More studies needed before fairgrounds upgrade can proceed BY JOE TASH The state agency that oversees the Del Mar Fairgrounds will have to complete additional environmental studies before it can move forward with plans to upgrade the property, based on a judge’s ruling in a lawsuit against the agency. The lawsuit was filed by

the San Diego chapter of the Sierra Club, and alleged that the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, did not adequately address a series of environmental issues before approving an ambitious master plan for the property in 2011. San Diego Superior

Court Judge Ronald Prager, in a split decision issued Wednesday (Oct. 3), rejected some of the Sierra Club’s allegations and upheld others regarding the environmental impact report for the master plan. The bottom line is that further environmental work will be required before the

district can start any of the projects in the master plan, which includes construction of a new exhibit hall with underground parking, paving a large dirt parking lot, realigning the Solana Gate, building new offices and box office, adding an electronic reader board along Interstate 5 and construction

of a health club and sports training facility. Both sides interpreted the ruling as a victory. “The overwhelming majority of complaints were rejected by the judge. This is a huge victory for the district and the taxpayers,” said See FAIRGROUNDS, Page 6

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Whereas debates are common election season affairs to test candidates’ prowess and demonstrate their differences in the issues, there wasn’t much disagreement at an Oct. 8 Solana Beach City Council debate co-hosted by the city’s Clean and Green Committee and Solana Homeowners Association Group (SHAG). Perhaps that’s because the three of the six candidates who might have brought differing opinions to the table didn’t show up, stating concerns that the format of the event — which organizers actually referred to as a forum, not a debate — was “not conducive to an informative and broad discussion

of the issues.” Still, nearly 200 residents packed the Boys and Girls Club to listen and submit questions in an open format on a variety of topics — from seawalls, to medical marijuana, to affordable housing. The League of Women Voters moderated, and candidates Lesa Heebner, David Zito and Peter Zahn answered each question, often sounding more like teammates than opponents — and with three seats open on the council, that consistency could mean a less divided council if they all win. Candidates Vickie Driver, Paul Frankel and Daniel Powell said in a statement that they hope to participate in a See DEBATE, Page 16

Yes on Prop CC campaign Judge rules in favor of ex-superintendent Judgment specifics pending in wrongful termination suit makes its case for bond Next community forum scheduled for Oct. 18 ■ 3rd Annual Amanda Post Memorial Golf Tournament held. Page B12

BY KAREN BILLING As the Nov. 6 election grows near, the Yes on Prop CC campaign is hoping to get the word out on the Del Mar Union School District bond by hosting community forums. The first forum was held on Oct. 4 and the second is upcoming on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 6 p.m.

at the Ocean Air Recreation Center. “The choice is up to voters to consider the impact of Prop CC on the quality of education in the district and what that quality has on their property values,” said Suzanne Hall, the co-chair of the Committee for Quality Local Schools running the forums. Prop CC is a $76.8 million general obligation See BOND, Page 6

BY KAREN BILLING While the trial ended Oct. 3 in the case of former Del Mar Union School District Superintendent Sharon McClain versus the district, the specifics of the judgment of the wrongful termination lawsuit won’t be known for weeks. “I won,” McClain said. “I feel vindicated… The most important thing was the vindication to me that they did the wrong thing. I’m glad it’s been proven

that they were wrong.” McClain said she will be owed two years and three months in back payments, plus retirement from the California State Teachers Retirement System (STRS). McClain’s attorney, Dale Gronemeier, emailed this newspaper copy from the court’s statement of intended decision that said: “The Court finds in favor of plaintiff for breach of contract in the sum of $413,500, which includes

Officials to discuss possible extension of San Diego Polo Club lease BY JOE TASH The city of San Diego is willing to consider a lease extension of three to five years with the San Diego Polo Club for property the club has occupied for the past 26 years, the city’s chief operating officer said Oct. 9. Polo club officials are set to meet with city representatives on Oct. 16 to discuss the lease extension for the 80-acre parcel at El Camino Real and Via de la Valle where the club has operated since 1986. The property is owned by the city of San Diego, and the club’s 26-year lease expired in March. Rather than negotiate exclusively with the club for a long-term extension of the lease, the city decided to open up the bidding to other groups to ensure that it got the best value for the property, said Jay Goldstone, the city’s chief operating officer. The city had planned to issue a request for proposals from groups interested in leasing the property this spring, but the process was delayed while the city finalized the design for an expansion and realignment of El Camino Real, which could end up cutting across a corner of the polo club property, Goldstone said. That left the club on a month-tomonth lease since March, making it difficult to spend money on maintenance, or sublease the property for such events as the popular Surf Cup youth soccer tournament. Any extension of the lease would have to be approved by the San Diego City Council, Goldstone said, but the city is willing to sit down and discuss an interim extension with the polo club. Currently, the club pays the city $9,842 per month to lease the property. Goldstone

would not comment on possible terms for an interim lease. He said that once the El Camino Real project is completed over the next three to five years, the city would issue a request for proposals and find a long-term lessee for the property. Goldstone said he is hoping the city can reach a deal for an interim lease extension before a new mayor takes over. Mayor Jerry Sanders will step down Dec. 3 at the end of his term and a new mayor — either City Councilman Carl DeMaio or U.S. Rep. Bob Filner — will take over. Meanwhile, polo club officials said they would prefer a long-term lease, but want at least an interim extension so they can sign agreements with outside groups that stage youth soccer and lacrosse tournaments and other events. Club president Ron Bonaguidi said he is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Oct. 16, with Jim Barwick, director of the city’s real estate assets department, to discuss an interim lease extension. For now, he said, the interim extension would allow the club to spend money to maintain the property and to make the property available for outside events. The uncertainty over the lease has already led one group that sponsors a youth lacrosse tournament to move its event to South Carolina, costing San Diego millions of dollars in visitor revenue, Bonaguidi said. But he and club officials are optimistic the city will move forward with an interim lease, he said this week. “It’s promising and we’re optimistic and hopeful,” he said.

DM Union School District establishes new CAB policy BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District adopted a new resolution and policy on Oct. 3 regarding the use of capital appreciation bonds (CABs) with the issuance of general obligation bonds. With the Nov. 6 vote on Prop CC approaching, the board wanted to ensure accountability to the public and avoid a situation like Poway Unified’s, where that district’s long-term, 40-year CAB will end up costing taxpayers almost 10 times what the district borrowed. Baked into the policy and resolution is language recommended by San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister, who is pushing for legislation to change school districts’ use of CABs. “I think we now have a resolution for the bond and a policy that really sets a di-

rection for what we want to do, keeping an eye on responsibility in the district,” said Del Mar school board trustee Doug Rafner. Under DMUSD’s new resolution and policy, CABs will only be pursued if the repayment ratio does not exceed 4:1 and they are structured to be fully repaid in 25 years. The board made it clear they do not want bonds that last beyond 25 years. “Poway needed a lot of money fast,” said trustee Kristin Gibson. “We don’t need a lot of money fast, we need a sustained amount of revenue to implement our strategic plan over a long period of time.” Rafner said he also likes the checks and balances that are worked into the resolution—the sale of any form of CAB would have to be reviewed by the district’s citizen’s

DM Fairgrounds board considering plan to assist Modoc County Fairgrounds BY JOE TASH The board that oversees the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds is considering extending a lifeline — consisting of a loan of up to $200,000 and staff support — to a tiny fairgrounds in the northeast corner of California that is in danger of shutting down in the next several months. Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees

the Del Mar Fairgrounds, said he will come up with a plan over the next 30 days to assist the 34th District Agricultural Association, which operates the Modoc County Fairgrounds. The plan would have to be approved by the 22nd DAA Board of Directors, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which oversees all fairgrounds in the state. The issue arose because the state cut off funding this

year to smaller fairgrounds due to budget problems. Modoc County had been receiving about $230,000 per year from the state, or about two thirds of its $355,000 annual operating budget. In contrast, the 22nd DAA’s annual budget, not including costs related to horse racing, is about $60 million, and comes from revenue generated at the fairgrounds. Dannette E.

New Coast Blvd. lot owner may bring elite paid parking technology to Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN Residents might soon see some drastic changes to the Seagrove Parking Lot on Coast Boulevard that’s frequented by patrons of Poseidon and Jake’s Del Mar, after the Del Mar City Council on Oct. 8 approved an ordinance leasing adjacent property in return for enforcement revenue. Plans for the lot — which is currently being used as a common pay-to-park site that dispenses tickets and takes money at an exit booth — are to include a self-service machine that assigns parking space. If approved, that measure will not only result in more cost efficiency for the developer and Solana Beach, but it might also keep residents from circling the lot in search of a parking space. The price for parking will be up to the owner, and the measure still awaits a second reading by the council before it would go into effect after 30 days. The leased .31-acre parcel consists of a strip of land along Coast Boulevard, con-

taining a toll gate, all driveway areas and some parking spaces. Currently, the south end of the lot is closed to avoid possible backup into the street. Next Ventures, LLC, bought the property last month from Del Mar Beach Property LLC. The city was already in negations before the deal closed to lease a small adjacent public right of way in return for enforcement services. If all goes as planed by the developer, however, Del Mar’s task of enforcement will be minimal because handheld devices would be able to detect which spaces are open and which are full. The city will bring in $70,000 in revenue the first year and 50 percent of the owner’s revenues thereafter. Assistant city manager Mark Delin said a busy lot such as Seagrove might bring in as much as $500,000.

Legislative proposals prompt Del Mar to seek lobbyist BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Oct. 8 gave direction to city staff to seek new legislative lobbying services to provide a voice in Sacramento that may dramatically change the governance of the fair board. There may be proposals drafted as soon as January, according to a city staff report. An example of recommendations floating around the legislature is a report by the Little Hoover Commission on how to manage fairgrounds. Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard said the current lobbyists, with the firm Ellison Wilson Advocacy, “are either too busy or involved to the degree that they are not fulfilling what’s expected of them.” The city has contracted with that firm since 2000.

DM lifeguard building up for prestigious architecture award BY CLAIRE HARLIN One of the most talked about design award organizations — known for honoring building and interior design that’s helped the local scene grow — has turned the spotlight on the 17th Street Beach Safety Center in Del Mar, located at 1700 Coast Blvd. The building and its architects were nominated in August for an “orchid” via Orchids & Onions, an educational and fundraising program of the Architectural Foundation. The results were scheduled to be announced on Oct. 11 (after presstime for this The 17th Street Beach Safety Center in Del Mar newspaper). The center’s development is unique in that the community actually made it happen. A group of residents formed a nonprofit, the Friends of the Powerhouse, to replace the inadequate existing structure. The design process began nearly a decade ago and the center opened this summer. To view the winners, visit www.orchidsandonions.org.

