ENCINITAS — City Council adopted a citywide emissions reduction plan March 9.

The unanimous vote to accept and implement the municipality’s first plan of its kind came after more than a year of workshops and planning by various departments.

It was separated from the general plan process in order to meet certain funding deadlines and to provide flexibility when changes are necessary according to Diane Langager, a principal planner with the city.

The guiding document or “roadmap” is meant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Authorities, neighbors know little about dead man

By Shelli DeRobertis

ENCINITAS — Caution tape still drapes across the front gate of a house on the 200 block of East Jason Street after an elderly man who lived alone was found dead inside during a fire last month, leaving unanswered questions from both neighbors and authorities.

Who was the man that lived in the house bordered by thick brush? Does he have any next of kin? Who will take care of the empty house?

On Feb. 13, a report was made to the Encinitas Fire Department at 7:36 a.m. that smoke was seen at the block UNANSWERED QUESTIONS 67889:(;<7=>??@;(ABC7(=7DB>E;(9E(A<7(?=9EA(FBA7(9?(A<7(<9G;7(>E(:<>H<(BE TURN TO KNOW ON A20

Students testify in school shooting

By Shelli DeRobertis

VISTA — “I saw the guy with the gun ... Pointing the gun at me ... He shot me on my arm ... It started to bleed ... I had to run,” answered a 7-yearold girl in court on March 7, during testimony at the preliminary hearing for a gunman who opened fire at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad last fall.

The girl was one of two second-graders who was wounded in her arm five months ago when the alleged gunman, Brendan Liam O’Rourke, 41, jumped the fence and shot at schoolchildren and adults during recess.

The young girls, ages 6 and 7 at the time of the shooting and now 7 and 8, testified separately, each with a teddy bear, and with their father and a therapy dog behind them.

LEAD STORY

New York University arts professor Wafaa Bilal had his camera surgically removed in February — the one that was implanted in the back of his skull in November to record, at 60second intervals, the places he had left behind (beamed to and archived by a museum in Qatar). The camera had been mounted under his skin, braced by three titanium posts, but his body very painfully rejected one of the posts, and his temporary solution is to merely tie the camera to the back of his neck (even though that work-around is unsatisfactory to him because it represents a less-personal “commitment” to the art).

In the future, he said, communication devices like his will routinely be part of our bodies.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit

Till Krautkraemer’s New York City beverage company MeatWater creates dozens of flavors of water for the upscale market of hearty gourmets who would like their daily salads, or shellfish, or goulash from a bottle instead of from a plate. Among his new flavors introduced in January, according to an AOL News report, were poached salmon salad water and a Caribbean shrimp salad water that can double as a vodka mixer.

Old standbys include Peking duck water, tandoori chicken water, bangers ‘n’ mash water, and Krautkraemer’s favorite, German sauerbraten water.

• Sell What You Know: In December, a company in eastern Ukraine (a country known for hard drinking) announced a “drinking buddy” service in which, for the equivalent of about $18, it would supply a barroom companion for the evening, “qualified” to discuss politics, sports, women, etc., and even to offer psychological counseling if appropriate.

• Not Your Father’s Scotch: (1) The Panamanian company Scottish Spirits recently introduced a straight Scotch whisky in 12ounce cans, for a market of mobile drinkers who prefer not to invest in a whole bottle.The international Scotch whisky trade association expressed alarm. (2) At Clive’s, of Victoria, British Columbia, Glenfiddich Scotch whisky is only one ingredient in the signature cocktail “Cold Night In,” which, according to a January New York Times review, combines “molecular mixology” and comfort food.

Review threatens to sue News CEO says suit could cost $2 mil. in legal fees, and $900K in damages

By Promise Yee

RANCHO SANTA FE — In a David versus Goliath standoff, the Rancho Santa Fe News is facing the threat of a lawsuit by Anthony Allegretti, president and CEO of MainStreet Communications, which publishes 17 newspapers including the Rancho Santa Fe Review.

The proposed charge is that the Rancho Santa Fe News’ advertising rates are driving the financially backed “Review” out of business, or at least hurting its profits.

On the David side the “News” is owned by independent publisher Jim Kydd and is one of two publications of The Coast News Group. The bimonthly News distributes on demand and mails 10,000 copies to CEO Rancho Santa Fe Review CEO Anthony Allegretti.

His campaign will include heavy use of the Internet.

“I’m an expert at viral marketing,” Kiger said. “I will use all channels of the Internet.”

Oversized vehicle parking curbed on Carlsbad Blvd.

By Alyx Sariol

CARLSBAD — Oversized vehicle owners will have to look farther south on Carlsbad Boulevard for parking this summer, as City Council introduced an ordinance Tuesday prohibiting large vehicles from parking on the boulevard close to the Village.

As of Memorial Day, oversized vehicles will be prohibited from parking on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard, from Redwood Avenue to Cherry Avenue.

The restrictions will remain in place through Labor Day. “We’re not depriving them of the opportunity to park in Carlsbad, we’re just asking them not to park on that two and a half blocks,” Councilman Keith Blackburn

said. “It’s a great start, but we still need to do a lot of work to protect the quality of life for residents.”

The recently approved restrictions will affect those oversized and recreational vehicles that exceed seven feet in height, seven feet in width and 22 feet in length, including any attached accessories. Parking hours in the area will remain the same.

Residents have long complained about oversized vehicles parking on Carlsbad Boulevard, which prompted council’s direction to city staff to explore the issue.

“The impacts due to oversized vehicles include the taking up of many spaces, leaving very few for other vehicles,” city Traffic

Engineer John Kim said.

“The height of these oversized vehicles can also block ocean views.”

Some North County residents fear that the restrictions are penalizing RV owners; others in the area worry that oversized vehicles will simply look elsewhere for parking, including the residential areas.

“We have an overflow of recreational vehicles into our area already and we feel if there’s more restriction on Carlsbad Boulevard, it’ll only get worse,”Village by the Sea resident James Landis said.

Garfield Street resident Bob Lawrence also noted that with or without restrictions, oversized vehicle owners use his street as a parking lot in the off hours. He and

other residents hope to discuss how to resolve the issue with council members in the future.

“If you’ll inspect the records for the amount of accidents we have on our street, you’ll see it’s because of the visibility,” Lawrence said. “They (oversized vehicles) park and you can’t see around them.”

Council members reassured Landis, Lawrence and other speakers that these new restrictions were the first phase in Carlsbad’s attempt to tackle the oversized vehicle complaints.

“This is a beginning step,” Councilman Mark Packard said. “I intend to monitor the outcomes and see what kind of quality of life issues it brings up.”

Underage booze trap catches 6

By Shelli DeRobertis

VISTA — Several people were arrested March 5 during a county decoy aimed at curbing the purchase of alcohol for minors.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Vista Station, Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving Unit and agents from the state’s Alcohol Beverage and Control conducted an operation called Shoulder Tap, which resulted in the arrest of six adults.

The sting was performed in the evening hours, in various locations, and entailed a minor asking an adult to purchase alcohol for them, according to the sheriff’s department.

Of the 38 adults who were contacted during the operation, six were arrested and cited and released.

According to Deputy J. Boyce, one person was also arrested and booked into the Vista jail for being drunk in public.

The penalty for a person who furnishes alcohol to a minor is a minimum $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service, according to the state.

In addition, the state’s enforcement and violations fact sheet says “If a person buys alcohol and furnishes it to a minor who consumes it and causes great bodily injury or death to himself or others, the furnisher faces a minimum six to 12 months in county jail and a $1,000 fine.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Increasing FAR a cheaper alternative to form based code

It was noted in a recent news article that our new planning director was gearing up to proceed with the possible change to form based code zoning for the revitalization of the Del Mar commercial district.

Why are we wasting so much time and money to revitalize the downtown area, when it can be done sooner and at a lot less

expense by just increasing the floor area ratio, or FAR, from the very limiting 45 percent up to 90 to 100 percent? After all, the FAR for all adjacent cities is approximately 100 percent, and a form based code would also include an increased FAR. That doesn’t mean all commercial buildings would suddenly double in size, because a lot of them already are about 100 percent. But, those that would have the incentive to double in size would have to provide the

Review seeks to control ad prices in Rancho Santa Fe

By Jim Kydd Publisher

Seeking qualified writer for weekly local column

THE COAST NEWS

I rarely get on the pulpit. It takes something really, really wrong to get me going.

Enter Anthony Allegretti, the bully.

He is the CEO of the Rancho Santa Fe Review.

He is bullying me to “fix” my advertising prices to be as high as his are.

This is a direct attack against all Rancho Santa Fe advertisers — present and future. If I were to cave in, he would have no competition in the marketplace.

Here’s what he’s doing.

Last Friday I received a package of documents from Allegretti, who publishes numerous publications here in San Diego and elsewhere.

He is a big-time publisher compared to me and is backed by well-funded investment bankers.

We’re talking billions here.

This “nice” package I received from Allegretti dated Feb. 14 — my valentine, I guess — contained a threat to sue me and the Rancho Santa Fe News for a violation of the California Fair Practice Act and various violations of other antitrust legislation.

He alleged I was charging too little for my ads in 2010, thereby causing him to lose money. He said that if I didn’t raise my rates he would sue me for $900,000 (three times his lost revenue) and my legal fees would be around $2 million.

That is his position.

That is also a threat.

I used to have five newspapers. I closed three of them and one office because they weren’t profitable.

If the Rancho Santa Fe News’ low ad rates were causing me to lose money, as his threatened lawsuit implies, why would I keep publishing it?

His “package” is nothing but a scare tactic and also smacks of price collusion. If I were to charge what he wants me to charge for advertising, what happens to “fair competition in the marketplace?”

All advertisers will be forced to pay the same rate, which will be set by Allegretti.

I run a tight business and don’t have any debt service or investment bankers to pay off.

Allegretti does, so maybe that’s why he has to charge more for his ads.

Maybe he just wants no com-

petition so he can price “gouge.”

In the end, it will be the advertiser that will be hurt.

My only reason for writing this editorial is to expose Allegretti as a mean-spirited scoundrel of a businessman and to warn current and prospective advertisers of his tactics.

I just recently learned that Allegretti served the same Valentine’s Day package to a fellow publisher who competes with Allegretti in La Jolla.

This time he got the desired reaction. Already struggling with the economy, this publisher became very upset that he could face the possible loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars and the cost of $2 million in legal fees.

Here comes the good part.

Allegretti meets with this publisher and offers to buy the competing paper for a fraction of its value or says he will sue.

If you ask me, that is also an unfair business practice and just plain mean.

If he buys it, he will probably close it, creating a price fixing situation much the same as he is trying to do in Rancho Santa Fe. La Jolla advertisers will suffer.

If you currently advertise with the Review, I just want you to know where your money is going — to Allegretti and his investment bankers.

Perhaps when your contract is up with the Review, you might want to give us a call.

Obviously we charge less. We also give more.

In addition to being distributed everywhere the Review is, the Rancho Santa Fe News is mailman-delivered to 1,100 homes in the Santaluz area and 500 homes in the Rancho Pacifica area. The Review leaves these areas out of their circulation.

I am not going to allow Allegretti and the Review to scare me into raising my ad prices.

I’ve consulted a friend in the San Diego District Attorney’s office. I was advised to have my lawyer send a warning to Allegretti and his backers that they should cease any further action. Perhaps they aren’t smart enough to know that what they’re doing is illegal, so my lawyer is currently drafting a letter to them explaining the law.

They are leaving themselves open to some very serious legal ramifications and all advertisers will suffer.

DEL MAR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Restoration of the San Dieguito Wetlands is now in the final phase of construction. The five-month project, which began Feb. 15, will dredge approximately 85,000 cubic yards of sand currently clogging the San Dieguito River channel, resulting in a better exchange of water from the ocean to the new nature preserve.

La Costa AYSO board members switch clubs

By Bianca Kaplanek

CARLSBAD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After years of frustration with area management, the majority of directors from the La Costa AYSO governing board recently departed the local soccer organization and joined Carlsbad Wave Futbol Club to form La Costa Wave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all volunteers with a love of youth soccer, and we grew tired of people

outside of our community dictating what type of soccer experience your child would have,â&#x20AC;? Jason Haines, former La Costa AYSO regional commissioner, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know our time and talents can be better served to our local youth as La Costa Wave.â&#x20AC;?

The La Costa youth soccer organization was formed in 1999. It is one of seven regions in Area R, which

serves players in the vicinity of Carlsbad, San Marcos, Tierrasanta, Mira Mesa, Kearney Mesa, North Park and City Heights. Area R management, which is based in Mira Mesa and Kearny Mesa, controls the actions of North Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three regions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; La Costa, San Marcos and San Elijo.

Historically there has never been a shortage of play-

ers in the younger divisions, so nearly all those La Costa AYSO games are played on local fields.

But as the athletes become involved in middle and high school sports, fewer teams are fielded so games must played throughout the county.

Dan Halabuk, a 12-year volunteer with La Costa AYSO, said area management

for those upper division teams has provided poor scheduling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; late posting or errors in schedules â&#x20AC;&#x201D; poor fields and poor communication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regions have gotten different versions of the schedules or teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up,â&#x20AC;?

Artist turns broken china into mosaic art

By Lillian Cox

CARLSBAD — Heidi Grosshart of Shards & Recollections understands the occupational hazards that come with being a mosaic artist. Things like flying shards, bloody fingers — and striking fear into the hearts of hostesses when she compliments them on their dishes.

Grosshart’s mosaics are made of broken china.

“I’ll visit a friend’s home and say, ‘You have the most beautiful china!’” she explained. The hostess will issue a warning. “She’ll say, “Don’t even think about it, Heidi.” I’ll reply, ‘Well, if you ever drop a plate … ’” Grosshart never considered herself particularly artistic until 10 years ago when a friend from work gave her a mosaic stepping stone made

of china for her birthday.

When she expressed her admiration for the present the friend gave her an even bigger gift.

“She said, ‘Why don’t you take my tools, grout and plates and see how you like it,’” Grosshart recalls. “So it went from there. All the books tell you to start with a TURN TO MOSAIC ON A26

City adjusts building and planning fees to help bring balance to budget

By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — City Council unanimously OK’d a motion to adjust its outdated building and planning fees on March 2, to help the city recoup costs and balance its budget.

Current building fees only allow the city to recover 68 percent of its costs in planning services, 64 percent in building services and 67 percent in engineering services.The losses put the city in a $1,171,157 annual deficit that the city general fund picks up.

George Buell, director of the Development Services Department, said he hopes a new fee calculation method will help the department “close the gap” in losses.

Fees will be stepped up

gradually to recover costs. The initial increase will produce a 50 percent recovery rate.

Yearly increases will follow at a 25 percent increase each year until full recovery costs are reached within three to five years.

Once sufficient fees for services are reached the rates will be reviewed and adjusted yearly.

City Manager Peter Weiss said the annual review will not necessarily mean a yearly increase. “Adjustments will not be automatic,” Weiss said.

“They will be presented on an annual basis.”

Changes will also allow developers to have deposit accounts for large complex projects and provide subsidies for water heater permits, solar

energy generators and wind to energy generators.

The benefit of a subsidy for water heater permits is to ensure the increased cost is not too high for compliance and there is a minimized risk of water heaters being installed incorrectly.

The plus of a subsidy for solar energy and wind to energy generators is their longterm benefit to the community.

Steve Maciej, public policy analyst for the Building Industry Association, asked for a continuance on the item so builders could have more time to understand the proposed fee changes and direct deposits for large accounts.

“We’d like a continuance to TURN TO BUDGET ON A26

Additional donations were made by individuals, as well as through the sale of raffle tickets.

Far surpassing the goal of raising $495 to provide a six-month music therapy

scholarship for a young boy, the students were able to draw more than 200 community members and garner $800 in donations for a full year of music therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This partnership is so important because it allows Pacific Ridge School students to exercise their ethical responsibility to the community and be leaders by setting an example,â&#x20AC;? said Andrea Moriarty, board member for Banding Together and parent

Quiet train horn design costlier than expected

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — With the final design complete, the cost to install a system that would decrease horn noise as trains pass through Del Mar came in quite a bit higher than originally expected.

But thanks to City Councilmen Carl Hilliard and Mark Filanc, $90,000 in administrative fees were deleted, putting the final current estimate at $363,317.

Although that figure is still about $105,000 more than fundraisers anticipated, Hilliard said he is optimistic the final price tag will be closer to the original estimate.

For years residents have been trying to find a way to reduce horn noise at the city’s only crossing on Coast Boulevard. The city first looked into creating a true quiet zone, but that was estimated to cost more than $1 million.

“That blew it out of the range for City Council,” Public Works Director David Scherer said. The city also looked into installing pedestrian gates, but those presented a new set of concerns, including aesthetics.

Last year a group of residents began working with Quiet Zone Technologies to possibly install a stationary wayside horn system. The plan received council approval with the understanding that no city money could be used.

Through private donations the citizens group raised the necessary $17,548 for the preliminary design.

Updated project costs were presented at a March 2 open house in the City Hall Annex.

Scherer said the city directly notified about 300 residents about the meeting — it was also advertised electronically and at City Council meetings — but less than a dozen people attended.

North County Transit District will install the system, which will include two stationary horns permanently mounted at the crossing.

The horns, which will mimic the sound of train horns when a train approaches, will sound at 92 decibels 100 feet from the center line.

Two quiet zone indicators — poles with red Xs that let engineers know the wayside horn system is in place and working — will also be TURN TO HORN ON A46

Tri-City welcomes prestigious doctors OCEANSIDE — In the continuous pursuit of providing the most advanced healthcare to the community, Tri-City Medical Center recently opened the first of three specialty institutes and is adding top physicians to the medical staff.

