High school district considers bond measure San Dieguito Union considers three contracts this week BY MARSHA SUTTON The San Dieguito Union High School District will consider contracts related to placing a general obligation bond on an upcoming ballot, at the district’s Feb. 2 board meeting. Three items will be presented to SDUHSD trustees Thursday night. All recommended contracts were selected from published Requests for Proposals. The first item is to award a contract to the Dolinka Group of Irvine for financial advisory services. Dolinka was selected out of seven candidates. The board report states that the district is recommending that the board ap-

Board votes for multi-use trail separated from the roadway BY KAREN BILLING Anyone who has driven on the El Camino Real bridge with a cyclist alongside knows that sharing the road can be a tight squeeze. While the new bridge with the future re-alignment and widening of El Camino Real will afford a little more room, the San Diego River Park Joint Powers Authority wants to ensure a safe crossing for all users over the riverbed. Last week the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted 9-4 in support of the river park’s efforts to make sure the bridge design includes a multi-use trail separated from the roadway. The widening of El Camino Real, from San Dieguito Road to Via de la Valle will also involve realigning the road to the east and removing the old, 1920s bridge. Original plans included saving the old bridge to use as a trail connection, but the JPA has acknowledged that it cannot take responsibility for maintaining that bridge and it will be demolished. As the planning for the widening has been going on See BRIDGE, Page 6

Police advise caution as burglaries continue BY KAREN BILLING The burglary series that affected Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights area homes late last year has continued into the new year, according to Carmel Valley Northwestern Division’s Sergeant Ernesto Servin. “The burglary series has become a much bigger problem than we initially anticipated back in October,” said Servin at the Jan. 26 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting.

The series has now stretched to include 38 crimes all over the county from Carmel Valley to La Mesa, linked by similar methods used to break into and steal from the home. Sometimes homeowners don’t even discover the crime right away because of the methodical nature of the suspects, taking jewelry and valuables that are left in the open and disturbing little else in the See BURGLARIES, Page 6

prove Dolinka “to provide financial advisory services related to placing the GO bond measure on the June 5, 2012 or November 6, 2012 ballot.” This is Phase 1. If the GO bond is approved by voters, Dolinka will then provide “financial advisory services regarding the issuance of the bonds” from “the period January 20, 2012 until completion of bond authorizations.” This is Phase 2. The fee would be $20,000 for Phase 1 and $65,000 for Phase 2. Funding for this is listed as “campaign donations and future See BOND, Page 6

Flower Hill upgrade on schedule BY JOE TASH A $25 million expansion and renovation of the Flower Hill Promenade shopping center on Via De La Valle is moving forward on schedule, and a new Whole Foods market and other businesses could be open by the end of the year.

CV PLANNING BOARD; JAN. 26 MEETING: BY KAREN BILLING Principal looking for help with “dangerous” crosswalks at Solana Highlands Solana Highlands Principal Jerry Jones visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board seeking help with a safety issue on his campus. Jones said he encourages his community to use the crosswalks but he fears that the crossings at High Bluff Drive and Lady Hill Drive, and Long Run Drive and Candela Place, are not as safe as he would like due to visibility issues. “When cars are coming west to turn right into the school driveway, they don’t see the kids because cars are in the way,” Jones said. “It’s pretty dangerous.” He wants to explore the possibility of enhancing the crosswalks so they’re more visible, possibly with blinking lights like those used in the Del Mar village. Several Carmel Valley schools have faced the same issues — the problem was seen at Carmel Del Mar, situated on a sloped and curved Carmel Park Drive. The school has had a traffic engineer come out and look at the issue and has also had assistance from the police department’s Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP), having a police car near campus works to slow speeds through the school zone. Sage Canyon School uses a safety patrol that recently won an award from the police department for being the best safety patrol for the 2011-12 school year. The board encouraged Jones to contact city staff and explore the use of a safety pa-

trol or extra assistance from the RSVP. Problems with oversized vehicles in Carmel Valley Residents in Regents Square off Quarter Mile Drive in Carmel Valley are complaining about the “eyesore” of oversized and commercial vehicles continually parked along their street. During public comment at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, resident Kim Wilson said many of the vehicles are repeat offenders and their owners know the rules and how to get around them. Per San Diego Municipal Code, no vehicle can be parked continuously at one location on any public roadway for more than 72 hours. Wilson said the owners will just move the boats and vehicles around on the same street. Planning board chair Frisco White said it was not the first time they’ve heard of this issue. “It’s been on our plate for many, many years,” White said. Mel Millstein, a representative for District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office, said that an oversized vehicle ordinance has been discussed at the city council level in the past. Board member Debbie Lokanc also wondered about the possibility of doing limited parking on that street, a method that has been successful in neighborhoods around San Diego State University. For now, people can report vehicles parked longer than 72 hours by calling (858)

Solana Pacific students line up for vegetables from school garden BY KAREN BILLING During lunchtime recently at Solana Pacific School, students came flying across the blacktop as soon as they had been set free from classes. They weren’t racing for the first game on the handball court or to take over the tetherball pole, they were racing to get in line for salad. Yes, truly, salad. “We just had to run over,” said sixth grader Alli Abramowitz with her friends in tow. “The potatoes and broccoli are the best.” “No, the beets are the best!” countered her friends Alice Shashkina and Katherine Solovyeva. The kids were excited to sample the latest and freshest offerings harvested from Solana Pacific’s own organic garden, located on the edge of the blacktop. When vegetables are ready, they’re harvested and served up by parent volunteers to grateful students at lunch. Students come over to try the garden treats by choice and they come in bunches. Parent Hallie Worsey has been supervising the garden for the last six years — she started when her daughter was a fifth grade student at Solana Pacific. The garden beds had been built with the school in 2004, but they remained empty so Worsey decided to take them on herself. “It’s been a lot of research, experimenting and talking to other gardeners,” Worsey said. Now the garden is green and flourishing with beds full of dill, Swiss chard, lettuce, cilantro, parsley, beans, green onions, carrots, baby arugula, cauliflower, broccoli, beets, radishes and a jungle of enthusiastic sweet peas. There are a few cheerful marigolds

and sunflowers should pop up in the coming months. There is also a giant, “killer radish” named “Mr. McBride’s Radish” for the school principal Brian McBride. For now the potato bed is bare as 65 pounds were harvested a few weeks ago and served up to very excited children who had lined up across the blacktop. “We couldn’t keep up with [the demand],” volunteer Karin Karin Kuiper, left, and Hallie Worsey harvest Kuiper remarked. lettuce to make salads for Solana Pacific Alice Shashkina, Alli Abramowitz, Carine You and “Kids came back for seconds students the next day. Katherine Solovyeva grab salad from the garden last and thirds,” Worsey said. Recently, children came back week. for seconds and thirds, as well, on the salad with sweet radishes and carrots, peas and green onions. Kuiper drizzled a little of their choice of Italian or Ranch dressing on the side of their plates and the students gobbled up the greens. “The garden is awesome,” said fifth grader Deanne Allouche. Volunteer parents do most of the harvesting for the garden alFifth-graders Sue Lee, Nina Mao and Chloe Chan though, when appropriate, the students can help. Because harvesting requires some extra supervision, Worsey can’t let the kids help harvest everything, but they did help harvest the potatoes. “They were like badgers, they were so excited to get in there and just dig,” Worsey said. Worsey said this will be her last year supervising the garden and she hopes that someone will step forward so it will continue to be something special at Solana Pacific. “I’m going to miss it,” Worsey said. “It can be a really big chunk of time, just like any garStudents line up for veggies.

A perfect season: The undefeated Torrey Pines Jr. Midget Falcons win another National Championship It’s been an incredible year for this squad of 19 TPPW Jr. Midget Intermediate cheerleaders. They just ended their perfect season by capturing another “National Champion” title at the JAMZ National Championship in Las Vegas on Jan. 29. This amazing team has danced, tumbled, stunted and jumped their way to first place in all of their five competitions which included two “National Championship” titles. No other team in the history of TPPW has accomplished this magnificent feat. Having a “Perfect Season” doesn’t come easy. This group of 11 - 14 year olds from Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe started on this rewarding journey back in August 2011. They practiced four days a week in August and then three days a week once school started, with many of them taking private gymnastics, as well. It is because of their hard work, dedication to practice and to each other and their outstanding coaching staff that this team was able to achieve such greatness. “It really was a team effort with not only our coaching staff, but all of our parents and volunteers that supported our team throughout the season. It is such an amazing feeling to have accomplished a perfect season and won these National Championship titles. These girls are a group of dynamic and hardworking athletes who really wanted to win and gave it their all at every practice and competition. I couldn’t be happier for our team,” said Head Coach Alicia Smith.

Their first win was at the Palomar Conference Pop Warner competition in October at SDSU. They next advanced and won the Wescon Regionals in Long Beach in November, which took them to the Pop Warner “Super Bowl of Cheer” in Orlando in December, where they brought home the first National Championship title in history for Torrey Pines Pop Warner and only the second time a team from the Wescon region has won. Following their National Championship win, they went on to compete at the JAMZ Cheer and Dance Regional competition in Long Beach on Jan. 15 and not only won first place, but captured the “Grand Championship” title by having the highest overall score of all the teams at the competition. This leads up to their final victory at the JAMZ Nationals held on Jan. 29 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The team competed against 14 other teams from across the nation to win their second “National Champion” title of the season. They performed flawlessly with the highest score and no deductions from the judges. They were awarded not only a huge trophy, jackets, and medals , but they were ultimately rewarded by having a “Perfect Season.” Registration for the 2012 Football & Cheer season is now open. Don’t miss your chance to join TPPW, home of the 2011-12 National Champion Jr. Midget Falcon Cheer Squad. For information about the 2012 registration, please go to www.torreypinespw. com.

