High school district closer to repairs, upgrades San Dieguito board OKs two bond issues ■ It’s not too early to make vacation plans for your kids. See special section. Pages B14-B15
BY MARSHA SUTTON Bond issues pertaining to improvements at Torrey Pines High School and at schools district-wide were passed by the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education on March 1.
With the school board’s approval to issue $2 million in lease revenue bonds for Torrey Pines, three projects will move forward. Two projects will replace heating, ventilation and air conditioning units and provide roof repair at one building for $450,000 and at another for $302,000. The third project is the replacement of the synthetic field at TPHS

for a cost of $1.25 million. The bonds would have an eightyear term with interest-only payments in the first three years, after which level interest and principal payments would be made. Unlike General Obligation bonds which are backed up by special taxes on property owners, “the ultimate backstop for lease revenue bonds is the district’s general fund,” according to
the agenda report. The total principal amount of the bonds would be $2.5 million, with about $2 million available for the projects. After including various funding sources, the estimated cost to the district to issue the bonds is about $200,000. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate

College Board’s AP classes in demand College prep is big business
BY MARSHA SUTTON Advanced Placement classes originated decades ago as a way for gifted high school students to take college-level courses in fields for which they had passion and talent. Today, AP classes are open to all students and have gained in popularity, particularly in highachieving districts where students compete for coveted spots in selective colleges that give weight to the number of AP classes taken. A standardized curriculum for AP classes is provided by College Board, a not-for-profit organization that holds exclusive rights to Advanced Placement coursework and the AP examinations, which are tests administered every year in May to assess each AP student’s comprehension of the material. This year, College Board offers 34 AP exams, from Art History to
BY MARSHA SUTTON The College Board, founded in 1900, has become synonymous with college readiness programs for high school students. Composed of more than 5,400 schools, colleges, universities and other educational organizations, each year College Board, according to its mission statement, serves 7 million students and parents, 23,000 high schools and 3,500 colleges. Programs including the PSAT, SAT, SAT II subject tests and Advanced Placement have become fully infused into high school academic culture and are considered predictors of college success.

Del Mar school board to use ‘option areas’ for enrollment issues ■ Rusty helped shape local surf culture with Del Mar shop. Page B1
BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District Board of Trustees approved the new “option areas” for the 201213 school year and beyond at its Feb. 29 meeting in a 4-1 vote. The board saw option areas as a way to deal
with the ever-growing enrollment without changing the school boundaries. Families that live within the option areas have the choice between two schools designated for their area. Option areas include: Ocean Air-Sage Canyon; Sage Can-
yon-Ashley Falls; Ocean AirTorrey Hills; Del Mar HillsCarmel Del Mar; and Sycamore Ridge-Ashley Falls. Within the option areas, once a student picks a school they will have resident status at that school. The district will make every
effort to attempt to place the student in the school of their choice and keep families together. If there is no room at either school, a family may select any other school where there is space available. The option areas are all
about choice, said district superintendent Jim Peabody. “We’re not mandating that a child go anywhere,” Peabody said, noting that if it gets to the point where there are too many students

