Planners oppose proposed district change

By Karen Billing Staff Writer The city of San Diego is in the process of re-drawing its eight districts and eventually will add a ninth. One local group is pitching a plan that would move Carmel Valley from District 1 to District 5.

The Asian and Pacific American Coalition (APAC) has taken an active interest in the City Council’s redistricting committee as they see it as a way to bring together a new district that includes the large Asian populations in Mira Mesa (District 5) and Rancho Penasquitos (District 1)— Asian Americans make up 48 percent of the population in Mira Mesa and 37 percent of Rancho Penasquitos.

“Naturally those two areas have a common interest,” said APAC member Dr. Allen Chan at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on Jan. 27. “We think that it’s time that our interests be represented.”

With APAC’s new district map, Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch would be in District 5 with Rancho Bernardo and other communities to the east.

The Torrey Hills and Torrey Pines communities would remain in District 1.

The planning board did not respond favorably to APAC’s plan.

“This plan takes my community away from my community of interest and

Bond measure considered for voter approval by high school district Facilities Task Force presents findings to San Dieguito Union High School District board

By Marsha Sutton Staff Writer A facilities workshop held Jan. 18 presented San Dieguito Union High School District board members with the latest findings of a Facilities Task Force formed in December 2008 to explore facilities needs for the dis-

trict for the next 50 years.

At the meeting, board members gave cautious approval to consider a bond measure to bring before voters in 2012 to fund some or all of the projects. The district will now move forward “with a planning process over the next nine months

that will culminate in a “go/no go” decision for a November 2012 bond levy,” said SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah, emphasizing that no decision has yet been made to proceed with the bond measure.

Noah said trustees “will exercise significant discrimi-

nation in determining precisely what should be presented to voters, both in projects and cost, if the decision to place a bond on the ballot is made.”

The need for more dollars has been driven by the state’s severe cuts to education in recent years, as well

June start likely for CV hotel construction

By Karen Billing Staff Writer Last year might have been the final year to get Halloween pumpkins or Christmas trees at the vacant lot on El Camino Real—developers are aiming for June to begin construction on the new Carmel Valley Residence Inn. The eight-story, 118room hotel will be located across the street from the Doubletree, next to the Del Mar Marriott and Hampton Inn. At the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on Jan. 27, the board approved a small

as diminishing developer fees, deteriorating facilities and the district’s stated desire to provide equity for students at each of the district’s schools.

School districts, Noah said, must prepare a summa-

elevator penthouse for the top of the building and one additional room as the developers decided to change a resident manager’s quarters into an additional room. The elevator penthouse does not change the roofline or elevation at all.

“The hotel market suffered dramatically over the last three years, but we’re seeing a fairly decent recovery which is encouraging,” said Hunter Oliver of Prospect Street Hotel Partners.

Construction bids for the 120,960-square-foothotel went out in January.

Del Mar Highlands Town Center upgrade halfway finished

By Karen Billing Staff Writer Del Mar Highlands Town Center Manager Elizabeth Schreiber said they have reached the halfway point in their ren-

ovations on the shopping center, with the project expected to be complete by mid-July. The center’s “re-imaging” is bringing improved parking, more restaurants and a com-

pletely revamped UltraStar Cinemas.

“We’re focusing now on a tremendous amount of work in the amphitheater,” Schreiber said of the area that is completely

walled off.

In the amphitheater area the popular children’s fountain will be replaced with a new one and five new shops will be added.

On the second level on

top of the shops will be a large patio area with a fire pit and outdoor furniture.

Expert sheds light on the prescription drug abuse gripping youth

By Marlena Chavira-Medford Staff Writer A generation ago, drug addictions were something formed in seedy alleys, in bad parts of town. Today, that’s no longer true. An alarming number of those addictions are starting at home, in the medicine cabinet — especially among kids.

According to the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, prescription drugs are the second most abused illegal drug (behind marijuana) by kids ages 12 to 17, and the most commonly abused drug among kids ages 12 to 13.

“It’s a national epidemic, and it’s happening here in San Diego County,” deputy district attorney Matthew Williams told an audience at Calvary Lutheran Church in Solana Beach during a Jan. 26 talk about prescription drug abuse. “If you think it’s not happening in our back yard, think again.”

In fact, from 2005 to 2009, San Diego County saw a staggering 74 percent spike in deaths related to prescription drugs.

“A big reason for that is we’re seeing a whole new generation of drug addicts who see pills as a cure-all,” he said. “Think about it: When you turn on the TV today, every other commercial is for some magic pill. That wasn’t the case when we were growing up. We now have a generation of kids who think it’s normal to take a pill for everything.”

But those pills can be deadly, namely OxyContin, a narcotic pain reliever.

“When kids take these pills they’re putting heroin in their mouths,” he said of the prescription pills, which are synthetically similar to heroin, and can be ingested, snorted, smoked or shot through a syringe. “These pills are every

bit as dangerous as heroin, every bit as deadly as heroin, and every bit as addictive as heroin.”

Most OxyContin users start taking a quarter of a pill per day, and within just a few months, graduate up to eight pills a day. And at upwards of $80 a pill, a lot of addicts end up switching to heroin because it’s cheaper.

The rash of OxyContin use started locally in affluent North County neighbors, such as Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Carmel Valley, said San Diego Sheriff’s Sergeant Dave Ross, a 21-year police veteran who helped establish the OXY Task Force in San Diego.

“While working undercover, I’ve picked up about a thousand pills right here down the street,” Ross said, pointing to the gas station off Via de la Valle and Stevens roads. “This area continues to be a hot spot for OxyContin.”

The problem is, a lot of parents don’t know it. North County resident Jodi Frantz was one of the many parents who was oblivious to the prescription drug epidemic — that is, until her own son Patrick became an addict. He tried OxyContin for the first time in 2007 when he was a senior at Torrey Pines High School, she said. After a three-year battle with the drug, he died this summer from an overdose.

“The last time I stood here was when I eulogized my own son’s funeral,” she told the audience inside the Solana Beach church through tears. “Seven months ago, my family lived an indescribable nightmare. I received the phone call no parent wants.

“Our grief is indescribable. Our loss is permanent. And my son’s death was unnecessary. The proverbial question of

‘why?’ may never be answered, but the lesson is do not ever take this drug. Not even once. OxyContin addiction is a horrible game of Russian Roulette.”

Frantz’s story is, unfortunately, becoming increasingly common in North County. Story after story flashed across the screen of addiction ending in tragedy, and a handful of local parents who had lost their children to OxyContin also stood to be recognized. Sherrie Rubin, a Poway mother, took the stage to share the story of her son Aaron who overdosed on OxyContin when he was 23. As a result, he suffered a heart attack and two strokes.

Now 28, her son is a quadriplegic and unable to speak.

“My son’s so-called friends found him in the morning and he had turned blue,” she told the audience, with her son in a wheelchair next to her. “They called the pharmacy in Mexico where they had gotten the pills. And they called a buddy who was an EMT, who told them to call 911 immediately. But they did not call 911. Instead, they dragged my son to the car and took him to the hospital. When the doctors asked what had happened to him, they said they had no idea.

“I’m here to tell you all, the people you take pills with are not your friends.

An addict only cares about one thing, and it’s not you. My son’s story is proof of that.

“Prescription pill abuse is a quiet epidemic nobody wants to talk about. But we have to get the message out. Things have to change.”

In an effort to help bring about that change, Rubin and her husband Mike recently founded a nonprofit organization called H.O.P.E. Inc. (Heroin, Opiates, and Prescription pill Education). She

urged parents to take what they were hearing to heart.

“What you see here tonight is just a tiny little glimpse into the epidemic that’s happening right here,” she said. “But by hearing this information and these stories, you are getting an opportunity we never had.”

TIPS FOR PARENTS: San Diego Sheriff’s Sergeant Dave Ross said that while OxyContin continues to be one of the most abused prescription drugs, other pills such as Vicodin, Xanax, Valium, Lortab and Hydrocodone are not far behind.

What are some warning signs of drug abuse?

Sgt. Ross said because parents see their kids every day, it can be difficult to peg changes. However, he urged the audience to keep a sharp eye for: •Withdrawl from family events •Frequently leaving the house, or being caught in lies •A decline in academic or work performance •Items turn up missing from the house, or the child starts having money issues •Extreme weight loss, a weakened immune system, watery and sunken eyes, poor complexion, frequent drowsiness and tremors What should parents do to keep tabs on their kids?

Sgt. Ross, who is a father to two teenagers, encouraged parents to “dig for the hard answers,” and told them they “shouldn’t be your kid’s friend. You need to be their parent, not an enabler.” He suggested that parents: •Start checking their child’s social sites, like Facebook and MySpace, or texts for inappropriate conversations •Search their rooms for paraphernalia, including tinfoil, hollowed-out pens, lighters, hose clamps, syringes and spoons Where are kids getting these drugs?

•Illegal Internet sites that allow people to order prescription drugs online •Pharmacy thefts •Smuggling pills across the border from pharmacies in Mexico •Parents’ medicine cabinets If you or someone you know needs help, contact the Oxy Hotline at 877-662-6384.

Donations of flags from around the world needed at TPHS library media center

By Karen Billing Walking into the Torrey Pines High School library media center at the heart of campus, one of the first things you notice is the flags, hanging from the rafters representing nations of the world.

“It’s just a beautiful way to display the diversity on our campus,” said Lisa Goldberg, library media teacher. “It’s special I think.”

Over the years, families and foreign exchange students have donated flags to make sure their countries are represented.

It’s been a great tradition, but Goldberg said the trouble is the school is turning 36 years old this year and some of the flags have aged.

“Some of the flags are really old and many are faded and dusty,” said Goldberg, noting the German flag was there when she came to work at the school 26 years ago.