BURGLARIES continued from page 1 home, Servin said. It appears that the suspects are casing the neighborhood to see when people are coming and going. Typically in the evening hours, they try to make contact at the front door and if no one is home, they go to a back window or open back door. Some arrests have been made and they have brought in other resources to deal with the issue. “It’s not going to be easy,” Servin said. “It’s something that’s going to take a lot of time, resources and energy because we don’t just want to take an apple out of the tree, we want to cut the whole tree down.” Because the criminals are thought to be casing neighborhoods, Servin stressed the importance of residents keeping an eye out for suspicious people or activity. “We highly encourage people to get a good description, be a good witness and

call the police,” Servin said. The Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) has been out in the community handing out flyers and reminding people to keep windows and doors closed and locked. It seems like something people wouldn’t need to be reminded of but Servin said in one case a person had left their back sliding door and windows open for an entire weekend. There have been five cases where the homeowners had an alarm but it was not turned on. Servin also spoke about other crimes in the area. A suspect is being looked at in the vandalism case in which the tires of 17 cars were slashed on Jan. 4 on Pearlman Way off Ashley Falls Drive. There was also a similar vandalism case at the Sorrento Valley Coaster Station, where the tires of 10 cars were slashed. “From the video, we happened to see a man in his 50s, for no reason calmly cutting the tires,” Servin said. “We were really surprised because it’s not what

we expected to see.” The video is grainy but they are working to identify the suspect. The police department has had success in arresting suspects who had targeted Radio Shack and Ralph’s in the Del Mar Highlands shopping center. In the Ralph’s case, a high schoolage suspect had been stealing large amounts of cough syrup. The police were also able to arrest a burglar who had stolen from vehicles parked in the parking garage of the Pell Place condos on Townsgate Drive. They were able to recover many of the stolen items. “We’re finding a lot of stolen property shows up on Craigslist,” Servin said, noting that it’s a good idea when something is taken to look for it that same day on the website. “It’s helpful to us when the homeowners or victims help with the investigation.” The Northwestern Division can be reached at (858) 523-7000.

bond issues.” The second item under consideration on Feb. 2 is the award of a contract with De La Rosa & Company. De La Rosa was chosen from four respondents for bond underwriting services “to assist with drafting tax rate statements for election material, coordinating with financial advisor[s] on bond sizing and pricing, preparing all documentation for bond issuance, guiding the district through the rating process, and marketing the bonds for successful sale.” The district recommends, according to the board packet, that trustees approve the contract with De La Rosa, funded by “future bond issues.” Both of these items are being presented for action and a vote by trustees. The third item, submitted for information only and not for action until the next board meeting on Feb. 16, is for the selection of “public information and ballot measure preparation consultant services.” According to the board

FLOWER continued from page 1 ping experience” on its website. In December, the final legal hurdle to the project was eliminated, when San Diego Superior Court Judge Ronald Prager rejected a lawsuit filed by a citizens group, said attorney Robin Madaffer, who represents Protea Properties, the owner of the shopping center. The lawsuit, filed by Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion, had challenged the project on environmental grounds. Robert Vicino, a spokesman for the group, could not be reached for comment on whether the group plans to appeal Prager’s decision. Also, the California Coastal Commission voted in September that it did not have jurisdiction over the project, clearing a challenge that had been raised by the commission’s staff in San Diego, said Madaf-

fer. Construction began in July, following a unanimous approval of the project in April by the San Diego City Council. Property manager Rose Jabin said Protea plans to turn one of the new buildings over to Whole Foods in June, and the grocery company will need four to five months to make interior improvements before the store opens to the public. If the store does not open by Nov. 15, she said, the opening will be delayed until after the first of the year, as the company has a “blackout period” over the busy holiday season when it does not open new stores. The project also includes 28,000 square feet of new office space, and 8,900 square feet of new retail space, said Jabin. “We’re working with those prospective tenants now,” she said. One new tenant, Between the Sheets, has

opened in the space formerly occupied by Papachino’s restaurant, Jabin said. The project will also include a facelift for the existing buildings in the center. Current tenants are supportive of the project, she said. “We’re re-signing leases, people are extending their leases.” The new parking structure will contain about 400 parking spaces. “That will provide ample parking for the new uses and other people coming to the center,” Jabin said. The main entrance to the shopping center on Via De La Valle will be expanded to add an additional lane, making it easier for visitors to get into and out of the center, and new landscaping will also be installed as part of the renovation project. So far, the project has not encountered weather delays or other hindrances, Jabin said. “We’re pretty much on schedule.”

report, “staff issued a request for proposals for campaign (information) consulting services on December 13, 2011 in anticipation of placing a Proposition 39 General Obligation bond measure on a future ballot for future financing of related facilities.” Staff received five responses and narrowed down the search to Oakland-based Tramutola LLC. According to Tramutola’s Web site, “We have trained a generation of people how to conduct these elections and how to win. We won the first parcel tax measures and the largest bond measures. We’ve guided large and small districts. Over the years we pioneered mail ballot elections, sophisticated polling techniques and developed ballot language that has become standard for the industry.” SDUHSD selected Tramutola “as the proposed campaign consultant,” states the board report. The work as proposed would be conducted in three phases. Phase 1, costing the district $44,500, explores providing “preliminary recommendations regarding the feasibility of placing a local school bond measure on the

ballot in 2012.” Phase 2, called Public Information and Ballot Measure Preparation, would cost the district $6,000 per month “if the district opts to place the measure on the November 6, 2012 ballot or $10,000 per month if June 5, 2012 is chosen.” Phase 3 is Post Election Communications, which would cost the district $12,000 to assist the district in providing “post-election updates on bond-related school projects.” Tramutola services would be paid for “by future campaign donations.” General fund dollars, the district said, will not be used. The board report states that “California law prohibits the use of district funds, services, supplies or equipment for the purpose of urging the passage or defeat of any school measure of the district, including school bond measures.” But SDUHSD trustee John Salazar questioned whether the Tramutola contract, if approved, would inappropriately serve to influence the public to support the expenditure of taxpayer money. Eric Dill, associate su-

perintendent of business services for SDUHSD, said a committee would be formed to handle the aspects of running the campaign, should the board adopt a resolution to place a GO bond on the ballot. “It would be led and staffed by volunteers, and all funds used in support of the measure would come from private donations,” Dill said in an email. “No public funds or resources would be used to urge passage of the bond or for any other political activity.” The purpose of the GO bond would be to fund what the district says are muchneeded facilities renovations and improvements at SDUHSD’s schools. A plan developed by a Long Range Facilities Task Force recommended upgrades totaling about $400 million, to improve technology and modernize aging campuses. A GO bond would need 55 percent of voter approval. The Feb. 2 SDUHSD board meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at district headquarters at 710 Encinitas Blvd. in Encinitas.

the current design, only a bike lane and a sidewalk. A new draft EIR on the bridge is expected to be completed in the summer and the time is now to get the design fixed, according to Shawna Anderson, river park JPA environmental planner. “We believe it represents a barrier to connecting to the Coast to Crest Trail,”

Anderson said of the 55-mile trail in the works that would link Del Mar to Vulcan Mountain, north of Julian. “There’s no cantilever or space on the bridge to cross the river…a striped lane on the road is not a safe connection for our trail users.” Anderson said they are fully supportive of the bike lane but they are pushing for a separated path for users

who aren’t comfortable riding or walking with traffic on the high-speed, busy street, more than just the sidewalk. “We’re flexible in the design as long as there’s a separate multi-use path with some kind of barrier,” Anderson said.

Tenacity, perseverance pay off for former foster child with bestselling novel about Hemingway’s ‘Paris wife’ Editor’s note: Author Paula McClain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society’s Jan. 25 luncheon at The Grand Del Mar. The luncheon series is sponsored by Northern Trust, the RSF Community Center and this newspaper. BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN For Hadley Richardson, meeting the young, ambitious wannabe writer Ernest Hemingway while on a brief trip to Chicago and marrying him after a courtship of less than a year was a life-changer that transported her out of a lackluster Victorian existence as a 28-year-old “spinster” in St. Louis, Missouri, to a very different life in the Bohemian Paris of the 1920s. For struggling contemporary poet, novelist and former teacher Paula McClain, writing an historical novel, a completely new genre for her, based on Hadley Richardson and Ernest Hemingway, and their love affair and marriage during the height of the Jazz Age, has also been a life-changer, or as she calls it, “a game-changer.” McClain was the featured speaker at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society luncheon on Jan. 25 at The Grand Del Mar. Her 2011 novel, “The Paris Wife,” is her fifth book and her

first commercially successful book — but what a success! McClain had authored two previous books of poetry (Stumble and Gorgeous), for which she received copies of her own books as payment; a memoir of her life growing up as foster child (“Like Family”) that attracted a scant readership; and a promising 2008 debut novel, (“A Ticket to Ride”) that sold only 7,000 copies. By comparison, “The Paris Wife,” now in its 26th printing, made The New York Times’ bestseller list for almost seven months, is being translated into 33 languages, has been optioned for a movie, and has sold close to 700,000 copies. McClain’s novel is a portrayal of love, torn loyalty and betrayal, made even more touching because Hemingway once wrote he would rather have died than fallen in love with anyone but Hadley. We interviewed the author in the library of The Grand Del Mar before she addressed the filled-tocapacity luncheon gathering. McClain was born in Fresno, Calif., in 1965. After being abandoned by her parents when she was 4, she and her two sisters became wards of the California Court System, moving in and out of foster homes in Fresno County for