Parking in Del Mar Village isn’t as nonexistent as it may seem — it’s just very inefficient. Del Mar officials have been looking long and hard into the complex issue of parking in the Village and that’s what extensive assessments indicate, Del Mar Planning and Community Development Director Kathy Garcia said March 5 at a workshop to discuss how to address parking issues as the city moves into major Village revitalization. “If we were to define our problem, our parking is a problem because it’s not efficient,” said Garcia, who has been holding a series of revitalization workshops during regular Del Mar City Council meetings. “It’s not that we don’t have the parking, but a lot of that parking is not usable, especially when it’s needed.” There are 323 public parking stalls in the Village available for public use, including Camino Del Mar on-street stalls, the City Hall
lot, metered parking and side streets. There are about 873 spaces within commercial areas. According to a parking inventory study conducted in 2000, parking demand is inconsistent across the Village, possibly adding to the inefficiency. On a weekday in the Village, stalls north of 12th were at 79 percent occupancy or above, while stalls south of 12th Street hovered around half full. A busy Saturday saw stalls north of 12th Street at 87 percent full, and stalls south of 12th Street at 64 percent full. Private parking averaged from 50 to 65 percent, except for in the Del Mar Plaza garage, which averaged 85 percent occupancy and was full on many days. Parking from 15th to 13th Streets on Camino Del Mar is also usually full at peak periods, according to the study, “Our target occupancy is 90 percent,” said Garcia. “Ninety percent means there’s usually a parking space on every block, but
we don’t have acres of asphalt that is vacant and acting as a heat island.” The city is looking into a number of options, including incentives for businesses to build parking and utilizing shared-use and “park once” models. Council members were not unified in their support for any particular solution, however, they agreed that more community input and assessment is needed. “This is a complex issue,” said Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott. “I’m worried we may be doing too much at one time.” He added that it’s important to keep the process simple and keep it in phases, especially because this is the crucial time when officials can reassure residents they are doing everything possible to mitigate and prevent negative impacts on residential areas. The current approach to parking involves small private lots that city officials say are inefficiently See PARKING, page 21

Some Sycamore parents say campus too crowded DM school board delays to house preschool and child development center purchase decision on Ocean Air approval of option areas was related to the preschool location. “I don’t think a decision on option areas is a decision on the other,” said trustee Doug Rafner. “They’re mutually exclusive.” The issues were raised during public comment and were not on the agenda so the board did not conduct a full discussion of the preschool plan. The plan will be heard at the March or April school board meeting. The infant and toddler program is only open to parents who are employees of the district, while the preschool and pre-kindergarten programs are open to the public as space is available. The child development center has been

Del Mar school district parents ask for early kindergarten admittance BY KAREN BILLING Some parents came before the Del Mar Union School District Board Feb. 29 to ask for flexibility in kindergarten admittance. In 2010, a law passed that required children to be 5 years old when they start kindergarten over a phased, three-year timeline that starts this fall. Up until this year, the date children must be 5 years old to start kindergarten was Dec. 2. Starting in the fall, children must be 5 years old on or before Nov. 1 for the 201213 school year. In the 2013-14 school year that date moves up to Oct. 1 and in the 2014-15 school year, it is pushed to Sept. 1.
The California Department of Education has no authority to require districts to admit under-age children. Districts may admit children whose birthdays occur after the cut-off date, but they must wait until their fifth birthday occurs to attend school. The education code allows children to be admitted early on a case by case basis, but districts are advised to base early admissions on test results, maturity or preschool records. “The school board can make adjustments,” urged parent Uday Patel. “Kids who are prepared to go to kindergarten should be able to go to kindergarten.”
BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District Board of Trustees held off on purchasing two modular classrooms for overcrowded Ocean Air School at the board’s Feb. 29 meeting due to questions about the cost. The two classrooms will cost a combined total of $281,845, but trustee Doug Rafner said he recently spoke to a company that could lease the district the portables for a total of $3,000 a year. “It makes sense to look and see if we’re talking about apples to apples,” said Rafner of the rentals, which could save the district a lot of cost, especially if they’re only going to be temporary to deal with overpopulation.
While the board agreed to wait to review the leasing option, district superintendent Jim Peabody said in his 41-plus years of education, such classrooms are never really temporary. “There is nothing more permanent in education than a re-locatable classroom,” Peabody said. Randy Wheaton, Del Mar school district director of maintenance and operations, said the district can’t afford to go much past mid-March to purchase the modulars and go through the Division of State Architects (DSA) to get them in by June, so the board agreed to defer the item to its site visitation meeting in the coming weeks.