Among the most recent additions to the medical staff are internationally recognized orthopaedic surgeon John Regan and David Perkowski, a pioneer of off-pump or “beating heart” coronary artery bypass surgery. Both doctors performed their first operations at Tri-City in December.

Tri-City’s Cardiovascular Health Institute opened in December; the Orthopaedic and Spine Institute is scheduled to open in the spring followed by the Cancer Institute.

Regan, an innovator in minimally invasive spine surgery, performed his first case at TriCity with orthopaedic surgeon Neville Alleyne. They operated on one of the victims of the 2008 Metrolink train collision in Los Angeles County. The accident left 34-year-old Luis Cruz with excruciating back

and leg pain. The pain was so severe, Cruz was unable to work or enjoy normal daily activities. Regan and Alleyne performed a posterior decompressive laminectomy fusion with inter-body cages, bone graft and instrumentation on the lower region of Cruz’s spine.

According to Alleyne, the addition of Regan is an important step in developing a comprehensive spine network at Tri-City.

“We will be able to treat very complex cases for a myriad of different people from within and outside the area — people like Mr. Cruz who otherwise would have to live with excruciating back and leg pain the rest of their lives. Our skills complement one another and together, we are greater than the sum of our parts,” Alleyne said. Cruz says that as a result of the surgery, he no longer has to take pain medication, the pain in his legs was gone almost immediately and he is looking forward to returning to work.

La Costa Canyon whites out rival for championship Who’s NEWS?

By Ali Madurowicz

SAN DIEGO — In what was expected to be a close game, the La Costa Canyon Mavericks boys basketball team blew out the Torrey Pines Falcons by 20 points at the CIF San Diego Section Division I championship game March 5 night at the USD Jenny Craig Pavillion.

La Costa Canyon outscored Torrey Pines with the final score 68-48. The stands were packed with spirited

students, fans and parents with nearly 5,700 people attending the six championship games that day. Drew Kitchens — the only senior on LCC’s roster — was the leading scorer with 25 points.

Following Kitchens was Matt Shrigley with 15 points and David Travers with 10 points.

This was the third win for the Mavericks against their cross-town rivals this season. LCC had seven turnovers, while Torrey Pines

had 11. The Mavericks completed 19 rebounds, only one more than the Falcons.

Junior Joe Rahon led Torrey Pines with 22 points and supporting Rahon was Nick Kerr, who scored nine points. Fans from both sides showed their school spirit with posters and chants. La Costa Canyon planned their traditional “White-Out” against Torrey Pines’ “GoldOut.” The Mavericks play Los Angeles’s Washington Generals on March 8 at home.

Students bridge gap by walking in seniors’ shoes COAST CITIES — Sixthgrade students from Temple Solel put themselves in 80year-old shoes in order to help develop a personal understanding of what their grandparents and great-grandparents might be feeling on any given day.

They placed popcorn kernels in their shoes to represent bunions; put cotton balls into their ears to represent loss of hearing; inserted candy into their cheeks to represent the difficulty of speaking with loose dentures; wore gloves to simulate loss of dexterity while looking through glasses coated with Vaseline to simulate vision loss. Then the kids attempted to do daily activi-

ties such as playing cards, reading magazines, opening jars and candy wrappers while residents of Belmont Village Senior Living of Cardiff looked on.

“We wanted to give them some perspective before they met with our seniors to ask about their lives a new insight into the mobility and communication challenges that older adults sometimes face,” said Inan Linton, Belmont Village executive director. “We use this training for our staff as well — we have so much to learn from our elders, if we just take the time.

Understanding their perspective helps us to do that.”

Belmont resident Dolores Wengert gave everyone a great reminder about hearing loss. “It is important to make eye contact before speaking to an older person and to begin by stating the person’s name to catch their attention,” Wengert said.

Afterward, everyone had a chance to express what they learned while using a walker and moving in a wheelchair.

Everyone met in Belmont’s Bistro for refreshments and a social where students and seniors chatted one-on-one.

OCEANSIDE — The Civic Center Library reopened its doors March 2 after 13 weeks of renovation that opened up the layout, centralized the information desk and co-located the children and teen sections.

Also added to the library are a coffee area, a cozy children’s story corner and private study rooms. The library renovation was funded by $533,000 in city funds and $125,000 in donations.

“They designed an architecture that was everything we hoped for and more,” Deborah Polich, the library director, said.

“It’s an exciting, open, warm, welcoming place,” Suzanne Williams, president of Friends of the Oceanside Public Library, said.

The renovation combines freshness and functionality. The reopened atrium space where the information desk sits on the first floor is now the core of library. A wider staircase was reorient-

“We opened up the inside of the library,” David Pfeifer, principal of Domusstudio Architecture, said.

“We wanted to preserve the original character of Charles Moore (the original architect). Some of the design

After a brief ribbon cutting ceremony Oceanside residents flooded in and put the new library digs to use. Each corner of the library from the computer stations to the soft seating nooks was immediately utilized.

Given the recent burglaries, do you leave your doors unlocked

We want more faster and we want it now Never mind how old I am. I know that technology is here to stay and I embrace it, while occasionally still being baffled by it. Let’s just say that I have pretty much handed over our future to the bright and prolific next generation.

But is anyone else feeling that our youthful innovators might be about to see themselves in their own rearview mirrors? By that I mean, perhaps the cart is getting in front of the horse or, simply, our enthusiastic innovators might just be zipping ahead without fully researching the impact of the next greatest idea?

My suspicions began when smart phones began dropping calls. Sure, they can do a dozen things, but if they aren’t behaving well as phones, how smart can they be? My discomfort was cemented when word came out that putting the 4G networks in place might just wipe out half the world’s GPS systems.

Whoa. I am thinking it’s slow-down, if not back-up, time. I am not entirely comforted that the 4G folks said they would “look in to the problem.”While it might just leave me lost in heavenknows-where at midnight, which is bad enough, I really don’t want to be on that airplane that suddenly can’t find the runway.

It should be mentioned that no one adapted more swiftly to the glorious speed of advancing technology than impatient me. No sooner did my computer’s speed increase by 50 percent than I was complaining it was too slow. I want it now, now, now or sooner. Mad, hot speed on my laptop would be glorious, but then I remember how many times in my young life I have been crazed because I was lost and late. I compare that to the absolute joy of punching in an address and having my screen tell me exactly how to get there. I just don’t know which I would be willing to give up.

What I want, bright young minds, is for you to get it right the first time and see this stuff coming. I want you to do superlative research and figure out ways around any and all problems. See … you’ve spoiled us. We really TURN TO SMALL TALK ON A46

CHRIS BURNS ENCINITAS

Josh Alvord, Leucadia I lock them always because I don’t want to get robbed.

With one of the houses I used to live in with roommates there was not even a house key.

Photographer offers to take free pictures of ill loved ones CARLSBAD — In honor of her dear friend who died nearly one year ago, local photographer Jamie Hickman is offering free photo sessions to terminally ill people and their families.

Hickman’s friend, Jackie Napier, died last year on March 15 after fighting a long and hard battle with cystic fibrosis, an inherited chronic disease.

Napier was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 6 weeks old, and was not supposed to live into her adult years. But with the love and determination of her family and doctors and many experimental treatments, she lived 27 fulfilling years.

Two days before Napier died, Hickman suggested they do a photo shoot. Napier was sitting in her mom’s bedroom and was down to weighing only 80 pounds. She had tubes coming out of nearly every part of her body, including IVs, an oxygen mask and a feeding tube.

“I said ‘you have to document this because no one should ever have to live like this, there needs to be a cure,’” Hickman recalled.

Napier’s mom, Carlsbad resident Mary Varrichio, said her daughter had accepted the fact that she was dying, and the pictures gave them both something they really needed.

“When I look at Jackie in the pictures she is so emaciated, so I understand her pain, I accept that she had to go, but it encapsulates the love that we shared,” Varrichio said. “I said ‘if you survive you have a record of your battle and you can look back and see how victorious you were, and if you don’t, your family will have a record of it.’”

Hickman, owner of Vista-based Emotions Photography, said she is offering free photo sessions to terminally ill people and their families because she wants to make sure families like Napier’s have beautiful photos to remember their loved ones by.

“You don’t know how much a photo is worth until the person you love is gone.

When all you have left to look at is a picture, you want to make sure you have several because there are never enough when someone is gone,” Hickman said.

The free gift Hickman is offering is valued at more than $250. There is no time limit on her offer; and because most people who are terminally ill are too sick to come to her studio, Hickman will drive to them.

Hickman plans to use the photos she took of Napier to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis in the hopes that

it will eventually lead to a cure being found.

“No one should have to hurt like she did,” Hickman said. “She was an amazing girl. Her laugh was contagious and her eyes were bright. She loved her friends.

She loved her family. She was all around a good person.”

“I will never stop fighting for a cure for cystic fibrosis,” Hickman added.

Man takes stand in his child porn trial

By Shelli DeRobertis

ENCINITAS — Michael Douglas took the stand in his own trial on March 7 and March 8 and testified that he didn’t do anything illegal on his computer.

He is charged with three counts of distributing child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography and a misdemeanor charge of attempting to send child pornography to a minor.

Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe said the case was complex and involved more than 5,000 chat logs and 1,000 images of child pornography.

If Douglas is found guilty, he will have to register as a sex offender, he said.

Douglas said he was sleeping the morning of Nov. 26, 2006, when he heard loud screaming and thought something happened to his dog.

“I flung my door open

and saw three agents with guns pointed to my head,” he said. “I was in sleep shorts. They yelled for me to get down.”

He said he was arrested and sent to jail and that his mother posted his bail.

He said he went home afterward, in shock of what was happening.

“I wasn’t doing anything illegal on the computer,” he said.

He told the jury he had a good idea of who might have used his computer, and that at least two people had his passwords and that his computer had also been hacked back in 1997.

He denied any interest in children, according to court records, and in his testimony to the court he said he liked women.

He said his favorite type of a woman is tall and athletic.

Environmental forum aims to bring awareness to teens and children

SOLANA BEACH — Proclaiming March as sustainability month in Solana Beach, the city and its Clean and Green Committee kicked off a series of events with a Focus on Youth forum March 4 at Solana Presbyterian Church.

“This is the first forum to engage the younger generation to think about their future and the role the environment plays in that future,” Lane Sharman, a key coordinator of the event, said.

“I think they all understand climate science, but many wonder, ‘Am I powerless to make a difference?’” he said.

“We are reaching out to inspire young people to get involved environmentally,” Marilee McLean from the Sierra Club said.

Attendees were first invited to visit information tables that featured a variety of organizations, such as Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Chevron, the Surfrider Foundation, Nature & Culture International, the Sierra Club of San Diego and the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation.

“And you don’t necessarily have to completely overhaul your fridge and pantry.

Sometimes all it takes is a few tweaks to your shopping list. For example, just grabbing black beans over white ones or canned tomatoes instead of fresh can make a difference.”

J MICHAEL VALLEE The Law and You

Insurance: Here today, cancelled tomorrow The insurance industry makes billions of dollars. Why would they want to cancel your policy? To make even more money.

Here’s the scam: An unfortunate loved one gets the bad news: they have been diagnosed with cancer, or any number of horrible illnesses. But, we have health insurance so at least we don’t have to worry about that. Right?

Not always.The newest battlefield in the health insurance arena is cancellation or “rescission” of the health insurance policy.

It goes like this. The insurance company gets the word that they will be on the hook for thousands or even hundreds of thousand of dollars for expensive health care when someone comes down with a serious sickness. Not wanting to pay, they scour through the person’s original application, which could be years old, and find some small omission or condition the person forgot to list.

They then turn around and say, “You lied to us on the application many years ago so we no longer have to cover you and we won’t be paying for any of your medical bills, even though we cashed your premiums all of these years.” Fair?

Hardly, but unfortunately, it’s happening all too frequently.

Outrageous examples of these “rescissions” abound. Individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer have been told “no coverage” when they need it the most. Mothers have been notified that they and their newborns have been terminated even after the insurer approved prenatal services. Why? Perhaps they forgot to list an antianxiety medication they got in college decades ago, or the mother didn’t list TURN TO LAW AND YOU ON A25

Local company lets dogs have their night

By Lillian Cox

CARLSBAD — Last year, during the peak of the recession, Michael Drentea rolled the dice and took a gamble on a business concept that was inspired by his love of dogs.

The idea centered around an incident involving Nikki, his 9-year-old Yorkie.

“I was running at night a lot and wearing a reflective lighted armband,” he said.

“My girlfriend, Rocio Simental, wanted to put it on Nikki when we walked on Carlsbad Boulevard so the cars would see her.”

After being overwhelmed with inquiries about the lighted collar from other dog owners, Drentea and Simental got the idea for the business. They named it appropriately, Dog’s Nite Out. A former account executive with No Fear, Drentea was able to parlay his experience in action sports into a line of apparel and accessories for canines.

“Once we got the lighted collars, I said we need to offer more to make this business work,” he recalls. “We love the beach, we love dogs and we love the Chargers and Padres. I wanted to include dogs in the Southern California lifestyle.”

Drentea’s vision was to be an online distributor of high-end sports equipment carrying labels of Body Glove and the NFL to enable dogs to share their owner’s love of surfing, kayaking, camping and hiking in the desert.

“Wherever you go, your dogs can go with you in style, and at an affordable price,” Drentea added.

An avid surfer, Drentea decided to take his idea up a notch.

“When I was on Carlsbad High School surf team, I found out about surf dog contests,” he explained.

“I wanted to be part of it. I

said to (professional surfer and shaper) Scott Chandler, ‘Can you make a special surfboard for dogs?’”

Chandler responded by designing a foam board with a track top that provides traction for paws. A recessed handle makes it possible for the owner to hold the board and keep the dog on top.

Like Drentea, Chandler enjoys surfing with his dog, Zoey. In 2007 they and the rest of the Chandler family won the second annual Loews Coronado Dog Surfing Championship.

“This area is now known as the Dog Surfing Capital,” Chandler said. “It’s a great way to bond with your dog and build that trust to get him in the water. I also have a pot belly pig that I take surfing.”

Another component of Drentea’s vision was for his business to contribute to the community. To do so, he adopted the idea of having the first dog surf team, featuring celebrity surf dog Ricochet, where each dog raises money for charitable causes. In 2010-2011, the team raised money for TURN TO NIGHT ON A22

CARLSBAD — Children of all ages had a blast at Carlsbad’s Community Play Date on March 5, where residents were invited to sample the enrichment classes and summer activities offered by the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.

The free and interactive Community Play Date featured karate demonstrations, tennis, volleyball and a firsthand look at camp activities available this summer. It was held at Stagecoach Community Center, 3420 Camino de los Coches, in southeast Carlsbad.

“We want the residents to know what classes are offered at this center,” Recreation Supervisor Aimee Blanchard said.“This is a great time for them to meet the instructors and ask them questions before signing up for a class.”

Community Play Date also offered a family obstacle course; a Lego build station; country line dancing; belly dancing; and if kids were feeling brave, a chance to get up close and personal with Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

“It’s a great opportunity for the kids to find out what they like before they get involved,” Carlsbad resident Kimi Balda said. Her children Ethan, 7, and Emma, 11, tried out tennis and volleyball. “We want to get them involved in a sport so this is a good place to start.”

Most recently added to Carlsbad’s Parks and Recreation sports roster is Coach Debbie Reed, who is offering an all ages, co-ed beginning volleyball class, the only one of its kind in North County. “Everyone can come and learn the basics,” Reed said.

Think beyond the dish Dishwashers make clean up a snap. This timesaving appliance can clean more than dishes, too. Some items shouldn’t be cleaned in a dishwasher, such as cast iron, wooden or brass items, crystal, quality knives and many types of pots and pans. But there are plenty of household items that are dishwashersafe. What have you cleaned in your dishwasher?

I’m not suggesting you wash some of these items with your food dishes or run an entire cycle for one item.

Do make sure you’re using high temperature water (above 155 F) to kill bacteria.

These tips are definitely not going to appeal to everyone, but here are a few ideas.

Baseball caps: Place caps on the top rack and wash them without losing their shape.

You can take it one step further and buy a plastic cap shaper that can help make sure your caps don’t get wrinkled. They can be used in the dishwasher or top loading washing machine. Don’t use your dishwasher’s heat drying option. Allow the caps to airdry.

Brushes and combs: Freshen your plastic hair tools by washing them in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove any hair in them beforehand because it’s pretty gross otherwise. They can be placed in the utensil holder, or put them in a mesh laundry bag and place them on the top rack.

Lunch boxes and bags: Plastic lunch boxes and insulated bags can be cleaned on the top rack of your dishwasher. One reader, Maggie from Indiana, shares: “I washed my daughter’s school lunch bag in the dishwasher. It gets really dirty and nasty looking on the outside from stuff leaking in it. The dishwasher makes it look brand new. I’ve done this several times, and the lunch bag is still good.”

More trees felled on Coast Highway

By Wehtahnah Tucker

LEUCADIA — As the city embarks on a detailed plan to beautify the North Coast Highway 101, some residents and business owners are confused by the lack of coordination with other agencies to protect and preserve the historical tree canopy shading much of the expanse of the area.

The latest glitch in the communication between the city and the community occurred Feb. 22 as the North County Transit District stopped a tree crew that was felling Eucalyptus trees on the eastern edge of Highway 101 near Diana Street.

As is commonplace, the city is responsible for placing notifications on trees that are slated for removal. However, community members said they had not been notified of the work as promised.