the next 14 years. Fortunately, she and her sisters were not separated, as many foster children often are, she said. “I often think it was a pretty good education for me as a writer, being so uprooted all the time and never really knowing where we were going to go and how long we would be in any placement,” she

ventured. “It made me the kind of kid who when I went to a new school, I would go to the library, make friends with the librarian and ask her what I should read. I would eat my lunch in the library. I think I was afraid to make friends. I just became a voracious reader that liked to fall into other people’s lives, other worlds and happy endings. “And I think I’m the same kind of writer. I read for escape and to be swept away. And I think I write for the same reasons.” McClain studied at Fresno City College when the tuition was $50 a semester for three years before transferring to Central Michigan University and working at a nursing home to pay for her tuition and earn an undergraduate degree and a master’s in English and history, followed by an M.F.A. in creative writing and poetry from the University of Michigan. Afterwards, while struggling to make it as a writer, she taught poetry, literature and creative writing for 17 years in New England and Ohio at various colleges and at a private high school. Asked why she chose to write a novel rather than a biography about Hadley Richardson, she said, “It would never occur to me to

write a biography. I’m not a scholar in that way and I’m not interested in writing nonfiction, except for narrative nonfiction memoirs. “What happened was, I was completely lost and looking for inspiration for a second novel because things had not gone well for me as a writer, when I read Ernest Hemingway’s “A Moveable Feast” — about his time in Paris; and in it he writes about his first marriage with incredible tenderness and poignancy, and the story really captivated me. “So I started on this journey to learn more about this woman, Hadley Richardson, and more about their marriage. The more I learned about her, the more I liked her and the more I understood that this was a big idea.” “I think the reason readers really like historical fiction is it gives them an open door into getting a history lesson,” McClain said, “and while maybe they wouldn’t read a biography about Paris in the 1920s, they might read a novel about it, while getting the ‘real deal’ too. “I use the facts on record to represent that world as accurately as I can, given the fact that I’m SEE NOVEL, PAGE 14

Rugby ‘Scrum’ The San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club U14 Boys had two entrants in the Rugby 7’s Tournament held Saturday, Jan. 21, at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The soggy weather did not deter the Mustangs, who are based in Carmel Valley, but draw players from throughout the County. Both teams made it out of pool play. The Juniors were defeated in the quarterfinals, while the Seniors led 17-7 late in the semi-final match before losing to San Clemente. Here in a classic Rugby “scrum” (Mustangs in dark jerseys on right), Props Cole Winship and Brandon Cole, flank Hooker Jacob Schneider (middle of scrum).

On March 3, the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary will proudly host its 16th annual fundraising gala and provide sponsors and attendees with an evening of fabulous cuisine, amazing silent and live auctions, the comedy of Dennis Miller, and dancing until midnight — all in support of Rady Children’s Hospital, Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders! The gala committee draws its inspiration and title sponsorship from 9-year-old Henry Reif and his parents, Tracy and Leo Spiegel, founders of Henry’s Fund. Their journey in support of the Peckham Center began with a relatively simple surgery: 8-year-old Henry Reif was having a tonsillectomy. Surgery went well. ‘ Upon being discharged, the doctor gave a standard warning for tonsillectomy patients: although bleeding was rare, occurring in less than 1 percent of all cases, if it happened to Henry it must be checked immediately. Six days later, Henry calmly walked down the hallway of his home and said to his mother, Tracy Reif-Spiegel, “Mom, I need to show you something.” Walking into his bathroom, Tracy saw large amounts of blood while Henry continued to cough up even more. Between coughs, Henry calmly stated, “You need to take me to the hospital.” Henry was then rushed to Rady Children’s Hospital. Three weeks later, a battery of tests revealed that Henry had

a very rare condition, one that would forever alter the way he lived. Henry had Hemophilia type B. Hemophilia B, also known as Factor IX deficiency, is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a lack of blood clotting Factor IX. Without enough Factor IX, the blood cannot clot properly to control bleeding. Henry is one of only 3,300 people in the U.S. diagnosed with Hemophilia B, which translates to about one in 30,000 live male births. There is little reward for research and drug development and progress in treating the disease has been slow, according to research professionals at UCSD. Henry and his family have to be cautious and prepared at all times because injuries to the head can be life threatening and injuries to his joints can be permanently debilitating unless Factor IX is administered immediately. Each dose costs $5,000, a prohibitive amount for anyone without good medical insurance. Even with good insurance the co-pay per dose is $450 and when given by infusion provides protection for only 24 hours. Henry’s family keeps three doses of Factor IX available at all times. The medication has a limited refrigerated shelf life of just 18

months. Living with Hemophilia B also means that Henry misses out on some of the activities he enjoys most: playing football, basketball, soccer and lacrosse. When playing baseball, he’s limited to the mildly safe position of an outfielder. “My disease gets in the way since I can’t skateboard or play most sports, but I deal with it,” said Henry. “I’m not scared but my mom is!” Despite his setbacks, Henry and Tracy see Hemophilia not just as a disease but also a journey that has brought their family, friends and community closer together. “There is a fine line between keeping him normal and keeping him aware. This is part of his life, but I don’t want to make it his whole life. Mostly it has taught our entire family not to take anything in life for granted.” Tickets are now on sale. Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and event tickets are tax deduction eligible. Reserve yours now at www.rcha-rsf.org or by calling 858-414-6296.

Local residents help organize ‘Passing the Torch of Success’ event BY JOE TASH A group of successful, prominent Iranian-Americans took to the stage of UCSD’s Mandeville Auditorium Jan. 29 in an event designed to motivate youth and showcase the accomplishments of the Iranian-American immigrant community. “Every good thing you do makes all of us look good, there’s nothing too small,” said Firoozah Dumas, a humorist and author of “Funny in Farsi,” urging the young people in the audience to be involved in community service. “You have to invest in excellence. You have to work hard,” said Vali Nasr, a professor of international politics at Tufts University, author and former senior advisor to the Obama Administration on issues related to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The event, called “Passing the Torch of Success,” was organized by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans,” or PAAIA, and has been held in cities around the country in recent years. Sunday’s sold-out event, which drew an audience of about 800 people, marked its debut in San Diego. Local resident Jamile Palizban, an event organizer, said one goal of the forum was “to empower our young Iranian kids and to teach them a little about our community.” Maryam Famourzadeh, another local resident, and co-chair of PAAIA’s San Diego chapter, said she has two teen-age daughters. “I want to make sure they grow up proud Iranian-Americans.” Another goal of the event — and of PAAIA — is to show the general public in the United States what the Iranian-

American community is about, said Palizban. “We are not all terrorists. It breaks our heart, the actions of the Iranian government. We don’t like it, we don’t support it. That’s why we came here,” she said. More than 90 percent of the Iranians in the United States came after the Iran’s Islamic revolution of 1979, and their children have been born and raised here, she said.

able to get a ticket. “I want to get inspired by their experiences,” he said of the speakers. “I just want to get the feel of what this is all about.” Among the challenges facing Iranian-Americans is the tension between the United States and Iran, the speakers acknowledged Sunday. With the United States imposing economic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, and some political leaders even talking about possible military action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, IranianAmericans feel the pressure in their daily lives. “It’s a very trying time for the Iranian community,” said Nasr, the Tufts professor and author of the New York Times bestseller “Forces of Fortune.” But in spite of those hurdles, he said, Iranian-Americans have much to offer their adopted country, from serving as cultural ambassadors, to careers in government service. “Ultimately if we’re going to be responsible citizens of America, we have to give back and participate in political life,” he said.

Election 2012: Who is Lori Saldaña? This newspaper group recently met with congressional candidate Lori Saldaña to discuss her bid to represent San Diego in the newly redrawn 52nd District. Interviews with the remaining candidates in the race — Republicans John Stahl and Wayne Iverson — will be published online in coming weeks (www.delmartimes.net). Interviews with Democrat Scott Peters and Republican Brian Bilbray ran in the Jan. 19 issue of this newspaper. BY PAT SHERMAN Native San Diegan Lori Saldaña was a member of the California state Assembly from 2004 to 2010, representing the 76th District. Saldaña, a Democrat whose father served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a reporter for the San Diego Evening Tribune, was raised in Clairemont, where she currently resides. She earned a bachelor of arts degree and a master’s degree in education from San Diego State University. After college, Saldaña went on to teach business information technology for the San Diego Community College District, where she also managed Department of Labor grants used for student technical training. Saldaña has distinguished herself as a champion of environmental causes. From 19921994, she chaired the San Di-