Del Mar addresses need for affordable housing BY CLAIRE HARLIN With the development of affordable housing a major area of needed improvement for Del Mar, the City Council on Oct. 8 held a review and discussion on the city’s ongoing process of updating the housing element of the general plan. The city’s Housing Element Advisory Committee is in the process of drafting an inventory, assessment, goals and policies that will proceed to the Planning Commission for review in November and possible adoption next spring. In addition to meeting state requirements, Del Mar would like to use the housing element of the city’s general plan to be competitive for grants by planning for and producing affordable housing. However, the city’s lack of a housing element has earned the city no points under a San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) system that awards grants based on points. Locally, about 25 percent of residents would qualify for housing, and any household income of about $64,000 or less is considered low-income. The fairgrounds master plan includes a housing element to house fair employees, said City planner Adam Birnbaum. The city is working with fair officials to explore the possibility of making this housing permanent and count toward the city’s requirement. This may be a compromise considering the fair is a big employer of residents who may seek affordable housing.

Education Matters/Opinion

Changing lives click by click BY MARSHA SUTTON I never expected tears. Marsha Sutton But without warning my eyes began to well up when I heard her speak about social justice, the endless fight for gender equality, and the desperate need in the world to embrace our common humanity. The embarrassing trickle became a torrent when a young woman asked her what was the best part of being a feminist advocate. “You,” she said without hesitation. That did it for me, as I reached for the tissues. It’s Gloria Steinem, of course – gracious, lovely, articulate, passionate, full of humility, and inspirational as ever. Steinem spoke Oct. 3 at Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley before a tremendous crowd of 1,300, women and men of all ages, who greeted her with thunderous applause. She was the inaugural speaker of Beth Am’s newly instituted Inspiring Minds Speaker Series, and the title of her presentation was “Feminism: The Longest Revolution.” News for those who think the revolution is over because so many rights have been won is that setbacks abound. Legal challenges that seek to legitimize discrimination against women and reverse hard-fought battles continue to pop up like Whack-a-Mole. “We’ve already lost most of Roe vs. Wade,” she said, referring to the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Steinem said the way women have been “kept in our place in this country is to say how much better off we are” – both geographically, compared to many thirdworld countries, and historically, given the progress in the last 40 years. But do we stop caring at the edges of our borders? Have we achieved parity and equal opportunity in the workplace? Is there respect for full-time homemakers? Does domestic violence still exist? Are rape victims stigmatized? Do women have full reproductive freedom? “To say to girls you can be anything you want to be is a lie,” Steinem said. “Then when they come up against boundaries, they perceive it as their own fault.” ***** The icon of the modern feminist revolution, Steinem rocked my world. She was the ultimate transformative figure in my

life. She did for me what personal heroes do – provide a “click” in our thinking, a moment that suddenly brings clarity to our lives, explains mysteries of human behavior, propels us to change. Steinem introduced the concept of the “click moment” – an altered perception of your own life that never allows you to “go back” to being ignorant or uninvolved or self-absorbed. It’s when you suddenly get it – you see the discrimination, feel the wrong, experience the indignity. She opened my eyes, 40 years ago, in 1972, just as I was entering college. She’s been with me longer than my husband of 35 years, and she changed my life forever. She raised my consciousness in profound and lasting ways, just as she influenced – and continues to influence – generations of women and men. Steinem inspired me to join the National Organization for Women, march for the Equal Rights Amendment, fight for abortion rights, demand equal pay, understand that rape victims never “ask for it” or deserve it, keep my own last name, not be embarrassed by my 5-foot,10-inch frame, pay my own way, and speak up for justice, human rights and deeply held values. One of her most important lessons was the power of language and how it can be used to denigrate, often unconsciously. Demeaning references to adult women – from “girl” to “chick” to “bitch” – were eliminated from my vocabulary after that particular “click.” Even in the face of alarming political setbacks and abhorrent misogynistic rhetoric today that could never have been imagined 20 years ago, Steinem calls herself a “hope-aholic” and radiates sunny optimism. Now a magnificent 78 years old, Gloria Steinem is still dazzling. Her beauty was often regarded as a curious trait. Feminists in the 1970s were derisively characterized as “women’s libbers” and bra-

burners and were portrayed as repellant agitators – loud, angry, ugly, masculine and decidedly unappealing. It was easier for those threatened by the movement to dismiss the message if one could tar the message-bearer as caustic, alienating and radicalized. But what to do with gorgeous Gloria? It was difficult to disregard and patronize her in the traditional way. She became the symbol of modern feminism, protesting that women are too often judged by outward appearances when it’s what’s inside that matters. Is she skilled at her job? Is she kind to her children? What are her talents? Is she honest? Does she listen to others? Will she speak up against injustice? Is she a worthy person? These are not female traits but are human qualities, and on that we should all be judged equally. The women’s movement, she said, “is about the full humanity of both men and women.” Many memories came flooding back to me, listening to her speak last week. She and the other early feminists inspired me, empowered me, embraced me, opened my eyes and woke me up. So there she was, standing 10 feet away from me, my hero at a time in my life when I was desperate for meaning and purpose. As she left the podium and walked past me, I impulsively touched her arm without thinking and thanked her through my tears for changing my life 40 years ago. “Good,” she said with a smile. “Now you go out and change other people’s lives.” Quiet but powerful, softspoken and elegant, Gloria Steinem is empowering a new generation of young women and is still changing the world – one person at a time, one click at a time.

FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 Adam Day, president of the district’s board of directors. Judge Prager provided “a very clear path to correct the minor deficiencies he has identified,” which should take two to three months, Day said, which in turn would clear the way for the district to move forward with fairgrounds improvements. The first priority, Day said, would be to replace the fairgrounds’ aging exhibit halls — some of which are 60 years old — with “new, up-to-date, energy efficient, modern exhibit halls.” But an attorney for the Sierra Club said it won’t be quite so simple to remedy the deficiencies in the environmental impact report identified by the judge. In his ruling, Prager determined that the district must do additional work in four areas: traffic generation and mitigation, greenhouse gases and water supply. “I’m pessimistic that it will be as easy as Mr. Day suggested that it might be,” said attorney Jan Chatten-

Brown. “These issues are not going to be readily addressed, they are going to have to do some hard work.” “It’s not a quote, fix-it ticket, that was the term the district’s counsel used in court. It’s not at all such a simple matter, there’s a fairly rigorous test that is applied,” Chatten-Brown said. The fact that Prager sided with the Sierra Club on any of the issues it raised is a “game-changer,” said Chatten-Brown, and means the club prevailed in its legal action. The club is also entitled to have the district cover its legal fees, which will add up to more than $100,000, she said. Prager’s 13-page ruling noted that the district’s environmental impact report was up to snuff in a number of areas, including wetlands, biological resources and aesthetics, along with baseline, long-term traffic impacts and direct access ramps. Chatten-Brown said either side could appeal the parts of Prager’s ruling that went against it, or the two sides could try to settle of the remaining issues through negotiations.

The Sierra Club’s lawsuit isn’t the only legal challenge to the district’s master plan. A similar lawsuit was also filed last year by the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the joint powers authority that manages the San Dieguito River Park. Earlier this year, it appeared the lawsuit by the two cities and the River Park JPA was close to being settled, but negotiations later stalled. “Our board will be meeting in closed session on Tuesday (Oct. 9) to consider the settlement negotiations in light of the recent judge’s decision,” Day said. Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard said the Sierra Club prevailed on several “major issues” and was optimistic that a settlement could be reached to the Del Mar-Solana BeachJPA lawsuit. “The effect of the judgment is to encourage and open the door for further settlement discussions,” Hilliard said. “Now that certain issues have been decided we can hopefully settle the rest.” A status conference on the lawsuit is set for Oct. 19, also before Judge Prager, Hilliard said.

BOND continued from page 1 bond, costing taxpayers $8.44 per $100,000 of assessed property values. For the average homeowner in the district the cost would be $65 a year. The district plans to have a debt service ratio of 2.1 to 1 and recently passed a new board resolution and policy regarding the controversial use of capital appreciation bonds (CABs). Hall said the driving force behind the bond is that state funding has been on a consistent decline for several years. The district needs funds to implement its strategic plan, and upgrade and maintain school sites in the district. According to U.S. Census data, California spent $3.465 billion less on K-12 education in 2009-10 than it did in 2007-08 and the state ranks 35th in the country in per pupil spending. The 2011-12 school year is the first time DMUSD will deficit spend in the amount of $2.39 million. A strategic plan, available on the district website, maps out DMUSD’s maintenance and facilities needs

pensation and he believes the amount owed to be more like $156,000. “I think that the verdict was in her favor,” Shinoff said. “I think it’s our obligation as officers of the court to make sure we’re never ever critical of a decision that a judge makes, but that doesn’t mean there still aren’t issues capable of being viewed from a different perspective.” The Del Mar school board met in closed session on Monday. Oct. 8, to discuss the case but no action was taken. President Scott Wooden said that they are awaiting the court’s judgment and nothing will happen until that point. “We’d all like to see it resolved,” Wooden said. “This is a great district. We’re moving forward, we have high test scores, we have the right leadership in place and we’re moving in the right direction. This is an issue we inherited and we’d like to see it put behind us.” Superintendent Holly McClurg echoed Wooden’s

belief that the district is in a positive place. “Not only is our leadership team extremely strong but the entire management team is very strong. We’re very student-focused and that is the direction we want to continue going in,” McClurg said. “It’s a distraction. Our focus is on making this the best district for the kids and this is not making it the best for the kids,” Wooden said. McClain was fired in an open session meeting on March 13, 2010 with cause, although the reason was not stated publicly because it was a personnel matter and could not be discussed. Doug Perkins and Comischell Rodriguez are the only current board members who were a part of the previous board that fired McClain. The three-week trial included testimony from former board members and district staff, and included passages read from an unfavorable superintendent evaluation before McClain’s firing. “The judge heard every single thing the district said I had done wrong and he didn’t agree with them and to me that’s pretty important,” McClain said.