NCTD Communications Director Alex Wiggins confirmed that the agency responsible for maintaining the area along the railroad corridor is required to give proper notice to residents prior to any tree removal.

“We have an agreement with the city of Encinitas and residents that adequate notice be given,” Wiggins said

in an interview. “Because that notification had not occurred, we stopped. We’re not just removing trees for the sake of taking them down.”

In fact, Wiggins said part of the miscommunication stemmed from the time lapse between the decision to remove the trees and the actual work. “We started this process in the fall of 2009,” he said. “We (NCTD) hired an arborist to determine the health of the trees and 11 were in danger of falling on the right of way or were diseased.”

“I’m a tree hugger myself,” Wiggins claimed.

“Cutting and removing trees is a last resort.”

Wiggins said NCTD should have gone back to the city to remind it of the impending tree removal.

“That was a failure on our part,” he said. NCTD staff is now working with the city to hash out the details of advancing the tree removal in a timely, but reasonable manner.

“We’re invested in doing whatever it takes to explain the reasoning behind the tree removal to the community,” he said.

Morgan Mallory, a Leucadia Highway 101 Mainstreet board member,

resident and longtime business owner, said he was surprised to find crews firing up chainsaws as he opened his gallery on Highway 101. “I asked them what they were doing, we had no notice,” he said.

Like many other community members, Mallory is anxious to see the ratio of trees go up rather than down. He said the first phase of the streetscape calling for 101 trees is exciting. However, the planting isn’t scheduled for at least five years.

“The trees that are there now, we’re hoping that they can be trimmed rather than cut down as long as there’s no imminent danger.”

Mallory served on the specific plan committee of the North Highway 101 corridor 19 years ago. “We’ve had all sorts of workshops over the years to get community input and restoring and maintaining the tree canopy is always one of the top priorities,” Mallory said.

The trees flanking both sides of Highway 101 are a defining characteristic of Leucadia. “They help to maintain a little of the rural flavor of our community,” according to Mallory.

“We’ve seen removal

after removal and it’s become unsightly,” he said. “We’re hoping to form a camaraderie with NCTD so that we can understand their dire need to remove trees along the corridor and they can understand our desire to have the aesthetics maintained with the tree canopy.”

There are concerns that NCTD is actually removing trees that are situated along the city’s right of way or at least shared. While Wiggins denies the allegation and maintains that only trees that pose an “imminent danger” of falling onto NCTD’s right of way are slated for removal, others point to the long time lapse as proof that the perceived threat is overamplified.

“I’m only going to hope that this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing,” said a nearby business owner who asked to remain anonymous.

“It’s sad that our city and NCTD can’t get it together to post signs and notify the community,” she said. “But it would be worse if the city knew NCTD was cutting trees that were its responsibility to maintain just to get it over with and have no regard for keeping a part of our history alive.”

Uncommon form of shingles needs time

Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. I’ve been treated with prednisone and antiviral drugs. I ask every doctor I’ve seen, “What can I do to be proactive?” The answer is always,“Nothing, only time.” I understand that, but what can I do to hasten healing?

Massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, anything? Each doctor says I can do whatever I want but nothing is going to help. Isn’t there anything I can do?

Dear Reader: Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when the facial nerve to one of the ears becomes infected by the shingles/chickenpox virus.

DR. GOTT Second Opinion The primary symptoms are a painful red rash with blisters in, on and around one ear associated with facial weakness or paralysis on the same side. For some, the rash or the weakness may occur before the other, and rarely for some, a rash will never present. Other symptoms may include hearing loss, change in or loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, ear pain and difficul-

ty closing one eye.

Complications can include eye damage owing to improper eye closure because of facial paralysis or weakness; permanent hearing loss and facial weakness; and postherpetic neuralgia (pain caused by damaged nerves).

Treatment includes antiviral drugs, steroids and pain relievers. If vertigo is a problem, anti-anxiety drugs may be beneficial. Home remedies include over-thecounter pain relievers and cool, wet compresses. If closing the eye is difficult, try using moisturizing eyedrops and taping the eyelid shut at night to prevent drying and damage.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any effective alternative treatments that will speed healing. The virus has to run its course. Even with antiviral medication, some damage will be done, and only time will tell whether it’s permanent.

I suggest you try whatever alternatives you like, and keep a journal of the symptoms before treatment, what type of treatment you had and how your symptoms were affected, if at all, after treatment. If you have positive results from something, stick to it. Let me know of your results, and I will print a TURN TO SECOND OPINION ON A18

• “You’re not going to like this,” warned NPR’s Robert Krulwich, about to deliver a February story about visionary robotics developers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau, who created a carnivorous clock, supposedly able to power itself for 12 days merely on the carcasses of 12 dead houseflies (which the clock traps with fly paper and then mechanically razors in two). The pair also showed a prototype of a coffee table that catches mice by luring them up the table legs with cheese into a hole in the center, where they are guillotined.

Auger and Loizeau said their creations are just extensions of TV nature programs showing animals hunting in the wild, but Krulwich fretted about the dangers inherent in “giving robots a taste for (meat).”

• Scientists have long observed male capuchin monkeys urinating on their hands and then rubbing down their bodies, but researchers were unclear about the purpose (whether for identification, or threat-prevention, or mating) — until a recent issue of the American Journal of Primatology.

Dr. Kimberly Phillips and colleagues found that the practice helps clarify mating priorities, in that, first, males rub down promptly after being solicited by females in heat, and second, based on MRI scans of capuchins’ brains, female mating activity is triggered only by adults’ urine.

Seating at all levels is limited. For tickets, call (858) 4146296.

When the gala committee for the event convened its first meeting last September, the first challenge was securing a title sponsor for its annual fundraising gala. The McCains, longtime supporters of Rady Children’s, agreed to return as the event’s title sponsor.

McCain, Inc. is a national manufacturer and supplier of traffic, parking and transit management systems, and has its LEED-certified manufacturing facility in Vista. The McCains have been Rancho Santa Fe residents for more than 12 years and have been gala sponsors for six years. This is their third year as title sponsor.

Beth McCain has been a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary since 2003.

The McCains have three grown children and six grandchildren. Last spring, when their 9-year-old grandson Tyler Todd was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the importance of supporting society’s most vulnerable members hit close to home.

“Because we did not have little ones at home any more, I had never stepped through the hospital doors,” she said. “But the minute we did,we new Tyler was in good hands. It was then that I realized the fruition of all those years of volunteer work for Children’s Hospital.”

One of the more remarkable cases at Rady’s, Tyler was in full remission within 14 days of beginning treatment. Tyler will be on a maintenance program for three years. He’s back in school and recently made the travel baseball team.

Development and art shapes seaside community

By Wehtahnah Tucker

CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA — The namesakes of the winding roads in the town are an insight into the earliest development of what was a sleepy outpost by the Pacific Ocean in the early part of the 1900s.

After Hector MacKinnon settled at the northern mouth of the San Elijo Lagoon in 1875, all remained relatively quiet in the area that would soon become Cardiff.

In 1910, J. Frank Cullen arrived from Boston. A painter by trade, the visionary saw a potential coastal playground laid out before him. He purchased MacKinnon’s land in 1911 and began to plot the town site. According to historical documents, the entrepreneur sold lots for $30 up to $45 for prime corner spots.

As infrastructure developed, Cullen’s wife, Esther, encouraged her husband to name the town after her native homeland of Cardiff,Wales.

Obtaining a consistent supply of water for the new town proved to be Cullen’s biggest obstacle. Initially a twoinch main pipe carried water three miles from Cottonwood Creek to a storage tank on the hill overlooking Cardiff. The pump was operated by a gasoline engine that was not as reliable as necessary for a growing town. Approximately 100 residents had settled in the area according to historical records.

Cullen was joined by

other residents and business owners, many of them flower growers, in forming a water district that would ensure a more consistent source of water to the town. Finally, in 1922, the San Dieguito Irrigation District

became a reality. The storage tank was eventually converted into a house that remains at the top of the town today.

As Cullen pursued his desire to develop a resort-like atmosphere, another pioneer was making progress toward bringing cultural sensibilities to the outskirts of society.

Victor Kremer, a Germanborn music publisher and composer, found his way to Cardiff and laid claim to the Composer District, north of Birmingham Drive. Current resident Billy Stern said his experience walk-

ing through his neighborhood with his oldest son in 2004, and noticing all of the street names designated as great composers, was intriguing.

Stern set out on a journey of discovery to uncover the origins of the neighborhood street names.“It was just a great story of Victor Kremer and his passion for music and the arts,” Stern said. Given his own deep love of music, Stern, who is on the board of directors of the nonprofit Guitars in the Classroom and an accomplished guitarist, the process of

learning about the roots of his neighborhood, came naturally.

“I definitely care about the community and I definitely care about music,” he said. A self-described “knowledge navigator,” Stern said he was aptly prepared to find out why Kremer chose the composers such as Mozart and Verdi and others to put a stamp on the area.

Book chronicles grave sites of the rich, famous E’LOUISE ONDASH Hit the Road Before there was Disneyland, there was Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.

Prior to the 1955 opening of the Magic Kingdom, “Forest Lawn was the #1 tourist destination for visitors in the Los Angeles area,” writes Don Keister, author of “Forever L.A.: A Field Guide to Los Angeles Area Cemeteries & Their Residents” (Gibbs Smith; $19.99).

The Chico photographer, historian and storyteller extraordinaire doesn’t see dead people, but he likes to visit them.

Thankfully, he’s passed on his vast store of cemetery lore to us in “Forever L.A.,” replete with photos and information about the graves of the rich and famous, as well as the 13 cemeteries and their often stunning architecture, sculptures and paintings.

“A hundred years ago, garden cemeteries were a destination,” Keister said in a phone interview. “They were wonderlands that pre-dated public parks. Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn,N.Y.,which was the template for Central Park, was the second most popular destination in the U.S. besides Niagara Falls. Then someone said, ‘Maybe we should have a place like this without graves.’”

We also should be thankful for cemeteries, he added,

“because they preserve open space. If it weren’t for some cemeteries, there’d be a bunch of office buildings there.”

Keister, who has authored more than three dozen books, many on architecture, has earned the title of America’s most noted photographer of historic architecture and the country’s top expert on cemetery symbolism “only because nobody else is,” he said. “I get calls all the time from New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and recently I was on ‘CBS Sunday Morning.’”

Keister’s flair for words gives readers wonderful nuggets about cemetery celebs,

Students to perform ‘The Misanthrope’ SAN MARCOS — The Cal State San Marcos Visual and Performing Arts Department will present a seven-night production of “The Misanthrope,” a 17th-century comedy written

by French playwright and actor Molière on the absurdities of social and literary pretension of aristocratic society.

Translated by Richard Wilbur, the wry French comedy will be directed by Professor Marcos Martinez and performed by a cast of 10 students, beginning nightly at 7 p.m.

April 13 through April 16 and April 20 through April 22.

A satirical play, “The Misanthrope” follows the thorny love life of the irascible Alceste and the coquettish

Hospice shows off new home CARLSBAD — Hospice of the North Coast will hold a ribbon-cutting and open house from 4 to 6 p.m. March 24 at its new permanent Carlsbad home at 2525 Pio Pico Drive, led by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.

PRP Wine International is the wine sponsor for the event. Richard Bier of Isaac’s Catering will provide hors d’oeuvres.

The event will celebrate Hospice’s move in late 2010 to its new three-story, 9,000square-foot facility from its former 5,000-square-foot location at 5441 Avenida Encinas.

Executive Director Nerice Kaufman is eager to show off HNC’s full-featured headquarters.

“Guests will have an opportunity to tour the facility and meet our Board of Directors, Auxiliary, staff and volunteers,” Kaufman said.

“People can enjoy some of the many integrative therapies we offer, such as massage, music and aromatherapy. They will learn about the many ways in which we serve clients and our entire North County community as well as discover how to get involved with our programs and services. It’s going to be an exciting and enlightening afternoon.”

“Now, in our 31st year, we are well-positioned to expand our services and value to the community,” she said.

Nonprofit Hospice of the North Coast was established in 1980 to fill the need for

comprehensive, compassionate hospice care in North County.

Since its inception, it has grown in services, staff and clients.

It currently provides a full spectrum of programs to terminally ill clients and their families, including bereavement support.

To fulfill its mission of maintaining dignity, comfort and highest quality of life for those it serves, regardless of ability to pay, HNC hosts fundraising events, operates a family support camp and resale shop, and maintains a cadre of volunteers.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have had an ear problem for approximately two years. My ear built up with fluid. A tube was inserted. Now my ear continues to drain a clear fluid, like when your nose runs.When I wake up,it is full of liquid.After turning over,it drains out.I have been to four doctors without any help.

Dear Reader: Several things can cause chronic ear drainage, but without further details, I cannot begin to guess what the cause of yours may be.

You don’t mention if you have any other symptoms.

Why did your ear first build up with fluid? Did you have an ear infection? Do you have any loss of hearing? Pain? Is the fluid crystal clear, or is there some cloudiness to it?

Is there any blood present or an odor? Which ear does it occur in, or does it affect both? Do you have headaches, dizziness or blurred vision? Do you have any skin disorders or other medical problems? Are you currently taking any medications — prescription, herbal or over-the-counter? Does it occur every day? Several times a day? Does anything make it better or worse? All of these are important questions that need to be answered before a proper diagnosis can be made and treatment provided.

You also don’t mention what type of doctors you have been seeing. I assume that at least one was an ear-noseand-throat specialist because a tube was inserted at the beginning of your symptoms.

Have you seen other ENTs? A neurologist? Internist or general practitioner? Have any of the four physicians done thorough examinations to include blood work and imaging studies, such as a CT scan or MRI of your head and neck?

Because I don’t have the answers to any of these, I can only offer some general information about potential causes. The most common is wax.

Earwax, however, is not clear.

It is typically yellow or brownish. Another common cause is ear infection. This can be chronic but is often associated with some degree of pain and yellow, pus-like drainage. Some may experience partial or total hearing loss in the affected ear.

Allergies can be another cause.This is often seen with other allergy symptoms, such as nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. Allergies to metals, such as those present in earrings, can result in ear TURN TO GOTT 3 ON A22

Marine band offers concert for local community CARLSBAD — The United States Marine Corps’ famed Drum and Bugle Corps, also known as the “Commandant’s Own” band, will present a free concert for the Carlsbad community at 10 a.m. March 14 on the Lancer Field at Carlsbad High School, 3557 Lancer Way. The 45-minute perform-

ance will feature traditional American marching music and complex maneuvers that are the trademark of this highly-trained band.

Due to anticipated high attendance, event-goers are advised to arrive early, park at a distance, and wear comfortable walking shoes.

“We are thrilled to host this event on our new Lancer

Field,” Carlsbad High School Principal Maggie Stanchi said.

“Due to its busy regimen, the band schedules only one performance at a public school per month and rarely in the same city or state. It is an exceedingly rare honor for the band to select a public school for one of its performances.”

Established in 1934 to augment the “President’s Own” Marine Band, the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps is the only full-time, active duty drum corps in the Armed Forces. Due to its historical connection to the Commandant of the Marine Corps, it is popularly known as the “Commandant’s Own” and regularly performs with

its sister military band for the president of the United States.

In addition to performing annually at more than 400 events in the U.S. and around the world, members undergo full Marine Corps Basic Training and are skilled in combat infantry tactics. For more information, visit drum corps.mbw.usmc.mil/.

of East Jason, which is an established residential Leucadia area with an assortment of house styles just blocks from the beach.

When the fire department arrived, they found light smoke coming out of a pet door, but no flames, according to the department.

Once inside the house, they discovered a fire that had contained itself and had not broken through the roof.

They doused the fire and found the remains of a burned body, according to Sgt. E. J. Dayrit of the sheriff’s bomb and arson unit.

He said investigators did not suspect foul play and that the county’s medical examiner’s office would investigate the cause of death.

But it’s been weeks since the fire and man’s death, and next door neighbor George Geiger said he and his wife have contacted several city agencies about the vacant house.

News. “I’m not going to comment on those,” Hawks said.

Housatonic Partners is another investment manager for MainStreet Communications and owns 36 percent of the company.

Joe Niehaus, general partner for Housatonic Partners, would not comment on the registered letters sent to The Coast News Group or the proposed lawsuit. “I’m not going to address any of that,” Niehaus said.

Allegretti claims in certified letters that the News caused the Review to lose at least $300,000 in 2010. He further threatened to sue for $900,000 plus attorney fees he estimates at $2 million, if the News advertising rates are not “adjusted” and increased.

“The law Allegretti is quoting is to protect the little guy,” Kydd said. “I don’t have the money to outlast him and his investment bankers and he knows it. He’s the predator.”

Kydd does not know what prices Allegretti charges for advertising.

Likewise, he said Allegretti does not have access to the News’ records of pricing or operating costs on which his

interesting people that still live here today and are attracted to the area that the existence of the composer district serves as a metaphor. “When he (Kremer) put a street sign up it was meant to inspire people,” Stern said he believes.

What was originally going to be named “the paradise artists’ colony” became the Composer District. While his fellow musicians scoffed at the idea of living in a remote outpost, Kremer was not deterred.

In fact, he set his sights on creating a drink from a

wild passion fruit vine growing in his backyard called “Passionola.” As fate would have it, a bitter frost put an end to his dream of creating a new industry but did help him survive the Great Depression as he eked out a living on the passion fruit harvest.

Perhaps his most obvious legacy is the addition of “by-the-Sea” to Cardiff, taken from the popular 1914 song “By the Beautiful Sea.” Given the abundance of artists living in Cardiff and the number of tourists soaking up the coastal riches in the summer months, the dreams of both early settlers seem to have been realized.