Lori Saldaña ego Wetlands Advisory board, and in 1999, President Clinton appointed her to the Border Environment Cooperation Commission’s advisory council. In 2007, Saldaña was named Legislator of the Year by Californians Against Waste for her legislation regarding Ewaste. She also co-authored the state’s Million Dollar Solar Initiative and the Global Warming Solutions Act. She was appointed assembly speaker pro tem and served as chair of the bipartisan California Women’s Legislative Caucus. Saldaña has been endorsed by seven Democratic Clubs, including those in La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Rancho Santa Fe. She also has received endorsements from the American Federation of Teach-

ers, Congress members Karen Bass and Judy Chu, former San Diego City Councilmember Donna Frye, current City Council members Marti Emerald and Tony Young, San Diego School Board President Richard Barrera, State Controller John Chiang and State Senator Mark Leno. This newspaper group recently met with Saldaña to discuss her candidacy and plans for the 52nd District. What do you believe to be your crowning achievements as a member of the state legislature. Saldaña: Energy efficiency and climate change. They’re hand in hand. Being in the legislature in California, you’re in charge of the eighth largest economy in the world. Our Climate Change Act of 2006 changed the way the world looks at air quality. I was co-author of that bill (AB 32) in my first term as a legislator. In my second term, I introduced a bill (AB 1103) which will be implemented this year that basically puts a value on energy efficiency. It looks at every commercial building in the state of California, every nongovernment, nonresidential building, and creates an energy benchmarking level. It’s like when you go to buy a car and you look at miles-per-gallon and then you can choose. Do I want the

high-efficiency building that’s going to cost me more … or do I get a cheaper, dirtier building, but then I can invest in it and bring it up (to energy efficiency standards)? The retrofitting is not mandatory. The bill doesn’t require it, but a smart person with an older building that’s not energy efficient will go and hire an architect, will hire a company — and there are many of them in San Diego that specialize in retrofitting older buildings to be more energy efficient. It’s creating jobs, it’s creating opportunities, and it’s encouraging people to be energy efficient. (The bill) was signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger and had the support of the building industry and others. How do you plan to differentiate yourself as a candidate in the 52nd District, where the vote is split almost evenly between Democrats, Republicans and undeclared voters? Saldaña: The 76th Assembly District had a breakdown very similar to the current (52nd congressional) district. It’s about 40 percent Democrat, 35 percent Republican, 25 percent Decline to State. The fastest-growing voter group in the state is Decline to State. I represented them with increasing voter margins for the three times I was elected. In this district, the coastal Decline to State people are highly educated … They are

often entrepreneurs or they work in research, education, the university. … They relate very well to my background as an educator, as someone who has worked on environmental issues, as a presidential appointee, as an environmental policy researcher at UCSD. I think that’s why I did so well, against all odds, in my first go-round. The residents of this community have voted for me seven times in the last seven years. Over 113,000 people voted for me in my final term. That’s nearly as many people as live in one city council district. I had the most support, because I believe very simply, I kept my word. I could be trusted. You’re often labeled as a progressive or member of the left. How do you see yourself politically? Saldaña: Considering that this last year in Congress they have seen more bills renaming post offices than anything of substance, we need some progress in Washington. So, I’m very happy to call myself a progressive, because we need to progress to move our country forward. When I chaired Housing and Community Development, we passed bonds that created thousands of jobs to invest in our communities. That’s progress when you invest in infrastructure, when you maintain infrastructure. I was an academic, a researcher, and a university and

college teacher before I was elected. Often the people that try to pigeonhole me as an environmentalist, they’re trying to limit my skills and my experience that I bring to this. A healthy environment means healthy people. If people are drinking contaminated water or swimming in contaminated water and getting sick, that’s a healthcare burden that we all share. If kids or adults are sick with asthma from dirty air, that’s a healthcare burden we all shoulder. Environmental protection, to me, goes hand-in-hand with healthy human beings. In the end, if you ask someone, ‘Do we have too many environmental regulations?’ people will often say, ‘Absolutely. Too many environmental regulations are getting in the way of business and other things.’ I always say, ‘Do you want clean water and a healthy environment?’ (They say), ‘Absolutely.’ So the disconnect is we have regulations in place to ensure a healthy environment … but people tend to forget that the framework for accomplishing those things are regulations. What do you feel are your opponents’ main deficiencies? Saldaña: Look at Brian Bilbray. He has been in Washington for 14 years and he’s never even chaired a committee. (Congressman) Kevin McCarthy went to Washington SEE ELECTION, PAGE 13

Carmel Valley News

ELECTION continued from page 12 in 2006. He is now the third in line behind (House Speaker John) Boehner and (Majority Leader Eric) Cantor. I think if you want leadership in this delegation, I’m the choice. I’ve gone into leadership as a presidential appointee and I went from never having served in elected office to being the speaker pro tem for the assembly of California.

I know what it takes to earn the trust of people, and that’s how you become a leader. There is only one legislative level that’s anywhere near federal, and that’s the state of California: tens of millions of people and a $100 billion-plus state budget. If you want to understand the big picture, which you need at the congressional level, I can’t think of a better training ground then serving in the state legislature in California. Is there a

lot of dysfunction there? Certainly, but that’s helped me prepare for the dysfunction that’s inevitable to encounter in Washington. Brian Bilbray has come out strong against illegal immigration and does not support amnesty programs. What is your approach to dealing with the issue? Saldaña: When the Minutemen were coming out and the governor praised them, I pushed back and I said we need trained, professional law

enforcement along the U.S.Mexico border, for the safety of the men and women who are border patrol agents, for the safety of the men and women who are legally going back and forth across the border … and I’ve never wavered on that. For Brian Bilbray and anyone to just simply say, ‘Build a fence, shut it down,’ well, let’s look at what happens when you build that

fence. They waived every law on the books in order to build that fence. People forget that. They say, ‘Oh, it was just environmental laws.’ No, that federal bill waived every law on labor, workforce safety, on everything, to build a border fence that will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars, just to maintain it — and it doesn’t work. Ask China. Walls don’t work. People go around them. People go under them. People

Their economy is not great, but it’s not terrible either. If you go to any department store in San Diego, listen to how many people are speaking Spanish and spending their money in those stores. And I’m not talk-

Shapes Are Chic At Gila Rut Aveda Salon New spring cuts, color and cosmetics Spring hair fashion is shaping up beautifully at the new Gila Rut Aveda Salon in Torrey Hills Center. On the runways and the red carpet, both couture and coiffure take on a ‘confident luxury’ this season – all created with chic, versatile shapes to suit individual style. The Gila Rut salon experts, recently in New York doing hair and make-up for Spring 2012 Fashion Week, make it all happen through the creative blending of cut, color and make-up. Gila Rut salon guests love the fashion update consultation first – and then getting their

own custom look based on lifestyle and fashion personality. Moving into Spring, women will shape up their chic with a variety of hair lengths and layers that bring out their best features. Watch for shapes within the shape to accent eyes, lips and cheekbones…like bangs that bring out beautiful eyes or soft, feathered wisps that frame the face and add a fashion edge. Hair textures range from sleek and smooth to soft waves and curls. Hair is always shiny, healthy and luxurious to the touch. Color shapes the cut and adds to the thicker feeling of the hair. The look of Spring hair color

varies from soft, fine Balayage highlights that blend and balance the cut to an ‘Ombre’ effect that shows a soft shadow play of deeper-to-lighter color dimensions. The season’s fresh smokey make-up hues balance against bright fabrics seen in slice-of-lime green, the new teals, lipstick reds, ‘wow’ yellows and orange crush.

Dental Technology The road to a healthier you By Dr. Curtis Chan

The world of dentistry has never been more exciting with the infusion of advanced dental technology. Going to the dentist keeps on getting better especially at Dr.Curtis Chan’s future and state-of-the-art dental office at Pointe Del Mar. It seems like only a few years ago when you had to agonize at getting your yearly x-rays and had to wait quite a while for the dental films to get developed. I remember how the films never seemed to fit my mouth and sometimes pushed into my gums. Also I remember how long it would take for procedures to take, taking multiple

visits to get a tooth fixed. Times have changed and not only are things more comfortable, easier, but also quicker in dentistry from the use of the advances in dental technology. Are you and your dental health getting involved with the advances in dental technology? Today, dentistry has integrated many of the advances in the computer and digital world and have opened up many avenues to help solve and create better solutions to oral health problems. Digital x-rays have reduced the amount of radiation exposure to patients by as much as

80 percent, yet improved the diagnostic ability to fight dental disease. Replacing missing teeth utilizing digital CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography) , and designing teeth with CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing), have dramatically improved the accuracy in creating natural looking smiles. Dr. Curtis Chan has been serving the Del Mar/ Camel Valley / San Diego area for the last 25 years and is currently building a new state of the art dental office facility at Pointe Del Mar (planned to open in Summer 2012).

ELECTION ing about the 99-cent stores. Do you believe in an amnesty program for illegal immigrants? SaldaĂąa: Ronald Regan signed an amnesty bill in 1986. I think Ronald Regan had it right. If people can prove that the only law theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve broken is a civil law, which is the immigration law, but they are not violent offenders, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t violated any criminal laws, then they should have a path to citizenship. It should be tough. They should learn English. I used to teach English as a second language, so I understand the motivation to get people up to speed on their English skills. Many of my students would learn English and then come into my computer class to get computer skills to start their

Carmel Valley News own businesses. Immigrants are an economic engine unto themselves. Just drive around San Diego and look at the communities that have huge investments, as a result of our southwest Asian immigrants. Any more thoughts on why you feel you are the best candidate for this job? Lori SaldaĂąa: I think as an educator I know what it takes to learn, and I stress lifelong learning to my students and I stress it with myself. Surround yourself with smart people. Listen to what they have to say. Look for the ones that have the experience that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, ask them a lot of questions, and then apply that to your job. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do back in Washington. I had dozens of bills signed by a Republican governor and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very confident I can go back and work with anyone in Washington as well as I learned to work with them

in Sacramento. â&#x20AC;Ś One reason I ran for office is I was very concerned looking at the cutbacks in services for healthcare, and the cutbacks in education, I was teaching at the time in community college, â&#x20AC;Ś managing federal grants for information technology programs and those grants started disappearing back in 2001-2001. Basically, as our defense spending in the United State increased, I saw firsthand our education funds being slashed. â&#x20AC;Ś All of these funds just disappeared. As our war efforts overseas built up, our domestic spending in education and other programs declined. I grew up in a Marine Corps family. My father was a career Marine. I have tremendous respect and admiration for the men and women who are volunteering to serve â&#x20AC;Ś but my big concernâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I served for six years on the Veterans

I held hearings as chair of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caucus about women in the military. We did a lot of work on providing service. It turns out thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one residential facility for women military members in the country, up in Palo Alto, for them to go and have residential services for PTSD, for traumatic brain injury. And we have more women serving in the military now than at any time in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and serving under combat situa-

What they heard in Washington about what was happening with women in the military was so disturbing to the Department of Defense they refused to let the people come to California to testify in front of our hearing, because we learned that women in the military were lacking the resources to get on with their lives after their service.