National flags are needed for the TPHS library media center.

Since they started the replacement project last year they’ve received a good response, but they still have a need for many flags. Goldberg hopes community

members will help keep the tradition going.

Flags needed include: Argentina, Armenia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China. Columbia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, France, Great Britain, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Lebanon, Macau, Malaysia. Nicaragua, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Venezuela and Vietnam.

Preferable replacement size is a 3 by 5 feet and 4 by 6 feet is a maximum acceptable size. Check sites such as flago.com or flagstuff.com. Flags can be sent to the library or flag-tagged monetary donations can be made to the TPHS Foundation/Friends of the Library.

For more information, e-mail Lisa Goldberg at lisa.Goldberg@sduhsd.net.

Ron Reagan describes search for father’s ‘solitary core’

By Susan DeMaggio Staff Writer Ron Reagan proved he’s every bit The Great Communicator’s son as he entertained an audience of 100 guests at the Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla on Jan. 26 with tales of growing up with actor/politician/statesman Ronald Reagan as his father.

His storytelling would do dad proud.

Ron, age 53, came to town as a guest of The Revelle Forum to promote his book, “My Father at 100,” which debuted Jan. 18 at No. 13 on the New York Times bestsellers list. He was interviewed on stage by Phyllis Pfeiffer, publisher of this newspaper.

Ron told the audience that he wrote the book as his father’s 100th birthdate approached, with the hope of discovering the “10 percent of my dad’s isolated core that he closely guarded, and that even my mom couldn’t penetrate.”

Ron said he began to piece together impressions of his father’s early years by using the archives at the

Phyllis Pfeiffer, publisher of this newspaper, interviews Ron Reagan at the Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla on Jan. 26.

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley and by taking trips to the Midwest towns his father grew up in. His findings, he said, led him to the conclusion that “Dad, early on, began to create a template for his life, deciding this is what I want to be: a real hero. He worked on this all

his life.”

He said he realized that his dad, who was nearsighted, small for his age, and (due to the family’s many relocations) always the new kid on the block and chased by bullies, admired the local football players and high school leaders and strove to be like them.

He joked that his father “had a great capacity for denial,” which probably came from disappointing and unresolved experiences with his father, Jack, who was a heavy drinker, though “not an alcoholic,” according to Ron. Those tough early years likely led to Reagan’s soli-

tary core. “Dad was content on his own, comfortable with himself. He didn’t need a lot of friends,” Ron said.

“The great thing about my Dad, was that what you saw is what you got. He was truly a man without cynicism, without guile. He meant the best all the time.

His sincere character was key to his popularity; people could see his fundamental decency.”

Ron addressed the critics, among them stepbrother, Michael, who said the book was written for personal gain and implies President Reagan had Alzheimer’s disease while in office. Ron denied the claims, defying critics to find any passages that said such.

(Reagan died from Alzheimer’s disease at age 93. He left office in 1989 and in a letter to the American people in 1994 revealed the diagnosis received that year.)

When asked what his mother Nancy (now age 90 and “doing very well,”) thought of the book, Ron

BOND continued from page 1 ry of the projects proposed for expenditures of General Obligation bonds and are restricted from using the money to offset general fund operating costs. A bond, he said, would be specifically for school facilities and capital improvements.

A parcel tax, by contrast, can be used for any educational or operational expense, he said, which could include salaries, benefits, teaching positions, supplies, equipment and facilities. Both, however, result in an increase in property taxes.

Passage of a bond measure requires 55 percent of voter approval, while a parcel tax requires a two-thirds vote, making a parcel tax harder to pass. But because there is a lower threshold for passage of a G.O. bond, a community-based, citizens’ oversight committee is required to monitor the allocation of bond money and ensure that bond proceeds are spent according to the intent of the measure, Noah said. Parcel taxes have no such requirement.

Noah further differentiated between the two, saying that most parcel taxes are from four to seven years in length, while G.O. bonds generally result in a tax levy over decades, resulting in a lower annual cost to the taxpayer but for a longer period of time.

The district, Noah said, is not recommending or considering a parcel tax.

Noah said each site will now form a planning group to review the work that’s being proposed for that site, to determine if the earlier assumptions still hold and if there are new considerations that warrant refinement of the site plan.

“Once we’re completed with that, we’ll have a better sense of what the real cost of a bond would be that we would consider submitting,” Noah said.

The district will also consider whether there is sufficient community support for a bond measure. And if California Gov. Jerry Brown is able to extend temporary taxes to address the deficit crisis, Noah said that might affect the level of support San

HIGHLANDS continued from page 1 is under construction and should open in July, and, close by, the lease was signed for a new Mediterranean-style eatery. Across the road from those establishments, Urban

Carmel Valley News Dieguito voters would have for a local bond.

“If any of those things don’t come together, then I think it would be awfully difficult to go out for a bond levy,” he said.

Potential funding mechanisms include district-wide General Obligation bonds that would levy a tax on all property within the school district, including those within existing Community Facilities Districts where property owners already pay taxes for schools and other improvements.

The G.O. bonds would be issued in a series of four, with terms of 25 to 40 years each. The initial proposal suggested a tax of $21 per $100,000 of assessed value of the property.

An alternative being considered is to create a School Facilities Improvement District which would allow the district to levy the bond tax on only those properties outside existing CFDs. To raise the needed money, a suggested rate of $28 per $100,000 of assessed value would be needed.

Voters surveyed To better understand voters’ knowledge of the San Dieguito Union High School District and their receptivity to a possible bond measure, the district authorized a telephone survey, which was conducted last December. About 600 randomly selected registered voters residing in the district who were deemed “likely to cast a ballot in the November 2012 statewide election” were contacted.

Key questions of concern for the district were how the community views education compared to other pressing issues and what types of facilities or facility improvements the community would support.

The survey found that 63 percent of voters correctly identified the name of their high school district. Seventy-five percent identified government waste and inefficiency as the most serious local problem. That was followed by 67 percent most concerned with the lack of jobs, 63 percent with the effect of budget cuts on public schools, 60 percent with the economy, 53 percent with illegal immigration, 48 percent with drugs and drug abuse, 31 percent with the amount paid in local property taxes, and 26

percent were most concerned about the quality of public education.

When asked if they would support a $350 million bond for local middle and high schools, 32 percent said definitely, 27 percent said probably, 21 percent said definitely not, and 11 percent said probably not. The margin for error is 4 percent.

Other survey findings included a list of voters’ top priorities for education, which were hiring and retaining qualified teachers, ensuring that bond money is not used for administrators’ salaries, fixing leaky roofs, expanding career and technical education, requiring annual audits, upgrading technology, and removing asbestos and lead paint.

A summary showed that the strongest supporters of a bond measure were Democrats, women, voters ages 18 to 49, and those with school-age children.

Republicans were evenly split on bond support.

Independent voters, identified as key, accounted for 61 percent of voters in the district. Support varied little from city to city within the district, nor was there much difference between voters living within or outside of a Community Facilities District.

The district’s total wish list comes to about $292 million, although it’s $274 million once the $18 million for the two already completed solar projects is deducted.

Expenses for Sunset Continuation High School and miscellaneous costs make up the difference.

Noah said both new middle schools are needed.

“The question is by when,” he said. Although there has been a slowing in growth, he said the timing is mostly economically driven. “At some point in time, we’re going to need the facilities in both areas.”

High Schools: Canyon Crest: $15.4 million Torrey Pines: $65.1 million La Costa Canyon: $13

million San Dieguito: $53.8 million Broken down by area, the estimated cost for total facilities needs in the northern part of the district comes to about $128.8 million. In the south, the estimated cost is about $140 million. Each half contains two middle schools and two high schools.

Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon High School were originally listed as needing $24 million and $22 million, respectively, but solar projects included on the list – costing $8.6 million and $9 million, respectively – have already been completed.

In addition to these eight schools and Sunset

Continuation High School, two new middle schools are projected – one for the northern portion of the district and one for the south.

The cost for the northern middle school, where the district already owns the land, is listed at $26.3 million.

The projected cost for a new middle school in the south is $55.3 million, including $8.2 million for land acquisition. This is expected to be offset by about $31 million in state funding and developer fees, bringing the anticipated cost to about $24.3 million.

Canyon Crest and the new middle school would be located adjacent to one another, with a plan for some shared-use facilities.

Enrollment numbers Projects at Canyon Crest Academy include construction of a new $12-million two-story classroom building, which would increase the school’s capacity to 2,200 students. Current enrollment is nearly 1,900. About $7 million in athletic field upgrades and $8.3 million in soft costs make up the rest. This amount would be offset by about $12.2 million in anticipated money from the state and developers.

Although Canyon Crest was originally marketed as a small school compared to Torrey Pines, Noah said keeping CCA’s enrollment at 1,800 is not necessary when the school can handle 2,200.

“The long-range planning committee felt that a school of 2,200 was very doable,” he said, adding that it was difficult to deny access to CCA if there is demand and room.

At Torrey Pines High School, new construction is estimated to cost about $13.8 million, while modernization expenses are estimated at about $28.6 million. A solar project would cost $8.4 million, with other miscellaneous expenses estimated to be about $21.9 million. About $7.9 million is expected from the state, leaving a $65.1 million bill – the most expensive project on the list.

Enrollment at Torrey Pines is currently about 2,560 but is expected to grow in 10 years to 3,600 students.

Maximum capacity at Torrey Pines is listed as 3,488 students, with preferred capacity of 3,011.

Projects by school site The long-range facilities plan reviewed student demographics, economic trends, housing development and other factors to determine district facilities needs for the next 50 years. The potential projects include modernization, capital improvements, technology upgrades, demolition, expansion of existing facilities, and new school construction.