The transcript of the case will be made available later this week. Wooden said there was no way the district could settle the case because what McClain is requesting as far as STRS benefits would be considered “pension spiking,” which is illegal—“It had to go to a court judgment,” Wooden said. Until the judgment is released, the district’s next steps are yet to be determined. There may be two appeals of the decision by both the plaintiff — for more money — and the school district, according to Shinoff. “Quite frankly, an appeal [by the district] isn’t before the board yet and I think based on a document filed since the verdict it’s my belief that the plaintiff wishes to file an appeal,” Shinoff said. McClain said that the entire process has been exhausting. “I don’t know if they’ll appeal but it’s just going to cost them more money,” McClain said.

that the funding from Prop CC would be used toward, Hall said. To name just a few, the list includes technology upgrades for all campuses; an early childhood special education preschool; a heating and air conditioning system for the Torrey Hills multi-use room, which the students could have benefited from during the recent heat wave, according to Hall; and a significant modernization for the aging, 20-year-old Carmel Del Mar campus. Tarps are visible on the school’s library where leaky roofs have threatened books and a major sewer system leak has resulted in damage to the blacktop and play fields. Hall said the state used to be able to help with modernizing school campuses but it is no longer able to. The burden of modernizing schools falls onto the district and the money would have to come out of the general fund, which would likely result in cuts elsewhere, such as furlough days and increased class sizes, Hall said. “Something would have to give,” Hall said. One forum attendee wondered why the San Diego County Taxpayer’s Association did not give its ap-

proval to Prop CC, while San Dieguito Union School District’s Prop AA and MiraCosta College’s Prop EE bonds were. “They try to protect taxpayers from a bad deal but they don’t always get it right. They endorsed both of Poway’s,” Hall said. Hall said that the Taxpayer’s Association did not allow the Del Mar school board to make a presentation, the district did not have an itemized list of projects at the time of the Taxypayer Association’s consideration (now, as mentioned earlier in the story, the district does have a project list) and the association had issues about paying for short-term technological devices with a long-term bond. Hall said that the devices represent a very small percentage of the $76.8 million, roughly $5 million but not all at once. Parent Michael Robertson questioned the district’s spending and said the real issue was the high teacher salaries, benefits and administration costs. He said the average household in San Diego earns about $65,000 a year and DMUSD teachers average $82,000 per year, plus benefits. “As much money as we

give the school it’s going right to teacher salaries, that’s what I fear, not to improve the quality of education,” Robertson said. Hall said that general obligation bond funds are pretty restrictive in what they can be used for; they can only be used for the list the district provided and they would be prohibited from being used for salaries. She said the district’s compensation falls in the middle among San Diego County schools and the administration costs are well below the average. Robertson also doubted the reasons needed for the bond money. “The 7-11 Committee’s report three years ago found that all schools were modern with no defects,” Robertson said. “The district has sensationalized leaky roofs and worn-out floors and rushed to manufacture a need that doesn’t actually exist.” Janet Handzel, who served on the 7-11 Committee, said the committee did tour the schools sites to look at classrooms and capacity, but did not look at the electrical or sewer systems, the technological capabilities or the roofs.

MODOC continued from page 3 Fair, attended the 22nd DAA board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9, to ask for help from the much larger and better-funded fairgrounds. DePaul said her fairgrounds has about $200,000 in the bank to pay its bills. “When that money is gone, we will no longer be in existence,” she said. After the meeting, she said the fairgrounds will likely close by next spring without an infusion of cash. The request from Modoc County arose from a meeting of fair officials from around the state that both DePaul and Fennell attended. One topic of discussion was a sister fair arrangement through which larger fairs could assist smaller, financially troubled fairs in California. DePaul said her fair board has some ideas for generating revenue, but needs time to put those plans in place. Fennell told the 22nd DAA board, “They need some help. It’s a great little fair. They need some breathing room.” “I love a challenge, and the possibility of helping another DAA that’s very strong in agriculture,” Fennell said. Fennell’s proposal received a mixed reaction from the 22nd DAA board. “The idea of a fair like ours helping a smaller fair like Modoc County, I find positive and appealing,” if such an arrangement is legal, said director David Watson. But board president Adam Day expressed reservations. “We have to be careful of precedent we’re setting,” said Day. “I’m not in favor of handing over a blank check.” In an interview after the meeting, Day said he would be in favor of establishing a pool with contributions from the state’s larger fairgrounds, which could be dispersed to smaller fairgrounds through an application process. He said a direct loan to Modoc County would be legal because both the 22nd and 34th DAAs are state agencies. “It’s a policy decision for the board.” But he noted that, according to Fennell, as many as two dozen smaller fairgrounds may be in jeopardy of closing. “There’s more than

October 11, 2012 one fair that needs help,” he said. According to DePaul, Modoc County’s population has shrunk in recent years from more than 13,000 to less than 10,000, due to the closure of gold mining and logging operations. Some 4,500 people attend the four-day county fair, which runs for four days in late August. Modoc County is remote and rural, relying mostly on agriculture. The area has only one stop light and one business, a Rite-Aid drugstore, she said. The fairgrounds is the social hub of the county, as well as an important venue for many different activities, from firefighter training to agricultural events. 22nd DAA directors were presented Tuesday with a number of letters from Modoc County residents seeking support for their fairgrounds. One couple wrote, “We do not totally know why you want to help the Modoc Fair, but we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.”

CAB continued from page 3 bond oversight committee. The policy states that prior to the sale of bonds it must be put on an agenda at a public meeting to disclose the method of sale and the costs associated with the bond issuance. Also, after the sale the board must present the costs of the bond sale. Trustee Doug Perkins said he had hoped to see a little more “teeth” to the policy, making more restrictions. President Scott Wooden said it is intentionally flexible because they don’t want to tie the hands of future boards should something unforeseen happen. While the resolution and policy states the circumstances in which CABs could be used, DMUSD primarily plans to use Current Interest Bonds (CIBs), paying on a debt rather than deferred debt with interest. “(Should the bond pass) the first issuance will be very conservative at an approximate debt ratio of 2 to 1, which is highly favorable and acting well within the parameters of the this resolution, ” said district superintendent Holly McClurg.

Local pancreatic cancer survivor has high hopes that Senate will pass new research bill BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Stu Rickerson recently attended his 45-year high school reunion in New Jersey. After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2005, it was a celebration he wasn’t sure he would be around to attend. Rickerson knows he is one of the lucky ones as pancreatic cancer only has a 6 percent five-year survival rate, the only major cancer with a survival rate in the single digits. He was excited to attend his reunion, to see his classmates who had remained so supportive over the course of his illness, but he was more excited to see the passage of a new bill that could ensure more pancreatic cancer patients have the opportunity for more reunions and happy endings. On Sept. 19, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act (formerly known as the Pancreatic Cancer Research and Education Act), which formally requires the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to create a long-term plan for cancers with low survival rates and to promote scientific advancements. The act provides an opportunity to change the future for pancreatic cancer by implementing a research plan that could help develop early detection

methods and effective treatment options that are currently lacking. Pancreatic cancer currently gets less than 2 percent of NCI’s research budget despite being the only major cancer with a five-year survival rate in the single digits. “Cancer, in its many forms, exacts a very high economic and personal burden to families—mine is no different,” said bill co-sponsor Congressman Brian Bilbray. “Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive of the cancers with an extremely high mortality rate. Unlocking its mysteries will not only save the lives of those afflicted with this terrible disease, but can be the stepping stone to finding the cure of other aggressive cancers.” Rickerson said Bilbray worked very hard on the Energy and Commerce Committee that deals with medical care issues to ensure that the bill got to the floor and received a favorable vote. “Bilbray’s office really was energetic and tireless in working to keep this bill moving forward so I’m really thankful for him and his hardworking staff,” Rickerson said. Both Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer were co-sponsors of the bill, as well as Congressman Bob Filner of the 51st district, and current mayoral candidate. It is the hope that the senate will vote quickly and

it gets signed into law by the president. They are on a tight timeline as the 211th Congress halted work for the election and ends in January and, if not passed, the slate is wiped clean and they would have to start the process all over again. “I think it’s a realistic hope because 59 senators co-sponsored this bill and it’s bi-partisan and non-

partisan support,” Rickerson said. “I believe they will put aside the gridlock we read about all the time and decide that this is an issue that is both urgent and timely.” While pancreatic cancer is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in America, according to a recent Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PANCAN) study, it has the See BILL, page 13

Meet the San Dieguito Union High School District candidates Four candidates are vying for two open seats on the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees in the Nov. 6 Name: Joyce Dalessandro Years lived in school district: 37 Profession/Education: President, San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees. After completing my bachelor’s degree at Cornell University, I did my graduate work at Columbia University, receiving an M.A. specializing in curriculum development. Joyce Dalessandro Community Activities: I have been involved in many activities during the years that I have lived in this community. I am a past president of the Torrey Pines High School Parent Association and represented parents on the district’s Strategic Planning Committee and on the Torrey Pines Site Council. I was a member of the founding team for the TPHS Foundation and served as the vice president for business fundraising. I have also served as treasurer of both Grad Nite and Dollars for Scholars, as well as actively participating in and heading many other committees and projects. In 1994, I was selected by Redbook Magazine as “Volunteer of the Year” for my work at Torrey Pines High School. I was first elected to the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees in 1996 and am completing my fourth term. I currently serve as board president. I have completed leadership training by the California School Boards Association to earn my Master’s in Boardsmanship and Master’s of Governance. As a member of the board I have been involved in numerous district/community liaison committees, advisory committees, and task forces. 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the school district? Without question, the biggest issues that the school district currently faces are budgetary. More than ever, eduSee DALESSANDRO, page 22 Name: Steve McDowell Years living in the School District: 25 Profession/education: Financial consultant, primarily working with locally started companies including: General Atomic, General Dynamics, QUALCOMM, and REMEC.

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the school district? In many districts bringing test scores up to levels considered acceptable is the biggest issue. San Dieguito Union School District scores are already outstanding. Our district’s biggest challenge is to ensure student achievement continues to improve so that our students attain competencies and skill levels to compete in the 21st century economy. Another significant challenge facing us is declining educational funding and the State borrowing from school districts which requires we establish spending priorities and further tighten our belts. Unfunded State and Federal mandates have also been growing, requiring the district to spend valuable resources. Deciding how best to use every resource the district will require an engaged board willing to ask questions, listen actively to public input, and conduct their own research to make sure all options have been explored. The board must be prepared to make cuts and vote no to keep expenditures within funding limits. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest

potential to move up to the second leading cause of cancer death by 2020 if not by 2015. “That’s what’s so encouraging about this bill,” said Rickerson. “I personally believe that it will help change that deadly trajectory of this disease.” Rickerson has stayed very involved in the fight as a member of PANCAN’s national board of directors. “PANCAN continues to lead the fight on behalf of pancreatic cancer patients across the country in a comprehensive and strategic way,” said Rickerson. “About a year ago we set a goal to double the pancreatic cancer survival rate by 2020.” Rickerson said that, in the last year, PANCAN has seen several promising developments, such as a comprehensive clinical research database so patients who are looking to get into clinical trials can be matched up, and a 28 percent spike in research grant funding. But what Rickerson sees as one of the most important accomplishments is the advocacy effort helped by the “historic” passage of the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act. This Saturday, Oct. 13, PANCAN will host Purple Stride, a 5K run and 1-mile walk at Mission Bay Park’s De Anza Cove. The goal this year is to raise $175,000. To register, visit pancan.org/sandiego.