He hasn’t found out any information, he said.

“My main concern is keeping it clean,” he said.

At least one window is boarded, and while most of the house is hidden from the street’s view, Geiger said that his neighbor never really kept up the yard.

“We did a little work on Saturday. We just weedwhacked it and made it look like somebody’s been around,” he said.

The city recommends that code enforcement be contacted, and a complaint form be filled out to notify them of any concerns.

“The neighbors have to submit a complaint form to the city,” said Marianne Buscemi, a code enforcement officer for Encinitas.

Geiger said he would complete the form.

The yellow tape remains while investigators try to locate the deceased man’s next of kin, Encinitas Fire Department Division Chief Scott Henry said.

“We’re having difficulty locating next of kin,” he said.

“We secured the building the best we could,” he said, and added that the tape is there as an extra caution to deter curious people from going onto the property.

When Buscemi was asked what would happen to the vacant house if a next of kin was not located, she said that this type of situation has never come up before.

“But we would definitely look into it,” she said.

Though investigators with the coroner’s office still have not identified the man, the autopsy report shows he died of natural causes.

An investigator at the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office said that they “have been unable to confirm his identity through official means.”

Neighbors said the man lived in the house for decades, and that his name is Keith Manigold, and he was in his late 80s.

Geiger said he believes Manigold to be the first person to live on the street.

He said his wife has lived next door to Manigold for 22

years, and that his wife passed away last year.

“He was a crazy guy but an animal lover,” he said.

They didn’t know of any other family he might have.

“I know he was in the military — the Navy,” he said.

Thomas Evans, 26, is the neighbor on the other side of the now-vacant house, and said he has lived there for two years.

He said Manigold loved the crows and fed them cat food every day at 11 a.m.

“I’ve never seen a man with such a connection,” he said.

He said Manigold has nice property with a large backyard that can fit another house.

Evans said he thinks that Manigold has a sister.

“I think that’s crazy they haven’t identified him yet.

“I have a few letters he has written and signed his name on, from about a year ago,” he said.

Henry said that the fire department has contacted code enforcement about the house.

allegation is based.

Several area attorneys, all of whom declined to be quoted, were asked for their opinions on the charges. All agreed that it is unlikely that the suit will go to court due to the lack of evidence and the disparity in size between the two publishing companies.They added that it is difficult for a large newspaper group to claim that it was hurt by the rates of a smaller paper.

“No one can tell you what price you have to sell at,” one of the attorneys said.

He went on to say that any attempt to limit competition is restraint of trade.

Allegretti has reportedly made similar threats to other small papers in San Diego County. While publishers did not want to be quoted directly, some say they have heard around the publishing community that Allegretti recently sent a similar letter to another San Diego County newspaper. He threatened to sue the paper and then offered to buy the paper at a “lowball” price.

The publisher of that paper, who did not want to be quoted, said they consider Allegretti’s proposed lawsuit a bluff, but are fearful that if Allegretti follows through they will not be able to

weather the possible court costs, that could run in the millions, to show that there is no merit to the charges.

M a i n S t r e e t Communications Chief Operating Officer Steve Staloch said he is not aware of Allegretti’s offer to buy any paper at this time.

“We’re always interested in acquisitions that make sense, strategic acquisitions,” Staloch said.

When asked about the proposed lawsuits Staloch had no comment. “This is not a news story,” Staloch said.

If Allegretti pursues the lawsuits, his claims could damage the livelihood of two local newspapers.

One longtime local publisher said that instead of basing competition on readership and compelling news columns, Allegretti is basically saying “play ball with me or I’ll spend you into submission.”

“He has the fear factor going for him,” Kydd said.

“His package of certified letters is nothing but a scare tactic and also smacks of price collusion.”

Allegretti said he would not speak directly about any proposed lawsuit and did not confirm that that his company is losing money.

“A company can be mak-

ing money,” Allegretti said.

“It’s nothing to do with whether you’re doing well or whether you’re doing poorly. It has to do with the other business. The law says you can’t sell anything below cost.”

Kydd said the charges do not make sense because the News runs a balanced budget with all fully loaded costs, including building rental, utilities and sales commissions.

Kydd and others see the situation as Allegretti trying to leverage his size and multiple publications to eliminate competition.

“It just smells,” one attorney said.

Allegretti insists size does not matter. “The law is meant for all California companies,” Allegretti said. “It’s nothing to do with the size of a company.”

“This is a direct attack against all Rancho Santa Fe advertisers present and future,” Kydd said. “If I were to cave in, he would have no competition in the marketplace.”

Allegretti may be opening up himself and his company for a lawsuit.

“I’m considering suing him for threatening me and suggesting price fixing,” Kydd said. “I think what he’s doing is terribly wrong.”

within the city. “It is a living document,” Langager told the council.

“It makes your eyes tired and your eyes sore,” said Mayor James Bond, referring to the in-depth report brought forth by the city staff and consultants.

“We have to make sure we’re not replicating or duplicating a lot of things.”

Consultants from Irvinebased CTG Energetics, Inc. gave a presentation outlining the Climate Action plan, known as CAP. Heather Rosenberg, a principal at the company gave a brief history of the reason for developing a plan to reduce emissions.

The nebulous state law AB 32, the global warming solutions act, passed in 2006 and calls for a reduction in emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Transportation, housing, agriculture, building, land use and many other issues are included within one regulatory framework Rosenberg said.

“The law recommends that municipalities reduce emissions by 15 percent,” she said. However, the law does not provide guidance on how to proceed with such reductions nor does it contain an enforcement mechanism.

The consultants chose emissions from 2005 as the base year. Most of the emissions came from transportation — a not-so surprising 70 percent as compared to the second highest sector of emissions, residential, which came in at 15 percent.

Two stakeholder meetings were held in 2009. “It proved to be very beneficial and everyone listened to what everyone else had to say,” Langager said of the meetings.

City departments were also asked to participate in the review of the plan and ensure accuracy of the various components as they relate to the ability of each department to meet the plan’s goals.

“It’s an emerging document that means different things to different people,” Rosenberg said.

“Everything in this plan is good for the city, not just reducing emissions,” Rosenberg said. She said the plan’s strategies to reduce emissions were feasible but needed to be refined over time and make adjustments as needed.

The plan focuses on strategies that are within the city’s control. “This is very much a bottom-up approach,” Rosenberg said.

Specifically, the plan addresses transportation, building, water and municipal strategies.

Center, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The entire second floor of the Pavilion is home to the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, including the Viterbi Family Outpatient Clinic. There are 38 private rooms along with advanced

While the council was supportive of the document as a whole, it expressed concern over the implementation process. “These are all great ideas but going forward with them people have to understand that there will be some degree of discomfort and some cost associated with it,” Bond warned. “It’s going to make a change that touches all of us,” he said.

“I am very concerned when we talk about a reduction in parking,” Councilwoman Maggie Houlihan said, referring to the plan’s call for a strategy to increase alternative transportation by limiting the amount of available parking spaces within the city.

Because she said public transportation in the city is not comprehensive, “it would be short-sighted to cut off summer visitors as well as residents from adequate parking.”

“The next step is to focus on implementation of the plan,” Rosenberg told the council. “This is a framework, a starting place for addressing current and future issues.”

“The general plan will be informed by the CAP,” Langager said.

Deputy Mayor Jerome Stocks said he felt good about the document but was concerned that the city could be exposed to litigation. However, City Attorney Glen Sabine said that under state environmental laws there was no theory of legal action.

Kathleen Lees, a member of the general plan update committee and a Leucadia resident, said the residents have consistently requested a “green” community at the various workshops sponsored by the city.

“As we update our general plan this is our opportunity to do more than the minimum required,” she said.

Russell Levan, another Leucadian, questioned the interdisciplinary aspect of implementing the plan.

“Someone is going to have to be responsible,” Levan said.

He suggested that an environmental coordinator could do the job.

Livia Borak, an attorney at Coast Law Group, said the plan was a good start. “In general we think this is a great step forward,” she said. However, she noted that the transportation and water issues should be more comprehensive within the plan.

Councilwoman Teresa Barth said the plan was a means for the city to control its own destiny in the face of federal and state environmental mandates. “‘He who fails to plan, plans to fail,’” Barth said quoting Winston Churchill.

Principal Rick Ayala spoke to the Encinitas Optimist Club last month about the challenges that the high-risk students at Sunset High School and North Coast High School face.

Medicare may help pay for the higher premium. Is it an appropriate solution for Medicare to put taxpayers’ money towards Wellcare’s benefit?

If Medicare allows plans to raise the price during the year, Medicare recipients should be allowed to change the plan without having to wait until the end of the year.

It was actually the Helen Woodward Animal Center that came up with idea of an annual Surf Dog Surfathon in 2006. Since then they’ve seen a spike in interest in the sport.

“Our first year, 25 surfing dogs registered,” Spokesman John Van Zante said. “In 2010 we actually had to cut off registration at

Cap’n Keno’s donated the pancakes and sausage for the event.

The reason is obvious.

An enormously wealthy pharmaceutical lobby obstructs our government from enforcing fair prices.

Wellcare appears to exercise power over Medicare. We expect a government agency to be for the people whose taxes pay for the program, not for the corporations who reap hefty benefits from the agency.

Superior Court Judge K. Michael Kirkman the red mark on her right arm, which was about four-and-a-half inches from her elbow where the bullet went through.

The 8-year-old child showed the judge her scar, also, which had required a cast for the entry and exit bullet wounds on her arm.

She said that during her lunch recess she saw the gunman and heard loud noises, like an earthquake.

“I saw a man who was holding a gun and he was shooting at my school,” she said.

Then she said her arm “felt kind of weird and squiggly.”

At O’Rourke’s arraignment last year, the prosecutor said he had carried a .357 Ruger six-shot revolver, a gas can and extra ammunition.

He is charged with seven counts of premeditated attempted murder and seven counts of assault with a firearm, and faces 103 years to life in prison, if convicted.

He pleaded not guilty.

During the daylong hearing March 7, O’Rourke rarely looked up as he sat in the courtroom filled with people and news cameras.

Both girls recovered from their injuries — which for the younger girl included temporary nerve damage — but a doctor from Rady Children’s Hospital who treated them said in court that the wounds could have been mortal because of their location to the elbow joint.

Fortunately, the bullets had not hit an artery, Dr. Nirav Pandya said.

“I used to draw really well,get dressed on my own,” said the 8-year-old to Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan about some of the things she used do be able to do before the cast was put on.

For at least several weeks, taking martial arts classes, playing soccer and taking a bath on her own were also some things she couldn’t do while her arm healed.

Other witnesses testified after the young girls told their personal stories of being shot by a school gunman while they were outside playing with friends on Oct. 8, 2010.

Several Good Samaritans who had been working at the school on the day of the shooting are also expected to tell their stories of how they tackled the suspect and held him down until police arrived.

The judge determined there was sufficient evidence presented during the twoday preliminary exam for O’Rourke to stand trial on all 14 charges against him, Stephan said.

His next court date is set for Aug. 26.

“It’s a miracle that two girls were shot with a 357 Ruger and spent one night in the hospital and were able to testify,” she said.

Aside from the testimony given by many witnesses, Stephan said the court was shown weaponry as well, including a number of cartridges and casings.

With dwindling space, escalating costs and changing attitudes, the death-care industry (that’s what it’s called, Keister said) has gone through some recent changes.

“When cremation came along,” he noted, “cemeteries were really worried; there goes the revenue. But cremation niches have breathed life back into cemeteries.”

On the other hand …

“We boomers all think we’re so unique,” added Keister, 62, “so there has been resurgence of markers, especially with this laser carving.

That’s made for a renaissance

in cemetery art.”

As for the author/photographer’s plans for the inevitable?

“If I got cremated, I’d like to be in a cemetery with celebrities so maybe someone would come and visit me, even if accidentally.”

Calcium: Feed Your Bones for Less Than $1 Per Serving

— Nonfat dry milk powder (17 cents per reconstituted cup; $5.99 per 26-ounce container): This is just milk that’s had the water removed, so it equals the calcium and protein of regular milk for about 10 cents less a serving. Stir spoonfuls of milk powder into casseroles and mashed potatoes.

— Plain yogurt (70 cents

per serving; $8.39 per case of 12): This quick and handy way to get calcium is also brimming with protein and good bacteria that aid digestion. For flavored yogurt at a fraction of the calories, stir in vanilla extract or an all-fruit spread. Yogurt also makes an excellent swap for cream in soups and desserts or sour cream on potatoes.

Fiber: stay regular for less than 50 cents a serving — Quinoa (50 cents per serving; $3.99 per 12-ounce package): Quick-cooking quinoa has almost 50 percent more fiber than brown rice, plus a dose of protein. Simmer with milk and honey for a comforting hot breakfast, or use in place of rice.

— Popcorn (12 cents per serving; $1.89 per 28-ounce bag): Popcorn eaters get about 22 percent more fiber than nonpopcorn eaters. Don’t pile on calories with butter: spritz airpopped corn with cooking spray and toss with chili powder or oregano.

Protein: fuel up for as little as 18 cents — Dried black beans (24 cents per serving; $1.45 for 16ounce bag): All beans are stellar sources of protein, fiber, and blood-pressure-friendly potassium, but dark beans pack more nutrients. For a more healthful

taco filling, use less lean ground beef and mix in mashed-up beans.

— Peanuts in the shell (12 cents per serving; $1.99 for 16 ounces): They’re a cheap protein fix,and they shell out more than 30 essential nutrients, including a phytochemical linked to a reduction in heart disease and cancer risk. Coat fish fillets with finely chopped nuts before baking, or keep some in your office or car for a terrific pick-me-up.

Omega-3s: heart-healthy bargains — Frozen shrimp ($1.36; $14.99 per 2-pound bag): Frozen shrimp is a low-calorie and relatively cheap source of omega-3s. Saute shrimp with garlic and finely diced sundried tomatoes and serve on salad greens.

— Flaxseed (11 cents per serving; $1.79 per 16-ounce bag): This mighty seed has omega-3s and other fatty acids linked to immune-system strength, cardiovascular health, and cancer prevention. Whole flaxseeds pass through the body undigested, so grind them in the coffee grinder, then mix with spices to sprinkle on beans, grains and salads.

How do you think folks feel about an insurance company canceling someone who just found out they have cancer because they forgot to list one medication they took

“People don’t realize the value of what they have, so I’d buy them and run,” Grosshart said, adding that she’d tell sellers not to worry about carefully wrapping the plates because she was only going to take them home and break them.

“They were flabbergasted and would say, ‘What?’”

Grosshart’s creative process begins by “obsessing and visualizing” about a particular plate, silver platter or piece of furniture.

When she’s ready to create, she retreats to a tiny cottage her husband, Joe Grosshart, built in the backyard that serves as her studio.

After inserting a disc of the HBO series “Six Feet Under” into a DVD player, she puts on her goggles, picks up her tile cutters and nippers and goes to work.The most difficult part of her process is compensating for the varying thicknesses of china, which she does by using adhesive or stained glass to build up the height beneath the china until the top surfaces are even. It helps if the silver platter or table has a lip

that can serve as an outside border.

Instead of working on consignment, Grosshart asks for a flat amount and leaves it up to the merchant to establish a retail price. She began developing confidence in her art when she found that retailers were commanding much higher prices for her art than she expected.

In time, Grosshart began expanding her offerings to include a “favorite things” line of mosaics inspired by small specialty tiles she found on eBay of her mother’s “favorite things” including a can of tomato soup, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, photo of Elvis and a miniature poster of “Gone with the Wind.”

It was also on eBay that she found used silverware that she flattens at home with a towel, rubber mallet and vice and incorporates into a mosaic table such as one of four place settings currently on display at the Carlsbad Danish Bakery.

The bakery has also commissioned her to create a mosaic table of a wedding cake design, which she’ll decorate with shards, jewelry and keepsakes.

“I love it when there is a story and it means something,” she said.

Cathy Patrick of Encinitas has become a friend and collector of Grosshart’s art.

“I met Heidi at an open house several years ago and went to her home where I saw her work,” Patrick remembers.

“Her art is very sweet and peaceful. She destroys something, then creates something beautiful out of it.”

Several years ago, in a contemplative moment, Grosshart asked her husband what he was going to do when they retired.

“He said, ‘I don’t know … what are you going to do?’ I said, ‘Break plates.’”

theme was cut loose and burst through expectations with new ways to learn about this grape with a strong European influence.

This “used-to-be” jug wine with boyish fruit and high alcohol has its roots in such far away places as Campania, Italy, where it is known as Primitivo, with traces of this varietal verified across the Adriatic, in Croatia.

Cuttings were brought to California in the 1820s from Austrian sources who gave it the Germanic name.

It grew vigorously and later in the 1900s became popular as a blush wine, White Zinfandel. Old vines were preserved for their lengthy production.

Joel Peterson, founder and winemaker for Ravenswood since its beginnings in 1976, is also one of the founders of ZAP. He is also a member of the 2011 Vintners Hall of Fame as the Zinfandel Pioneer who held the varietal together and changed its perception to that of a premier, premium wine.

Joel works with more than 100-plus growers that provide grapes for Ravenswood, which offers a huge variety and range of Zins, from the Vintners Blend Zin, seen in most supermarkets, to select vineyard premiums from Napa Valley, Sonoma and Lodi ($35). Visit www.ravenswood.com for more information.