The district identified about $292 million worth of facilities projects, although a final bond measure may only include funding for a portion of the projects on the list.

From data shared at a board workshop in March 2010, the breakdown by school is as follows: Middle Schools: Carmel Valley: $5.2 million Earl Warren: $30 million Diegueno: $17.5 million Oak Crest: $18.2 million

School needs the least amount of facilities improvements, according to the district’s report. Enrollment is currently about 1,470 and is projected to increase in 10 years to 1,675 students.

Maximum capacity is 1,545, and preferred capacity is 1,331.

Noah said the addition of a new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch would ease over-enrollment at CVMS, and put each school at about 1,000 students.

Earl Warren, the middle school with the fewest students, requires the most money. Current enrollment is 704, projected enrollment in 10 years is 803, and capacity is 1,005.

No modernization is recommended for Earl Warren.

Rather, the plan calls for $18.7 million in new construction, $6 million in site improvements and $7.4 million in miscellaneous costs.

“Earl Warren would have a significant renovation,” said Noah, who noted that Earl Warren is no longer central to an attendance area due to shifting populations.

This may mean the school’s focus eventually transforms into “something unique that would make it a school of interest,” he said.

On the report’s “must do” project list are federal and state compliance codes for disabilities, fire, safety, hazardous material and infrastructure issues. The “should do” list includes technology upgrades, furniture and equipment, libraries, labs, gyms, athletic fields, theaters and performing arts needs.

Also on the list is the need for parity among schools, energy efficient systems and the replacement of portable classrooms.

The Facilities Task Force consists of 28 members and includes six teachers, six parents, five representatives of business and community organizations, two students and a number of other district and regional officials.

The San Dieguito Union High School District serves over 12,000 students in grades 7 through 12 and stretches from Carmel Valley in the south, east to Pacific Highlands Ranch and Rancho Santa Fe, and north to the southern edge of Carlsbad.

including those on Townsgate Drive.

All shops and restaurants remain open through the ongoing construction. For more information, visit delmarhighlandstowncenter.com

Local golfer makes his mark at Torrey Pines

By Phil Dailey Staff Writer Before local resident Anthony Paolucci teed off at the Farmers Insurance Open last week he described his first PGA Tour event as a win-win situation. After making the cut and finishing the tournament with a 3-under par — tied for 29th — there's no doubt that he was right about his assessment. Paolucci, who is a senior at La Jolla Country Day, made waves all tournament long as he showed just how talented he is and just how bright his future might be.

He finished the event ahead of golf's No. 3ranked player, Tiger Woods, who ended the tournament at 1-under par. Not to mention the 70-plus professionals who failed to make the cut.

For anyone who has followed the short career of Paolucci, it may not have been that big of a surprise how well he played. After all, he's the No. 1-ranked junior golfer in the country and has committed to play at USC in the fall.

What might be most impressive about Paolucci's four rounds was just how consistent he was. He carded a 70 on the South Course during the first day, a 71 on the North Course on day two. During the weekend, he carded back-to-back 72s on the South Course.

From the outside, the 18-year-old looked as though he had nerves of steel and was going about his game as though nobody was watching. Inside, however, he said it was much different. "I was really nervous," Paolucci said. "My legs where shaking the first couple holes."

By Friday afternoon, he knew he was likely in contention to make the cut.

"I just knew if I just kept playing solid I would have a really good chance of making it," he said. Paolucci birdied No. 18 just to make sure.

For Anthony's father, Mike, his expectations were a bit mixed heading into the event.

"Playing in your first Tour event and making the cut, it's just unrealistic to think that would happen, particularly if you're in high school," he said. "But on the other hand, I've seen him play several practice rounds (at Torrey Pines) and I've seen him play the last few months and he has been making a lot of birdies and he has been hitting the ball incredibly well, so in the back of my mind I was thinking, 'Maybe he does have chance because he's been playing so well.' I've said before, ‘It's all going to come down to his nerves and how he handles that, 'cause I knew he has the game to play I just didn't know if he could manage his emotions.’"

A good move The Paolucci family made the move to San Diego County about 16 months ago from Dallas. Mike Paolucci took a new job in

Carlsbad at L i f e Technologies, a biotechnology tools company. For the y o u n g e r Paolucci he quickly got hooked up at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, a move Mike said has had a profound impact on his son's game. " T i t l e s t Performance Institute has Anthony Paolucci basically taken Photo/Phil Dailey control of every aspect of his game," Mike Paolucci said. "From his physical fitness to his golf swing to his short game to his clubs to chiropractors, massage, physical therapist — every aspect they are treating him like a Tour player. There's no doubt in my mind that if it weren't for the Titleist Performance Institute, he wouldn't have been (playing in the Farmers)."

Making friends with Lefty While living in this area, the Paoluccis have forged a bond with one of the top golfers in the world in Phil Mickleson. Both are members at The Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe. "Phil has been incredibly positive to Anthony about how he can play and that he's got the game," Mike Paolucci said.

Mickleson and Anthony played a practice round at Torrey Pines where, according to Mike, Mickleson gave him "a lot of instruction on where to hit the ball." Their bond was on display Friday after Anthony finished his second round. Mickleson spotted Paolucci as he finished signing his score card and said to the youngster, "Congrats, let's have a good weekend." Mickleson nearly won the tournament, as he finished second with a 15-under. What's next? Paolucci will be off to another tournament this weekend as he plays in the Jones Cup Invitational at Sea Island, Ga. The event features the top male junior golfers in America.

"After this one I don't have anything scheduled until the end of March," Paolucci said. He plans on playing in The Azalea Invitational which takes place in Charleston, S.C. and starts on March 24.

Hydroponic gardening company supports veterans by going green

By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer After three Iraq tours as an infantry sergeant with the Marines, Collin Archipley was ready for a change of pace — but he couldn’t see himself returning to the 9-to-5 grind. His wife, Karen, saw his return home as a golden opportunity to pursue her dream of moving to Italy, but her husband was set on staying in California.

“So, we compromised and he found me Italy here,” she says of their 3acre plot just outside Escondido. Since 2005, this is where the Archipleys have run Archi’s Acres, a hydro-

ponic farm where local produce is grown and sold to nearby markets.

“Gardening proved to be a natural stress reliever for my husband,” Archipley said. “There is something therapeutic about being out there.”

Thinking it might have the same effect on other combat veterans, they launched the Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training (VSAT) program, which helps veterans make a living in the civilian world by teaching them the ins and outs of hydroponic gardening, including greenhouse construction. That six-week course has been such a success that it is now

open to anybody who wants to learn the trade, and enrollment is handled through Mira Costa Community College.

Hydroponic gardening consumes 75 to 90 percent less water than traditional agricultural systems, something that is especially important in a region where future water resources are limited. Because of that, the Archipleys have decided to broaden their scope by expanding their concept off their farm and in to more North County communities. To make that happen, Archi’s Acres recently partnered with North Countybased Kira Construction to form AgroEcology, a compa-

ny that uses veteran labor to build greenhouses for hydroponic gardening.

“The thought behind this is we can have our veterans build greenhouses in communities that would like to grow their own produce for the local food bank, or farmers market,” Archipley said. “The community can pitch in and maintain the greenhouse, or they can hire a veteran from our VSAT program to maintain it for them. This is not us putting a hand out in the community saying, ‘Please give us something.’ This is us putting in something that will sustain itself. It helps the community, it helps the environment, and it helps our veterans. We want to see this concept start here in North County and then ripple out across the country.”

Ralph Cox, owner of Kira Construction, said these greenhouses do especially well in North County’s perpetually warm climate, and if space is an issue, they can even be built on a rooftop. And even a small greenhouse at 120 x 35 feet can generate about $75,000 in income for a family, he said.

“And, of course, this all

Archi’s Acres hydroponic farm partnered with Kira Construction to form AgroEcology, a company that uses veteran labor to build greenhouses for hydroponic gardening. (Courtesy) feeds back into the mission of helping our veterans,” Cox said, who is also a U.S. veteran. “Veterans know what it is to live a missiondriven lifestyle, and they are the hardest working, most trustworthy employees I’ve ever had. This is the next greatest generation of America. Empowering them with a way to make a living is the best way we can honor those who have served.”

You can find Archi’s Acres produce at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market every Sunday (located at the Del Rayo Center, 16079 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067) and at Jimbo’s Naturally grocery stores.

Carmel Valley chef opens SD’s first pop-up restaurant By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer Major foodie hubs like Los Angeles and New York are seeing the rise of pop-up dining: long-established restaurants that allow new chefs to temporarily operate out of their kitchens, running an entirely new concept out of the same space.

So, by day the restaurant may be a casual sandwich shop, and by night change into a gourmet dining hotspot with a new name, décor and menu.

Carmel Valley chef Dan Moody is bringing that trend to North County with his pop-up restaurant Relate, which will operate out of St. Germain’s in Encinitas from Feb. 3 to 26.

Every night that Relate is operating here, the restaurant will undergo a complete transformation and offer a frequently changing prix fixe menu for around $50 per person. Though the menu will change regularly, Moddy said the cuisine will be contemporary French with a down-home American flare.

“My hope is that Relate will satisfy the inquisitive ‘foodies’ who have high expectations of the food, as well as those who are simply curious about the pop-up concept,” said Moody, who is also known as “The RelationChef” because he sees cooking as a way of expressing love, showing hospitality and ultimately bringing people together.

“Pop-up dining isn’t just about going out to eat. It’s a an experience.”

Carmel Valley chef Dan Moody will open San Diego County’s first pop-up restaurant in Encinitas on Feb. 3.

Because of that, Moody will also be doing several cooking demonstrations, and he’s created wine and craft beer pairings.