Hadley and Hemingway were married in Sept. 1921, and lived briefly in Chicago, living frugally on Hadleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small inheritance, while Hemingway collected rejected slips.

Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. Gratefully, she said, Hemingway was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pack ratâ&#x20AC;? who never threw anything away. She was particularly impressed by the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exchange of letters during their courtship in 1921 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between Hadley, living in St. Louis, and the irrepressible Hemingway, 21, who had been wounded while serving with the Red Cross in Italy during World War I and who was chomping at the bit to return to Europe to further his career as a writer, but found himself stuck in Chicago writing advertising copy for Firestone Tires.

Hadley divorced Hemingway in 1927. Even with the failure of their marriage, McClain is convinced that Hadley was better off for having known and loved Ernest. She bloomed as a person and discovered a strength and resilience that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know she possessed. Motherhood also matured her into a woman with a core and purpose, McClain posits.

Museum of Contemporary Art hosts exhibit by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Prince of Printsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; See nearly 40 years of work by San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Baldessari BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Baldessari has been called â&#x20AC;&#x153;arguably Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most influential conceptual artist,â&#x20AC;? and at age 80 is still in demand all over the world. In the past year or so, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had shows in Sydney, Milan, London, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles, where he lives. Starting Feb. 5, his work will be featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.â&#x20AC;? On display will be more than 100 pieces selected from the array of lithographs, etchings, photogravures, aquatints and silkscreens Baldessari created between 1973 and 2010. The exhibit, originally shown in San Francisco in 2009 and now traveling around the country, is the largest offering of Baldessariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graphic work ever assembled. It is part of the massive holdings of Jordan Schnitzer, an Oregon businessman/philanthropist whose collections comprise more than 5,000 prints by Baldessari, Frank Stella, Jim Dine, James Rosenquist and other major contemporary artists. His donations to the University of Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Museum have been so significant that the museum was renamed for him in 2005. Baldessari is no stranger to MCASD. In fact, his first exhibition, in 1960, was at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art Center in La Jolla,â&#x20AC;? now known as MCASD-LJ. His last solo show there was in 1997, but a number of his works remain in the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection. Though he started out as a painter, best known for his provocative â&#x20AC;&#x153;word pieces,â&#x20AC;? he burned all his paintings in 1970. As part of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cremation Proj-

Clarification from Marsha Sutton

My column last week criticizing the Del Mar Union School District’s decision to cancel the Spanish program at Del Mar Heights School has generated several comments that appear to reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue. First and most importantly, DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody told me trustees had options, legally, to save the program through the end of the year. He said he believed an honest mistake had been made when the program was begun. My expressed view that the school board did an injustice to students by cancelling the Spanish program was based primarily on these statements by Peabody. Second, I freely confess my respect and admiration for Heights principal Wendy Wardlow, her staff and their dedication to their students. But had this happened at any other school in the district, my column would have read exactly the same. Accusations of bias are a sideshow and nothing more than a red herring thrown out to distract from the main point, which is this: A viable and valuable foreign language program for kids was killed when it could have been saved. — Marsha Sutton

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Traffic impacts are far from ‘hypothetical’ Steve Laverson’s letter (“Mixed-use pedestrian-oriented plans like One Paseo can help reduce local auto travel”), Jan. 26, 2012, appears to be another in a long series of Kilroy Realty Corp.’s promotional efforts to attempt to gain support for its project by reiterating platitudes and avoiding facts. Contrary to the assertions contained in his letter, it is important to note that prior to 2010, the City Planning staff expressly recommended that impacts studies (relating to traffic, parking, scale commensurate with the surrounding neighborhood, etc.) be provided early in the process, as staff recommendations for a less intense land use concept and an alternative land use designation could result if the project is found to have an undesirable impacts on the community. (Cycle 5). Clearly, city planners themselves foresaw significant negative impacts. What other developers might attempt to do is not the issue; the im-

pacts this unprecedented monumental departure from the CV community plan will have on our community are. I have represented developers in Los Angeles and saw what happened to that city many years ago as traffic became a nightmare and parking became virtually impossible. The local communities should be able to vote on a project of this magnitude, not have it rubber-stamped at the last minute without a full opportunity for meaningful community input — after a full-disclosure of negative traffic and parking considerations at the earliest phase of planning. How will One Paseo reduce local auto travel? Although the plan for One Paseo would have relatively level interior streets where people can walk once inside the project (which, by the way, would require, according to the plans, the export of 500,000 cu. yds. of dirt to other locations — that’s equivalent to 25,000 double dump truck

Kudos to teachers In January 2012, the Del Mar School Board shut down a fully parentfunded Spanish program at Del Mar Heights School. And while the board of trustees followed the lead of trustee Comischell Rodriguez, who lobbied hard for ending the program, parents and staff spoke for bringing language to our district and our children. I would like to write this letter to the Del Mar California Teacher’s Union and to the staff of Del Mar Schools who spoke or wrote in favor of finding ways to bring programs. DMCTA Vice President Gina Williams read a letter from the DMCTA asking the board to find a way to keep the program. Teachers committed to education and our students spoke about the value of second language acquisition not only for our global economy, but for other academic areas, as well. I was so proud to be in the audience listening to the teaching staff advocate for our children. I was touched by the way Del Mar teachers championed a program, supported innovation and spoke out for what they felt was best for children. I was reminded again by the DMCTA letter Ms. Williams read of a comment I have heard many times at board meetings from the Del Mar Union School District teaching staff: that fair is not equal – it is giving each child what they need. I understand that as a parent. I feel blessed that the teaching staff in our district live by that as well. Thank you Del Mar teachers for once again showing the community why you are truly the best. Katherine White Parent of a fourth-grader

loads traversing our streets during construction), outside of a limited number residents living within a half mile radius of the project, all the other patrons of the project will access it by… guess what? That’s right, automobiles. Additionally, how can a new regional-draw retail center survive just from Carmel Valley residents and not require a considerable influx of patrons from the outside areas? Does anyone really think that people who live in Carmel Valley and have to use Del Mar Heights Road to go to and from work, take kids to and from the local high schools, or shop in the local centers should not be concerned about traffic from a new development that has a retail component equal in size to the Del Mar Highlands Town Center (on three-quarters of the land area as the Town Center, I might add) , plus more office space than it is currently entitled to, plus a 150-room hotel, plus 608 residential units?

Traffic impacts on the community are far from “hypothetical.” But what if, hypothetically, they are correct? Do you want a developer to be given a nearly 4X entitlement increase if the traffic ends up going from bad to impossible? The developer, three years after the project was first presented to the City, has a pretty good idea what the traffic impact is going to be. I’m unaware of any law that prohibits them from releasing traffic estimates before the City staff approves the release of the Environmental Impact Report. If there were, it certainly hasn’t stopped the developer from mounting a well-financed PR campaign to highlight a few attractive elements of the plan and avoid disclosing the many negative aspects. How can any intelligent person express support for the project without any reasonable idea of what the traffic impacts might be? Wouldn’t you think that the developer owes the community at large a rea-

sonable, fact-supported estimate of the likely impacts of traffic from his proposed new development before he asks for their support to go ahead? In conclusion, let me say that almost everyone I’ve talked with has no idea of just how massive this proposed project would be. I ask all of Carmel Valley to look at the aerial rendering attached, and imagine driving in one of the cars depicted and what it will feel like to be alongside the 10- and 8-story office buildings on El Camino Real. Or better yet, drive to the 8-story office building next to the Marriott Hotel (currently the tallest office building in Carmel Valley) and stand 30’ from the building (which is how far the eight-story office building proposed for One Paseo would be from El Camino Real) and see if you think that is the appropriate scale for the heart of Carmel Valley. William C. Bibb A concerned resident of Carmel Valley

Trustees shouldn’t be criticized for following rules Last week’s “Education Matters” editorial/opinion column was full of misinformation that should be cleared up for your readers. Here are the facts: Mary Zobell was presented to the superintendent and board as a consultant who would give Spanish classes at Del Mar Heights in its after-school program. When it was time to renew her contract (mid-year), it became apparent that she was not only giving classes after school, but actually was giving classes DURING school. In doing this, she became more than a consultant; Zobell was performing as a temporary teacher, per State Employment Office guidelines (not, as Sutton states, “arbitrary district guidelines”). As a temporary

teacher, the district is obligated to withhold employee taxes, which it didn’t do because it didn’t know. Who presented Zobell as a consultant rather than a temporary teacher? Principals know the rules for hiring teachers. Principals know how the school board has said salaries will be funded. Heights Principal Wendy Wardlow should have been clear that Zobell’s role was that of a temporary teacher, not a consultant. If she had been clear, the board would not have authorized the contract. Marsha Sutton did not place any blame on Wardlow. Instead, Sutton spewed her venom any which way: the current school board, the Foundation, even named

an individual parent. Then she went off on an equity tangent. She threw everyone under the bus except Wardlow. I could chalk it up to bad journalism, but this time it was more. It was harmful. It had the potential to damage the reputations of good people and good organizations. Our school district has rules made by the board and the state, and these rules apply to all schools in the district. I would expect Sutton to criticize the district when she discovers it breaking its own rules. Why is she so angry when the school board insists on following its rules? Kate Takahashi, DMUSD parent