Other Zin favorites at the festival included BR Cohn Sonoma Valley ($28), Bogle Old Vine Zin from Lodi ($11), V Sattui Winery Napa Valley makes 12 different styles of Zin ($36), Seghesio Family Wineries has won worldwide awards for its six collections of estate Zins ($36), Pedroncelli in Sonoma has scored well with its Mother Clone Old Vine and Dry Rose’ of Zin ($15), and a newcomer, Wine Guerrilla of Sonoma, is worth a try ($30).

Multitasking: While this isn’t a cleaning idea, it’s good to know. You can let your bread dough rise in your dishwasher. This is helpful if you do a lot of bread making in the winter, when your kitchen is colder. Use your dishwasher’s plate-warming feature or heat dry cycle for a few minutes, then turn it off and place your dough inside to rise.

Private School Education Community, Commute, and Cost

by Elizabeth S. Braymen When families select a private school for their children, they are not only looking for a great education, they are also seeking a community that supports their family's values. Neither religion, nor socio-economic status, or school size are factors that guarantee a healthy environment for a student. The health of a school community generally hinges upon the relationships between the students, parents, and staff. How do these people communicate?

Do the students all seem to be grateful to be there? Is this a place where each member's participation is valued and provides opportunities for change and growth? What values does the community celebrate through common rituals?

Stakeholders who are happy and fulfilled in their roles, and who feel connected, create a positively charged environment in which students will thrive.

School location, as it relates to parents' homes and work, can have a sig-

nificant impact on family life. Practice the commute to and from the school. Explore whether the school provides transportation, or helps parents organize carpools.

Consider the logistics of participating in social events. Keep in mind that not all school friends will be living in the same neighborhood.

Families may find themselves driving across the county for events on weekends or after school hours.

The cost of private school education in San Diego County varies depending on grade level, size of school, and outside funding. Parents should inquire about the financial structuring of a school and how their money will be applied.

Actual school costs will typically be greater than the stated tuition when you calculate the cost of books, uniforms, and field trips. There is also the expectation that families will participate in fundraising or volunteer work. Traditionally, financial aid is available,

based on need and/or a student's academic performance. Most schools have payment plan options.

Be sure to understand what each school's refund policy is in the event of an unforeseen need for withdrawal.

Committing to a private school education is a big decision and we hope that these series of articles have demystified the admissions process and have outlined all the considerations. Please email The Grauer School Admissions Office at a d m i s s i o n s @ g ra u e r school.com for copies of this article and previous publications by this author about private school admission.

Coach Berry’s Studio

DARE TO BE FIT

The 8 most troubling obstacles to your health and fitness commitment: #7 Obstacle: Not understanding how your body works You have probably been conditioned to think that exercise has to be an intense, heartpounding, exhausting experience for it to count. That no-pain-nogain thinking has changed.

You will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to fit exercise into your day, particularly when you see how you can make daily improvements.

Your biggest "AHA" moment will come

when I tell you about nutrition. Making very simple adjustments to your diet will have a tremendous, metabolismaccelerating effect.

Knowing how your body metabolizes fuel changes everything for you. #8 Obstacle: Not 'spicing it up' with variety When you see the range of exercises you can do, how simple, fun and engaging they can be, and how quickly they can bring about results, you will under-

stand that variety IS the spice of life. The same goes for your nutrition.

We'll show you how to eat almost everything you love (overly restrictive diets do NOT work), and still get the results you want.

There is a very profound 'secret' to supportive nutrition that you need to know - and I am happy to share it with you!

That's why they developed The Kaplan Commitment. It's one of the many ways Kaplan College puts students first.

The Kaplan Commitment is an opportunity for students to experience a real class, for real credits, for an introductory period before paying a penny of tuition.* It allows students to begin their program

while evaluating it.

Therefore, if they see that it is the right fit, they are already on their way to completing their education.

If it turns out the time or program isn't right for them, they can withdraw during the introductory course at no additional cost beyond their initial $45 enrollment fee.

That's The Kaplan Commitment. Come see for yourself why Kaplan College is willing to put their money where their

mouth is.

So how about oak roasting asparagus then topping it with shaved romano, prosciutto, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar? That’s how they prepare one of my favorite vegetables and it’s as good as I’ve had it.

Perkowski has a 1.8 percent mortality rate, which is more than two times below the national average. The median age of his beating heart patient is 71 years, which is seven years older

TAPS mentors families of fallen

Skilled marksmen face off

By Lance Cpl. Damien Gutierrez

By Lance Cpl. John Robbart III

CAMP PENDLETON — Losing a loved one can result in losing the sense of belonging that comes with being a part of the military community. Camp Pendleton welcomed the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors to put those in touch with others who have gone through a similar loss to reestablish that bond.

More than 150 base residents attended the TAPS’ fifth annual seminar, which provided support for every age group, March 5.

“TAPS is an organization designed to help families of fallen heroes cope with their loss,” said Tina Saari, regional director,TAPS. The event included different classes and arts and crafts for the younger audience.

“A lot of people might not know others who have lost someone,” Saari said. “TAPS helps connect them so they can relate to each other and talk about what they’re going through.”

The event was open to family members of any service; not just Marines. Major Gen. Michael R. Regner, commanding general,1st Marine Division, also attended the event as a guest speaker.

“Fallen warriors aren’t forgotten,”Regner said.“The hardest thing I have ever had to do is to write to families of the fallen.”

Mentors, who are most often Camp Pendleton Marines and sailors, of the TAPS program have previously dealt with a loss in their life and often find inspiration in those they mentor.

“My first volunteer event was mentoring kids who had lost a loved one in the military,” said Capt.William Frazier, operations officer, G-4, 1st Marine Logistics Group. “I was amazed to see how little kids adapted to the situation of losing someone.

TAPS really helps them adjust and teaches them how to deal with the grief and the loss,” added Frazier, who lost his brother to a motorcycle accident in 2006.

The program is also ideal for Marines who are looking to volunteer in their community.

“This was a great opportunity to work with kids and families who have lost a family member,” said Lance Cpl. Jennifer M. Masters, a volunteer mentor with 1st Marine Division. “We become the military family for them.”

Marines practice beach landing

By Sgt. Marcy Sanchez

CAMP PENDLETON — The tip of the spear, America’s expeditionary force in readiness, the first to fight; Marines go by all these names.

Marines and sailors maintain this reputation through exercises like Pacific Horizon 11, a crisis response and maritime prepositioning force exercise that is taking place in the Pacific Ocean off the Camp Pendleton coast through March 14.

Sixteen maritime prepositioning ships, which are deployed in the Western Pacific, Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea, are configured to carry nearly everything the Marine Corps would need to initiate a wide range of military operations. These ships can conduct offload and at-sea transfer of personnel

and equipment from the ships to aircraft or amphibious vehicles capable of ship-to-shore movement.

During a recent teleconference with reporters, Maj. Gen. Melvin G. Spiese, deputy commanding general of I Marine Expeditionary Force and commanding general of I Marine Expeditionary Brigade said “Sailors and Marines link up with these assets at sea to respond with speed and effectiveness in supporting our nation’s strategic interests.”

One of the MPS’s, the USNS Sgt. William R. Button, a container and roll-on/roll-off ship, along with the USS Dubuque (LPD 8), an Austinclass amphibious transport dock, were involved in this year’s exercise. The exercise simulated ship-to-shore deliv-

ery to conduct humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and security operations in the fictional country of Diego, which experienced a Category 5 hurricane.

Pacific Horizon is supposed to hone Marines and sailors’ expeditionary capabilities, said Capt. Drew W. Harris, liaison officer for 7th Marines and the commander of troops on the USS Dubuque (LPD 8).

Day two of the exercise included Marines with Bravo Company, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion and Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, performing an amphibious landing on Camp Pendleton’s Red Beach. Both units are part of 1st Marine Division, I MEF. The Marines splashed off the USS Dubuque in amphibi-

ous assault vehicles and landed ashore to establish security on the beach.

“Our purpose traditionally has been that force in readiness that takes a hostile beachfront, lands our forces and pushes logistics and all those elements ashore to projectile forward,” said Harris, from Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich.

Even though the beachfront was not hostile in the exercise, the Marines secured it and pushed forward to a simulated village where they provided humanitarian assistance to the local population.

The platoon’s objective was to set up security for a town and interact with the population to find out what they need, said Cpl. Milan N. Franklin, a squad leader with 3/7.

Translator connects two worlds

By Cpl. Salvador R. Moreno

CAMP PENDLETON — When training between militaries of two of the world’s major industrial nations commenced in February, so too came the need for interpreters, as one lance corporal found out.

Language barriers are common during training between two countries, and in the case of Iron Fist, the annual exercise to enhance amphibious capabilities and increase interoperability between the U.S. and Japan, Lance Cpl. Westley Contrata was the solution.

Contrata was born to Honami and Walter Contrata in the suburbs of Illinois.

At a year old, he and his family moved to Kyoto, Japan, where spent 13 years knowing a small amount of English and little of America. At 14,

he and his family moved back to the U.S. where Contrata, speaking only Japanese, found himself in an Englishspeaking country.

“I learned Japanese first, so when I moved to the states knowing almost no English, it was tough,” said Contrata.

He overcame, and in 2008, he graduated from Westlake High School in Westlake Village. Shortly after, he decided to become a Marine.

“I joined because I wanted to travel the world,” said Contrata.

After graduating boot camp in the fall of 2008 and completing his occupational specialty school in April 2009, he was assigned to I Marine Expeditionary Force, Camp Pendleton, to serve as a motor transport operator. As a lance corporal, Contrata did what

most other motor transport operators do day in and day out: He drove.

Interpreting as a Marine never crossed his mind, he said.

“The MEF looked up my service record from my defense language proficiency and pulled me for the exercise,” he said.

The DLP is a language aptitude examination which determines fluency in other languages. He was able to help 180 Japanese soldiers connect with the Marines of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

“I think it’s a great opportunity,” said Contrata.

“I’m enjoying it. I don’t really get a chance to use my Japanese outside of what I’m doing right now.”

Some of the military terminology can be difficult to

translate for the Japanese, but with Contrata being fluent in both languages, the process is easy, said 2nd Lt. Saito Shiotomai, a Japanese interpreter serving with the Western Army Infantry Regiment, Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force.

“I envy him because I am an interpreter too, but my English skills are raw,” Shiotomai said.

The Japanese soldiers participating in the exercise have less than 20 interpreters, so any help is greatly appreciated, according to Contrata.

Smoothing the learning process for all involved in the exercise, Contrata may just be doing his job as a Marine, but to the Japanese, his translation has been the difference between going home more knowledgeable or just going home.

CAMP PENDLETON — Camp Pendleton will host more than 200 Marines to compete in the 2011 Western Division Matches through March 18.

The top ten percent of the shooters will receive the chance to compete in the 2011 Marine Corps Matches in April.

The Marine Corps also hosts other division matches to ensure that every Marine, regardless of duty station,has an opportunity to participate in the Marine Corps Matches.

The other matches are the Eastern Division held in North Carolina, the Pacific Division in Hawaii and Far Eastern Division in Japan.

According to the 2011 Western Division Matches guidelines, the Competition in Arms program provides the Marine Corps with the skilled and experienced marksmen necessary to support a productive marksmanship training program and success in battle. The goal of the program is to enhance marksmanship proficiency within the Marine Corps by refining precision marksmanship skills through advanced training and competition.

“I competed in the Far Eastern Division Matches and I can confidently say it’s the most fun I’ve had on the range,” said Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Stephens, the coach for the Marine Corps Rifle Team. “I encourage all to come out and support the Marines shooting in the competition because the support of a fellow Marine or family member goes a long way.”

During the competition, Marines who were selectively picked by their command will fire both rifles and pistols at the individual and team levels.The rifle portion of the event requires Marines to shoot from 200, 300 and 500 yards in various shooting positions; and the pistol portion requires Marines to only use one firing arm as they shoot from the distance of 20 yards with a M9 pistol.

Matches began March 14 at Wilcox Range and will encompass both individual and team rifle and pistol competitions. Awards for the event were given out to the top individuals and bestranked team March 18 at the base’s Mainside theatre.

“This competition directly enhances a unit’s readiness for battle and its posture during its time overseas,” Stephens said. “This is definitely the right place for those Marines who are honing in on the marksmanship training.”

The horns must sound when the train is 1,300 feet from the crossing. Engineers will still have the discretion to use their train horns, especially if they see pedestrians in the crossing.

The system is expected to reduce the amount of noise, its level and how far and long it resonates, especially at night.

some costs are flexible. He said the administrative costs were eliminated after reminders from Hilliard and Filanc that the system would be a first for the county.

Other costs, such as materials and labor are fixed. For example, he said it will cost about $75,000 to tear up and repair streets and sidewalks to install underground equipment.

Rekola said the price could be reduced if the city is willing to absorb the costs for services such as permits and traffic control.

do think you can do most anything, because, well … you already have.

And this, my younger friends, makes me realize that there is extreme pleasure in knowing that I and my generation no longer have to come up with all the answers and solutions. I have tossed that ball right over to those impressive young bucks coming up and, by jiminy, my expectations are high.

Remember, short stuff.

My generation went to the moon.Oh,yeah.And we did it with nothing more than a calculator.That’s right.

Let this all be a lesson to you. If you overachieve and peak early, no one will say, “Oh, that’s lovely. You can quit now.”Oh,no,no,no … we are standing here tapping our foot impatiently, waiting for you to find a way to make even more happen, and without a hitch. I’m talking 4G, a working GPS and Mars, OK? Don’t let me down now, y’hear?

For now, the citizens committee is trying to raise the $363,317. If their efforts fall short, all money will be returned, Hershell Price, the committee chairman, said.

“No money will be at risk,” he said.

Rekola said NCTD typically requires a 100 percent deposit but he expects the organization will “talk with the city to move the process along.”

He said he was a beach volleyball photographer, worked as a courier and also helped with Francine Busby’s 2006 political campaign for congress in the 50th District.

But forensic computer analyst Mark Luque testified that time-zone stamped chats were physically found on Douglas’ computer, that matched up with chats from an undercover agent who was performing a child porn investigation and pretending to be a 13-year-old girl.

Luque said that a 64page Internet history report showed many searches relating to pedophilia in the file path of Douglas’ computer, and that it showed that he also belonged to between 35 and 50 interest groups on the topic.

There were also images contained in a “my documents” folder on his computer, Luque said.

He said that certain software had been installed on the computer for file sharing and the downloaded files were explicitly set to be sent to “my downloads.”

“The focus on the application was for file sharing — how can I get that data to me?” Luque said.

The nearly two-week trial closed on March 8, and the jury is in the deliberating stages.

If convicted, Douglas faces up to four years in prison, according to Watanabe.

School launches online auction ENCINITAS — Capri Elementary needs the community’s help. Since January, volunteers have raised close to $90,00 in in-kind donations.

They sent out just 34 letters in the mail and 150 e-mails to past donors and in return received more than 600 items that are available for purchase online.

They managed to exceed their in-kind donation goal by $30,000.While an amazing feat, they have more items to auction than the school’s approxi-

mately 400 families can buy.

Up for auction are amazing deals and opportunities for vacations, memorabilia, camps and lessons for kids and more.

They will ship items at buyer’s expense to anywhere in the United States. Money raised will fund Capri’s music and science teachers’ salaries, support their arts programs and help fund the YMCA’s Playground Partners, a program designed to facilitate a better playground experience

for kids through organized play.

The auction launched March 19 and will run until 10 p.m. on March 17 at biddingforgood.com/capri.

Tax deduction is made possible by Encinitas Educational Foundation, or EEF. EEF is nonprofit that promotes and supports the children of the Encinitas Union School District.

Conrique also said the board has no control over scheduling and field conditions.

“Scheduling is always an issue with the U-16s or U-19s,” she said. “At that age, the kids are driving or have jobs and other commitments so sometimes only four players show up for a game. At that level, communication is up to the coaches.”

Conrique said every team has an opportunity for home games but field selection is random, based on the number of teams.When scheduling where

games are played “no consideration is given to where a team is based,” she said.

Despite the departure of most of its board members, La Costa AYSO is still intact. The organization, which served approximately 1,400 athletes in 2010, is currently signing up players for its 2011 season.

“Registration is going well, but families are definitely confused,”said Patricia Wallace,La Costa AYSO regional commissioner. “We have not left and we’re not leaving.”

The DIYer’s best tool: good credit (ARA) — Handy tool belt, equipped with all the essentials? Check. A vision of what the end result will look like? Check. A sense of adventure and determination? Check. Sounds like you’re ready to tackle your do-it-yourself project. Or are you? There’s one more tool you need to have a handle on before you begin — your credit.

Whether your DIY project is constructing a kit car, building a shed or replacing your kitchen counters, you should check your credit score before you get started, since it’s likely you’ll use credit or even a credit card to pay for your project materials and supplies. Every time you use credit, it can affect your credit score — which in turn influences your ability to get more credit.

Consider these five reasons why your credit is the first tool you’ll need to get your DIY project started: 1. When financing a home improvement project, credit makes sense for several reasons. First, because you’re using the credit to pay for something that will, in theory, increase your home’s value and your enjoyment of it; it’s an investment with foreseeable returns. Second, the cost of home improvement materials may be more than you are willing or able to pay out at one time. Credit allows you to manage the cost over a period of time that’s comfortable for you.

2. If you’ll be buying a lot of high-cost materials, the store you purchase from might offer you a store card with a seemingly enticing discount or reward for opening the account. If you know your credit score before you buy, you’ll be better able to assess if the store card’s interest rate and incentive is really competitive with the credit terms you already have on existing cards or could get from a financial institution.