Del Mar supports cease-and-desist for fairgrounds, asks for quarterly updates The Del Mar City Council on March 5 approved a letter to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) supporting its recent 28-page cease-and-desist and restoration orders handed down the Del Mar Fairgrounds board. The deal, considered by the commission at its March 8 meeting in Chula Vista, would require the fair to make $5 million in improvements. (The meeting takes place after presstime for this newspaper.) In addition to support of the orders, Del Mar officials requested that the commission provide quarterly reports on the status of various implementation measures. They also revised the letter to ask the commission to hold fair-related discussions at a Southern California venue, so locals do not have to use air travel to attend. In the two orders, there are a number of time frames specified by which the fairgrounds board is required to submit various reports, but there was not a requirement to release those updates in the form of a report to the public, city staff said. This proposed revision would seek to modify that. — Claire Harlin

BY KAREN BILLING Sycamore Ridge School parents voiced concerns about the Del Mar Union School District’s preschool and child development center continuing to be located on their campus at the Feb. 29 school board meeting. Several parents expressed worry about their school becoming more crowded and the impact of having one-third of their campus devoted to the district preschool. Some felt that a vote in favor of the option areas (see story page 1), as the board voted later that night, was a vote for keeping the preschool at Sycamore Ridge. The parents said they feel the school would not have an overflow issue without the preschool. Board members did not agree that the

Drunk driving suspect hits nine cars BY NICOLE GONZALES, NBC SAN DIEGO A suspected intoxicated driver crashed into nine cars the evening of Feb. 29 in Del Mar before law enforcement apprehended him, according to police. San Diego Police say the first collision happened at Del Mar Heights and Mango. “It was like bumper cars and it was so sudden and you’re watching it and it’s surreal,” Portia Bibb said. “Just disbelief and how this person is just causing havoc.” Portia Bibb was driving a blue Toyota Prius in Del Mar when she was rear ended and side swiped by a suspected intoxicated driver. Just up the road, the suspect hit another car at a light. “We were rear ended once then rear ended again and then he drove away,” Lauren Gariepy said. “You’re sitting there talking and then bam,” Megan McLaughlin said. “Why try to shove people out of
the way? How crazy are you? How high are you?” The driver allegedly hit seven cars before a San Diego County Sheriff’s deputy, who happened to be in the area, pulled him over. He stopped, but investigators say he took off again, going south on Interstate-5. Deputies followed the suspect until he crashed into two more vehicles at the Carmel Valley onramp. The deputy approached the driver and called for backup. “He told the deputy he was going to kill him. Immediately the deputy took action and pulled him out of the car,” San Diego Police Sgt. Art Doherty said. Police say, fortunately, the suspect only made a mess on the roads. No one was seriously hurt. The driver will be held on charges of felony evading, DUI and resisting arrest.

AP continued from page 1 World History. Languages include French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Latin. Science and math coursework includes physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, calculus and statistics. Exams also test achievement in European history, world history, United States history, government, economics, psychology and other social sciences. Although not required, the AP exams are considered mandatory by many students, and also by teachers, most of whom expect their students to take the test. Many teachers and district staff review the AP pass rate each year to gauge student achievement. College Board’s price of each exam is $87, unless a low-income student qualifies for a fee reduction. Eight dollars of the $87 fee is given back to districts, to cover overhead. Deborah Davis, College Board’s director of college
readiness communications, said in an email that the exam fees, which some criticize as too high, enable College Board to manage the AP program’s ongoing development and operations. “In 2011, AP exam fees covered the operational costs related to administering more than 3.4 million AP exams at more than 18,000 high schools around the world,” Davis said. “Because at least 50 percent of each AP exam consists of essay and short answer questions that cannot be scored automatically, exam fees also cover the significant costs associated with scoring these portions of the exams.” This includes a daily stipend and travel, lodging and meal expenses for readers of the exams. If students are not required by schools to take AP exams to get full credit for the course, and if the exams are strictly voluntary, then no law prohibits districts from charging more.