Undefeated Midget Falcons earn No. 1 seed for Palomar Conference Playoffs BY TIM PICKWELL Torrey Pines Pop Warner linebacker Michael Gadinis wasn’t actually everywhere in the 4th quarter of a game on Oct. 6 — it just seemed like he was. With playoff seeding and bragging rights to the 17team Palomar Conference regular season title on the line, the Midget (7th & 8th Grade) Falcons (6-0 entering the game) faced arguably their toughest opponent, a 5-1 Rancho Bernardo squad that featured a stellar running back and a balanced defense. But, in the 4th quarter of a game tied 16-16, Gadinis lit up. As the quarter started, the Broncos were driving — until Gadinis had a great wrap-up tackle on 3rd down to help stop a drive. Two plays later, with the Falcons on offense, wide receiver Gadinis was trailing a teammate who fumbled the ball straight into the air. Gadinis grabbed the ball before it hit the ground, and ran forward for four more yards. After that drive stalled, the Falcon defense held their ground on 4th and inches, and the Torrey Pines offense took over with just four minutes to play. After runs by Adam Eastwood and Ben McCaskill, the Falcons faced 4th & 3 yards to go on the Bronco 16 yard line with less than two minutes on the clock. Falcon play caller and coach Frank Montes showed confidence in QB Tyler Lytle, and called for a roll-out pass. Lytle connected with Tyler Alexander for 8 yards and a first down. Another run, a short pass to Eastwood, and it was third down with less than 54 seconds remaining. Gadinis time. Lytle dropped back and threw a perfect fade into the left corner of the end zone. Gadinis ran under it and pulled it in for the game winner. A few seconds later, he kicked the point-after (his third PAT of the day). A key tackle, a fumble recovery, a TD and a PAT. That’s a career for some players, and a pretty fine 4th quarter for just one player. While Gadinis was a human highlight reel, he wasn’t the only player with a heroic effort Saturday. Interior Lineman Yu Jay Kurosu excelled at right guard on offense. In the 4th Quarter, while playing D-Tackle, “YK” busted up the middle on 4th & 15 to kill a Bronco drive.

with determination.” Lytle tells the players to “play each game as if it is our last, and enjoy the opportunity to play another week.” The goal is the League Championship, but the boys are taught, “one step at a time. Focus on the game of the week, and nothing beyond.” For now, the focus will be on the first round of the playoffs. There are 17 teams in the Palomar Conference, which is further subdivided into the Avocado League and the Vineyard League. Torrey Pines is the No. 1 seed in the Avocado, and will face No. 4 San Marcos on Saturday, October 13, 2012. If the Falcons win, they will play the winner of Oceanside v. Escondido. The Avocado Champion will face the winner of the Vineyard League for the Palomar Conference Title.

(Center) Quarterback Tyler Lytle Linebacker Noah Rubin was strong up the middle, while Eastwood, McCaskill and Mo Mirer lead a strong ground game for the Falcons. QB Tyler Lytle had another fine performance. Pop Warner emphasizes teamwork, and as an official policy, does not keep statistics. Informally, this observer had Lytle completing his first five passes, and going 10-14, for 131 yards and two TD’s and 71 percent completion rate for the day. He had clutch 3rd and 4th down completions to keep Falcon drives alive. Statistics don’t measure everything, however. The performance of running back Jack Lewis, working hard for every yard in the second quarter before leaving the game after a late hit penalty, didn’t register much on the stat sheet. But, when the entire team goes four-deep at every position in the heart department and plays as hard as Lewis,you know you have something special. “I have never enjoyed coaching more than this year,” said Lytle, who has coached youth football for 12 years—11 as a head coach. “This is collectively the best group of young men I have ever coached. They play unselfishly, and

Team Ronan organizers plan BBQ and auction for injured youth rugby player Rugby supporters and sports fans of all ages are encouraged to attend a special BBQ on Saturday, Nov. 3, from noon to 5 p.m. at the private home of Rick and Mary Reeder located at 1604 Crest Drive, Encinitas, 92024 to support the Team Ronan Recovery Fund. Proceeds from the event benefit Ronan Nelson, a 4.5 GPA student at Cathedral Catholic High School who was critically injured last spring in a youth rugby match. Ronan suffered a broken neck, had surgery and is now undergoing intensive physical therapy in order to regain the ability to walk. Team Ronan BBQ guests will enjoy a catered lunch, hosted drinks, entertainment and an exciting raffle. Because many of the costs associated with Ronan’s treatments are not covered by insurance the event will also have a special Live Auction featuring ‘Fund-A-Need’ packages.

DEBATE continued from page 1 public discussion with all six candidates before Nov. 6. Environmental issues were a hot topic at the debate, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dominate. When asked about views on a controversial proposed affordable housing development on South Sierra Avenue, Heebner, a current council member and former mayor, brought up a new perspective â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that both the city and developer are open to exploring other locations for the project, which seeks to bring the city into state compliance by providing 14 affordable housing units. Zito said he lives on North Cedros Avenue near Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other five affordable units, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen no issue with that property. He also said he is OK with the proposed location, and understands the concern about heightened traffic during the large annual junior lifeguard camp nearby, but he thinks the city will be able to handle that issue as it comes. Zahn said concerns about scale â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be valid,â&#x20AC;? but the project must move forward with the council making the best decisions regarding scale and appearance as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an obligation

by law to provide 14 units,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have a moral obligation.â&#x20AC;? Like the issue of affordable housing, the candidates agreed that the city has no choice when it comes to many aspects of the proposed I-5 expansion. Heebner reminded the audience that voters in 2004 already approved the TransNet tax that will fund the project. All candidates agreed that now it should be a priority of the council to make sure the project has the smallest footprint possible, especially taking into consideration the protection of nearby lagoons. Zahn said a concern of his would be maintenance and what the city will be responsible for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must keep an eye on Caltrans to address these issues,â&#x20AC;? he said. The three candidates also agreed on the need to protect homeowners when it comes to the current battle with the California Coastal Commission in its changes regarding sea walls in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local land use plan. Zito and Zahn supported the Solana Beach Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sept. 26 decision to continue working with the commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already spent a million on this,â&#x20AC;? said Zahn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to throw it all away and spend millions more starting from scratch.â&#x20AC;?

All three candidates agreed that both the plastic bag ban implemented this year and the Highway 101 revitalization that began this summer were good moves for the city, despite concerns that both hurt business. Zahn said, however, the 10-cent deposit thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the bag ban could have been phased in better to allow for a better transition. Zito said he sees the Highway 101 project as something that will attract and help business in the long run. He also likes the idea of using the extra parking from the project to help businesses meeting their parking requirements. Public use of the Fletcher Cove Community Center has also been on residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; radar since its recent $400,000 renovation. The council ordered an environmental study to be done last month to examine impacts such as noise and traffic on the neighborhood, and all said they will not form a definitive opinion until getting those results. Heebner said she is concerned about the residents who live near the center, but also stands by the great majority of local residents who want activity there. She said she supports a trial period that will be heavily monitored and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;be the first to shut it downâ&#x20AC;? if it interferes with the neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

peace. Zahn said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sympathize with the concerned residents nearby but this is too good of an asset not to use.â&#x20AC;? Zito said he may not support events at the center â&#x20AC;&#x153;all weekend, every weekend,â&#x20AC;? but he wants to implement restrictions and make it â&#x20AC;&#x153;more available that it is now, as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in care of the residents and makes financial sense to the city.â&#x20AC;? In their closing remarks, both Heebner and Zahn made comments about participation and said they were glad to have been there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heebner quoted the Woody Allen saying, â&#x20AC;?Eightly percent of success is showing up,â&#x20AC;? and Zahn said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really crucial that those who represent us do show up.â&#x20AC;? Zito invited the community to contact him directly with questions and concerns, and Heebner welcomed people to host coffee talks that she would be happy to attend and answer questions.

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the school district? Reckless deficit spending. As a parent of a Torrey Pines High School student and a 20-plus-year resident of the district, my pledge to taxpayers, parents and students in the San Dieguito Union High School District is to restore fiscal responsibility and sanity to a school board that is running up deficits, raising taxes, and generally acting irresponsibly in the middle of a crippling recession. I am â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the Childrenâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Advocate for students (and their parents), not beholden to any special interest group.

Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1

should be addressed by the board? Work within current income levels: Balanced Budget: The current board has shown it cannot even balance its own checkbook. In fiscal 2011-2012, the board ran a deficit of $3.5 million. For fiscal â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;12-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projected that the district will be $6 million in the red. Imagine what this fiscally dysfunctional board will do with $449 million! No Tax Increase ($449 M Bond): The San Dieguito Union High School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned $449 million bond offering on the November 2012 ballot is exactly what I stand against: increased taxes, wasteful use of tax-payer dollars and a disconnect with/disrespect for the very people the board is sworn to represent and act in the best interest of while strapping the next several generations with confiscatory taxation and a monstrous debt. If the bond is passed, it will hamstring schools with obsolete equipment while crippling the district from seeking fresh monetary streams down the road No New Taxes: The board and district can operate under the parameters of the current revenue stream and not in the red. Bottom line: We can balance the San Dieguito Union High School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and keep schools well funded, properly maintained, technologically up to date, and fully staffed with the current, annual revenue stream.