3. A good credit score can help you qualify for better interest rates and lower monthly payments on loans.

But your credit score can change and if you don’t check your credit report or monitor your credit, you might not know about changes right away. Before you commit to what kind of credit you’ll use for your DIY project, check your credit score. Websites like freecreditscore.com allow you to access your credit score when you enroll in credit monitoring.

Monitoring your credit allows you to see how changes in your credit report can affect your score.

You’ll also receive credit score alerts whenever your score changes.

4. Your credit could influence the scope of your project. When you check your score and find it higher TURN TO CREDIT ON B27

What you should know before buying a 3-D TV (ARA) — Everyone, it seems, is eager for 3-D. It’s a fad that’s had its heyday more than once in pop culture, but this time all signs point to 3-D finding staying power in American theaters and homes.

If you have any doubt that 3-D is hot, consider the fact that more than 100 movies — from children’s animated films to big-budget sci-fi offerings — were released in 3-D in theaters and on DVD in 2009 and 2010. And weigh the fact that nearly every major TV-maker has at least one 3-D set on the market.

In fact, manufacturers are banking that Americans will embrace 3-D in their home viewing experience just as they did flat screens, high definition and Internet access. A 3-D TV may well be the high-tech investment your family opts for in 2011, but before you buy, here are a few things you should know — and consider — about 3-D television:

Cost considerations

As with any new technology, 3-D TVs appeared on the market at higher prices than what you would pay for a comparable quality 2-D high definition set. While you could easily find large flatscreens for $1,000 or less in 2010, most 3-D units sold for upward of $2,000. Prices are coming down, however, and industry watchers predict

Cast-iron comeback: Time-honored fixture material gets modern design

McAllister

(ARA) — A skillet hidden away in a cabinet, or some other small piece of cookware — that’s about all the cast iron you’ll find in most modern homes. In the early 1900s, iron was a material of choice not just for cookware, but for many other essential items throughout the house: A skillet on the stovetop, sinks and bathtubs, and fences that decorated and defined the front yard.

Even some buildings were made of iron. But as lighter, rust-resistant materials became available, iron fell by the wayside as a material in homes.

Fast forward to today, and a new generation of design-savvy homeowners is rediscovering the beauty, durability and usefulness of cast iron in kitchens and bathrooms. A handful of enterprising manufacturers are reinventing the look, design and appeal of cast iron.

If the concept of cast iron in kitchen and bath fixtures is new to you, consider the material’s advantages: • Durable. Enameled cast iron is especially durable, combining the longevity and dent-resistance of cast iron with the rust-proof beauty of enamel.

• Customizable. Cast-iron sinks and bathtubs add instant elegance to a space.

And with more than 20 colors to choose from, it’s easy to create a customized look to reflect personal style.

• Eco-friendly. Some castiron products, like those made by bath design pioneer Kohler, have a “green” side.

Kohler manufactures its cast iron from 83 percent recycled materials.

These three cast-iron fixtures have regained popularity — and reclaimed cast iron’s reputation as a material of TURN TO CAST-IRON ON B26

Quality tree service — but only if you need it COAST CITIES — They are the some of the largest living things on the planet and they’re always changing. They also make up 15 percent of your property value. What are they? Trees.

The above facts are courtesy of Brian Bishop, owner of Bishop’s Tree Service. Bishop says his business was borne out of a lifelong love of trees, and the quality of service he offers can attest to that.

“When I was a little kid, I thought Paul Bunyon and his ox was the coolest thing ever,” he said. “I wanted to cut trees.

When I was 16 I just started cutting trees on my own.

Around 1994 I became a certified arborist.” The rest is history.

to hearing the phrase,“The customer is always right.” Bishop doesn’t necessarily subscribe to that theory. “When we do estimates, I ask questions.The customer isn’t always right. I give the most inexpensive alternative for long-term management.”

Bishop’s pride in his work and his knowledge come from his years of experience and also his role as president of the Professional Tree Care Association of San Diego, or PTCA.“The mission of PTCA is education,” he said. “Basically the reason I agreed to be president is because I believe in education.”

Bishop also believes in giving back. “We donate work to San Diego Botanic Garden on a

regular basis. I believe in giving something back to the community where we can.”

In a community that prides itself on its trees, Bishop’s Tree Service stands out. “The difference between me and a lot of people out there is that out of our nine employees, five are certified arborists.

You won’t find that ratio anywhere.” What this means for customers is that you get a certified arborist in your tree. “It takes about 20 minutes to screw up a tree forever.” Bishop stresses the importance of getting the job done right and getting it done right the first time.

It’s not about up-selling. “I will tell someone, ‘You don’t need me. The tree’s fine. Come back to me in two years,’” he said.

Green house next to greenhouses ENCINITAS — With all the talk in recent years about living green, how many of us actually do? Local couple William “Bill” Allen and Lyn Allen made the commitment to truly walk the walk with the house they built on Hymettus Avenue in Leucadia in 2000.

A slew of improvements to the house inside and out transformed it into a water- and energy-saving paradise in one of the most desired areas in North County, proving that going green doesn’t need to mean sacrificing style. In fact, the 4,000-square-foot house is so desirable that when it was listed recently with Tyson Lund of The Lund Team, it was in escrow in record time due to the great interest for the green

improvements.

It is a craftsman-style home, built in the vintage style of the 1920s and 1930s.

The grass is always green at this house. The Allens installed a high-quality synthetic grass in both the front and rear yard that is both aesthetically pleasing and reduces monthly maintenance and water usage. Almost the entire yard is synthetic grass requiring virtually no water consumption.

Also of note outside are the solar panels, which come with an inverter that will take excess power and sell it back to SDG&E. The Allens received money back from SDG&E in 2010.They are actually making money on their

energy bill.

According to Lund, a high number of interested parties saw these systems as a bonus.

Several of the buyers were downsizing from Olivenhain, where having one to two acres of property can have water and maintenance expenses of several thousand dollars monthly.

With little to no electricity bills, low water bills and no mello roos, other than property taxes, monthly expenses on the property are minimal.

Other green features in the home include a 70-gallon grey water system, which takes water from the showers and bathroom sinks to reuse for irrigation. There is also a hot TURN TO GREEN HOUSE ON B23

Allergy sufferers also beset with bad info (ARA) — Knowing fact from fiction can make the difference between misery and relief for millions of spring allergy sufferers.

“People often sneeze and wheeze through spring if they use misinformation to manage their condition,” says allergist Dr. Myron Zitt, past president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “But no one should suffer from spring allergies.

Knowing the facts, getting a proper diagnosis and the right treatment allows allergy patients to feel good all season long.”

The ACAAI — whose

allergist members specialize in treating allergies and asthma — dispels several common spring allergy myths.

Myth: Over-the-counter (OTC, or nonprescription) oral antihistamines are just as effective as prescription medicines in controlling a stuffy nose.

Fact: OTC antihistamines can help control some allergy symptoms, but they have little effect on relieving a stuffy nose or the inflammation that often occurs with allergies. They also can cause TURN TO ALLERGY ON B20

Houseplants growing as a hip new niche (ARA) — Great as a gift or home decor, indoor plants are making a comeback as the coolest new trend in gardening. Cultivate, collect and even clean interior air with

them.

Six smart ways to feature indoor plants for fabulous effects: 1. Great gifts: Give the gift of green with an indoor

plant.

With spring holidays right around the corner, this year skip a short-lived, purchased bouquet and give a gift that will continue to blos-

som well beyond the special occasion. It is easy to find beautiful indoor plants with eye-catching blooms like anthurium, bromeliads, amaryllis and hibiscus. For an

inspired idea, give a living topiary shaped like a heart, or a beautiful living orchid — which can bloom for several months — instead of a mundane marketplace arrangement. Plants also make great hostess gifts, housewarming presents and get-well tokens.

Give the gift of green and share a live plant with someone this holiday.

2. Terrariums: Create your own miniature garden.

Invented in Victorian England and popularized in

the 1970s for their “kitschy” appeal, terrariums are fun micro-climates that can be both decorative and entertaining for kids and adults.

Terrariums are generally enclosed in glass and can be planted inside anything, from brandy snifters and fish bowls, to large, upscale stained glass containers.

Swim spas bring safety and comfort to fitness

VISTA — An ache here, needed strength there, various joint problems and the importance of stretching are common to both the amateur athlete and the now-aging baby boomers. But too often, the high-impact training or required exercise can actually compound the problem. Aquatic Fitness Concepts, with their showroom in Vista, has the solution with their innovative swim spas called Aquatic Fitness Systems. Doctors, in fact, have begun prescribing their lap-pool style spas for their patients who need to exercise but are struggling with traditional land based programs.

Californians are especially tuned in to healthy, successful aging. Aquatic workouts are well-known to be highly effective yet far less stressful on your body than any other type of exercise. And who wouldn’t prefer a low-impact workout in warm water where you can choose to swim, do circuit-training exercise, jog, stretch or row? Aquatic Fitness Systems are designed to perform like an underwater gym, and can be easily custom-tuned to emphasize trouble spots or give a full-body aquatic workout.

The true luxury is that this can all be available in the convenience of your own backyard. Besides the time required traveling to use a public pool for laps or exercise, too often they are cold, crowded, loaded with chlorine and have limited schedules for use.

With your own Aquatic Fitness System, you can use it anytime you want and can control exactly what temperature you want it to be. And because it has its own built in water purifier, very little chlorine is needed. Aquatic Fitness Concepts will help in finding the best program for your personal needs. The company goes the extra mile, offering customers trained aquatic fitness instructors who will recommend a complete training program for your Aquatic Fitness System.

There are several different models available, all featuring swim lanes, hydro chairs and soothing jets. They range from 16feet to 19 feet long. The 7.5–foot-wide and 52- to 62inch-deep ovals can be installed both indoors or out, in or above-ground.

5 trends to make your home truly yours (ARA) — If you’re looking to purchase or remodel a home, you likely are building a long list of “must-haves,” “must-dos” and “mustincludes” for your new space.

There’s no question the housing market is in a different place than it was as recently as five years ago. Of course, a tough economy has been the prevailing factor, but other things — an aging population and a tough job market — are influencing how people are living today and possibly into the future. If you’re like most home seekers and remodelers, you may find that your requirements fall in line with these five growing trends.

Bigger isn’t always better: As interest grows in living more efficiently, people are building smaller homes. In fact, new homes are now 7 percent smaller than they were the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Just my style: Homeowners are aiming to make their home fit their personal visions of the best investment on the dollar, and 20 percent of new homes are currently custom-built, according to the American Institute of Architects. This trend to customize is in part made possible by the parallel trend to build a smaller home.

Smaller spaces free up dollars to put toward the products that fill it. Color, decor and products that help make a home feel one-of-a-kind ver-

sus one-of-many are becoming king.

M u l t i g e n e ra t i o n a l : Homeowners also are seeking spaces that accommodate residents of all ages. One-third of baby boomers report they have adult children still living at home or likely moving back home at some point, and 8 percent of Americans report

their parents already live with them or will in the future, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With more people living under one roof — some possibly in diminishing health — you may be among the homeowners seeking products that will help ensure a healthier, cleaner environment. This may range from a

programmable thermostat to help you bring comfortable temps to all ages, to an air filter to help keep germs and airborne particles at bay.

In for the long haul: As life expectancy increases, Americans are building homes that will allow them to “age in place.” Smart technology and system installations that will address future sight, hearing and dexterity-related limitations are becoming increasingly popular as a result.

Energy-efficient: As homeowner concerns about energy costs continue to mount, so too does their attention to home design and products that will help lower their energy bills and decrease their carbon footprint. As a result, homeowners are showing increased attention to factors such as insulation and window quality.

In the end, there are many products and services on the market to help meet these homeowner needs, but there’s one you may have not considered, tucked away in your basement. It’s your home heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, and it actually plays a role in meeting each of these growing homeowner trends.

Your home office can be comfortable and functional (ARA) — When you start a home business, you will probably set aside one room or area of your house to be your office.

This is the place where you’ll handle general business, customer relations, shipping and delivery of products and services, payroll and many other details that pertain to your company.

Of course, this room is also in your house, so you want to make sure it looks good in case you have customers stop by, or if friends or relatives stay over.

Setting up your office so that it is functional and looks nice is important, but because you’ll be spending a lot of time in there, you should make it comfortable as well.

Here are some tips on how to make your home office functional, yet fun and stylish.

• If you have young children at home, designating your office separate from the rest of your house with a closed door, or a standing partition, can help your children learn that you are “at work” and not to be disturbed unless they have an emergency. If you plan to use your office space for family business as well after work hours are over, consider making a sign indicating you are busy working to hang on the door or partition.

• Your desk probably will be where you spend the majority of time in your home office, which means you need it to match your style perfect-

ly. Your office chair needs to be comfortable, but you also want it to match the decor as well. You can choose a HON Volt or HON Ignition chair, picking from over 30 different fabrics and colors, allowing you to match your decorating scheme and comfort levels.

Visit officedepot.com/custom design to see how a HON chair can enhance your home office space.

• Decorate your office in colors and materials that will help keep you operating efficiently, but also allow you to enjoy the time you spend working. For example, yellow is considered to be a stimulating color, orange encourages creativity and green provides TURN TO OFFICE ON B24

green The master suite: a haven within your home No thumb? No (ARA) — The master bedroom has evolved into far more than a place where you hit the pillow and grab a few hours of sleep each night.

Today, it’s almost a misnomer to call these modern, multifunctional rooms bedrooms.

If you’re looking to renovate, expand or build a new master bedroom, think “master suite” instead. Don’t just create a cozy room meant for sleeping, because in recent years it really has turned into so much more.

The growing trend of making the master suite one of your immediate family’s choice gathering spots stems from a flagging economy and the fact that more people are choosing to enjoy leisure time at home instead of out on the town. And believe it or not, many are choosing to spend it in the master bedroom.

“The master bedroom has increasingly become a restful retreat within your larger home — a place where you can spend the day, if you wish, with all the comforts of a traditional family room,” says Donna Schroeder, color marketing and design manager for Dutch Boy Paints.

“The trend is to combine comfort with convenient amenities in an atmosphere that is peaceful and relaxing.”

to sumptuous hotel suites for your design inspiration.

Plush, comfortable and full of luxuries — big and small — hotel suites offer plenty of ideas you can mimic. You say you like coffee first thing in the morning? Why go down to the kitchen? Install a coffee bar, complete with an espresso maker, coffee grinder and a mini refrigerator to store milk for those extra-foam lattes.

Don’t expect to lounge on the bed with your cappuccino in hand. Reserve space in your design for an ample sitting area where you can put a sofa, comfortable reading chairs and even a state-ofthe-art entertainment system for movie nights and lazy Sundays.

Add a built-in customized entertainment center to house the latest and greatest gadgets for everyone in the house. You’ll want to have room not only for the flat screen HDTV and BluRay player but also the kids’ gaming system, DVR receiver and a nook for Dad’s sound system.You might also want to include shelves for Mom’s prized collection of romantic old movies so she can watch them in the comfort of her bedroom haven.

Perfecting your patio isn’t the work of a lifetime (ARA) — Spring is a time of renewal with flowers and trees blooming, grass greening and warmer temperatures bringing us back to the outdoors. But before you can begin to truly enjoy the fresh air — there are many updates needed to help your patio areas recover from the harsh effects of old man winter.

Luckily, with a few spring spruce-up projects, you can achieve a patio revival in only a weekend that’s simple, yet looks sensational.

Wash away winter

When we think spring — we think cleaning. No matter what type of patio you may have, pressure washing is a simple way to make it shine. It offers instant gratification as layers of dirt, dust and grime are quickly blasted away.

Don’t have a pressure washer? No need to run out and buy one; most rental companies or home improvement centers offer reasonably priced daily rentals. Or it’s an opportunity to visit the neighbors you haven’t seen during the cold months to borrow theirs.

Bring new life to old furniture

Once your patio area is clean, it’s time to bring out the seating. But have your table and chairs seen better days?

The outdoor elements can wreak havoc on patio furniture.

Fortunately, you can easily turn something ready for the trash into a new treasure by updating it with a coat of spray paint.

To start, lightly sand and clean the entire surface. Next, spray the entire piece of furniture with a new, updated paint color.For metal,wood or wicker surfaces, try Krylon’s Outdoor Spaces spray, or for plastic surfaces, try Krylon’s Fusion for Plastic spray paint. Both products are available in a wide selection of popular colors and finishes and offer superior protection to keep your patio furniture looking beautiful for years to come.

Petals and pots with pizzazz

Finally, it’s time to liven up your patio area with beautiful and aromatic flowers. But just as important as choosing the pretty petals, is planting them

in the perfect pot. Terra cotta pots are ideal since they come in a variety of sizes and are inexpensive. For added pizzazz, you can update these planters with a splash of color. You can choose one color for all of your pots or mix it up.This is a great project that allows you to experiment with all of the colors that you love but were hesi-

tant to commit to inside your home. If you change your mind, all you need is a new can of spray paint.

To start, turn each pot upside down on newspaper and spray the pot with your favorite shade of Krylon Outdoor Spaces spray paint. Once dry, you may choose to spray your vibrant pot with a clear,

pearlescent or glitter spray to achieve the dazzling finish you desire.

With just these few simple projects, your patio will be festive and fashionable in just a weekend’s worth of work.

New trend of ‘gardening with purpose’ takes root

(ARA) — Put on your garden gloves and join in the fun because “gardening with a purpose” is taking root.

The purpose may be to grow your own food or create urban sanctuaries, but planting for a greener good is changing neighborhoods and communities — one garden at a time.