Moody decided to open Relate after having gained extensive experience through the launch and ongoing support as Sous Chef at LudoBites — one of LA’s most popular pop-up concepts by Chef Ludo Lefebvre, who was recently named one of the World’s 50 Greatest Chefs by Relais & Chateaux. Moody has also hosted evenings at Test Kitchen LA – a showcase by restaurateurs which allows for experimentation and testing of new ideas and concepts by various well-

known and upcoming chefs.

Moody graduated from Torrey Pines High School so bringing pop-up dining to his old stomping grounds is especially rewarding, he said.

“North County has a really vibrant dining scene, so I’m happy to have found a way to be a part of it,” he said.

Relate will operate out of St. Germain’s at 1010 S. Coast Highway 101, #103, Encinitas, CA 92024. Its hours of operation will be Tuesday through Saturday, Feb. 3 – Feb. 26, 6 to 10 p.m.

Local resident’s film featured in SD Jewish Film Festival

By Leigh Ann Dewey Contributor At age 105, local resident Laura Simon savors each day. “I enjoy life every moment that I am here,” said Simon. “I find life fascinating.”

A visual artist, author and playwright, Simon is one of an extraordinary group of people in their 90s and 100s featured in “Over 90 and Loving It.” The documentary film, written and produced by local resident and filmmaker Susan Polis Schutz, is part of the 21st Anniversary San Diego Jewish Film Festival, which will feature 45 films shown over 10 days.

The festival is sponsored by the Leichtag Family Foundation and presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. What began in 1989 as a small event in the center gym with a projector on a ladder has grown to be the third largest film festival in the United States, said festival producer Sandra Kraus.

An estimated 16,000 people are expected to view this

Opening the festival Feb. 10 is ‘Berlin 36,’ an account of German Olympic high jumper Gretel Bergmann. (Courtesy) year’s films, to be screened Feb. 10-20 at five theaters in San Diego and North County.

“All of the films (reflect) a Jewish point of view,” said festival Chair Helen Fleming, “but you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy them. We are reaching out to the entire community. There is something for everyone.”

Special events will include a “Baby and Me” screening, with films designed for babies and mothers; a FlixMix for people in their 20s to 40s; and a Teen Screen with movies

and pizza for teenagers.

Talks by filmmakers and their subjects, including Schutz and Simon, also will be presented. “Over 90 and Loving It” will be the featured film at the Joyce Forum at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Clairemont Reading Cinemas 14 theater, 4665 Clairemont Drive, San Diego.

Schutz turned her hobby of writing poetry into a commercial venture by founding Blue Mountain Greeting Cards with her husband Stephen in 1971.

She has written 10 books and produced four docu-

mentary films. She said she was inspired to make “Over 90 and Loving It” while watching a 90-year-old band leader and saxophonist perform in New York City.

“I was so enthralled with him and his spirit,” she said, so she began seeking out other inspirational seniors throughout the country. Subjects include folk singer and activist Pete Seeger, 91; and “Granny D” Haddock, a political activist who walked more than 3,200 miles to advocate for campaign finance reform.

She died last March at age 100.

“Each person has a different story,” said Schutz. “but they have common characteristics,” including keeping a positive attitude, never worrying, not thinking about their age, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following their passion.

Simon said she is honored to be in the film. She previously appeared in a documentary film featuring senior writers. An avid learner, she has audited numerous classes at UCSD. “I’ve been going to school my entire life,” she said.

With the help of Sage Canyon P.E. instructor, Trent Tracy, the kids from Kids Korp played Alien Invasion and Knights and Kings with the 38 children currently residing at the home. Additionally, all the kids enjoyed crafts and snacks. The Kids Korp kids made some new friends on this outing and all the kids felt a special bond with each other.

New look, same Comedy Store

By Kirby Brooks Contributor When driving down Pearl Street in La Jolla, it’s hard to miss The Comedy Store — or at least it was.

The venue has been stripped of its signature ivy vines and now features a fresh coat of black paint.

I went to investigate what provoked the makeover to see if the anything changed inside the La Jolla landmark.

Opened by Sammy and Mitzi Shore (of the same comedic family as Pauly Shore) as an offshoot of The Comedy Store on Hollywood’s famed site of debauchery, Sunset Strip, the first incarnation of The Comedy Store in San Diego was in nearby Pacific Beach.

With the exception of a short stint at a location on Prospect, The Comedy Store has been a Pearl Street mainstay since the venue moved there in 1977.

Comedy clubs come and go in San Diego, but The Comedy Store is an institution, and for the past six years comic Mike Vinn has been largely responsible for filling the seats. Vinn started out working the door and seating, and eventually began honing his standup skills on open mic nights.

When I sat down with Vinn, who now runs and manages The Comedy Store, handling everything from promotion to bartending to delivering his own standup routines (catch him Wednesdays, Thursday and Sundays), I had to address the ivy issue immediately.

Vinn’s answer, however, was somewhat anticlimactic. “The ivy was overwhelming the building’s exterior so we decided to get rid of it completely and go back to the black exterior of the venue’s early years.”

Despite The Comedy Store’s new look, it’s busi-

'IFTS 4HAT 7ARM -ORE 4HAN THE (EART

A regular performer, Mike Vinn also manages The Comedy Store. (Courtesy) ness as usual. Tourists and repeat customers (insider tip: sign up for the mailing list to receive free tickets and hear about upcoming events) continue to flock to the venue Wednesday through Sunday.

December is usually the club’s slowest month, but The Comedy Store enjoyed its best December in five years. “There were three sold-out shows in December 2010,” Vinn revealed proudly — proving that laughter is a necessary recessionary provision.

The Comedy Store staff is comprised of up-andcoming comics hoping to work their way up from manning the door, to working the bar, to standup, to eventually performing at their Mecca: The Comedy Store Sunset.

Filing into my seat along with the rest of the Friday night crowd, I could see the playful ribbing between the staff as described by Vinn. Only drinks are served at The Comedy Store, but in place of food is no holds barred comedy. Be forewarned: no topic is taboo.

“What’s funnier? A good dirty joke or a good clean joke? It all depends on

the joke,” says Vinn about the absence of censorship, adding, “Comedy is a form of free speech. You can’t put creative limits on it. It’s an art form.”

There are two show times per weekend night at The Comedy Store, 8 and 10:30 p.m. Whatever time you come, be sure to catch the two opening acts. You won’t regret it.

I never heard of Brandon Christy or Fahim Anwar before seeing them open for headliner Chris D’Ella (irreverent, hilarious) at The Comedy Store, but I have a feeling that will change. When I left the now ivy-less venue it was with cheeks sore from laughing and a slight longing to have been singled out by one of the night’s acts. There’s always next time.

Integrative endocrinologist provides personalized, proactive healthcare

Dr. Danielle Weiss is a boardcertified specialist in both internal medicine and endocrinology and metabolism. She is an integrative endocrinologist practicing in Encinitas at the Center for Hormonal Health and Well-Being.

The concept behind integrative endocrinology is the synergy of western medicine with complementary approaches to create personalized, proactive, and patientcentered healthcare.

Just as you would not wait for your car to break down before Dr. Danielle Weiss bringing it in for routine maintenance, you shouldn't wait for deteriorating health before consulting with your doctor. Unfortunately, this is exactly what the majority of people do! Whether this is out of financial concerns, poor judgment, lack of time or other common excuses, proactive care of one's health has all too often fallen by the wayside.

The failure to prioritize one’s health is obvious as society becomes increasingly overweight, overstressed (physically and mentally) and health isn't given its proper priority.

Health does not simply mean being able to recover from an illness, although this is critically important. Healthy living includes optimal nutrition, fitness, and emotional, mental and spiritual balance. It requires many facets, including restorative sleep, passion, balanced living, and so much more.

The permanence of life on the web

By Ben Gotfredson As I searched through my old computer attempting to find remnants of a deleted middle school paper, I came upon other files. All my files, in fact. Everything I had done, from eleBen mentary school forGotfredson ward, all of this within an aging Mac Book.

Nothing was misplaced, nothing got coffee spilled on it, and nothing went out with the garbage. The permanence of what goes into a computer, specifically online, is a thought that passes most of us by. And for people of my generation, who’ve been using those computers as early as elementary school, 12 years of work is documented and filed away without even hiring a secretary.

For our parents’ generation, as they grew older, it was simply accepted to move on from your past. Your history wasn’t erased, but rather selec-

tively stored among your other memories. Not much was left: essential or pleasant to remember was just that, remembered.

What’s left; everything stemming from your 11th grade research paper to awkward stages of your upbringing disappears into your own history. But for the kids of today (especially the soon-to-be-adults) those memories that you don’t care about, or possibly don’t care for, remain. Whether it’s your first Facebook post or a halfhearted paper written for English class, it sticks with you.

Without any predecessors, it’s tough to predict where a mega website like Facebook or Google is going to end up in the next 10 years. But Vegas odds makers would tell you that Facebook will still be with us come 2030. So with that being assumed, today’s facebook will be tomorrow’s time machine.

Pictures and comments from decades ago are going to be at your fingertips and the fingertips of anyone with access to

this “time machine.”

This new way of documenting one’s life lies in stark contrast the methods that were available to today’s older generations. Today, most grandparents are only able to hang onto a handful of photographs to remember their past. While this new method of archiving a lifetime can keep memories fresh, it also lets you step back into your years past, letting you see your old political views, conversations you had and the parties you went to as a youth.

The New York Times said in a recent article how what we do online remains as a reflection as who we are, or who we wish to be. We build up a persona through what we do online that ultimately stands as a self-made scrapbook that’s available for the world to see.

Is all this a good thing? No one is really sure, but it certainly is different, and teenagers might want to reflect on the permanence of the web presence before their next Facebook status update.