previously cost more but this year will run $87, said LJHS principal Dana Shelburne, who is following district recommendations not to charge students beyond the fee set by College Board. The Poway Unified School District, according to spokesperson Sharon Raffer, is charging $92 per exam at all its high schools. For AP students in the San Dieguito Union High School District, the cost this year has risen to $103 per exam. The extra $16 per exam – plus the $8 returned by College Board – pays for proctors, special equipment, room rental fees and other expenses, said SDUHSD associate superintendent of educational services Rick Schmitt. He said there is no profit for SDUHSD and that the excess money is used to help defray costs. Elloise Bennett, a consultant and former assistant principal at Canyon Crest Academy and Torrey Pines High School, estimated that the district pays about $23 per exam to cover outside costs, plus $3 per credit card transaction. She said the $8 returned to districts by College Board for administrative overhead “is unrealistic.” Hired by San Dieguito to handle all details and logistics involved in AP testing, Bennett now runs her own consulting service [http://aptestservice.com/] and is an AP Coordinator assisting numerous schools and school districts in southern California, Texas, Oregon and Washington. “The cost of hiring a contractor to process registration and plan the logistical details outweighs the significant staff time that test coordination requires, at a time when we’ve re-
duced staff down to core needs,” Schmitt said in his email. Bennett is paid $.75 per exam, and last year San Dieguito administered 6,715 exams to 2,939 students, averaging about 2.3 exams per student.
BUSINESS
In fiscal year 2009 (July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009), revenue was reported as $623 million with expenses of $569.7 million. Part of these expenses included $766,354 for lobbying efforts, including contact with legislators, their staff, government officials or a legislative body, according to College Board’s Form 990 filed with the Internal Revenue Service. That year, College Board reported compensation for 22 of its top employees of about $8.1 million. The highest paid employees were president and chief executive officer Gaston Caperton, who earned $872,061, and chief operating officer Herbert Elish,
continued from page 1 value of these tests and programs, and most consider them an integral part of the college application process. Yet College Board is not without critics. Americans for Educational Testing Reform, for one, cites excessive pricing for services, high-paid executives, and a non-profit status that exempts College Board from taxation. College Board, based in New York, is classified as a 501c3 (EIN 13-1623965) that reported revenue in fiscal year 2010 of $660 million and expenses of $594 million.
Overhead of $120,000 “Our district is unique in that we have so many students taking the exams,” Schmitt said. “We are forced to test off-campus, because we do not have facilities, chairs, tables, etc., to host such large numbers.” All SDUHSD students take AP exams at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which last year charged a rental fee of $8,500. Other expenses from last year, according to Schmitt, were $70,000 for proctors and staff hours, $20,000 for equipment and furniture rental, $10,000 for special equipment and lab rentals, and $10,000 for additional costs for special needs students. Bennett said last year the district had about 50 special education students, and some took six exams each. They have a variety of needs, she said, with some requiring individual proctors, one-on-one assistance or special equipment. “Special education students cost much more than regular education students to test, and SDUHSD has a large percentage of special education AP test-takers,” Schmitt said. Bennett said special needs students are not only special education students but also those with special circumstances, such as illness, sports conflicts, students with injuries, lastminute medical emergencies or small-group testing. About 7 percent of the district’s AP test-takers qualify for a fee reduction, she said.
Besides handling all logistical details and arrangements in preparation for the two weeks of AP testing, Bennett selects proctors, all of whom are credentialed teachers, and provides four hours of training. Hundreds of proctors can be required per session, to maintain a ratio of 25 students per proctor. An AP Calculus exam might have 600 students, she said, which would require 24 proctors. There can sometimes be as many as 1,100 students testing at one time, or as few as one or two. In 2011, of the 6,715 exams taken by 2,939 students, the breakdown by SDUHSD’s four high schools was as follows: School Canyon Crest Ac. Torrey Pines HS San Dieguito Ac. La Costa Canyon HS