According to the

Association of Professional Landscape Designers, homeowners are growing more of their own food — more herbs, vegetables and fruit trees — both in dedicated vegetable gardens and mixed in the garden among flowers and shrubs.

But it’s not just food production that’s driving today’s gardener. As backyard conser-

SOLANA BEACH — Who doesn’t love digging in the dirt, breathing fresh air while harvesting ripe vegetables and fruit? Gardening, though, can be a bit of hassle when it comes to proper planning and execution.

That’s where California Hydroponics & Organics comes in, a brand new garden center located in Solana Beach.

Family owned and operated by native San Diegan James Hill and his cousin Scott Stark, this company puts an emphasis on customer service, a vast product offering and a knowledgeable staff.

Hill’s father is a dentist in Ramona, whose own version of customer service has won him numerous “best business” awards.

“I learned a lot about customer service from my dad,” Hill said. “Customer service is underemphasized these days.

My company is working to fix that.”

How so? For starters, California Hydroponics & Organics offers free one-on-one advice with their qualified employees. In fact, one of their employees has a degree in agriculture.

“You need an expert to answer your gardening questions,” Hill said. “There are a lot of variables involved.”

What sets California Hydroponics & Organics apart from every other gardening center in town is their commitment to being a part of the community.

“We treat people like people, not customers,” Hill said.

“People who garden around here are all so friendly. We’ve already had people stop by showing us pictures of gardens that we helped them get going.”

For those readers who are unsure of what hydroponics is, Hill notes that it is simply the growing of plants with nutrientrich water instead of soil.

Whether your gardening is done hydroponically or traditionally in soil, California Hydroponics & Organics is committed to making self-sustaining gardening a practical part of every home by providing innovative, environmentally friendly and easy to use gardening products.

All of your fireplace questions can be answered COAST CITIES — A fireplace is an absolute essential according to homebuilder statistics. Even here in sunny California, a fireplace is the key component of almost

every living room. A sure way to impress people is to have a home with a fireplace in an unconventional place like the bedroom, the kitchen or the sunroom.

1. What type of fuel are you going to burn? The fuel choices that they offer are wood, gas, electric, pellet and ethanol alcohol.

2. Is your fireplace factory built or a full masonry fireplace? If it is a prefabricated fireplace, go to every length to determine the manufacturer and the model number.The manufacturers’ name and model number are generally on a steel plate that is riveted to the metal box. If you do not have a factory built fireplace then look closely at the masonry unit that you have.

Does it have a masonry base and metal flue or is there a tile lined masonry chimney?

If you have a gas line into your fireplace, what type of gas do you have piped in?

Natural or propane?

3. Does the chimney have a one or two story height?

4.Approximately how old is the fireplace? What fuels have been used in the past,

and when was the chimney last cleaned and swept?

5. Are the brick panels or the firebrick that line the inside of the box in good condition?

6. What are the measurements of the fireplace? You can download a measure sheet at www.fireplacesplus.com.

Fireplaces Plus has been in business for 38 years. They have four certified installation technicians on staff and four trained and four knowledgeable salesmen.

Warm up to an affordably luxurious bathroom no matter the temperature (ARA) — With the advent of summer still several months away, the comfort of a hot bath or invigorating shower continues to be something to look forward to every day.

However, in many ways, the bathroom can be a frigid place on a cold late-winter or early-spring San Diego day.

In fact, it often may feel like the coldest room in the house thanks to all of that impersonal chrome, porcelain and tile.

But, it doesn’t have to be. It’s possible to warm up even the chilliest bathroom, even on the tightest of redecorating budgets.

As you plan your bathroom revamp, start by looking right under your feet.

Many bathroom floors are made from ceramic tile or natural stone, such as mar-

ble. Sure, these hard-surface elements look nice, but they also can feel downright icy on your bare feet, not to mention hard and slippery when wet. With 207 designs in distinctive colors and textures, including authentic-looking tile and stone, Tarkett FiberFloor provides the beauty of natural flooring with enhanced durability.

“Today’s fiber-backed resilient sheet flooring products aren’t your grandmother’s vinyl,” says Gary Finseth, director of marketing for Tarkett Residential. “The latest options, like FiberFloor, a Consumers Digest Best Buy, offer style and durability at a price that doesn’t break the budget. These floors are warm and soft underfoot, and they resist scuffs, scratches, indentations and water. The result is they are perfect for any bath.”

Warmth, however, goes beyond flooring. Fluffy tow-

els, plush bathmats and a sumptuous velvet shower curtain will add a sense of rich warmth to the space.

Wall color also plays a role.

Light and airy colors, while beautiful, definitely do not convey a sense of comfort.

Instead, paint your walls an unexpectedly rich color to create a welcoming, cozy atmosphere.

Bear in mind that warm colors can make a bathroom look smaller, so be sure to use a soft white as an accent to balance out whatever deep tone you select.

For instance, Dutch Boy’s Treaded Grapes offers a splash of color and welcoming personality in a deep, classic purple tone. Paint your bathroom walls with this leading 2011 color trend and offset the statement with Narrative Cream-colored molding and accessories TURN TO BATHROOM ON B21

Beautiful Phalaenopsis Orchids Orchids aren’t the delicate, hard to grow plants some people think they are.They are the largest group of plants in the world, contrary to the notion of them as exotic imports. Correct light is important for proper plant growth.

Yo can usually judge how much light an orchid needs by watching the leaves.

You want the leaves to be a light grass green. Water often enough to keep continuous moisture just below the surface of the medium, but be cautious of over-watering. watering once a week is normally sufficient to keep your plant healthy and happy. Most inhome temperatures will be acceptable for growing orchids. They are comfortable when you are.

Choose and use products with care to make your lawn something to share (ARA) — A lawn is an extension of our living space, a place where we can enjoy outdoor activities with family and friends. When pests invade our yards and threaten our comfort and safety, it’s important to take action to control insects and weeds by choosing and using lawn and garden products carefully.

Protective care often involves the use of pesticides to rid lawns of harmful pests like grubs, mosquitoes, ticks, fire ants, poison ivy and ragweed. With careful research

and responsible use, homeowners can benefit from the effectiveness of these products.

“Having the right tools and a plan of action gives homeowners peace of mind when it comes to protecting their living space both inside and out,” says Aaron Hobbs, president of RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment), a national organization representing the manufacturers, formulators and distributors of pesticide and fertilizer

products used in home and lawn care. “Nothing is more rewarding than enjoying activities on a healthy lawn or a pest-free outdoor area with family, friends and pets.”

Follow these simple instructions for a PEST (plan, execute, stay aware and treat products with care) plan of action: Plan — Before taking action on any lawn care project, research potential problems carefully. Every lawn differs depending on climate and location, so find out what most often affects lawns in your area. Make an action plan with specific steps to deal with problem pests, including when to tackle important projects and what methods prove most effective. Different pests require different pesticides, so knowing specifically what needs to be done allows for proper pesticide selection and pest elimination. Local lawn care specialists and extension agents can help answer your questions about making effective pest elimination plans.

Execute — Once a plan is in place, proper action can be taken. Remember, however, that lawn care products are not effective unless they are used properly. Carefully read and follow all directions on how to mix, apply and store pesticides. Also, use only the label-recommended amount of product for the size and makeup of your lawn area.

Stay aware — After the application of pesticides and other pest-management tools, keep track of lawn conditions. Lawns require care beyond the use of pesticides, so it remains important that grass is kept trimmed and TURN TO LAWN ON B20

Five ‘luxury’ bathroom upgrades on the cheap (ARA) — It’s probably safe to say that no potential buyer ever passed on a house because the bathroom was just too lovely and luxurious. And few of us would prefer to come home at the end of the day to decompress in an outdated bathroom with a shabby shower and cabinets that have seen better days.

A beautiful bathroom can help potential buyers overlook other flaws in a home. And the bath is one room where homeowners can be confident their renovation dollars will yield not only improved home value, but enhanced enjoyment as well.

Fortunately, you don’t have to spend lavishly to elevate the luxury quotient of your home’s bathroom.

Here are five “luxury” upgrades that can be done on a moderate — or even modest — budget: 1. Lighten up with a skylight When it comes to creating a comfortable, energy-efficient ambiance in a room, it’s hard to beat Mother Nature. Natural light helps reduce dependency on artificial light sources and the electricity they consume, and can have a positive effect on mood and overall health.

You may hesitate to add a large, clear window to a bathroom, but skylights are a great way to add the luxuriousness of natural light without compromising on privacy. Choose a venting style which can also be a cost-effective way to help vent humidity, steam and odors from a bathroom.

New models, like Velux America’s No Leak Skylight, eliminate leak worries; when properly installed, Velux skylights are no more prone to leaks than any other quality window.

Visit www.veluxusa.com to learn more.

2. Shower yourself with luxury Ripping out that old ceramic tile and replacing it with the trendiest stone may not be in your budget, or your shower’s future, but swapping out a standard showerhead with something more luxurious probably is. It’s easy to find a variety of showerheads — from rainfall and massaging, to hand-held or dualhead and multi-jet — that will elevate your daily washing routine to a spaquality experience. What’s more, a new showerhead is one of the easiest bathroom renovations to do yourself, even if you have no previous DIY experience.

3. Accessorize, accessorize Who doesn’t love warm, plush bath towels?

Reduce spring cleaning stress with these chore-sharing tips (ARA) — When spring finally rolls around this year, families everywhere will be ready to embrace the season and all it has to offer: sunny days, higher temperatures and finally getting back outside.

But a long winter means your home has some serious spring cleaning needs, which can cause serious stress when one person — Mom — has to handle it by herself.

Sixty-two percent of mothers handle all household chores, according to a recent Roper study. And on average,

moms spend more than 14 hours per week cleaning and maintaining the home.

“Family cooperation is key,” says Alison Gutterman, mother of two and president of Jelmar, maker of CLR cleaning products. “If you share the responsibility for chores, they’ll not only get done faster, but there will be less stress for the whole family.”

Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to create a chore-sharing plan before your flock flies the coop. Create a rotating schedule of chore

assignments so no one gets stuck cleaning the toilet each time. But most of all, keep these simple spring cleaning tips in mind so doing “the chores” doesn’t have to be a chore.

• Organize: Group rooms that need sprucing up into “sectors” that use similar products and methods to help break up your to-do list and tackle projects quickly.

• Prioritize: If cleaning the garage has been TURN TO CHORE ON B20

(ARA) — Nothing beats relaxing in the shade or entertaining a group of guests on your own private deck. When you take the time to plan your deck for the way you live, the result can be a versatile living space and a value-boosting addition to your home.

Trent Boozer, publisher of Extreme How-To magazine, notes his readers have made it clear that decks are one of the top projects they love to design and build. The Internet is full of deck plans and planning tools — and

with the range of decking products and accessories on the market, every deck can take on a personality of its own, he says.

Personalization is what makes the deck an extension of the home, says Rick Preble of Deckorators, the leading deck accessory brand that embraces the concept of deck personalization.

“The idea of an outdoor living room has really materialized as people have reattached to their existing homes,” Preble says. “A costeffective way to add square

footage and upgrade your lifestyle without moving is with a deck.With all the deck products and accessories available today, homeowners can customize their outdoor rooms.”

Deckorators has made the process of mixing and matching different deck accessories and building materials easy with a new, easy-to-use online design program: the Deckorators’ Deck Visualizer. The online tool is free and provides TURN TO DECK ON B19

Ground cover The creeping cure for

ugly bare spots and landscaping challenges (ARA) — Nearly every lawn or garden has one — a bare, ugly spot where nothing seems to grow well. Maybe the spot gets too much sun, or too much shade. Perhaps the soil is too sandy, rocky or full of clay for most plants to survive in it.

Maybe it’s on a hill or slope where exposure to wind and water runoff make it uninhabitable for average plant life.

Whichever one (or more) of these challenges is the source of your problem spot, chances are the cure is pretty universal: cover it up ... quickly, inexpensively and permanently with flowering or lush, green ground cover.

Hardy, easy to grow and aesthetically appealing ground cover fills vacant spaces, solves landscaping trouble spots and minimizes garden maintenance. Ground cover can transform a dull, sparse space into a rich tapestry of textures, shapes and continual color.

These plants can spruce up challenging spots under trees, accent transitional areas along paths and foundations, and

intensify interest in open spaces. Plus, they deliver a stunning seasonal show of flowers and colors.

Ground cover is a costeffective, fast way to deal with difficult trouble spots. It performs the job of mulch at a fraction of the cost, blocking weed growth, insulating soil, protecting more fragile plants and adding visual appeal. Some ground covers even bolster nutrients for companion plants with more demanding nutritional needs.

Spring is the best time to plant ground covers, giving roots a chance to become established before conditions turn harsh.But before you decide on which varieties of these landscaping miracle-makers you’ll plant, here are some ground cover guidelines: • Don’t just plant the first ground cover that catches your eye. First, take stock of your problem area so you can select a ground cover that is appropriate for the spot. Some ground TURN TO COVER ON B19

homeowners a way to visually discover the different design options they like best for personalizing a deck.

The Deck Visualizer allows the user to set the virtual deck environment to a lake or backyard view and then change the deck accessories for limitless combinations. Users can select the color or grain of composite or wood decking, select the style of metal or even glass balusters, add baluster infill centerpieces, change railing colors, and add post caps, lighting options and even stone.

“This deck design program is fun for homeowners to use and is a great tool for deck planning,” says Preble. “We work with hundreds of deck builders, and they appreciate having this when working with clients.

It allows both consumers and deck builders to visualize different options and choose deck products prior to constructing a deck.”

The North American Deck and Railing Association website (nadra.org) is another good place for consumers to start when gathering information for a deck build.

The organization has a large gallery of photographs of decks that have received national awards for design or construction.

Michael Beaudry, executive vice president of NADRA, says consumers are definitely hungry for deck design ideas and information on new products.

NADRA offers resources to help consumers with deck and rail design and deck safety. The organization’s website also provides access to more than 1,750 different building products companies.

Homeowners who want to build or who are renovating an existing deck will find new trends for 2011. One material making its move onto decks is stone.

Deckorators cast stone Postcovers, which install over rail posts, are one new product in high demand.

The postcovers provide the same look and feel as natural stone columns, but are designed to install over basic wood posts.

Postcovers are hand-painted to look like cobblestone, fieldstone or stacked stone.

The simulated product costs far less than real masonry work and makes it possible for do-it-yourselfers or contractors to add simulated stone columns to a deck.

“Stone or simulated stone on a deck has become possible with new products, and it’s another example of interior design trends and the mixing of various elements making their way to outdoor living areas,” Preble says.

Experts agree that putting the time into planning your deck up front and knowing what your product options are is the best way to ensure you end up with a space your family will embrace as a true outdoor living room.

Tips for better remodeling or landscaping (ARA) — For many homeowners, the return of warm weather signals that time of year to launch the long-awaited home remodeling or backyard patio project.

With the typical major kitchen remodel topping $58,000 and the cost of a new roof topping $21,000, according to the National Association of Realtors 2009 Cost vs. Value Report, taking on even a minor remodel calls for careful attention to detail.

It’s even more important if you’re not a do-it-yourselfer and want to hire a contractor to perform some or all of the work, says FindLaw.com, the world’s leading online legal resource. Doing your homework upfront and being crystal clear in your dealings with a home remodeling or landscaping contractor will reduce miscommunication, frustration and expensive errors.

If you’re ready to take the plunge, here are some timetested tips from FindLaw.com for a better remodeling or landscaping project: 1. Ask yourself: Does it make sense? Before you move too quickly, it’s critical to determine if it makes sense to remodel.The first place to look is your neighborhood. Are other neighbors improving their homes and enhancing the exteriors of their homes,as well as their yards? Is your city or town properly maintaining streets and public areas? Are you committed to staying in your home at least five years?

Remodeling and landscaping can be expensive and, in many cases, you will not fully recoup your investment. While it’s important to do it for yourself, be careful not to over invest either.

2. Do your homework.

Before you call a contractor, do your homework to get a good idea of what you want from your remodeling or landscaping project. Visit showrooms, talk to friends and neighbors

The move to de-lawn large tracks of turf and transform lawns into sustainable landscapes is achievable with the right plants that use less water and pesticides.

who have recently remodeled, read home and landscaping magazines, and visit open houses and showcase homes to see what’s hot in home remodeling and landscaping projects. Start a notebook to collect your ideas, product information and product samples.

3. Build a budget. As you do your homework, start piecing together a budget of what various products and materials may cost. Keep in mind, especially when remodeling an older home,there may be unexpected surprises (such as plumbing or electrical) that could drive up the costs of your remodeling project. To be on the safe side,always add 20 percent to the generally recommended costs of a remodeling project.

4.Listen to word-of-mouth.

If you hire a contractor, make sure that any contractor that you consider is licensed, bonded and insured. Word-of-mouth is the most reliable method to finding a contractor. Ask your friends, neighbors or family members for the names of contractors or landscapers with whom they’ve worked.

5. Get multiple bids.

Always get at least three proposals when selecting a contractor to handle your remodel-

ing or landscaping project.

Always meet the contractor in person and never agree to hire a contractor after your first meeting. Obtain all estimates in writing and carefully compare the details that each contractor has spelled out in his or her proposal.

6. Check your permits. Be wary of the contractor who says you don’t need to pull a permit from city hall for your remodeling or landscaping project. A permit typically represents the minimum construction standard set by a local community.

In other words, a permit actually protects you as the homeowner from shoddy construction or landscaping practices. If you live in a historic neighborhood, there may be more restrictive guidelines that you must follow that have been set by a neighborhood council.