Proposed LA scale project must be reduced Steve Laverson’s recent letter urging we trust Kilroy has been and will continue to be responsive to our community’s best interests in processing its massive One Paseo plans, though well-intentioned, is a bit naive. Heeding it would enable the developer to lead us like lemmings into the sea—of traffic gridlock. It’s a time-honored developer strategy to delay the performance and/or submission of data on the most controversial portions of a plan—i.e. the traffic study—until the “major details” (my new favorite oxymoron) have been systematically addressed. This, and promises of millions to be spent address-

ing any problems, are calculated to get City staffers and officials so invested in the project that when the most threatening aspects are finally revealed, those officials will be more receptive to mitigation recommendations that they’d have rightly rejected earlier. And who better to carry out this strategy than a former Director of Development Services hired by Kilroy as a registered lobbyist to negotiate plan accommodations with her former colleagues. While the San Marcos deployment of synchronized traffic lights Mr. Laverson referred to may have been successful in reducing existing peak traffic delays, we already

have numerous delays with the site vacant. If it’s allowed to be developed to nearly four times its current entitlements, imagine the impact of the resulting geometric traffic escalation at peak periods. Synchronized traffic lights haven’t a prayer of curing those delays. Many, including myself, favor the One Paseo concept and the additional amenities it offers. But as a community we must insist Kilroy reduce the currently proposed LA scale to both avoid the accompanying LA traffic gridlock, and to maintain the livability of the community for its residents.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion/Guest column

Ten former CV planning board members oppose One Paseo Ten former Carmel Valley Community Planning Board members who held office during the decades Carmel Valley was being built out oppose this project as the most massive and inconsistent with all plans for Carmel Valley ever presented. They also question why crucial impact studies, including traffic, requested by city planners early on have not been provided. They addressed the following letter to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and to city council member Sherri Lightner: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, the undersigned former members of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, have grave concerns not only about the massive nature of the proposed One Paseo project and its impacts on the community, but as much about the way it is being processed by the Development Services department. Many issues have been cleared administratively even though the absolutely crucial studies recommended by the staff to be provided early in the process have been provided late in the process or not at all and not subject to public review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our tenure on the Board, we have confronted numerous proposals by developers for increases in density that would have been detrimental to the community and largely staved them off or worked out a reasonable compromise. In these endeavors, we always felt that City staff treated the community interests fairly and that there was a level playing field. Looking over the history of this projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review by Development Services, we cannot see that same level of fairness and openness. While, in the past, it may have been appropriate to wait for a Draft Environmental Impact Report to be released by the City staff before undertaking review and action, we feel that the one-sided influence of the developer in what is by far the largest change in the Community Plan ever considered, compels us to ask that the Board undertake immediate action to ensure that the community interests are recognized and protected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The August 2011 Cycle No. 27 Issues Report (Long Range Planning) Issue No. 2 clearly spells out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;two most significant issuesâ&#x20AC;? with the proposed development, namely that the Community Plan and Precise Plan do not provide for a regional commercial center and the related development intensity. Issue No. 4 of the same section states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Development intensity will be evaluated based upon potential impacts to the community or region, including those related to traffic, community character/aesthetics, water supply, public facilities. Staff recommends that required technical studies be provided early in the process as a staff recommendation for a less intense land use concept and alternative land use designation could result if the proposal is found to have undesirable impacts on the community.â&#x20AC;? This recommendation was made in Cycle 5, approximately two years ago. As of Cycle 27, these studies have apparently not been provided and the issue is not cleared. Likewise, Issue No. 20 entered in July 2009 reiterated the call for a traffic study, as of Cycle 5, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as soon as it is availableâ&#x20AC;?. By Cycle 27, no traffic study has been provided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Issues 81 through 93 of the Long Range Planning Section deal extensively with the scale and character of the proposed project and describe it as significantly more dense than the surrounding community ending with the recommendation that the proposed project be scaled back and an alternative be found to conform with the prevailing neighborhood character. A report made by an attendee of a December 15, 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x153;informational meetingâ&#x20AC;? hosted by Kilroy Realty indicated absolutely no effort on the part of the developer to consider the recommenda-

tions made by Long Range Planning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Still, significant concessions to the developer appear to have been granted administratively, apparently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if any credence is given to the comments from this section of the Cycle Report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; without any ability to reasonably understand the most critical impacts of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One example of such a concession is found in the November 2010 Issue No. 57 of the Long Range Planning Section, where a â&#x20AC;&#x153;villageâ&#x20AC;? designation, which appears to grant much greater flexibility in allowable uses, can be granted if future transit is available. At the time of the Issue, no transit was or was planned to be provided to Carmel Valley. Since that time, apparently a bus route was added to the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan which would run along El Camino Real, and the Issue No. 57 has been checked off as cleared. The adequacy of this remedy does not appear to have been dealt with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another example of a significant concession, Cycle Issue No. 8 (February 2010) from the Park and Rec section states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential units will be subject to population-based park requirementsâ&#x20AC;? and that the proposed population of 1,666 will require 4.66 acres of usable park land. In Cycle 27, the Park issue was cleared in Issue No. 26 with the finding that, after meeting with â&#x20AC;&#x153;upper managementâ&#x20AC;?, no park land was required to be provided and a payment based on the current per-unit FBA fee for park would satisfy the previous park land requirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To proceed with processing a project of this magnitude and force a regional commercial center on the last remaining parcel in the heart of the Carmel Valley community, contrary to the community plan, the precise plan and at many times the allowed density, without first obtaining the requisite studies as to impacts of intensity, traffic and the like on the community seems to us highly improper. These impact studies needed to be done early on, as staff recommended, so that a less intense land use concept and alternative land use designation could be found at the outset. It obviously does not take 2+ years to complete a traffic study. If the developer waits until the very last stages of the study process to produce this all important document for the City staff, an appearance of political manipulation of the planning system can easily be inferred. Surely, there can be little doubt that such studies would have confirmed the detrimental community impacts apparent to staff at the outset and would have compelled the formulation of a less intense, alternative project. We question why there was no insistence on these studies before the project processing was allowed to go much further. An inescapable implication is that undue influence and pressure are being applied to staff to suppress a reasonable consideration of the issues, impacts and alternatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The appearance of impropriety is further aggravated in that the former Director of Development Services, Marcela Escobar-Eck, now registered lobbyist for Kilroy Realty, is aggressively advocating for this major regional commercial center with city planners. Given her intricate knowledge of how the process works (and can be influenced) and given her preexisting relationship with individuals in Development Services, a highly objectionable ethical conflict of interest may well have been created. It can only be inferred that pressure is being asserted on the various departments to soften their characterization of negative impacts and clear issues preventing a fair, impartial and accurate analysis of the impacts of the project on the community and its facilities and depriving the residents of Carmel Valley of the protec-

tions under the Community Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is crucial that there be full disclosure, transparency and freedom from improper influence and pressure in the consideration and processing of this proposed development. We urge that staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations for intensity, traffic and other impact studies be followed, that such studies be reviewed and analyzed before any more areas of this project are processed further and that a less intense and alternative land use be devised if the studies show undesirable impacts on the community. The fact that the processing of this project has continued without these crucial studies and without analysis of the impacts and alternatives strongly raises the appearance of impropriety and undue influence

Occupy Movement is focused on the fact that people no longer have a voice in government I wish to correct a mischaracterization of the Occupy Wall Street Movement in the Jan. 26 article, â&#x20AC;&#x153;858 Tea Party Comes to Local Communities.â&#x20AC;? The Occupy Movement is not focused on spending more money in Washington, it is focused on the fact that we, the people, no longer have a voice in government. Candidates campaign for our votes, but once elected they answer to the money that got them there. Corporations and a few extremely wealthy individuals now spend billions on campaign contributions, Super Pacs and lobbying, and thus far we have been powerless to stop it. The philosophical differences between Progressives and the Tea Party, Liberals and Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, keep us conveniently divided and distracted. Many are so busy pointing angry fingers at each other that they barely notice the majority of our representatives (in both parties) now protect the interests of corporations

Surf Boys U8 White Team wins U9 Championship (RIGHT) First Row: Charlie Kosakoff, John Billington, Brycen Monjazeb, Ryan Flather, Elijah Zelkind, Jesus Bazan, Wesley Jackson Second Row: Nicholas Carlo, Emir Arellano, Elijah “Coco” Hernandez, Carson Malinowski, Wyatt Gardner, Daniel Karam Third Row: Coach Dave Currie.

The Surf boys U8 White team, led by Coach Dave Currie, won first place in the U9 division in the Temecula Valley Shootout Soccer Tournament held the weekend of Jan. 2122. In the Championship game the Surf boys faced a very motivated and aggressive Legends FC. Surf had just beaten Legends FC 4-1 in bracket play, but in the Championship the Legends U9 team played a completely different game. Legends FC dominated the first half of the game, keeping the Surf defense under constant pressure. The Surf team struggled to establish their rhythm and passing game. Late in the first half a series of events lead to Surf’s first goal. It started with a gamechanging, strong defensive play by Jesus Bazan and a beautiful pass by Elijah Zelkind to Charlie Kosakoff who then placed it in the back of the net. Surf was leading at the half 1-0. Early in the second half, Legends kept up the pressure and powered through Surf to score. With the score now 1-1, a very persistent Ryan Flather blasted down the left side of the field, around the Legends defense, and scored the winning goal with a well-placed, powerful left foot strike. This gave Surf the 2-1 lead and Championship title. Leading up to the Champion game, the Surf team (and their parents) braved the wind, rain and mud to dominate in bracket play the previous day beating the Orange County United Futbol Club 8-2 and The Temecula Valley Hawks 7-1. These games really showcased the Surf boys’ speed and skills which they have been working on diligently in practice. Congratulations Surf Boys U8!