What can you expect from health-care reform?

BY MARC SEDWITZ MD, Scripps Health Nearly one year ago, the Affordable Care Act— more commonly known as the health care reform bill— became law. As its provisions begin to take effect this year, what changes can consumers expect in terms of medical care, insurance

and other health-related issues?

One of the fundamental tenets of the Affordable Care Act is that it makes health care a right to which every American is entitled, rather than a privilege available to those who can afford it. Its key provisions are to provide access to quality, affordable care for all, as well as

enabling patents to choose their doctors. Over the past few years, we have seen health insurance premiums more than double, and many people simply cannot afford to keep paying them; as a result, they may lose access to quality care.

Moreover, current insurance guidelines often deny coverage to people with certain pre-existing conditions, making them uninsurable regardless of whether they can afford the premiums. On the other side of the fence, insurers cannot afford to keep paying increasing medical costs without raising rates or excluding the riskiest patients.

The Affordable Care Act is really more about insurance reform, not health care reform.

Physicians and hospitals need to work together to determine how we can restructure our current health care expenditures and still provide high-quality care. One of the keys to achieving this goal will be to standardize how we provide care across the health spectrum. Currently, we have many different models of physician reimbursement.

Fee-for-service physicians and specialists are compen-

sated differently than primary care physicians, which is leading to a shortage of primary care physicians that will have a major impact in the years ahead. We also have wide variances in how we treat patients. Across the country, we see significant discrepancies in how the same conditions are treated.

Procedures and costs vary greatly, and redundancy creates even more expense. We need to analyze outcomes and determine the “right” way to treat an illness—the “best practices” of health care that deliver quality, effective care at a reasonable cost. Several of the country’s leading health care systems are now sharing their outcome data for major procedures with the goal of identifying “best practices” that deliver high-quality, effective care at an optimal cost.

We also need to prioritize preventive care to help keep people well, rather than wait to care for them when they are sick. Hospital care is responsible for an enormous amount of medical costs; we need to keep people healthy and treat them on an outpatient basis as much as possible to get them through their illnesses quickly and effectively.

What about health insurance? Clearly, the system needs to change. The new law will require that 80 percent of premiums are used to cover health care costs, not administrative expenses. Instead of individual health insurance plans, we will see the formation of health care “co-ops” where people can apply for some of the best insurance available at an affordable rate and give patients choice in which physicians they

where we are.”

When voters approved the strong mayor form of government in 2009, they also approved creating the ninth council district. The redistricting commission is taxed with finding where that ninth district will be.

The new district has to include contiguous land and it is required to have at least 135,000 people, which might mean slicing off pieces of existing districts.

Per San Diego City Charter, the city is required to redraw the districts once

every 10 years, but no later than nine months after the city receives the results of the federal census.

Board members found faults with several points of APAC’s plan. White said the proposed district is not contiguous as Mira Mesa and Penasquitos are separated by the physical barrier of the Los Penasquitos Canyon.

Redistricting also cannot disturb a community planning area. Scott Tillson noted that with APAC’s plan, a piece of Via de la Valle would remain in District 1 which could not happen as it is in the Carmel Valley planning board’s area.

Tillson also pointed out that districts couldn’t be formed on the basis of race.

Tillson said no matter what district people live in they can always vote to elect

see. Businesses, too, will be able to participate in these co-ops to help them cover the costs of insuring employees.

The changes that health care reform will inevitably bring about in the way medicine is delivered and paid for has created a great deal of fear and anxiety among both patients and medical professionals. At the root of much of that fear is uncertainty brought about by change, especially when such a big part of our economy will be affected. We have not tried to deliver health care like this before, so we do not know what to expect—but we do know that the status quo will be unacceptable in the future. There will be some bumps along the way, but have great opportunities for physicians and hospitals to come together to create a health care delivery model that is better than we have ever seen—one that successfully brings quality care to all at an acceptable cost.

SDA won the first two years and CCA has captured the cup the last three years. Each year the game has become more intense both on the field and in the stands.

"Until this year, the two teams played in different leagues and played for the glory of the cup and as a tune-up for their league games.

Now that we are in the same league, the rivalry has become even more intense," said Lockhart.

Played at SDA, at the halfway point SDA led 2-1. But the Ravens came on strong in the second half, scoring 5 goals, ultimately besting the Mustangs 6-3. Goals were scored by Colin Seitz (2), Brady Seitz (2), Brian Doyle, and Steven Quintero. Goalie Greg Sander had six saves including stopping a PK shot in the last minute of the game.

Q. Beverly: What does it mean when a light comes on the dash that says “maintenance required”? I just had the oil changed at a neighborhood gas station so I don’t know why the light would come on. Do you think they broke something?

A. Dave: They forgot to reset your required maintenance light. Look in your owner’s manual and it will walk you through the process or take it back to the garage and ask them to reset it.

Q. Dave: I have a question about the wipers on my car. Since we finally got some rain I found out that the wipers were stuck to my windshield and when I turned them on they ripped the rubber off on the right side. I went to a parts house to get a replacement sine I felt the dealer would be too expensive. What I found out was I had too many choices! The parts person showed me refills, complete heads and arms, heads and refills all in one — the prices were all over the board. I didn’t want to look stupid so I didn’t buy anything. What would you suggest? I hope you can answer this question before the next rainstorm.

A. Dave: Just remember there is no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to your car.

You could use any of the suggestions from the parts person, but the best is just replacing the rubber insert (cost savings). You might be pleasantly surprised to find the dealer is very competitive when it comes to maintenance items. Call your dealer and compare the price for refills. As far as the wipers sticking to the windshield, you need to lubricate the blades occasionally and pull them away from the glass gently so they will not rip in the future.

Q. Gail: I had the weirdest thing happen to me the other day. I drive a Toyota Corolla with only 87,123 miles on it. As I was driving to work I started to hear a screeching sound coming from my speedometer and all of a sudden the speedometer needle started to spin like a clock on steroids. Then, it snapped off and landed in the bottom of the instrumentation pod. The noise continued and to date it still screams at me once I get over 10 miles-perhour. I am a starving student and was wondering if I should fix it and what would it cost? I was also wondering what caused it to do what it did. I hope your answer will fit my pocketbook!

A. Dave: First off, the problem is due to lubrication, or lack there of. As far as the cost, it could be pretty expensive since you may have to replace the speedometer head or the complete speedometer housing. You will need to take it to a shop. You do have a choice — there are speedometer shops and independent general repair shops, or the dealer. Before you go to the dealer remember that Toyota never made parts to fix your problem — they will want to replace the unit. My personal choice would be a wrecking yard. Once you find the correct part take it to a speedometer shop and have it lubed really well before installation and that should take care of the problem. Buying the part from a wrecking yard should fit your pocketbook!

Q. Larry: I am thinking of buying a used Pontiac Solstice but I was wondering, where would I put the front license plate? If you put it in the grille, wouldn’t that affect cooling? All the ones I have seen have no front plate.

A. Dave: I haven’t seen one with a front plate even though I have seen the bracket and it is pretty big and ugly. I would recommend asking your local dealer. They know exactly where it should be mounted.

Accomplished CV musician brings inspirational life lessons to CD

Courtesy

Carmel Valley resident Danny Langdon recently released a CD titled ‘Hard Lessons.’

Every song on this CD is some sort of situation that I have experienced, or one that a family member or close friend has gone through. So these are first-hand interpretations,” he said.

The song “Just a dream” is inspired by Langdon's personal family history. Growing up with seven brothers Langdon experienced the murder of one of them 14 years ago.

“I tried to write that song from my parents' point of view, and to see what it would feel like to have one of your sons murdered,” he said. It was an event that changed his life perspective.

Bitten by the music bug at the age of 15, Langdon, then a bassist, played during the 1980s in New York with the band The Prowlers.

“At the age of 16 we were performing in bars. We each had our

working papers, and had a parent chaperone, and every weekend for several years, we were out playing rockabilly and dance music.”

Langdon learned acoustic guitar and began writing his own material as an adult and was signed with an independent label in New York, Sovereignty International, to produce the first version of “Hard Lessons.” When the company folded Langdon became the producer, too. “I decided no one could promote this as passionately as I could,” he said.

His current manager, Dory Goldman, shares this passion.

“She believes that I have a talent that needs to be recognized, so she has been right there with me, pushing this forward,” said Langdon.

Through Goldman, Langdon has received air time on radio and TV here in San Diego and back in New York. Locally, he has played with Michael Tiernan, at Del Mar's En Fuego, and performs with the Brokers Band at The Kraken in Cardiff-by- the-Sea, and other venues. He is a regular performer at the House of Blues and will be at Lestat's Coffee House on Feb. 17.

Touring and promotion of his

r ou e y ions k t Ma rva Y! e A s D e r TO

album includes monthly trips to New York where Langdon has deep roots. He has an 8-year-old son there and for 20 years worked as director of facilities for an elementary school district.

“I loved the job, but it wasn't my passion. So I decided to leave, move to California and pursue music full-time.”

This leap of faith into professional musician has involved some sacrifice and will take persistence and hard work, Langdon recognizes. But his passion is fueling his determination, and plans in the future include touring nationally, filming a music video, and a follow-up CD. Critics, who have written favorably about Langdon's talent and his debut album, compare him to Bryan Adams and John Mellencamp.

John Blenn of Long Island Entertainment wrote, “He hasn’t got a trophy case with awards he’s brought home from music contests. [But] let me be the first to tell you, Danny Langdon is an absolute gem.”

“Hard Lessons” is available online through Langdon's website www.dannylangdon.com via iTunes, Amazon.com and cdbaby.

By Diane Y. Welch Contributor While music entertains, for singer/songwriter Danny Langdon, it may also be cathartic.