Prop J supporters base claims on factual evidence Opponents and supporters of Del Mar’s Proposition J have squared off at one another. The opponents continue to vilify supporters by asserting they are serving the interests of “big developers.” Not so. Like the opponents, the supporters also are your neighbors and long-term Del Mar residents. There is no “big-developer” money involved. And opponents continue to make baseless, false claims that Prop J will increase traffic congestion, lower property values, slow emergency vehicle response and produce less revenue for the City. Not one shred of factual evidence or professional opinion has been offered to support these false claims. All of the professional studies and the EIR prepared for Prop J demonstrate the opposite are true. Prop J will reduce congestion on Camino del Mar; increase pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular safety; reduce speeds; increase property values; protect public and private ocean views; improve city revenues; protect adjacent residential streets; and more. These are the facts, supported by the EIR, professional studies and Village Specific Plan policies —not mere speculation and fear-mongering. Moreover, Prop J will not overdevelop our Village commercial area – it allows a maximum 64,790 square feet more retail

and 18,420 square feet of boutique lodging among the 63 privately-owned parcels in the Village. That’s an average maximum increase of only 1,321 square feet per parcel. The VSP also allows a limited number of small residential units in the Village to serve the needs of seniors and young people and to help stem our declining resident population. Prop J assures that all new development will receive full DRB review. It beautifies our Village “Main Street” and makes it more pedestrian friendly. It encourages additional retail shops at the street level, and freezes the amount of office use. It does not slow emergency vehicle response times, according to Del Mar’s current Fire Marshal. And, Prop J does not impose any new taxes or fees on residents! Opponents have declined several invitations from supporters to publicly debate these and other issues on DMTV. Why do the opponents refuse to debate the supporters? Don’t be misled. Get the facts. Attend the public information meetings at the City Hall Annex, 6 p.m., Oct. 15 and 29. Know before you vote. Wayne Dernetz, Del Mar

Keep dirty politics out of Del Mar I noticed [recently] that someone has removed all the “Vote No on J” signs on our street, San Dieguito Dr., and along Jimmy Durante Blvd. and replaced them with “Vote Yes on J” signs. They did not just add their signs but removed the ones that were there because they didn’t agreed with them. This makes us have a very negative feeling about this issue, very distrustful. Dirty politics does not belong in Del Mar. The Hayward Family (Bette B.)

The sky is falling? “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” said FDR. Was he watching Del Mar’s Prop J campaign? The Prop J Village Specific Plan (VSP) is a plan, not a blueprint. Not a straight jacket. No handcuffs. Not a top-down forcefeed to helpless residents. Not a nefarious plot by demonic developers and special interests. It will not create three new plaza developments. It will not “canyonize” our center city. It will not “La Jollaize” Del Mar. In most organizations, a good plan is a flexible set of guidelines to provide focus and direction. It achieves objectives systematically and gradually. It has built-in feedback loops to measure effectiveness. And it is easily modified if experience so instructs. Probably the most accurate characterization I would use for the VSP is a “process framework” describing the outer limits of potential development spread over six blocks over the next 30 years. It was laid out by professionals with extensive input from citizens. It has clear safeguards to keep it from growing out of control — numerous pause buttons, rewind buttons, reset buttons, and stop buttons. This plan is laid out for gradual change with feedback loops, enumerating a series of thresholds and triggers. When a threshold for growth or height is reached, it triggers an assessment of change at that point to determine if the plan needs to be modified. For instance, when a block gets to 50 percent second stories, a reassessment for that block is triggered. Similarly, when we get developments totalling 70,000 new square feet spread over

six blocks, a reassessment is triggered. All potential view blockages are subject to Design Review Board (DRB) determination. The controls are always in the hands of Del Mar. As a last resort in a worst case scenario, citizens could mount a referendum to force the plan back on the ballot for voter reconsideration. The proposed roundabouts and twolane configuration appear to concern many citizens. These, too, are subject to change. Street changes always remain under the control of the city. A compromise that seems to be appealing to several council members is to experiment with temporary roundabout installations before making a final decision. A very logical spot for a demonstration of roundabout effectiveness would be in the north beach area where there are now two very dysfunctional stop signs with one lane in each direction. Such a demo could help us all learn whether roundabouts improve traffic flow. If not, the center city roundabouts could be removed from the plan. The bottom line is that we retain control over the size and rate of change in downtown, as we have down fairly well in our residential areas. The choice is clear. We can gradually transform our downtown into a pedestrian-friendly center. Or we can resist change which means we continue, like frogs in boiling water, watching increasing automobile traffic defining our town. Bud Emerson, Del Mar

Keep Del Mar a suitable place to raise children As a 45-year resident of Del Mar, plus two years in Carmel Valley, my main concern with the VSP (Village Specific Plan) is that of a mother and grandmother. Like most Del Mar citizens, we are strongly family oriented. Our present population, by census, is around 4,000 residents; add another 500 or so who come here seasonally. We presently have about 35 eating facilities, many of them with bars. I find it somewhat disconcerting that if we have a major influx of restaurants and bars, far beyond the needs of our small community, we would find it difficult to view Del Mar as the place to raise a family, rather than a tourist/party town. Do we really want to raise our children and grandchildren in a town that we presently have, with some modest changes to improve our city hall and certain areas, or in a city with drastic changes, many new restaurants and bars and commercial developments that will mainly serve tourists? Harriet Wadia Del Mar

Help retain sanity — Vote ‘No’ on Proposition J Proposition J will benefit only developers, increase bumper to bumper parking in front of residential homes, traffic through our narrow side streets, crowding, crime, pressure for concrete multi-story parking lots, and overall deterioration in the quality of life in this small beach community. The Del Mar Plaza and hotel are the most recent projects and remain too large for the small population of this City to support. The Plaza was too costly to build, resulting in the necessity for high retail space costs and succeeding in raising costs of retail throughout the rest of the City that only real estate brokers could afford while they contributed to the housing bubble by selling reasonably- priced homes to single small developers who scrapped ocean view lots and built luxury two-story homes with gargantuan basements and bringing profits to both the developer, real estate broker and increasing property values. The economy tanked, the Plaza has been sold three times and the hotel is currently for sale. (Retail rental space is one-quarter empty in the Plaza and has been for the past five years.) How will additional high-priced development that is empty revitalize? The wisest move for us is to continue to enjoy our stable lifestyle and small size while maintaining our successful civil society and community interaction with beach and ocean views without conflict. Let’s reject the new “density bonus” and incentives 2008 State Law just like we rejected the new Chart House Restaurant with blacktop parking lot for our Sea Grove Park. The Power House Park replaced another large restaurant in the planning stage. We gain by wisely saying “No” politely. There are less expensive ways to build low-cost housing for sure. Del Mar is most successful by doing exactly what we have always done which is to protect what we have and let the cities around us go for the gold. Property tax is the largest contributor of revenue in Del Mar. Retail contributes little. Indeed, this is the best beach town in Southern California. Our surfers are healthy and our dogs are friendly. We could always put City Hall in the Plaza and build a larger food market on City Property and possibly regain the town’s camaraderie that we had with Boney’s Market when we all bought our groceries there. All we need is more creativity, less “development,” maybe with a glass and airy two- story simple building with fabulous views and simpler outside dining to replace the Stratford corner old English fake dark and heavy building blocking views and encourage the other commercial building landlords improve and refurbish their buildings and shape up. That is my opinion. It is just that simple. Tell the neighbors. Sharon Feierabend Del Mar

District should come up with something affordable — Vote ‘No’ on high school bond Prop AA I cast the very first “No” vote on the $494 million San Dieguito Union High School bond, called Prop. AA and I think you should join me and vote “No” as well. I was elected to serve on the San Dieguito Union High School board two years ago, on a platform bringing a more business-like approach to our district. While I enjoy serving, I was very sorry that I had to vote “No” on the school bond because I do believe that there are many areas in our school district that need improvement. Unfortunately, this bond is just for too much money, and is trying to be all things to all people. I would describe this bond as having good intentions from good people, but this bond is trying too hard. The administration of our district wanted votes from everybody so they made sure to put a project at every school. Not every school in our district needs improvement. $33,900,000 is budgeted just for our newest school, Canyon Crest

Academy. If you have seen this campus then you would agree that by any measure it is spectacular. Could it use any improvements? Sure, if we had all the money in the world and did not care if we were burdening our children and our grandchildren with enormous 25-40 years of debt! The economy is not good, many people owe more on their homes then they are worth, and we already have world-class schools with highly regarded, well-paid teachers for the most part. Our students’ test scores are through the roof. This is not the time to raise taxes. You need to vote No on Proposition AA and send the message for the school administration and board to go back to the drawing table and come up with something we can all afford. John Salazar Trustee San Dieguito Union High School District

Prop CC does not benefit the education of students — Vote ‘No’ As a parent of a Del Mar Union student, I am voting “no” on Proposition CC (Del Mar 21st Century Classrooms and Technology Measure). I received my voting ballot in the mail, as well as read the five-page bond description on the DMUSD website. The first paragraph states, “These projects (the bond), will support educational programs required by the community.” Reading through the lengthy description of what CC is funding, however, I see almost nothing that benefits my child educationally at all. I have been inside all of the Del Mar Union Schools (except Del Mar Hills Academy), and they appear in excellent condition both inside and out. Six out of the eight schools are fairly new so I question the sections that stress “worn out floors, leaky roofs, window replacement, insulation, upgrade lighting, resource efficiency, improve telephones, removing asbestos (which is not in the schools).” I also question the language that states that the classrooms need to be made accessible for students with disabilities. What exactly is not accessible? I spoke to Special Education teachers who said there are already ramps at the schools and all areas of the schools are accessible according to ADA law. If there are valid structural and access problems, why doesn’t the district take photos of them and put them on the website? There are countless other statements throughout, such as “replace energy management software, upgrade infrastructure, upgrade solar power facilities, storage space for accurate record-keeping” that sound like a waste of money.