Although colleges don’t require AP students to take the corresponding AP exam, Bennett said in a competitive environment many colleges consider AP test scores as part of the application package. School districts frequently encourage students to take AP tests because formulas used to rank the nation’s top high schools are often based on the number of AP tests students take. More AP tests translate into higher rankings. One common complaint about AP testing, besides the cost, is the timing of the tests in early May, which leaves four to six weeks of school remaining after the testing period. Many teachers feel pressured to race through the material to cover the subject completely before the exam, many students struggle with the fast pace, and many parents object to the less productive last few weeks of school. College Board’s Deborah Davis said testing is held in May primarily for the benefit of high school seniors beginning college in the fall. This, she said, “allows ample time for scoring and the delivery of scores to colleges in July. Colleges request this lead time to ensure credit/placement decisions are made in a timely manner for incoming students.” But Bennett estimated that 30 percent of seniors either cancel or don’t bother showing up for AP exams, even after paying for them, because “AP testing comes after kids have decided which colleges to attend.” SDUHSD’s deadline to register for AP exams is March 14, with late registration through March 28. Exams this year will be held May 7 to 18.
who earned $526,558. Peter Negroni, senior vicepresident of relationship development, earned $452,843, and chief financial officer Thomas Higgins earned $452,230. The average compensation package for these 22 executives was $371,420. Kathleen Fineout Steinberg, College Board’s executive director of communications, said in an email that the organization’s executive salaries “are established by a compensation committee of the Board of Trustees with the advice of independent, external compensation experts.” “Salaries are benchmarked against comparable organizations, includ-
ing other educational organizations and both forprofit and not-for-profit institutions of comparable size, scope and complexity,” she said. “As a nonprofit, employee compensation is governed by the IRS and must be considered reasonable and demonstrate a direct connection to the exempt purpose and mission of the organization.” Steinberg said all revenue is invested back into College Board’s programs and services, and the organization provides nearly $100 million in free programs and services annually, including more than $50 million in fee waivers and fee subsidies.

continued from page 4 at Sycamore Ridge for the last two years, moving from the old Ninth Street office. “We welcomed [the preschool] with open arms because it was the right thing to do, on a temporary basis,” said parent Maya Starling, who said Sycamore has supported the programs and included them in many of their school events.“We’ve reached the point where we can no longer support the program.” Starling said class sizes are over the cap at Sycamore, with the fourth grade sections having 28 and 29 students each. Additionally, parking is an issue with their relatively small lot, she said. She said the cost analysis done for the preschool did not account for the fact that their tax dollars should support their community school and not a district-wide program. Parent Ellie Church said when she visited the school in 2010, she was told the classrooms were 60 percent full and not to worry. However, her child began kindergarten this year in a classroom not designed specifically for kindergartners (usually kindergarten rooms have a bathroom in the back). Sycamore kindergarten classes were bumped from classrooms designed for
them to accommodate the district preschool. Church said she has a child in the preschool program even though she is not an employee of the district. “Why am I a client of the preschool at the expense of space that can be used by students at the school?”she asked. Parent Jill Seidenverg pointed out that it doesn’t make sense to place the preschool program at a school with increasing enrollment rather than a school whose enrollment is trending toward shrinking. Per Decision Insight’s numbers, Sycamore Ridge will be heavily impacted by future growth, particularly with the build-out of Pacific Highlands Ranch. In 201920, the numbers predict Sycamore could be over capacity by 188 students and by as many as 268 students in 2020-21. Parent Jeff Clorfeine said that the school is impacted enough now. “We have turned away families at Sycamore Ridge, classes are above cap and the situation is rising,” Clorfeine said “And I say that with my son at the preschool. We’re at the point that elementary students are getting displaced.” Echoed Starling: “We have no room to grow… Please consider an alternate location. We need to put the needs of our K-6 students first.”
PURCHASE continued from page 4 The modulars the district is looking to purchase are from Global Modular Inc. Wheaton said they are likely not “apples to apples” in the design to leased portables. He said purchasing the units allows them to match the architecture of the rest of the school, build interior casework (or cabinetry) that would be found in a normal classroom and make any adjustments needed. Each self-contained modular classroom is 960 square feet, with room for 29 desks and represents the “highest grade of relocata-
PAGE 7
bles.” “It’s very close to the design of the current classrooms of the Ocean Air facility, it’s not a standard 20 by 30 portable,” Wheaton said. “When you get into a leasing situation you’re restricted in what you can and can’t do.” The money for the purchase is already available through the Community Financing District (CFD). Trustee Comischell Rodriguez said if they have the money, they should make the investment in the children. “I appreciate trying to save some money for our district, but I ask that we not go cheap for our kids,” Rodriguez said.