His songs come from his soul and speak of life's challenges, he said.

And through sharing them with the listener, Langdon strives to make a connection, to help others faced with similar challenges find solace.

Langdon, a Carmel Valley resident, has recently released a CD album of his songs. Titled “Hard Lessons,” the work covers topics such as peer pressure, divorce, abuse and death. But his melodies lift the spirit and send a positive note of redemption.

“They bring you to a place of triumph through surrender,” he said.

Songs such as “Save Me,” “Found a Love,” and a cover version of The Edgar Winter Group's “Free Ride” offer people a positive alternative to the “alternative” music they are usually influenced by, he said.

For Langdon, writing songs is as simple as following the melodies in his head.

“I just pick up a guitar, touch the strings, and the music gives my thoughts a place to belong.

The International Bipolar Foundation has as part of its mission to erase stigma associated with mental illness through public education. To that end, they have launched an essay contest open to all high school students in San Diego and Imperial counties.

“Our hope”, says Walker, president and founder of IBPF, “is that students will be interested in winning the prize and thereby research stigma in order to write the essay. In so doing, we will be educating a lot of young people and hopefully changing their perception about mental illness.”

The topic of the essay is “Changing the Future of Stigma; Bipolar Disorder in 2020.” First and second place winners will be judged by a panel of authors who currently write about bipolar disorder and mental illness and the winner will be announced in May to celebrate May as Mental Health Month.

The contest is open to all high school students in San Diego and Imperial counties.

In addition to the first place winner getting two tickets to the Cricket Amphitheatre for the 2011 season, the winner will read his/her essay at a luncheon on May 26 featuring Margaret Trudeau, celebrated Canadian and mental health advocate.

Margaret Trudeau became the youngest Prime Minister's wife in Canadian history when she married Pierre Elliot Trudeau at the age of 22. She has led a rich and interesting life by raising five children and travelling the country and the world extensively.

Trudeau has authored three books, including her latest, “Changing My Mind,” which has topped the bestselling charts. Trudeau discusses with candor and insight the bipolar condition she has struggled with all her life and shares her journey of recovery, acceptance and hope with the wish that others suffering will reach out and get the help they need.

For all her adult life, Trudeau has suffered from the debilitating effects of her bipolar condition. Now, after seeking medical treatment that has given her life balance and happiness, she advocates strongly on mental health issues, helping people overcome the stigma of mental illness that often prevents sufferers from getting help.

New name, big plans for Women’s History Museum in 2011

Courtesy/WOMEN’S MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA

Women’s History Museum and Educational Center members fly their banner at the Suffrage Parade at Balboa Park. change and a new logo, the museum has made a letter of intent to move to NTC Promenade at the former Naval Training Center in Point Loma.

The museum cited increased activity, interest and donations as the reason for the possible move in a news release.

“There are art galleries, museums, shops ... good parking and lovely restaurants,” Gardner said in the interview. “It’s becoming more of a destination.”

She said the museum’s moving date is undecided at this time, due to financial factors and the need to sign a lease. But Gardner added that it’s possible the relocation could occur by the end of 2011.

The museum has been in the Art Union Building at 2323 Broadway, Suite 107, in San Diego since 1996.

Founded in 1983 by Mary B. Maschal as the Women’s History Reclamation

Project, it has undergone a couple of name and location changes over the years.

It has a variety of changing exhibits and displays on women’s history, provides speakers for the community, sponsors a monthly membership lecture series, and maintains a library and research archive.

Several major events have been planned for 2011.

During February, which is Black History Month, the museum will hold an exhibition titled “Celebrating Giants: The Truth of Sojourner,” that focuses on the life and work of Sojourner Truth and the African-American Women’s Suffrage Movement. Truth was perhaps best known for a speech given at the Ohio Woman’s Rights Convention in Akron in 1854 in which she used the phrase, “Ain’t I a woman?”

By Kelley Carlson Contributor A local women’s museum has started the new year with the announcement of some significant changes, including a different name and a possible relocation.

The Women’s History Museum and Educational Center, located in the Golden Hill area of San Diego, will now be known as The Women’s Museum of California.

"As one of only five women's history museums in the country, we felt it was fitting to claim the right to be the Women's Museum of California,” said director Ashley Gardner in a news release. “Our tag line ‘preserving the past, inspiring the future’ encompasses our long-term mission to educate current and future generations about the experiences and contributions of women."

Gardner said in an interview that the museum has mainly had a local focus, with the Hall of Fame “very local.”

“The name change gives us an opportunity to give more widespread recognition,” she said.

For example, Gardner said, women’s suffrage was a national movement, with California women receiving the right to vote in 1911.

Nationwide, women were enfranchised with the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment, which eliminated voter discrimination by gender. The museum is planning a centennial exhibit this year to recognize the landmark decision by the Golden State.

Yet despite a broader focus, the museum will always maintain a local theme, Gardner said.

Along with the name

from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 4.

In March, which is Women’s History Month, the museum will sponsor the 10th annual San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

This year’s inductees are Margaret “Midge” Costanza, the first woman to be appointed as assistant to the president of the U.S. (Jimmy Carter); Judy Forman, owner and operator of Big Kitchen Café; Rita Sanchez, professor emeritus at San Diego Mesa College; Clara Harris, who speaks out against discrimination in educational institutions; and La Jolla resident Martha W. Longenecker, founder of the San Diego Mingei International Museum.

There will also be plenty to do this summer. The museum’s wine, cheese and chocolate festival is slated for June. And in August, there will be a suffrage parade and suffrage ball, in which participants dress in period costumes.

“It’s an immersive experience,” Gardner said.

For more information about the museum and upcoming events, go to www.whmec.org

IF YOU GO The Women's Museum of California is open from noon to 4 p.m.

Tuesday-Saturday at 2323 Broadway, Suite 107, in San Diego.

DM resident helps low-income women through ‘Women Give San Diego’

By Arthur Lightbourn After 30 years as a community volunteer and civic activist in San Diego, Linda Katz has come to a conclusion with a unique twist.

“With so many challenges facing the world,” the 57-year-old Del Mar resident says, “rather than focusing on what’s wrong and how can we fix it, I prefer to look at what’s right and how can we make more of it.”

Her most recent philanthropic endeavor is as cofounder of Women Give San Diego (WGSD) that provides grants to nonprofits in San Diego that are helping lowincome women and girls achieve economic security and self-sufficiency.

WGSD is a newly formed donor circle of the Women’s Foundation of California, which for 30 years has been supporting and training women leaders and providing opportunities for hands-on community activism. It currently has nine donor circles throughout the state.

Local donor circles connected to larger philanthropic organizations, such as the Women’s Foundation of California, are catching on across the country, Katz says.

They have become a trend and model for effective, targeted

philanthropy.

“While we need to think globally,” Katz added, “we need to act locally.”

Katz co-founded WGSD a year ago with La Jolla residents Gayle Tauber and founding president Jan Tuttleman.

They are convinced that when women and girls become thriving members of a community, their communities also thrive and do better.

With a growing membership of 78 women, the San Diego donor circle announced recently it is providing $46,000 in its first grant cycle to three local nonprofits committed to increasing the level of self-sufficiency and security among San Diego women and girls.

The grantees will receive the funding over a period of two years.

The organizations selected for funding are: Just in Time for Foster Youth and its program supporting young women in their transition from foster care to independent adulthood; Dress for Success, which assists lowincome women find and retain jobs and build careers; and Supportive Parents Information Network (SPIN) promoting self-sufficiency through loan funding, banking opportunities and advoca-

cy efforts.

In keeping with the organization’s determination to include women of every generation in their membership, 40 percent of WGSD members are under the age of 40.

Members in their 20s are asked for a minimum gift of $250 a year; members in their 30s, $500 a year; and founding members $1,000 to $25,000 a year.

As a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, WGSD membership fees and donations are tax deductible.

Non-member donations are also welcome.

WGSD members, in addition to contributing money through their membership gifts, are also being encouraged to bring in their talents to the organization and to serve as volunteers and mentors with the nonprofit grantees selected for support.

Katz was born Linda Narramore in Phoenix, Arizona, where she grew up with two older brothers who “took really good care of me,” she said. Her father was a career-long executive with AT&T. “My mom and my dad were always active in the community and I volunteered as a little girl with my mom. We were candy-stripers in a senior center and in hospitals. We

were raised with the idea of how lucky we are and how fortunate with what has been given to us and how wonderful to have the ability to give back and share with others.”

At Arizona State University, she majored in textiles and clothing in business; and after college went into retail. She became a buyer for a department store where she met her husband, Mel Katz, who was also a buyer.

“We moved to San Diego from Scottsdale. My husband and his best friend bought a franchise here, Manpower, a temp help personnel agency.

My husband’s business partner’s wife is my best friend. So the four of us rented a car and moved here 33 years ago.”

She worked for a time as a buyer for Bullock’s Department Store.

“When we had children, it wasn’t a particularly familyfriendly field to stay in, having to work nights, holidays and weekends; so when we started a family, I chose community work as my career.”

She and her husband have three grown children.

“They are all four years apart, (31, 27, and 23) and I tease that’s what 10 years on the Planned Parenthood board did for me: three children and nobody in college at the same time. Perfect family planning.”

Katz is also the founding president of The San Diego Women’s Foundation, and past board chair of Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties, LEAD San Diego, Senior Community Centers, and Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.

Asked what specifically prompted her to co-found Women Give San Diego, she said, after turning 50 and seeing the passing of a number of her good friends, she realized how special every single day is and how every day has to matter.

She also decided that she would only be involved with

organizations and activities that fuel her “positive energy and bring out the best in me.”