The bond further claims that the schools must be “fixed up” in order to attract quality teachers. In reality, there are thousands of very qualified teachers in California, and throughout the country, that have been laid-off the past several years and Del Mar, because of its location and high test scores, gets flooded with hundreds, if not thousands, of applications when there is an opening for a teacher. Reading through the lengthy description of CC, only a tiny section is about “Classroom Technology” and the wording is very vague. What exactly does the district mean by “purchasing portable learning technology equipment?” My husband and I both have master’s degrees and work in technology, but we feel that buying iPads (or whatever the district has in mind), is a waste of money. We are very impressed with the text books (Harcourt and Brace, Houghton Mifflin, Wordly Wise) and question how costly “portable learning devices” (which are easily scratched, broken, and become outdated after only a few years) will really enhance the learning environment at school when the students already have updated computer labs at school. Most households I’m sure also have laptops/desktop computers and smartphones/tablets at home that students can use for homework or further research. We already pay thousands in taxes to Del Mar Union and feel that CC does not benefit the education of students whatsoever. Carla Mapes Torrey Hills

Prop J benefits dubious — vote ‘No’ For Del Mar residents, questionable benefits dictate “ No on Proposition J.” Property owners will be enabled to build taller and larger with more floor space for more occupants and Del Mar residents will be able to attain the ambience of a large city and/or shopping center. A quick analysis of the benefits of Proposition J yields the canyonization of Camino Del Mar, an increase in the number of bars, restaurants, gift shops and boutiques, increased traffic congestion, parking, noise and air pollution spreading into residential neighborhoods and financial costs to the city. A viable alternative, the Camino Del Mar Streetscape Plan, which evolved from extensive city-wide participation, is in existence and has been implemented in part. It is much closer to Del Mar’s way of doing things and is without the dubious benefits of Prop J. Pat and John Giebink Del Mar

Get the Facts: Vote ‘Yes’ on Prop J and stop Village decay I was shocked to read the most recent Facebook post by opponents of Del Mar’s Prop J — the Village Specific Plan. In response to facts posted by Prop J supporters, opponents announced that their Facebook page “is not intended to be a dialog between proponents and opponents” so they are now erasing all public comments that don’t further their cause. This exclusionary philosophy on a public Facebook page where anyone can view and comment is counter to the spirit of the social media paradigm . If opponents really believe the facts are on their side, why are they censoring all comments by Prop J supporters? As I’ve read the claims by opponents, it is pretty clear to me they are relying on misinformation and falsehoods. That would explain why they want to avoid a dialogue based on facts on the plan. Hundreds of Del Mar residents volunteered thousands of hours helping develop the Village Specific Plan. Ninety public meetings were held over a twoyear period to obtain public input and make adjustments to the plan. It was unanimously approved by our Planning Commission and City Council. The biggest benefit of this plan is a reduction in traffic congestion on Camino del Mar. So it’s quite disappointing that opponents of the plan are misrepresenting these provisions. Proposition J will increase the carrying capacity of Camino del Mar from 900 vehicles per hour to 1,600 vehicles per hour, a 78 percent increase in traffic flow with a consequent reduction in congestion. Less congestion means less spill-over traffic in our neighborhoods. Please get the facts by going to www.fordelmar. com. Vote “Yes” on J and stop village decay! Howard Gad Del Mar

Police should not be ticketing parents dropping off kids curbside on El Camino Real Since there’s no bus service to Torrey Pines High School, I — like thousands of other parents — must ferry my children to school. TPHS was designed in an age of bus service and struggles to support the daily influx of passenger cars. [On a recent] morning there were two motorcycle cops handing out tickets to parents who drop their kids off curbside on El Camino Real. This drop-off area has been used for years and is executed in an orderly fashion and relieves traffic to the other corridors in/out of TPHS. It is quite disappointing to see police officers ticketing parents who are simply dropping kids off to attend school. They’re not running red lights or speeding. They’re not making illegal turns. There is no traffic danger and, as I mentioned, it is done in an orderly fashion. I understand there are “no stopping signs” posted, however, the road is enormous with three lanes plus a bike lane. A safe and orderly process happens every day and I have yet to see any issues of accidents. I’ve spoken with former students and parents who talk about using this drop-off point for more than a decade with not one reported incident. It is very disappointing to see peace officers causing commotion by ticketing citizens rather than targeting real crime issues. I would request that school administration work with the police department to persuade them not harass people simply driving their kids to school. The curb could be marked for drop-off/pickup. Or the police could just let the system function like it has for many years at Torrey Pines. There are real issues in the city, but parents dropping kids off is not one of them. Please come to our defense. Be our voice. Be our advocate. It takes considerable time to ferry kids to/from school each day. The process should be as quick as possible so citizens can attend to other tasks, like working to earn a living to pay for police officers and schools. Won’t you please contact the local police department chief and facilitate a relationship that does not see parents ticketed for trying to get their kids to school on time and their own self to work on time.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Don’t let Del Mar decline, vote ‘Yes’ on Prop J Most people agree that downtown Del Mar needs revitalizing. Decaying buildings, overgrown empty lots, and few residentserving shops as well as competition from revitalized neighbor cities mean continued decline for Del Mar unless something is done. Even the Plaza on a Friday night is less vibrant now than years past and certainly when compared to Del Mar Highlands or downtown Encinitas. Most people agree that change is necessary, so why the strident opposition to Prop. J? Some people are afraid of change, no matter what it is. Recall the opposition to the Plaza, the L’Auberge and the sidewalk cafés that have actually re-invigorated 15th Street. Many people like elements of the Village Specific Plan, such as wider sidewalks and small residences downtown, but many are afraid that the one lane and roundabout configuration will drive people down bypass streets. That is a reasonable concern and the city has listened and agreed to put aside $100,000 for future traffic mitigation on these streets, should it be needed. However, traffic engineers have reported that the roundabouts significantly increase the efficiency of traffic flow so people are less likely to go down side streets looking for a short cut. The city should assure residents on side streets that if Prop J passes and traffic becomes more of a problem, they will address it. Still other people are opposed to Prop J because they claim their input was not solicited and that it is a “top down” measure, yet the city conducted 90 meetings with residents to obtain their feedback. Why didn’t more of those who are opposed participate in these meetings? It may be because people in Del Mar are so used to meetings that

don’t go anywhere, that they only mobilized when it became clear something might finally change. Those who did participate were listened to, and the city responded, in writing, to all written comments, with many changes incorporated in the final plan. Some of the changes included reducing total development potential and adding development thresholds. Some people are opposed to Prop J because they claim the measure will do nothing to promote redevelopment because it is too restrictive and yet others claim the exact opposite, that it will promote rampant overdevelopment. How can both be true? It appears that a fear of change is leading people to distort the facts. For the Village Specific Plan to be adopted, the city had to complete an environmental impact report. The alternative with one lane and roundabouts was recommended because it offers a proven solution that supports higher traffic volume with less air and noise pollution and better pedestrian safety. This is necessary because the city needs to mitigate existing traffic problems as well as those which may arise from Prop J. If Prop J fails, nothing will happen in Del Mar for years because most of those who have spent untold hours on this project will give up. Del Mar will slowly decline. Sales and business tax revenue will drop, property taxes, which are declining for the first time, will continue their decline, buildings will continue to deteriorate and empty lots will remain. Once downtowns decline, residential property values typically follow. It’s your choice. Get the facts and don’t let fear drive your decision. Richard Levak, Del Mar

JUST IN!!

Proposition J: The Planning Department wasn’t listening Numerous meetings held with Del Mar residents concluded that: (1) The downtown has no vitality. (2) Residents don’t like what has been built. (3) Residents want better quality commercial . . . not more of it. (4) Downtown Del Mar has a parking problem. Del Mar’s commercial district is mostly non-descript old buildings that were given back-door permits for uses way beyond their ability to provide parking for those uses. The City’s current parking problem is empirical proof that this happened. The City’s planning and design review process has created beautiful residential properties, but that same process failed in developing the downtown. Why did it fail? Overly restrictive parking standards and no codeenforcement created the

current situation; and Proposition J, which proposes to concentrate even more discretionary power in the Planning Department, will not correct it. A Village Specific Plan that requires commercial property owners to convert their private parking into public parking . . . in return for reasonable parking standards . . . will not incentivize the re-development of Del Mar. The parking requirements for “Privately Owned Properties” (page VII-14 of the Parking Element of the Village Specific Plan) states: (a) Require all new development to construct the required parking as “public parking” when utilizing the ‘Park-Once’ parking standards. (b) Require that the current DMMC land use specific parking ratios be applied to developments where parking is not made avail-

able to the general public through the ‘Park-Once’ approach. (c) Require existing development to open private parking to the public when applying the ‘Park-Once’ parking standards for intensification or change of use. I encourage you to read Amendments 10 and 14 to the Constitution, which prevents public taking of private property rights. Is “PROP J” extortion? I’m in favor of revitalization. Currently my building is the only commercial property in Del Mar being revitalized. It can be the poster-child for Del Mar’s revitalization. But if it continues to sit vacant for another four years while the City bargains for my parking garage, it will become a symbol of Del Mar’s failed planning process.

cation dollars are scarce and must be wisely allocated. The top two issues are: 1. Preserving the sound fiscal practices that have served the district so well and continuing to implement cost saving measures, district-wide, so that not a single hard-fought education dollar is wasted. 2. Finding new and creative solutions within current and future budget constraints to avoid program cuts as well as championing the addition of innovative programs which further enhance learning opportunities available to our students. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issues in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? Our board has already established a solid foundation for dealing with the challenging fiscal issues

HERGESHEIMER continued from page 13 tion that has been proven to produce achievement and success. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? 1) Fair and adequate state funding is a key issue for the public school system. Ongoing state budget concerns and under-funded state and federally mandated programs are financial burdens that require our district continue to be fiscally frugal, keeping money as close to the classroom as possible while continuing to

issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? Unfortunately, squeeze more. Many of the consultants and vendors used by the district have been in place for multiple years. As renewals come up the board must question whether internal resources can be used to avoid additional layoffs, whether other options are available to reduce the cost, and whether the cost is necessary. Also, the district must look for and cure inequitable situations. Significant cuts have already been

that we have faced these past four years. We are very conservative with regard to our expenditures, maximizing our dollars in every way that we can while prudently planning for the future. We have been at the cutting edge of community partnerships, shared-use agreements, and conservation programs. We have costcutting measures in place in every department in every school. We manage our precious dollars through belttightening, streamlining, creativity, and outstanding cooperation among students, parents and parent organizations, teachers, staff, and school administrators. We must continue with these sound principles to ensure that our district continues on solid financial footing. What we have accomplished, and will continue to pursue, include: •Preservation of the General Fund Reserve. In spite of $38 million in cuts and lost revenue to the dis-

trict over the past five years, our General Fund reserve is currently at $13 million. This has kept, and will continue to keep, our district out of the red; •Continuation of the budget reduction process that keeps cuts as far away from the classroom as possible, while preserving a full school year and all academic programs; •Continuation of our focus on improving student achievement, thus preserving our standing as one of the top school districts in the state and in the nation; •Retention of the best and brightest teaching staff without resorting to massive layoffs. It is important to both preserve and build on what our community values in our school district. We have been and will continue to be known for high academic performance, fiscal responsibility, and incredibly positive working relationships with staff and community.

seek more stable and equitable funding. We have continuously worked within budget while striving to provide opportunities for student achievement. As a current board member and previously as PTA representative, bringing funding and other issues concerning the education community to the attention of our State Legislators has been an ongoing effort. During these fiscally challenging times we have seen all of our schools make progress, (five have API scores exceeding 900!), but know that there are more gains to be made, with best practices to share and implement among our campuses. Building on the collaborative efforts of our school

board, school administrators, teachers, staff, parents and our community partners so that we can create an ever better school district and a stronger community for all students will be an ongoing effort toward which I commit my districtwide relationships and experience. 2) Maintaining our high levels of achievement while making additional strides in student performance is an important goal, and a complex issue. 3) Maintaining and developing the cooperative partnership between students, teachers, parents, and administration that has been proven to produce achievement and success.

made to maintenance and technology support. As a parent in the district, I have seen my kid’s class sizes grow. To avoid operating at a deficit more cuts will probably be necessary and they will need to come from areas that have not already been hit. Don’t do long-term bonds for short-term problems. While there are current long-term capital needs, a bond that will still need to be paid by our children’s children is not the answer. Realistic, right-sized bond initiatives will need to be developed in order to get

taxpayer support. Keep local money local. District staff has indicated the annual impact due to the Fair Share agreement is approaching six million. This arrangement impacting all Basic Aid districts in the state was started without it going to a vote by the local boards. Board members are the voice of the taxpayers and the community. Before we give up our “fair share” we have to require we get reimbursed for our “fair share” of the cost of mandates passed down by the State and Federal government.