Carmel Valley Girls excel at field hockey The year is still young, but four Carmel Valley Middle School girls already find themselves excelling at field hockey on several different levels. Farah Farjood, Danny Jackel, Gabi Jimenez and Shannon Yogerst, all eight graders at CMVS, tried out and were chosen for the U.S. Field Hockey Futures program. Part of only a handful of San Diego County middle schoolers picked for the prestige program, the four will attend twice monthly training sessions at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. Their Futures coaches include Londonbound U.S. Olympian Shannon Taylor and top San Diego high school coaches. The four girls also play for the CVMS Bobcats field hockey team, which is currently undefeated and in first place in the Big 8 Conference. So far the team has defeated Earl Warren 2-0, Diegueno 3-1 and Oak Crest 1-0 with Jackel, Jimenez and Yogerst contributing goals, and Farjood anchoring the defense. The Bobcats are

Farjood, Jimenez and Yogerst also play club field hockey for the Poway Mystix in the North County Indoor League. The league gives the Carmel Valley girls a chance to test their skills against high school competition and so far they’ve more than held their own, leading the team to a 3-1 record and wins over the Escondido HS varsity, Cathedral Catholic JV and Canyon Crest JV. “Shannon, Gabi and Farah have helped to bring our young middle school group up to the next level,” says Mystix head coach Cindi Lou-Villa. “They bring team work, stickwork and an aggressive intensity that our young middle schoolers have not experienced. Not only are they talented young players but they are a pleasure to coach as they listen, understand and perform as well as many high school players. These three players will have successful high school careers and hopefully collegiate careers as well.”

The Manchester SC GU15 team completed another successful season in 2011 Presidio Soccer League action with at record of 11 Wins, 2 Ties, and 1 Loss with 37 goals scored and only 6 goals conceded; finishing 2nd in the AA-A South division. The GU15 goalies posted 9 shutouts during the season. This comes on the heels of a 2010 season where they won the AA-B South division with a record of 13 wins and 1 tie, where they scored 45 goals and conceded only 3 goals with 11 shutouts. The team not only plays great soccer but also plays a clean game with only 1 yellow card in the past three seasons. In addition to their league success, the team played in three tournaments this past summer; advancing to the finals in all three, winning two of them. Along with victories in the Manchester Cup and Pegasus Cup, the team was a finalist in the Notts Forest Memorial Day and Rockstar Cup tournaments in 2011. In 2012, the team will be moving to the SCDL as it seeks tougher challenges in the soccer world. The planned tournament schedule for 2012 includes the State Cup Presidents division, two college showcases, the Mustangs tournament in Danville, California as well as a return to one of San Diego’s premier tournaments, the Pegasus Cup. These girls have worked hard for their success with commitment, dedication, and sacrifice as the key ingredients.

SECTION B

Scientist Barbara Sawrey earns a leadership role in the world of chemistry Barbara Sawrey, the eldest of nine children, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. She received her bachelor’s degree from BaldwinWallace College, then worked as an industrial flavor and fragrance chemist before returning to graduate school. She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry jointly from UC San Diego and SDSU. She has been a faculty member at UCSD in Barbara Sawrey the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry since 1984, and currently serves the campus as Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education. Sawrey is a member of Board of Governors of The San Diego Foundation. Members of the American Chemical Society, the largest scientific organization in the world, recently elected her to the Board of Directors. Who or what inspires you? The commitment of the UCSD faculty and staff to serving our students and higher education is very inspiring. And my spirits never fail to be lifted by the beautiful views from around town, even when I am carrying out the most mundane chore. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? All eight of my siblings live in Ohio. Though I visit twice each year, it is rare when we can all be together for dinner. So I would invite my five brothers and three sisters for a special event. What is your most-marked characteristic? I would like to think I am known for my ability to brainstorm issues, and solve problems in a collaborative way. But since people are not necessarily good judges of how they are perceived, I could be far off base. I have been told I am smilingly obstinate. What is your most-prized possession? Most material items can be replaced, but I would say my home is my most prized possession. The location and structure of my home suit me well, and I have a lovely Eastern mountain view to keep me calm. Of course, maybe I should highlight the ticket stub I have from Trevor Hoffman’s 500th save instead. What do you do for fun? I enjoy our local theaters and opera immensely. We are extremely fortunate to have many cultural choices in San Diego. One other special pastime of mine is driving and walking the older neighborhoods of San Diego. There is much interesting variety in the charm and in the architectural styles. What is your biggest extravagance? I make an annual pilgrimage to Arizona to see the Padres in spring training, and I share Padres season tickSee SCIENTIST, page B18

In the Andes Mountain of Ayacucho, Peru, lies a prison that is home to more than 200 impoverished women. Some live there with their young children, most are doing time for transporting drugs for minimal pay and all of them have something in common — Martha Dudenhoeffer Kolodny means the world to them.

New local resident and son spread positive messages through ‘Word Rocks’ project

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Carol Arêas believes that one way to heal a wounded heart is to go to work on the hearts of others. A foreigner new to the United States and desperately homesick for her native Brazil, the now-Carmel Valley resident started a unique project to spread a little joy. Her project, called Word Rocks, involves inspiring words and phrases painted on rocks and scattered throughout the city in the hope that someone will find them and it will make them smile. “Sometimes the words just fit so perfect in the moment,” said Arêas. “It’s a pleasure for me to do this. The main thing it does for me is to share love and share something positive. It’s sharing happiness instead of me being stuck on loneliness. I’m feeling better because of this, it’s like a therapy for me to prepare the rocks.” Arêas has been in San Diego for a year and while she loves it here, it was hard being in a new country, missing her family and friends. Her husband suggested walking on the beach to help calm her mind and every time she did, she would notice these rocks, smoothed and rounded by the ocean. She started to collect them and paint inspirational words on them for herself. Her collection grew to the point that her son Antonio Monteiro, a fifth grader at Torrey Hills School, took notice. “He had an idea so nice that instead of keeping them, how about spreading them out and maybe help someone else find a little happiness,” Arêas said. “I’m very proud that sharing was his idea. It’s amazing that a 10-year-old boy was able to think about sharing.” Antonio even came up with the name Word Rocks. Enlisting Antonio as her rock hider, the pair went to work. Arêas collects and paints the rocks and brings a handful with them wherever they go.

With the Word Rocks project, Carol Arêas and her son Antonio Monteiro hope to spread positive messages. Photo/Karen Billing

“It’s cool,” Antonio said of the rocks. “I like to hide them.” Rocks with words like “I will”; “Hope”; “Smile”; and “Life is good” are placed in parking lots, on park benches, hidden in sandboxes. A big Beatles fan, Arêas also uses a lot of Beatles lyrics on her rocks, such as “All my loving”; “All you need is love”; “Come together” and “Let it be.” The Arêas family took a road trip up to San Francisco for Christmas and scattered the rocks along the trip. Word Rocks might have also been found on Hollywood Boulevard. Two months ago they added a label to the back of the rocks that said, “It’s yours” and directed people toward their website to share their experience of finding one of the hid-

den treasures. “‘Love’ and ‘It’s yours’ made such a positive impact, a playful wink from the universe,” wrote a woman named Effie who found the rock in Mira Mesa. The woman wrote that she would be paying it forward, hiding the rock in another spot to hopefully brighten someone else’s day. Another message came in from the mother of a boy named Jayden. The mom wrote that her son, who aspires to be an adventurous archeologist like Indiana Jones, unearthed one rock at the park and was determined to find them all. Two weeks later his mother wrote in to say he found another rock at Target and that it’s really made him believe. “I’m in the Del Mar Highlands Starbucks in San Diego near Torrey Pines High School and I found a rock that said ‘love.’ It made my day! Thank You,” wrote Ellen, who sent a picture of her rock next to her iced coffee. “It’s very nice to see people’s reactions,” Arêas said. Arêas now has volunteers in Canada, Brazil and New York City making and hiding the rocks — her plan to spread happiness and positive messages stretching even farther. “My deepest desire is when you find one of the stones, you find the perfect words in the perfect time,” Arêas said.

David Levy and Barry Robbins are coowners of Milton’s Restaurant-Delicatessan in Del Mar.

Scenes from 1940s San Diego and ‘old-school’ advertisements can be seen on the dining-room walls.

Make it Milton’s when you’re in the mood for deli-delicious BY KELLEY CARLSON ilton’s RestaurantDelicatessen offers the nostalgia of 1940s San Diego, with a fresh food selection of classic cuisine. Owned by David Levy and Barry Robbins, Milton’s features more than 200 items on the menu alone, appealing to everyone from ages 3 to 93. And that doesn’t even include all the deli selections. “We bake our own breads and pastries on the premises, and we import our meats (from Chicago) and fish (from New York),” Robbins said. “The portions are very generous.” When entering the establishment, customers have a chance to feast their eyes on the deli’s offerings and the green-neon Milton’s sign. Meats hang over display cases filled with additional cold cuts and seafood; corners are filled with baked goods, while colorful pastries abound. There’s an array of beverages, from specialty coffees to Dr. Brown’s sodas. And naturally, Milton’s-brand items are available for purchase, including multi-grain crackers, bread and preserves. Turn right and enter the restaurant for a step back in time. Black-and-white pictures of cars, people and businesses from the 1940s decorate the walls. There also are “old-school” advertisements for companies such as Kellogg’s, and large photos depicting Milton’s fare to entice the customer.

Milton’s offers a variety of desserts and baked goods.

Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup features chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth.