“So, with limited resources and limited time, I have found that if I concentrate and dedicate myself to bettering the lives of women and girls, the world will be a little bit better, a little bit quicker.”

Katz believes there are all sorts of reasons why women should be involved in philanthropy. “We live seven years longer than men. Women make most of the philanthropic decisions in families.

I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but I think women give 5.3 percent of pre-tax dollars to charities; men give 1.3 percent.

“And yet women don’t necessarily have the confi-

dence and the knowledge to be the philanthropic decisionmakers that we are going to be called upon to become.”

WGSD helps develop that confidence and knowledge in philanthropy, Katz said.

Before she and her companions formed WGSD, they commissioned a study that concluded there is a clear and compelling need in San Diego to focus on economic security and sustainability for women and girls and that those most in need are immigrants, military families, and the elderly.

Going gluten-free? Here’s the scoop on why you might want to

O

v e r t h e years we’ve fallen Catharine L. in and out Kaufman of love with assorted popular diets. Now prominent on the diet radar screen is the Gluten-Free Diet accompanied by a swelling of gluten-free products online, on supermarket shelves, and on restaurant menus.

What is a gluten-free diet and why do some people have to give gluten the shaft to stay healthy?

Before the Neolithic Period humans chowed down on a diet of meat, wild game, seeds, nuts, berries and veggies.

quently, the intestines did not have time to adapt to digesting this new food group. As a result, some people have difficulty breaking down wheat into individual amino acids, reeking havoc on weaker intestines.

Gluten is the protein found in certain grains and their hybrids including wheat, rye and barley. Like its namesake, gluten is the “glue-like” substance that gives bread and pasta their wonderful chewy texture, and also provides a load of nutritional value.

But for those suffering from Celiac Disease (tallied at 1 in 133 or 3 million in this country) gluten is the enemy. In addition, a new slogan has been coined, “non-Celiac gluten sensitivity” for those who do not test positive for Celiac Disease, but experience intolerance or symptoms like diarrhea or bloating after eating gluten, said Maryrose Hopke, co-coordinator of the Celiac Disease Foundation in southern California (Studio City).

Gluten-free salad. (Courtesy) There is no real health risk for these people, unlike the Celiacs who suffer an autoimmune reaction from eating gluten. The small intestine is under attack, which compromises the villi, and prevents proper absorption of minerals and other nutrients that can lead to serious health issues including malnutrition, anemia, skin rashes and osteoporosis.

According Hopke, “a gluten-free diet has a fad component to it when celebrities cut out gluten to make them feel better and lose weight, but many folks need to faithfully and strictly follow a gluten-free diet to stay well.” By eliminating gluten, the villi can regenerate itself so it can do its job of nutrient absorp-

tion.

The key to following a gluten-free diet is to “read labels carefully,” said Hopeke. Wheat and gluten are disguised under other vernacular like durum, semolina, spelt and triticale (a wheat hybrid). Gluten also hides in sauces like soy and Worcestershire, baked goods, processed meats and other foods and drinks, including beer.

And while corn and rice contain a gluten derivative, it is not toxic to Celiacs who can also safely eat potatoes, buckwheat, quinoa and soy. Oats, in and of themselves are gluten-free, but might be grown or harvested with other grains containing gluten, causing cross-contamination. So standing advice: Read labels and choose the brands that specifically state “glutenfree” on the packages.

Many mainstream food companies have hopped on the gluten-free bandwagon, including General Mills with assorted cereals and Betty Crocker with a smor-

gasbord of baking mixes. I recently scoped out glutenfree pastas from DeBoles made with rice and corn flours, as well as potato, soy and other ancient glutenfree grains, and a delightful and decadent dairy-free, soy-free and gluten-free chocolate beverage made with hemp protein and other all-natural and organic ingredients by Mayesa, a new, locally-based company.

Dining out is also becoming more accommodating for those on a gluten-free diet, whether Celiacs or those with gluten sensitivities or intolerances.

Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza (with locations in Carmel Valley and La Jolla) has an expanded menu that incorporates more than three dozen gluten-free items from soups, salads and tapas to wraps, signature wood-fired pizzas and even a gluten-free beer.

Sammy’s Executive Chef Jeff Moogk shared his recipe for a gluten-free chilled roast vegetable salad.

Sammy’s Gluten-Free Chilled Roast Vegetable Salad (Serves 4 to 6) Ingredients: 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella pearls (no liquid) 6 ounces of shelled, blanched edamame 6 ounces of sliced, roasted or canned artichoke hearts or bottoms 2 ounces of sliced red onion 4 ounces of roasted, seeded yellow tomato wedges 4 ounces of roasted, peeled red bell pepper strips 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 2 ounces of olive oil 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of black pepper Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss well, and serve on a platter lined with fresh spinach leaves.

Local playwright chooses SD for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Tragedy of the Commonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; premiere

By Diana Saenger REVIEW Stage, screen and TV writer Stephen Metcalfe brings both humor and harsh reality to the Cygnet Theatre stage with the world premiere of his play â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tragedy Of The Commons.â&#x20AC;?

The fine cast, directed by Cygnetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director Sean Murray, presents a tale with a San Diego â&#x20AC;&#x153;hook,â&#x20AC;? that is fresh and absorbing.

A homey Adams clan livingroom scene launches the journey into this complex family. Dakin (Jim Winker) and Macy (Veronica Murphy) are empty nesters but the Golden Years have not yet arrived.

Dakin, seriously missing his days as a

teacher, spends his time on the computer sending out random blogs he calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Notes from Zone 10.â&#x20AC;?

Although the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sons Spencer (Francis Gercke) and Alan (Manny Fernandes) admonish Dakin with claims that no one cares about his thoughts on the genetic makeup of a spider or world situations, he continues to write and hit the send button.

Meanwhile, mother Macy is getting plenty of exercise because every time she tries to reason Dakin back into the real world, they end up in a stalemate and she takes the dogs for a walk.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only when their neighbor Carl (Tim West) announces he and his wife are selling their home that

Dakin comes energetically alive.

Dakin suddenly understands that his treasured view of the beach directly above Carlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house could disappear if a new owner decides to build up.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what happens when new neighbor Diane (Monique Gaffney) shows up with a cheap bottle of wine for Dakin. Even the unchilled wine is no match for the coldhearted stern investor who tells Dakin she is indeed going to rebuild and block his view. But the prickly predicament reveals that Dakin and Macy have far bigger issues between them.

Metcalfe, who brought humor to his adaptation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty Woman,â&#x20AC;? nailed difficult family relationships

they are with their body at these times and how comfortable their partner is with being intimate under these circumstances.

Myth #4. You shouldn't have to ask for what you need because you both already know each other so well.

This comes under the heading of â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Mind Reading.â&#x20AC;? Asking for what you want and need is a crucial piece of a healthy sexual relationship, as well as being part of the healthy communication that every successful relationship requires. And remember: what your partner needs changes over time, so don't assume he or she always wants or needs the same thing.

Myth #5. Men are always in the mood.

Both men and women experience fluctuations in their libido throughout the day and weeks. Both men and women's readiness for sex is influenced not only by hormones but diet, sleep, stress, health, self-confidence and how they are feeling in the relationship at the time.

And FYI: when couples we work with tell us they are not having much sex, what becomes obvious to us more often than not is that these two people are very angry at each other. So if there isn't a whole lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;actionâ&#x20AC;? in your bedroom with your spouse, ask yourself whether or not you're riled up or resentful, and if so, let them know!

Myth #6. Women always want sex to be about â&#x20AC;&#x153;making loveâ&#x20AC;? and connecting emotionally rather than just being about â&#x20AC;&#x153;having sex.â&#x20AC;?

Although the emotional connection is more important to women overall, sometimes women just want to get physical and have fun too! And Ladies: it is important to let your man know if

and when you are â&#x20AC;&#x153;feeling itâ&#x20AC;? this way so that he can understand that there are times that you enjoy sex for the purely physical pleasure it can be!

Myth #7. All men are into pornography.

While it may be true that most men are visually stimulated (while most women are emotionally stimulated) not all men need or want pornography to stimulate or satisfy their sexual appetite. As a visual medium, porn parades many youthful and attractive partners, and portrays physical gratification without commitment or encumbering relationships. No doubt that this fuels a fantasy that some men find very enjoyable and arousing. But the objectification of women that porn has come to represent and even depend on to a certain degree also turns many men off.

Myth #8. As people get older they are not as interested in sex.

Again, we are talking about the idea that relationship connection is important at any ageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as is intimacy and romance. What might get in the way of interest in sex in later years might be more related to hormonal deficiencies, depression, anxiety, medication side effects, or lack of connection in the relationship. Age itself isn't necessarily the determining factor in interest in sex.

HOSPITAL continued from page B1 Techmaster Electronics. “But we need help.”

The hospital project was launched several years ago when a missionary from Uganda visited with members of the San Rafael Catholic parish in Rancho Bernardo, said Lynch. A group was formed to begin raising money to build the hospital.

The volunteer board found support from the University of San Diego, and has since established chapters in Oakland and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

NORTH COAST The group calls itself a nonprofit, non-sectarian, faith-based organization. The hospital began seeing patients in 2009, although an official grand opening was held last year.

Since the hospital opened, said Lynch, some 20,000 children have been treated there, many for complications from malaria, and also many for symptoms related to HIV infection.

As the only children’s hospital not only in Uganda, but also in its region of Eastern Africa, the hospital attracts patients from throughout the country and even from neighboring nations such as the

Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, said Lynch.

Among the problems of running a hospital in Uganda, said Lynch and Levy, is obtaining the necessary equipment and supplies. Levy said he observed a surgical procedure at a different hospital near Mbarara in which no anesthetic was available, so the doctors and nurses had to sedate the child and hold him down during the operation.