Inspiring Minds Speaker Series features Gloria Steinem Leader in Feminist Movement draws 1,300 to Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO On July 10, 1971, Gloria Steinem, along with other feminist leaders including Betty Friedan, Myrlie Evers, Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug, founded the National Women’s Political Caucus and delivered her memorable “Address to the Women of America,” which launched the Feminist Movement: “This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy, visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups, and into the cheap labor on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen, or those earned. We are really talking about Humanism.” Today, 41 years later, at age 78, Steinem is still espousing The Movement. She spoke before a crowd of 1,300 on Oct. 10 as the inaugural guest of the Inspiring Minds Speaker Series of the Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley. At the podium the slim, 5’ 9” American icon attired in black explained why feminism is “The Longest Revolution.” “Reproductive freedom for women around the world would singularly solve most societal and environmental problems,” Steinem insisted. “When somebody tells you the feminist movement is over, today’s young women are not interested in the cause, that’s NOT what the polls show. “Young women are vitally concerned about class, race, sex, gender roles, workplace issues, domestic violence – all these are

Gloria Steinem at the Inspiring Minds Speaker Series of the Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley linked and tied … and there are no boundaries. “You talk about foreign policy? If there is violence against women in the home, there will be violence in the streets and in that country’s government.” Since 9/11, Steinem said, there have been more women killed by boyfriends and husbands than in 9/11, Iran and Afghanistan combined. Addressing the equal pay for equal work issue, Steinem pointed out that around the globe, “men profit from the unpaid, underpaid labor of women.” The situation begs a call to action, she said. “Do not be afraid of conflict. It produces energy,” Steinem said. “(In an unjust situation) you must ask for what you want. Talk to your co-workers to find out what they get paid. Change your job. Bring legal action.” Steinem challenged those listening to work for the full humanity of both

men and women. “If we are honest,” she said, “we’ll acknowledge the folly of gender labels that suppress us. This masculine dominance/ feminine submission business is not good for anyone.” To prove her point, Steinem quoted studies that show men who actively participate in child-rearing, live three years longer than those who relinquish the role to their wives. “It’s time to change. Time to understand the roots of the tree we can’t see,” she said of the way society has evolved. “We can challenge what’s out there as the norm with what we do with our votes, our dollars. If each of us behaves as if everything we do matters; we can make a difference. I’m a hope-aholic.” Steinem had parenting advice for the next generation of feminists. “Some mothers say to me, ‘My daughter doesn’t know who you are!’ I just laugh and say, ‘That’s OK, does she know who SHE is?’ “Listen to your daughters and encourage them to follow their bliss, to work at a job where the time flies by and they’re happy and fully engaged. The worst thing you can tell them is that girls can be anything they want because that’s a lie! Girls run into boundaries and then think it’s their fault. “And don’t tell them they can have it all. They can’t. No one can. Your duty is to love and protect your child so she can become who she already is.” Taking questions from the audience, Steinem was challenged by a young woman who said her nonconformist, multi-cultured background sometimes causes her pain … confu-

About Gloria Steinem Born: March 25, 1934; Toledo, Ohio Parents: Mother, Ruth, Presbyterian of Scottish/German descent; father, Leo, son of Jewish immigrants from Germany/ Poland. When Steinem was 3, her mother, then 34, had a “nervous breakdown” that left her an invalid. Her parents later divorced. Spouse: David Bale (m 2000–2003 deceased), father of actor Christian Bale Education: Smith College, 1956 Career highlights: Journalist/social and political activist who became a leader of the women’s liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s; co-founded Ms Magazine, 1972; testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in favor of the Equal Rights Amendment, 1970; insion. Steinem’s response drew a standing ovation. “You know,” she said, “the most dangerous time for a woman is when she’s just left … when she’s escaping control … this may be an analogy for our country.

The Godfather keeps no secrets from those who love Italian dishes BY KELLEY CARLSON ust 100 feet outside The Godfather restaurant, in San Diego’s Kearny Mesa neighborhood, drivers zip along busy Clairemont Mesa Boulevard en route to work or to shop, day and night; a modernday suburbia to be sure. But inside the Italian establishment, it’s as if time has stood still. Guests are transported back to the “Old World mob” days, in an environment that almost seems secretive with its minimal lighting and candles. The partitioned, plush red booths along the dark-paneled walls in the dining room offer plenty of privacy; there are also centrally located white-andred clothed tables that can accommodate two or more people. Casually social patrons may opt for the bar, where they can gather on stools or in booths and chat, or watch various programming on the TV. At the front of the restaurant, from 6 p.m. to close Thursday through Saturday, pianist Scott Skinner — who has been at The Godfather for 34 years — plays a mix of music and takes requests. When he’s not tickling the ivories, music by Rat Pack members such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin can be heard in the background. For further proof that time doesn’t change at The Godfather: Its hours of operation have been the same since it opened in 1974. Though the restaurant is elegant -- made even more obvious by the fact that the waiters wear full tuxes — it’s not pretentious, said Anthony Balistreri, who co-owns the restaurant with his parents, Isidoro and Maria Balistreri. “It’s timeless ... from the menu to the decor to the service,” Anthony Balistreri added. One of the favored entrees tends to be the Veal Chop, with a port wine demi-glace and porcini mushrooms. Other signature dishes include the Filet Mignon Alla Godfather, a steak cut of beef that is butterflied with prosciutto, mozzarella, mushrooms, marinara and Barolo wine; Speciale Dello Chef Isidoro, consisting of seasoned and breaded veal stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella,

J The dimly-lit dining room features intimate booths and tables. A framed image of actor Marlon Brando from ‘The Godfather’ films is prominently displayed.

Penne Alla Puttanesca consists of penne pasta in tomato sauce with olives, capers, basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and oregano.

Patrons can relax and socialize in the bar.

The Sea Bass is prepared with white wine, lemon and butter.

Conner’s Cause for Children’s annual benefit gala is Oct. 27 Conner’s Cause for Children will hold its 19th annual benefit gala, “Fall Fiesta,” on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 5:30 p.m., at Café Coyote in Old Town, San Diego. Proceeds from this event will benefit families with the monumental task of caring for a child with a life threatening illness. Travel back in time for a taste of California History and traditional Mexican cuisine at Café Coyote in Old Town San Diego, the birthplace of California. The event will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, silent auction, dinner and live auction. Conner was diagnosed with a fatal brain cancer when he was just 4 years old. In 10 months, his family had to cope with his diagnosis, treatment, death and thousands of dollars in medical bills. Conner passed away on July 18, 1994, but his legacy lives on in this foundation. The organization provides assistance through a number of ways, including alleviating transportation and food expenses associated with caring for a sick child, co-payments for medical care and medication, outof-pocket costs for medical equipment, outof-pocket costs for in-home care and increased phone or utility costs related to caring for the child. The foundation also works intimately with families to discover supplementary

sources of help, including referrals to other helpful agencies, foundations and supporters. Order tickets online at www.connerscause.org. Regular ticket price: $110. Accepting auction donations. Sponsorship opportunities available. For more information, contact Karen Gliner (619) 540-1650 or go to www.connerscause.org. Two-year-old Cinthia was born with short gut syndrome and is totally dependent on a feeding tube for her very complicated nutritional needs. Cinthia’s mother has a hard time making ends meet and struggles to cover her family’s basic needs as well as cover all the out of pocket costs associated with Cinthia’s complicated care needs. The recent heat wave in our area posed a particular danger to medically fragile Cinthia, who cannot tolerate extremes in temperature. Her mother turned to Conner’s Cause for Children to request an air conditioner to keep Cinthia and her siblings comfortable in their tiny, one room apartment in the East County. Because Conner’s Cause is a locally based organization and can respond immediately to urgent needs, we were able to have a new, energy efficient air-conditioner delivered to Cinthia’s family within a week of her mother’s request.

Del Mar bronze sculptor takes risks and gives back

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Del Mar resident Maidy Morhous has been making sculptures since she was 8 years old — carving blocks, putting together models, assembling jewelry. Her mother, an oil painter and watercolorist, used to buy her paints, but Morhouse always gravitated toward 3D art of any kind. She loved it so much that sometimes she’d simply find things and glue them together. Morhous followed through

with her passion, getting a master’s degree in fine art and working as a professional etcher and printmaker in Los Angeles for more than a decade. But her childhood calling was still alive, and when she moved to Del Mar about 25 years ago she started focusing on sculpture — which was a big risk, she said, because wall art is much easier to sell than 3D art. “When people want art for their homes, they tend to think about wall art,” she said. “When it comes to sculpture, it’s a whole different way of thinking.” But she never looked back. Morhous sells her sculptures out of her Del Mar home in addition to showing and selling them all over the world. Here in San Diego she serves as the exhibition chair for the San Diego Museum of Art Artists Guild and her work is being featured at the Lyceum Gallery in the guild’s current show, “Exits and Entrances,” Maidy Morhous, a Del Mar resident of 25 through Oct. 21.