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Milton’s Potato Pancakes Meanwhile, a gigantic clock with Roman numerals tracks the hour in the center of the dining room, keeping patrons in the present. Large, arched windows provide a glimpse of palm trees swaying in the Southern California breeze. Seemingly every breakfast dish imaginable is served throughout the day — from Milton’s Yogurt Parfait with house-made granola and fruit, to Lox Benedict and Cheese Blintzes. For later meals, entrees cover the spectrum, from vegetarian to comfort foods. On the “light” end, try Milton’s Stuffed Tomato or Avocado, filled with your choice of tuna, chicken or egg salad; or the Chinese Chicken Salad. For richer options, consider the Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, Signature Meat Loaf, Pot Roast served on a bed of rice, or Baby-Back Ribs. And in between extremes are hamburgers with a variety of toppings, hot dogs and bratwurst, and “overstuffed” sandwiches.

Patrons in a hurry during midday can opt for a Brown Bagger Lunch Special with a build-your-own sandwich, pickle, coleslaw and a cookie. From 4 to 8 p.m. Friday to Sunday, Milton’s serves deep-dish, Chicagostyle pizza — a carryover from Levy’s and Robbins’ days as owners of Chicago Brothers restaurant. Still can’t decide what to order? Levy and General Manager Maria Colyer suggest a cup of the freshly made Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup (chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth) and a sandwich with such meats as corned beef and pastrami. Make sure to include a side of homemade onion rings, fries or potato salad. Keep in mind that a complimentary, mini-cinnamon-raisin loaf is served warm on the table every evening and weekend mornings. Children can amuse themselves by playing games and drawing the server on their special menu, which includes kid-friendly meals like grilled cheese and a turkey dinner.

It’s time to quarterback a winning Super Bowl soiree The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Tailgate parties will be heating up from Boonville to Gary, making a pit stop at 500 South Capitol Ave., Indianapolis this Sunday, 6:30 Eastern Time. Roughly 70,000 stalwart Super Bowl attendees will be cozying up under the retractable dome of the $720-million Lucas Oil Stadium. Frigid temperatures outside, the field turf will soon sizzle as hot and hunky quarterback stars — New England’s Tom Brady and New York’s Eli Manning — bandy their football prowess with halftime

punctuated by an iconic tight end – Madonna. For the remaining 151.6 million fans, it’s high-definition homebound when friends coastto-coast share in the Big Game camaraderie and gustatory orgy. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest grilling day of the winter season, along with the second largest food consumption day of the year, losing out to Thanksgiving. With just days to go ‘til the XLVI extravaganza, it’s time to strategize a creative and healthful game plan if you’re hosting a shindig. Organize a regional potluck incorporating the cuisines of New England, New York and Indiana. For a New York state of mind, culinary cultures merge into a melting pot of American, Latin, Italian, Greek, Cuban and Jewish deli. Try black bean chili with plantain chips and mango salsa; lighter, leaner, turkey, chicken or lamburgers; do a football field pizza – fill a rectangular

10 days of movies: The 22nd annual Jewish Film Festival BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT For 22 years, San Diego’s Jewish Film Festival has been presenting movies from all over the world about different facets of the Jewish experience. And now, even more than ever, you don’t have to be Jewish to find a movie to love. This year’s selection includes films from 15 different countries, including heartwarming dramas, romantic comedies, incisive documentaries, and a special free program of short films from emerging directors. There are films that deal with the coming together of opposites: young and old, straight and gay, deaf and hearing, left-wing and right-wing, Jews and Muslims. There are films about historical events, not only the Holocaust, but also the Soviet purges of the 1930s and the virtually unknown long march from Ethiopia to the Sudanase border in the 1980s by thousands of Ethiopian Jews hoping to immigrate to Israel. There are bio-pics about Gustav Mahler and Jascha Heifetz, each so full of music it’s like going to a concert, and the not-so-musical lives of Henry Kissinger, Tony Curtis, and Otto Frank (Anne’s father), as well as the lower-profile Polish Catholic priest who discovered and set out to reclaim his Jewish roots. There’s a Teen Day, featuring “Kaddish for a Friend,” a film chosen by the festival’s teen-age focus group, and there’s a Family Day for preschoolers, featuring “Shalom Sesame Street.” Want a few laughs? See “Jews in ‘Toons,” with a special appearance by Mike Reiss, writer/producer for “The Simpsons.” Or “Jewish Food For Thought,” a series of animated pieces about life with his physicist father by Hanan Harchol. “Our theme this year is The Power of Hope,” said Sandra Kraus, who has been

It’s All About You, And it’s...

‘Mabul (The Flood)’ a coming-of-age film from Israel, opens this year’s Jewish Film Festival on Feb. 9.

If you go What: 22nd annual Jewish Film Festival, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation When: Feb. 9-19 Where: Clairemont Reading Cinemas Town Square 14, Carlsbad Village Theatre, Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18, Ultra Star Mission Valley & Garfield Theatre, JCC La Jolla Schedule: sdjff.org Questions: (858) 362-1330 Best Bets: ‘Mabul (The Flood)’: As he prepares for his bar mitzvah, Mabul, the much-bullied son of dysfunctional parents, manages to bond with the autistic older brother he never really knew. (Israel) ‘Prima Primavera’: A Don Quixote-ish man witnesses a violent robbery and flees from the robber’s revenge, with his unlikely companion, a young gypsy girl with a questionable past. (Hungary/Bulgaria/UK/Netherlands) ‘The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector’: Genius or madman? Time Magazine called this documentary about the childhood, career, and murder trial of the music man who created the legendary Wall of Sound in the late 1950s, “A psycho-profile you can dance to.” (USA/UK) the festival’s producer for the past five years. A longtime member of the local arts community, her background includes event planning at MCASD-La Jolla, designing costumes at the La Jolla Playhouse, and directing shows at the JCC’s Garfield Theatre and other venues. “We believe we have an obligation to remember and honor the past, but we also believe it’s important to move forward and provide hope for the future,” Kraus said. Which means not so many films about the Holocaust, unless they’re really unique. And more films about disparate people discovering their commonalities, like the growing friend-

ship between an orthodox Jewish boy and the son of a prominent imam in Brooklyn (“David”), or the comically complicated relationship between a mild-mannered Israeli professor and a spicy Mexican salsa dancer (“Salsa Tel Aviv,” shown in collaboration with San Diego’s Latino Film Festival.) The selection committee consists of 12 members, plus Kraus. They have their tentacles out in all directions, soliciting submissions, reading reviews, traveling to other Jewish film fests. (There are currently 80 of them in the U.S.) In April, they start screening films for the following February. “We already have 50 films waiting for next year,” Kraus said.

Quilted Beatles homage comes to Visions Museum

ROMANTIC Photo

CAUGHT ON CAMERA

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Over the years, The Beatles have been honored by film, stage, and musical tributes, but probably never before in the medium of quilts. On Feb. 3, the small but mighty Visions Art Museum will present 43 pieces in homage to the Fab Four at an artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reception, part of the monthly First Friday event at Liberty Station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magical Mystery Tourâ&#x20AC;? is the theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;challenge competitionâ&#x20AC;? from Canyon Quilters, a University City group that includes many of Visionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; members. The challenge: To come up with a 14-inch-square quilt inspired by the Beatles. Judy Warren-Tippets, a local resident who is also a Visions board member, was pleased to have her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lucy in the Sky with Diamondsâ&#x20AC;? chosen for the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come up with any ideas,â&#x20AC;? she confessed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I went online and found a list of their song titles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they wrote about 200 songs! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my memories of the tunes came flooding back. And â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lucyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sounded like so much fun for an art quilt.â&#x20AC;? Fun is definitely the key word for this exhibit, which promises to be a real crowd-pleaser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quilts are whimsical, the artists are local ... Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to like?â&#x20AC;? said Visions Executive Director, Beth Smith. But wait ... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. There will actually be three shows and a total of 118 quilts on display at Visions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art Meets Scienceâ&#x20AC;? is a traveling exhibit of 35 quilts by artists from eight countries, inspired by such unlikely subjects as binary fission, the RNA of microscopic worms, the anatomy of the swine flu virus, and computer-generated images of fractal geometry, which scientists use to describe chaos in the natural world. These beautiful quilts from SAQA (Studio Art Quilts Association) are any-

Last but not least is a display of 40, 12-inch-square quilts from the Del Thomas Collection. Del Thomas, who has lived in Southern California since the 1950s, started making quilts as a child in Oregon. Her work has appeared in magazines and various exhibits, and she has collected some 180 contemporary quilts of all sizes

from all over the world, which she frequently lends to museums and galleries, to promote the art quilts she loves so well. A strong and continuing supporter of Visions, she will be honored by the museum at the exhibitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening by having the main gallery renamed for her. Judy Warren-Tippets said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to seeing all the quilts on display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing the Beatles show, because art quilting hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet developed when they were performing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really started to emerge in the 1980s, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge category, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilling that we in San Diego have a worldclass art quilt venue and that Visions is on the map in the international art world.â&#x20AC;?

Next La Jolla Symphony & Chorus concert: Brahms, Verdi, Adams, premiere The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) presents its third concert of the 57th season with music director Steven Schick leading the orchestra and guest soloists in a program of stark and very beautiful drama: Verdi’s overture to La Forza del Destino, Nicholas Deyoe’s still getting rid of (2011-2012 Thomas Nee Commission), John Adams’ The Wound Dresser, and Brahm’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor. Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny), was based on a Spanish drama, Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino (1835), by Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas. The story is a classic one of love and bloody revenge featuring a young nobleman who has fallen in love with a woman whose father prohibits her from marrying him. The opera was first performed in St. Petersburg in 1862. The overture is part of the standard orchestral repertoire and a favored concert opener. The performances take place Feb. 11–12 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD. Concert times are 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Individual tickets are $29 general, $26 senior, and $15 student. Group discounts are available. Parking is free. A pre-concert lecture is offered one hour prior to concert times.