Although the president of Uganda attended the hospital’s grand opening ceremony last July, so far the government has not provided financial support to help pay for operat-

hospital grounds to generate money for the hospital, said Lynch.

According to the CIA World Factbook, Uganda has a population of 33.3 million. Its infant mortality rate is 63.7 out of 1,000 live births, or 28th highest in the world. Life expectancy at birth is just under 53 years, or 206th of the 224 nations tracked.

A 2007 estimate found that 5.4 percent of Uganda’s adult population was infected with the HIV virus, 14th highest in the world.

Lynch urged those interested in helping the Holy Innocents Children’s Hospital to visit the organization’s web-

ing costs, Lynch said. For now, the hospital is subsisting on donations from the nonprofit group’s chapters in San Diego, Oakland and Belfast, and some funds from the Catholic Church in Uganda, along with fees from patients who can afford to pay.

Eventually, Levy and Lynch said, the group wants to build a surgical suite and to establish an endowment that would provide stable funding for the hospital. The surgical suite would also generate revenue for the hospital.

The volunteer group is studying whether a business, such as a restaurant or cafeteria, could be established on the

site at www.holyinnocentsuganda.com, where they can view a video about the facility and learn more about the program. People can also contact Lynch at mlynch@techmastertest.com and Levy at mlevy@rchsd.org, to request a group presentation.

“The more attention we get…. eventually, Americans are so generous, we will find what we need to get past this point,” said Lynch.

“It’s such a simple way to help and save very large numbers of sick children,” said Levy.

Isari Flowers Studio opens on North Cedros in Solana Beach

By Marlena ChaviraMedford Staff Writer Isari Flower Studio opened this week on N. Cedros Avenue, just north of Cliff Street. The 2,000square foot space is the latest venture of Tam Ashworth, who had been running her studio out of the Four Seasons in Carlsbad since 1997â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but when it closed this fall, she was in need of a new space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just so happened that this studio on Cedros was open, and once I saw the space I loved it,â&#x20AC;? she said of the studio, which is also dotted with unique home dĂŠcor, arts and books for sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was operating out of a basement, so this is a nice change.â&#x20AC;?

Like some of the other spaces along that strip of Cedros, this loft-like studio has a roll-up door that allows it to open to the street, a feature that comes in handy with so many plants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so open, I can stage it for events,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This studio has a lot of possibilities. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new chapter for me, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy to

Ashworth has been in the industry for 14 years, although sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had a natural interest in flowers.

Growing up in Thailand, she learned about all sorts of flowers. At 10, she went to boarding school in England, where she saw daffodils for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I already knew all about daffodils, and I assure you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not because we had them in Thailand,â&#x20AC;? she said.

After English boarding school, Ashworth studied interior decorating in France, modeled in Thailand, and worked in LAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floral and fashion industry for years. Wearing

Del Sol Lions go Mardi Gras for May 14 benefit Del Sol Lions will host its first annual fundraiser, Del Sol Lions Go Mardi Gras, at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club on May 14, to benefit Reality Changers and St. Leo's Medical and Dental Clinics.

Reality Changers provides youth from disadvantaged backgrounds the resources to become first generation college students by providing academic support, financial assistance, and faith-based leadership training. Being the leading tutoring program in California, Arnie Duncan, secretary of education, said: "It is a model. Not for the city, not for the state, but for the country."

St. Leo's Medical and Dental Program, through an all-volunteer interfaith personnel of doctors, dentists, health professionals, and local hospitals, provides comprehensive services to persons without insurance, and except for

emergencies, not otherwise able to obtain such services. Together, the Clinics see over 5,000 patients annually. The event includes dinner, casino tables, a silent and live auction, and entertainment. Del Sol Lions, chartered in February 2010, is part of Lions International, the world's largest service club with more than 1.35 million members worldwide, serving those less fortunate locally, regionally, and internationally.

The Del Sol Lions includes the communities of Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and Carmel Valley. For information on joining, call Mary Jane Boyd at 858481-7547.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Director of Planning and Community Development is scheduled to hold an Administrative Hearing at the time and location shown below to review and consider a request for a determination for a vacant lot located at 2123/2160 Balboa Avenue (APN 299-072-10) and formerly known as the Balboa Reservoir Lot. This consideration will address if the conďŹ guration and preliminary development plan will provide a Public BeneďŹ t with respect to the calculation of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gross vs. Net Lot Area, as such public beneďŹ t is deďŹ ned and regulated in Del Mar Municipal Code Section 30.04.120.

Date and Location of Administrative Hearing; Tuesday, February 15, 2011, 10:00 a.m.

Del Mar City Hall Annex, 235 11th Street, Del Mar CA 92014 Description of Submitted Request for Determination of the Existence of a Public BeneďŹ t The applicant, (PDMI L.L.C.) recently purchased the property referenced above and is in the preliminary stage of preparing plans for development of a single-family residence on the site. A critical part of that site planning involves a determination of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Net Lot Area, the ďŹ gure upon which the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowable Floor Area Ratio is calculated. The property in question is encumbered by a vehicular access easement (6,185 square feet in area) that serves more than ďŹ ve other properties in the area. Pursuant to Section 30.04.120 of the Municipal Code, the area of the access easement is to be deducted from the calculation of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Net Lot Area unless a determination is made that the conďŹ guration of the access easement and/or of the development proposal provides a public beneďŹ t when compared to other possible conďŹ gurations. The property owner has made a written request for a determination that there is a Public BeneďŹ t associated with the particular conďŹ guration of the access easement and with the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to install on-site improvements for emergency service access to Balboa Avenue. The applicant is requesting that these factors be determined to represent a Public BeneďŹ t and that the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Net Lot Area and associated Floor Area Ratio should, therefore, be calculated based on the size of the property, inclusive of the access easement area. If the request is granted, the Net Lot area of the property would be designated as 22,043 square feet (rather than 15,858 square feet) and the corresponding [maximum] Floor Area Ratio ďŹ gure would be 5,511 square feet rather than 3,965 square feet.

The Issuing Authority for the request of Determination of the Existence of a Public BeneďŹ t is the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Planning and Community Development.

Procedure for review of the Requested Determination: 1. The Planning Director will conduct the Public Hearing and take written and verbal testimony. Verbal testimony shall be afforded as follows: 10 minutes (total) for the applicant and his/her representatives; three minutes for interested parties; and ďŹ ve minutes for rebuttal by the applicant and his/her representative.

2. The Planning Director will issue a written determination on the request within ďŹ ve working days of the hearing.

3. If the Planning Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination is to grant the request, conditions may be attached.

4. The Planning Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determination is appealable to the City Council within a ten-day appeal period to commence on the date of issuance of the written determination.

Important note: the Public BeneďŹ t Determination for which notice is provided herein is separate and distinct from any other required City authorizations that may be required for the development on the property, including, but not limited to, any required Design Review Permit. Any other required permits shall be subject to the separate public noticing requirements contained in the Del Mar Municipal Code.

Review of Request from Applicant/Submittal of Comments If you are interested in reviewing the submitted application material and/or obtaining further information related to the hearing process, including how to present your comment, objection, or support for the proposed project to the Planning and Community Development Director, please contact the Planning Department, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, California 92014.

News Briefs Sampson California Realty donates $2,000 to Rady Children’s Hospital in celebration of life of Noah Severns Joseph Sampson and Diane Sampson of Sampson California Realty have made a $2,000 grant to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego. The grant was made in the name of Noah Severns who recently passed away after a long battle with cancer, a real hero to all in the community. Noah Severns was a Del Mar Hills student and his family lives in Carmel Valley. Joseph and Diane felt a donation in the name of such a brave young man was the appropriate thing to do. According to Joseph and Diane, “We normally reserve our annual donations to the J&D Education Foundation that benefits local community organizations, but felt in this special case Noah was such a brave young man that a donation to Rady Children’s Hospital in the

“Celebration of Noah’s Life” was the right thing to do.”

Increase in consumer confidence points to stronger real estate market in 2011 The gradual recovery of the real estate market has only been held in check by consumer confidence, a category that has recently made substantial gains, according to Prudential California Realty’s February 2011 real estate report. The report, which includes an analysis of data created by the Wells Fargo Economics Group, showed that consumer confidence jumped 7.3 points in January to a total of 60.6.

All of the key components increased solidly during the month, making this the best report for consumer confidence since the onset of the financial crisis. In Southern California, investors have returned, indicating an increase in confidence among people that understand the dynamics of real estate.

With inventory levels in the below $1 million range at a level that should keep prices stable throughout the year, 2011 could represent a prime opportunity for buyers to begin searching for a home with an experienced Realtor. For sellers, this year presents a time when the advice of a qualified real estate professional is more critical than ever before to set realistic prices and receive a favorable outcome on the sale of a home.

Data compiled by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) were also positive for both buyers and sellers of real estate, indicating that it only currently

requires 13.6 percent of median family income to buy a home. The unprecedented affordability found in today’s real estate market has made first time and traditional price range buyers quickly return to the market in 2011—a trend that is further evidenced by the fact that there is less than four months of inventory available in many price ranges below $1 million.

“One of the only major risks for buyers today could be increasing mortgage rates,” said Mark Johnson, vice president of marketing for Prudential. “It’s unlikely that mortgage rates will remain at the historic lows we have experienced over the past few years.”

Prudential’s monthly report features in-depth analyses and editorials about housing market data compiled by the California Association of Realtors, DataQuick and the multiple listing service. The report, which was developed to ensure consumers have the resources and information they need to make informed decisions, can be obtained by contacting a local Prudential agent. www.prudentialcal.com — Prudential California Realty delivers proven results and offers personal representation across Southern California and the Central Coast. A Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, Prudential California Realty is one of the top five brokerages in the nation.