7. Get references. Before you say “yes” to a contractor’s proposal, get at least three to five references from a contractor. Call the contractor’s references and ask about the experience of working with him or her — did the contractor complete the project on time and on budget? Was the contractor responsive to making changes throughout the project and the completion of the punch list

(all of the final details to wrap up a project)? Contact your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed about the contractor.

And, contact building suppliers and subcontractors (electricians, plumbers, etc.) to see if your contractor pays his or her bills on time.

8. Get it in writing. Never, ever agree to hire a contractor, even if it’s your brother-in-law, on a handshake. Always insist on a contract, says FindLaw.com. Be precise about exactly what services will be performed and by when.

Specify exactly what products and materials will be used.

Spell out when payments will be made to the contractor and clarify what recourse you have if the work is not completed to your satisfaction. If need be, contact an attorney specializing in contracts to review the document before signing.

9. Do a gut check. You need to feel good about having someone come into your home every day for weeks or possibly several months.Working with a contractor should be fun, but more importantly, you need a contractor who listens and responds to you. Check your gut reaction. If in any way you feel uncomfortable with a contractor, don’t sign the contract.

And if you have to, move quickly to cancel it. Many states allow a consumer to cancel a contract within three business days after signing it.

10. Be completely satisfied. Never pay for the entire remodeling project or landscaping project up front, before construction begins. In most cases, you’ll put down 25 percent of the total project amount to get the work started.

After that, you’ll pay portions at certain milestones up until the completion of the project.

Don’t make the final payment until you are completely satisfied. It’s one of your last defenses for ensuring that work is completed to your satisfaction. are converting small spaces in blighted areas into thriving farms that grow fresh produce for inner city communities.

CSAs offer fresh produce and provide the chance to learn about varieties, maintaining plants and sharing experiences.

New Urbanism

Sustainable urban communities that offer spots to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle are on the rise.

Planting water-wise plants, collecting rainwater, building walkable streets, and fostering diversity of shops, homes and apartments with less turf and more plants encourages better stewardship of the earth, and reconnects everyone as fellow stewards of resources and communities.

“We had trouble wrapping our heads around saving the rain forests,” says McCoy, “But we clearly can wrap our arms around saving our own backyards. Digging and planting gardens brings awareness that we’re all earth’s caretakers.”

GROUND COVER CONTINUED FROM B18

covers need sun, while others thrive only in shade. Some prefer dry locations. Others require moist soil.

• Assess the soil at the site. Is it sandy and dry? A lovely loam? Or wet, soggy clay? There’s a ground cover for every soil condition, but you’ll also need to test the acidity level of the soil. You may need to amend your soil to raise or lower its pH content, or add organic matter to modify its texture.

• Hardy as they are, ground covers still require proper fertilizing, watering and weed control to maintain their attractiveness — just like any other plant. Newly planted areas will need special attention until they’re well established.

• Seed is the least expensive way to start ground cover. And planting ground cover seeds is some of the easiest sowing you’ll ever do in your yard or garden.

Ground cover seeds are typically much smaller and lighter than other plant seeds; often you’ll get as many as 175,000 seeds in just 1 ounce. One way to make sowing even easier is to use a pre-mix of seeds and lime, like those offered by Outsidepride.com. The mix comes in a shaker bottle and you simply sprinkle the seeds on the planting site.The lime in the mix improves the pH of acidic soils, adds valuable micronutrients and helps break down organic matter.

The lime is also white, so it’s easy to tell where you’ve spread the seed.

You can find a ground cover for virtually every soil situation — and to suit every landscaping preference.

Outsidepride.com offers more than 50 different types of ground cover seed, from the luminous lavender and red of Magic Carpet creeping thyme and the baby blue of Forget-Me-Not to the gorgeous greens of Irish Moss and Kenilworth Ivy. Best-sellers like creeping thyme offer homeowners a vibrant, versatile way to solve problems and accent their landscaping. Creeping thyme is a favorite for its tolerance of dry soil,low maintenance needs and ability to self-seed season after season.

To get ground covers started off on the right foot, plant them in spring so they have a chance to root well.

Before long, your barren, weedy trouble spots will be gone, covered by wondrous waves of flowers and foliage.

and select colors and finishes that will help achieve it. Bright colors help enhance the light.

Earthy and ochre colors transmit serenity. Blues, greens and browns can be used to create natural spaces while the contrast of black and white adds simplicity and elegance. The possibilities are as boundless as the user’s imagination.

• The broad spectrum of this material’s design versatility has helped it become a popular decorative element. The old-fashioned view of ceramic as a simple, functional product to be used only in very specific rooms such as the kitchen and the bathroom, has lost ground over the years as the material has become more versatile.

When working with tile, be open to the various propositions — metallic finishes, finishes that mimic the look of fabric and wood, relief work, new sizes and formats. Choose those that enhance the personality of the targeted design space.

• Combinations of finishes and textures help break up the linear nature of a room and make it more dynamic.

Relief and “volume” finishes, as well as large format tiles, enable you to change the

apparent dimensions of a room and play with the light.

Imitations of wood and leather give a greater sense of comfort and create references to natural elements.

Because tile now provides such versatility and beauty, there is a growing quest to apply the qualities of ceramic to other spaces such as patios, porches and terraces, and even to other objects or furniture pieces, such as headboards, tables, benches, shelves, bookcases and inside closets.These new applications mean that homes are developing a more personal and original feel and are becoming more practical.

Equally, screen-printing and digital printing techniques have opened the doors of the imagination when decorating tiles. The development of these production processes enables the final look to be highly personalized, creating spaces that are unique and custom-made. Bearing in mind the durability of ceramic, ease of maintenance and easy installation methods that enable spaces to be altered cleanly, simply and cheaply, it’s becoming clear that using ceramic tile is an efficient way to revamp your home creatively and affordably. For more tips on decorating with tile, visit www.spaintiles.info.

neglected for years, chances are it’s not a priority. Save those tough jobs until you get through the rooms you know have to get done.

• Quick refresh: Have guests coming today? If you don’t have time for a deep clean, quickly freshen up each room by spraying fabric softener on drapes and curtains, and toss the pillows and couch covers in the dryer with a dryer sheet.

• Use cleaning multitaskers: Maintaining that huge supply of specialized cleaners under the sink is a

waste of time and space — look for products that can tackle three or four jobs instead of just one. For example, CLR Bath & Kitchen Cleaner cleans caked-on grime from ceramic tile, shower doors, toilet bowls, kitchen counter tops and more with just a spray and swipe.

• Create a finish line: Cleaning can go on forever if you let it. By establishing some cleaning goals before you start, you can manage your time and know when to say “enough’s enough.” Once you’re done, get back to enjoying the season and your family.

If you live a green lifestyle, you’d be surprised to know most products used by Corky’s are botanicals, natural products that control pests that are environmentally friendly. You can request all botanicals if that is your preference. For properties that are fully landscaped and the customer does most of their own landscape work, Corky’s

Many of our most common pests are attracted to aphids and whiteflys who spend their time on roses, hibiscus, citrus, and other fruit trees. The honeydew these insects secrete is what

ALLERGY

bat this, OTC decongestant nasal sprays shouldn’t be used more than three days in a row.

Also, an allergist can prescribe a nasal spray containing a steroid, which may be more effective and is not addictive.

Myth: Allergy shots require too much time and are more expensive than taking medicine to relieve symptoms.

Fact: Depending on how bothersome the allergies are, immunotherapy (allergy shots) may actually save money and improve quality of life. In fact, a recent study showed that immunotherapy

reduced total health care costs in children with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) by one-third, and prescription costs by 16 percent. The shots are similar to a vaccine, exposing the recipient to a tiny bit of allergen at a time, to build up a tolerance to it. As tolerance increases, allergy symptoms will be significantly lessened and may even go away. That can save sick days and money spent at the drug store.

Myth: A blood test is the best way to diagnose allergies.

Fact: Actually, skin tests are more sensitive than blood

tests. In skin allergy testing, the skin on the inside of the arms or the back is pricked with a tiny bit of an allergen. If the person is allergic, the site will become red and swollen within 20 minutes and usually clear in an hour or two. Skin testing is very safe when performed by an allergist, even in infants and young children.

But no single test alone provides the entire picture.

Sufferers should see an allergist, who is trained in diagnosing and treating allergies.

Del Sur celebrates grand opening SAN DIEGO — To celebrate the opening of two parks and three new residential neighborhoods, Del Sur is welcoming everyone to a free, fun-filled Day in the Parks event from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 19, at the master-planned community off Camino Del Sur just north of state Route 56.

“The Del Sur lifestyle boasts an abundance of outdoor activities, so our Day in the Parks celebration will reflect that,” said Bill Ostrem, president and CEO of Black Mountain Ranch, developers of Del Sur (www.delsurliving.com).

“There will be food and fun for home shoppers at three different parks and in every new home neighborhood at Del Sur.” Three new residential neighborhoods opening to the public for the first time March 19 at Del Sur are Carleton and Presidio by Standard Pacific Homes and Valencia by California West Communities.

All three neighborhoods offer larger homes on large lots, and each showcases the new “Del Sur Room” designed to extend and expand indoor/outdoor living space. Prices are expected to start from the low

3. Succulent gardens: No longer gift shop novelties.

Succulent gardens are rapidly becoming the cool, lowmaintenance way to bring plants inside. Nurseries and retailers nationwide are offering unique combinations of these interesting plants in assorted dishes and planters.

4. Hanging plants Have little floor space, shelf space, or window ledges to spare? No problem.You can still reap the benefits of indoor plants by hanging plants from hooks on walls or ceilings.Take care to firmly anchor into ceiling joists or wall studs. Many pots, planters and baskets are made just for hanging and will allow the opportunity to hang new greenery anywhere. Take caution not to hang plants directly over a heat vent or too close to drafty windows or doors. Choose from a selection of spider plants that do well in a hanging pot like English ivy, or Boston ferns.

5. Mounted plants: The mystery revealed What are “mounted” plants? Plants requiring little or no soil for nutrients and growth are simply mounted onto bark, wood, cork, or are hung up by wire. Air plants, also known as Tillandsia and staghorn ferns are interesting and unique plants that can be mounted and hung on walls, from ceilings or nearly anywhere that would protect their roots from getting wet. These unusual plants don’t require soil because they take in nourishment and water through their leaves. In their natural tropical settings, these plants can be found attached high up in trees. These plants are sure to draw attention and make great conversation starters.

Some varieties of orchids do well mounted and make a beautiful, unique addition to any home.

6. Forcing bulbs: Boost the blooms A layer of snow may be covering the flower beds outside, but you don’t need to just wait for the colors of spring.

Simply begin forcing bulbs indoors to fill your home with beautiful spring blooms all winter long. Daffodils, tulips, crocus and hyacinth are the most popular bulbs to force indoors and will add a nice splash of bright cheery color to your late winter doldrums. To get started, choose a broad, shallow pot that is clean and contains drainage holes in the bottom. Next, fill loosely with a potting medium like MiracleGro Organic Choice Potting Mix and add bulbs — ensuring the “noses” stick slightly out of the soil directly under the rim of the pot. Then, water and force bulbs into an “artificial winter” by placing in a cool place such as a basement, garage or crawl space with a temperature of around 35 to 50 degrees. Continue watering consistently until this period has ended (length depends on the variety of bulb). Finally, keep bulbs in temperatures near 60 degrees with sunlight.

Soon you will be enjoying the blooms of spring right inside.

Whatever your reason for incorporating plants indoors, make the experience enjoyable. Take advantage of both the air purification features of indoor plants as well as their exquisite beauty. Experiment with different ways to grow plants.

• Heating and cooling alone accounts for half of the energy used in a home, according the Alliance to Save Energy, so it’s important to install a HVAC system that will deliver optimal performance. A product such as the Trane XC95m furnace is among the most energy efficient on the market, and is equipped with technology that allows it to communicate with all other components of a heating and cooling system.

• If smart technology and a customized home experience are what you need, consider remote home energy management systems. With a solution like Schlage LiNK, a remote access solution that provides home control from a cell phone or any computer

Many manufacturers offer whole-house air filtration systems, and some of these systems can filter up to 99.98 percent of particles and allergens from your home’s air.

If any of these home trends apply to the “must have” list for your new or remodeled home, your heating and cooling system might be a good place to begin in your planning.

for this oasis, using a serene palette of color and textures to accent the space and create a true sense of retreat.

The first consideration?

Paint and the color it provides. Your choice of paint will create the canvas that complements and highlights all of the room’s other design features.

“This year’s color trends are inspired by everyday life, making them versatile in any setting, including a master suite,” Schroeder says. “One collection that works especially well is one that reflects a practical way of life — a

true functionality.”

In this palette, texture is key and colors are soft and faded.

Windswept and washed effects, as well as monochromatic layering, set off this modern collection.

Inspired colors from Dutch Boy’s innovative Color Simplicity System include Boardwalk Blue, Composed Bloom, Spruce Hollow and Range Brown.

Another palette working its way into the contemporary master suite is one that revolves around technology — which also reflects the modern amenities that are incorporated into these living spaces. In Dutch Boy’s “Abyss” trend for 2011, soft

neutrals and grays complement the true serenity of a master suite and the reflective alone time you appreciate when you’re away from today’s sometimes overwhelming abundance of technology and instant communication. Consider such hues as Dutch Boy’s Gargoyle Shadow, Fresh Linen, Pursuit of Happiness and Piccolo.

Nothing ties a room together better than luxurious design elements like custom-made fabric headboards and coordinating bedding in silks, Egyptian cottons and other natural fibers. Think mix-and-match when it comes to furniture — eclecticism rules in 2011. The pervasive

“The market is starting to improve,” she said. “It’s a good time to put properties on the market if you want to sell.”

The two biggest pieces of advice Zanelli offers those ready to put their home on the market are to have it show like a model home and to be priced properly.

Some common mistakes people make when readying to list their home are not putting any money into getting it ready and not being realistic about property values.

Nothing says more about Zanelli and her services than the words of her clients themselves. “You put a lot of energy into the endeavor which was infectious. I was impressed with your skills in putting together a great advertising and marketing program … Your following with the track people and intimate knowledge of the Beach Colony in Del Mar all contributed to our success,” said client Ed Leutheuser.

Today’s Kohler’s Lawnfield and Wheatland cast iron kitchen sinks emphasize design with an ideal balance between form

and function at an attractive price. Single-basin sinks reflect historical design, and double basin cast iron sinks offer a modern convenience.

You’ll find a variety of color choices, as well as undercounter and self-rimming options.

“Life moves at a rapidfire pace these days, and a master suite is one place where you can get away from the hustling pace and just take a deep breath,” Schroeder says. “When creating your sanctuary within your home, take time to consider all the design options so you can have a space where you can escape from responsibilities, deadlines and outside noise and simply just relax.”

The first cast-iron baths were free-standing models — a design so ubiquitous that many Americans still associate it with cast iron. When Kohler introduced the built-in bathtub in the early 1900s, the style quickly became the design of choice for American homeowners and remains the most popular style today.

Now, you can find cast iron bathtubs that offer the convenience and functionali-

ty of the built-in style, along with the elegance and durability of enameled cast iron.

For those who crave design variety, drop in/undermount and freestanding styles are also available in cast iron.You can even find styles that offer massaging water jets and bubbles.

You may fondly recall your grandparents’ cast iron, but modern design and a vibrant array of colors have today’s homeowners falling in love with cast iron’s durability and convenience all over again and enjoying it for years to come — just as other homeowners have before them.

3-D Glasses

Current 3-D TV technology requires viewers to wear a pair of 3-D glasses to enjoy the technology. Most 3-D TVs use active 3-D glasses which contain a power source within the glasses. Expect to pay around $100 to $200 per pair of active 3-D glasses. Some 3D TV manufacturers are beginning to offer a passive 3-D technology. Passive 3-D glasses do not require a power source to view 3-D content, so they are lighter and cheaper.

Despite some reports that “glasses-free” 3-D TV is set to come soon, most consumer electronic experts agree that the technology is several years away from being available to consumers.

Viewing angle caveats

If you’ve ever tried to watch a big game or movie on a 2-D LCD or LED TV with a large group of people, you’ve probably experienced the issue of limited viewing angle options. Because of the technology used to put the image on the screen, LCD and LED TVs don’t always offer a good image from every viewing angle. The issue is even more relevant for 3-D TVs, according to Best-3DTVs.com.

That’s because 3-D TVs share the same viewing angle issues as some 2-D flat

COAST NEWS GROUP — SPRING HOME & GARDEN GUIDE screens, but with the added challenge that 3-D glasses can also block light from the screen, lowering brightness and contrast. If you’re also viewing the screen from an angle, all these factors can lead to a “very underwhelming 3-D viewing experience,” the website points out.

“Most industry experts argue that 3-D technology actually increases the viewing angle problem,” says Jim Wohlford, vice president of Sanus, makers of TV mounts and accessories. “Early 3-D reviews indicate a ghosting effect around objects on the screen when viewed from an angle.”

Fortunately, wall-mounting on a full-motion mount, which can resolve viewing angle issues for 2-D flat screens, is a good option for 3-D TVs as well. Products like the VisionMount VLF311 Super Slim Full-Motion Mount allow you to maintain the sleek, low profile look of a flat-screen while still having the ability to move the set to whatever position or angle is best for your viewing needs.

“By placing a TV on a full-motion mount, you can be sure you can always achieve the optimal viewing angle from any seat in the room,” Wohlford says. “Fullmotion mounts are available to accommodate all sizes of TVs, are easy to install and simple to use. They apply a low-tech, time-honored solution to one of the most common problems of our favorite high-tech toys.”