Former sports anchor ‘transitioned’ into the world of news BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN You know the look. Like a space-traveler from another planet in sleek racing skins, swept-back aerodynamic helmet and almond-shaped sunglasses. Anyhow, that’s what Steve Atkinson looks most mornings on his regular 20-mile cycling spins around North County before he changes into a suit and tie to co-anchor the 10News with Kimberly Hunt at 5, 7 and 11 p.m. on San Diego’s ABC affiliate, KGTV. “I feel like I’ve accomplished something if I get out in the morning and go,” he said. All of which makes sense when you consider that Atkinson, 46, the son of a high school athletics coach, has always been into sports — and for the first 16 years of his broadcast career was a multi-awardwinning sports anchor in Arkansas, Texas and Colorado, before the axe fell on his sports career. We interviewed Atkinson at the Pannikin coffee shop on Pacific Coast Highway in Encinitas, a favorite pit stop for cyclists. Arriving on his bike, Atkinson was sporting a burnt orange Mellow Johnny’s jersey. “When I worked in Austin,” he explained, “I was a sports director and I used to do a bunch of stories on Lance Armstrong before and af-
ter he got cancer. And after he won the Tour de France the seventh consecutive time, he opened Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop that has become kind of a mecca. I’m a big supporter of Lance, so I love wearing the gear.” Atkinson was working as a sports anchor at KCNC-TV in Denver when the station began downsizing its sports department as the Internet was reshaping how fans chose to access their sports news. “I began to realize, I can’t do sports for the rest of my life.” Atkinson said. “It’s just not going to work. The salaries were getting smaller. The jobs were getting harder to find.” While he was thinking about it, in May 2006, he was one of about a dozen TV sports people in Denver whose contracts were not renewed, despite having won a prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award the year earlier for his story on the National Sports Center for the Disabled, “NSCD Angels.” Big shock. “When I lost my job in sports, I thought, what am I going to do with the rest of my life. This is all I know. This is what I do. “When I was looking for a job, I had absolutely no offers to do sports, but I had two offers to do news. With two kids in high school, it was survival mode time.

So I had to make that transition and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.” He signed on with the news department of Channel 10 to cohost a show called “10-4 San Diego,” a new late afternoon news and entertainment show. And with that he lived happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly. “The show failed miserably,” he said. “We launched it in the summer of 2006 — the worse possible time to launch a show. Every-
body goes on vacation. Nobody watches. And management panicked and killed the show after two months.” Now what to do? he thought. “I just moved here. My family hadn’t even gotten here yet. My wife and kids were on vacation at my in-laws and — they cancelled the show.” But, they said, “We feel like there’s a good future ahead for you here. We want to put you in a different role. And I said, ‘OK.’ At that point, I didn’t have a choice. I had nothing else. So I had to make this work.” Looking back, he said, “Life leads you down a path where you think things are crumbling and, all of a sudden, something opens up. “I transitioned into doing more reporting and anchoring, first the 7 p.m. news with Kimberly Hunt, and then, since May 2009, when Carol LeBeau retired [after 28 years with Channel 10], co-anchoring the 5, 7 and 11 p.m. news with Kimberly,” he said. Since joining Channel 10 going on six years ago, Atkinson has added five Emmy Awards to his collection. KGTV news director Joel Davis said of Atkinson: “Steve’s style is perfect for a newscast that doesn’t waste your time. He has the unique
ability to tell a story through the voice of accuracy, fairness, curiosity, diligence and integrity.” In his spare time, he’s also an aspiring screenwriter. Earlier this year, he table-read his screenplay “No Mountain Too High” at the My Screenplay competition at the Sundance Film Festival for which he won the “Best Drama” screenplay award. The screenplay is based on the real-life work of Elizabell (Willie) Williams who established a rehabilitation program in Denver to teach child amputees to ski. He is planning to “pitch” the screenplay at a meeting of production houses in Los Angeles in March. He’s also currently working on two new screenplays. Other items on his growing bucket list include travelling to Nashville with his wife for a total immersion into country music and someday taking a leisurely trip through Europe. “I’m the black sheep of the family,” he said, “because my father was a coach and a teacher, my mother was a teacher, my sister, Stacy, is a teacher, and my sister, Karen, is a teacher and her husband is a superintendent of schools. “And somehow I ended up in this industry.”