‘Words By Ira Gershwin’ to have world premiere at North Coast Rep BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT When you think of a Gershwin tune, like “I Got Rhythm,” you probably think of the tune as being the song. But a song is not a song without lyrics, and George Gershwin’s older brother, Ira, was responsible for some of the best. “Words By,” a world premiere about Ira Gershwin that opens at North Coast Repertory Theatre Oct. 20, is giving the unsung brother a chance to be heard. There’s a classic words-and-music story about Mrs. Jerome Kern and Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein at a party where someone says: Mrs. Kern’s husband wrote ‘Ol’ Man River.’ Mrs. Hammerstein cuts in with: “Her husband wrote ‘Dah-dah DEE-dah.’ MY husband wrote ‘Ol’ Man River!’ ” Ira Gershwin had a gift for making melodies sing. George was the mover and shaker, already a hit-maker at age 20 with “Swanee” (words by Irving Caesar, sung by Al Jolson), but Ira and he became an unbeatable team in 1924, starting with “Lady Be Good,” the Broadway musical that introduced Fred and Adele Astaire and “Fascinatin’ Rhythm.” And they kept at it until George’s untimely death in 1937, at age 38. Though devastated by the loss of his brother, Ira lived almost 50 years longer, and went on to write with other composers, like Harold Arlen. Remember the film “A Star is Born,” where Judy Garland sings “The Man That Got Away”? Words by Ira Gershwin. “Words By” was conceived and written by Joe Vass, a Minnesota music man who thought it was time for a companion piece to his tribute to George, “The Soul of Gershwin,” which played at the (now-defunct) Coconut Grove Playhouse in Florida. The producer there, who had worked with NCRT director David Ellenstein, suggested that “Words By” and NCRT might be a perfect match. What could have been a one-man show turned out to be one man, two singers, and a four-man band, including playwright/pianist Vass.

“Ira talks to the audience and the singers help him tell his story,” Vass said. “And the band, onstage all the time, is a character, too.” To play that character, Vass assembled some well-known local musicians: Gunnar Biggs (Bass), Bob Boss (Guitar), and Duncan Moore (Drums). Ellenstein brought in Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, a transplanted New Yorker now based in Los Angeles, to play Ira; this is his first appearance at NCRT. His partners in rhyme and music are singer-songwriter Meghan Andrews, another LA-based New Yorker, who gave a concert here two years ago, and London-born actor/singer Andrew Ableson, who has appeared in two previous shows at NCRT. All three come from musical families: Nick’s mother is an opera singer who also performed American Songbook classics; his father is a harpsichordist. Meghan’s parents — a jazz singer and a composer — met as part of Fred Waring’s band. Andrew’s dad was a famous crooner, known as “the English Tony Bennett.” All three have impressive credits, and grew up knowing and loving Gershwin songs. Probably the best-known, most-performed Gershwin song is “Summertime,” but Ira did not write that one, though he received co-credit for the lyrics in “Porgy and Bess” and surely helped refine them. In fact, DuBose Heyward, who wrote both the libretto and the novel on which the opera was based, did most of the lyrics, with the exception of “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” which is all Ira. That still leaves dozens of other huge hits to consider, like “Strike up the Band,” “The Man I Love,” “’S Wonderful,” “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” If you love words and music, don’t miss “Words By,” a time-trip through the golden age of American song. If it’s a hit, it will play all over the country. And you can say you saw and heard it here first.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Company takes care of a variety of needs related to aging adults BY CLAIRE HARLIN For the busy family that’s consumed with work, kids and maybe even kids’ kids, one of the most dreadful things to encounter is putting an elderly loved one into a nursing home or trying to decide what kind of healthcare plan they need for the rest of their years. This is a common and often crushing predicament that Colleen Van Horn recognized decades ago, prompting her to start a business that would lift the burden, which is often fueled by the emotional attachment to the loved one and added tasks and stress on the family. In 1997 she opened the doors to Innovative Healthcare Consultants, Inc., which assists individuals and families in North County and greater San Diego with the challenges that come with aging. Starting with an extensive two- to three-hour interview and evaluation of the client, a team of consultants put together a written report with extensive recommendations to fit the individual in need, whether approaching old age or well into it.

“We look at all their reports and what their doctors are saying. We know about their home set-up and what they physically can and cannot do. We know about the disease processes and how things progress or can keep from progressing,” said Van Horn, who worked as a registered nurse for years before starting the company. “Often times we get to know them better than their children know them, and we can make a good plan free of the emotional attachment family members have.” A client’s long-term healthcare plan might consist of a variety of things, such as getting to and from doctor appointments, assisted living or scheduling home visits with particular tasks and goals in mind. The plan also seeks to fit the client’s financial flexibility, and deals with legal matters such as trusts and powers of attorney. “It’s when people need someone to take control and manage every aspect of their life but also protect them and their independence,” she said. Van Horn said getting started

on the right plan early is beneficial in regard to disease progression. In diseases such as dementia, she said, proper care at the onset of memory loss can keep it from progressing as rapidly. She said some conditions can often be reversible when proper nutrition, hygiene and exercise are facilitated by home health aides, which the company coordinates. “It’s good to not only help the family through the decision-making, but to have someone in the client’s home to guide them through the process,” she said, adding that even when a spouse is present, caring for a loved one can cause stress and lack of sleep. Often spouses are also battling their own health conditions. “When adult kids are getting calls from their parents at all times of the day and trying to plan their healthcare and assistance, it’s hard to find the time,” Van Horn said. “For us, that’s what we do. We can get things taken care of in 15 minutes so you are not having to make calls on your lunch break.” Van Horn has long had a passion for geriatric care — she’s a

3rd Annual Amanda Post Memorial Golf Tournament The 3rd Annual Amanda Post Memorial Golf Tournament was held Sept. 24 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in honor of Amanda Post who perished in a terrible multi-car accident on Aug. 9, 2010. Amanda had just graduated with honors from Cathedral Catholic High School and was scheduled to attend Cal Poly SLO on a track scholarship in the fall of 2010. Amanda was the CIF 800 meter gold medal winner and ran the anchor for the gold medalwinning Cathedral Catholic 4 x 400 meter relay team. She also went to the State Championships in June of 2010. Nate McCay, Jacqueline Bridge, Louie Neiheisel, Ann von Gal Amanda, her trainer, her assistant trainer, a track teammate, and Amanda’s boyfriend, Derek Thomas, were all returning from a high altitude Olympic training camp at Mammoth Mountain when she perished in a multi-car accident just south of Bishop, Calif. Amanda’s family established the Amanda Post Memorial Scholarship Fund administered by the San Diego Foundation to provide scholarships for female student athletes graduating from high schools in San Diego County, who have outstanding grades, are entering a four-year university the coming fall, and will run competitively for their college NCAA cross country and/ or track team each year. The proceeds from the Amanda Post Memorial Golf Fred and Susan Holliger, Mike and Maribeth Maher Tournament goes to provide these scholarships. In just two years, 10 scholarships have already been awarded to outstanding female student-athletes who are running competitively for their universities all across the country.

How ’bout them apples? BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The baseball playoffs, crisp cooler climes, and the invasion of apples at groceries and farmer’s markets are the herald of autumn. The divine apple, the quintessential fruit of fall is a complex, multi-tasking powerhouse with thousands of varieties worldwide to please the most discriminating palate. Here’s a primer to help you navigate through the shoals of apple’s world so you can get the most from this season’s bounty.

The Kitchen Shrink

The Apple of my Pie Apples have swelled into roughly 10,000 varieties around the world. Each has their fortes, and not all varieties are ideal for every use. The Ambrosia is a great hand-held munching apple, aromatic and crisp, and since its juicy white flesh does not oxidize and brown quickly it’s perfect for salads and especially picky kids’ lunches. Same with the Pink Lady, a cross between a Golden Delicious and Lady Williams, this crisp white flesh resists browning when sliced, but needs to be kept cool as heat zaps its flavor. The sweet and spicy Fuji is a natural for applesauce, while the tart, tiny Crab apple is ideal for whipping up jelly, wine or apple butter. And the Winesap, true to its name, has a wine-like flavor so makes a great cider, and holds its full-bodied flavor when cooked or baked, great in sauces and pies. The Gravenstein is an all-purpose pomme, crisp, juicy and tart it’s popular in pies, cakes, muffins, applesauce and good for juicing. For sweet tooths the Gala is a great snacking apple, as well as good in cobblers and baked apples, requiring little added sweeteners. The Granny Smith while super tart is a fave for eating out of hand and using in cobblers, pies, strudels, pancakes and salads, although honey or brown sugar is needed to balance the flavor. The Red Delicious has its limitations; although a good hand held snack, it does not do well in baked dishes. Same with close cousin McIntosh, so juicy it flops in pies as it becomes runny. As a rule of thumb, the best baking apples are firm and balance sweetness and tartness.

There Must be 50 Ways to Use your Apple • Spud Patrol–To keep potatoes fresh and prevent sprouting, simply toss an apple in the bag of tubers. • Chicken Tenders–To roast a juicy, flavorful, tender chicken stuff the cavity with a raw apple before cooking. • Time is Ripe–Since apples release ethylene gas, they’re nature’s ripening agents. Place an apple in a paper bag with unripe peaches, bananas, tomatoes for two days. Conversely, if you do not want your fruits to ripen quickly, keep apple away. • Let them Eat Cake — Keep cakes moist and fresh longer by placing a cut apple with the stored baked good. • Take it with a Grain of Salt–A little ham-handed with the saltshaker? To absorb excess sodium from your soups or stews pop a half an apple into the pot, and remove the salt-laden fruit within 15 minutes. • Sugar-coated –To soften crusty brown sugar, place a slice of apple in the storage bag, and it will miraculously soften within a day or two. The Simple Superfruit The humble apple is frequently pushed to the produce sidelines by flashier competitors touted for their superfruit status. An apple a day might not just keep the doctor away, but the oncologist, rheumatologist, allergist, cardiologist and endocrinologist too. Apples provide a motherlode of anti-oxidants especially Vitamin C, flavanoids and polyphenols, soluble fiber and minerals. Researchers have linked apples to putting the skids on osteoporosis and dialing up bone density, alleviating wheezing symptoms in asthmatic children and joint pain in arthritics, protecting brain cells from free-radical damage, lowering cholesterol with powerhouse pectin, reducing various cancer risks, and keeping insulin levels at bay. Packed with quercetin, apples slow the release of histamines, thereby giving allergy relief. For migraine pain, cut a green apple in half and sniff away to ward off brain throbbing. Pick a Winner Look for taut, wrinkle-free skin (don’t we all want that), and a fresh, aromatic scent. And since apples are on the top of the “Dirty Dozen” list of fruits that contain high levels of pesticide residues, where possible buy organic. My fall contribution is this delectable strudel that’s as easy as apple pie. (See box.) For additional apple recipes, email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.

Easy, Breezy Apple Strudel 2 sheets artisan puff pastry 8 to 10 large cooking apples, peeled, sliced thinly ½ cup golden raisins 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup brown sugar (1/2 if using Granny’s) 1 tablespoon apricot preserves 1 beaten egg

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