Del Mar Garden Club to hold special sale, educational talk Unique plants to be offered at March 26 event BY KELLEY CARLSON For the first time in years, the Del Mar Garden Club is selling plants from members’ private gardens to the public. The nonprofit organization is holding a sale and educational talk on March 26 at the Powerhouse Community Center, located at 1700 Coast Blvd. in Del Mar. Master gardener Carol Graham will focus on the subject of composting in a speech titled “Great for Your Garden; Good for Your Community,� which will start at 10 a.m. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., unique plants from garden club members will be offered at a great price, according to Carol Vernon, president of the organization. Mary McBride will have summer bulbs, rare succulents, California natives, drought-tolerant shrubs and legacy plants from Tom Piergrossi and Buena Creek. Also, Liz Youngflesh of Garden Glories Nursery will feature her alstroemeria collection, the latest from Annie’s Annuals, and many of the late master gardener and horticulturist Bill Teague’s recommendations for San Diego planting. Experts will be available at the event to answer questions.
Del Mar Garden Club members work on the garden at City Hall. PHOTOS COURTESY OF CAROL VERNON Although the sale is a rarity for the organization, the Del Mar Garden Club has been active for a couple of decades. It was started by Marnie Mahoney and Linda Teague in 1988 to “stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening and to contribute to the beautification of the community.� The original members consisted of Bette Coates, Jill Coughlin, Connie Geritz, Peg Hawkins, Rosanne Holliday, Karen Lockwood, Ginny Melvin, Sue Nutter, Marion Staver, Pat Welsh and Pat Stroud. A year later, the group expanded by 24 people. In 1991, the club held its first fundraiser: a garden tour and plant sale. The money was used to establish the garden in front of the city’s post office, and was designed by members Linda Chisari and Bill Teague. The organization — now total-

ing about 45 people of all ages — continues to maintain the garden. The Del Mar Garden Club has been involved with a number of projects over the years. “We do a large majority of the beautification you see in the Village,� Vernon said. Besides creating the garden at the post office, the group has had the trees in front the building pruned, and members maintain the display box in the front. The club has also worked on the walkway next to the Gold Center; the sidewalk garden plots at the 14th Street and Camino del Mar crosswalk area by Bully’s; the gardens at the library and in front of City Hall; the sculpture project at City Hall; and Crest Canyon Park, which consists of California native plants.

Garden Club members do most of the work, but they also receive help from the Public Works Department. “This is an amazing group of people that are so caring and kind to us,� Vernon said. “Aztec Landscaping also helps ... the city contracts with them, so if there are things that are too heavy for us to do, we do get help.� The group participates in nonlaborious activities, as well. For example, it has sent flowers to the wounded warriors at Balboa Naval Hospital through the Petals for Patriots Program. And each spring and fall, the club presents two beautification awards — the Pride of Del Mar — to businesses that contribute to the beautification of the Village. Last year, the club funded two grants to help with garden programs at Del Mar Hills Academy and Torrey Hills School. Members also presented a “Teach and Greet Seed Planting for Children� at the Del Mar Farmers Market’s 25th anniversary celebration, in which they supplied pots, seeds, instructions and dirt and taught children how to plant and take care of their seedlings. In addition, the Del Mar Garden Club held a fundraiser in conjunction with Friends of the Powerhouse to establish the Bill Teague Memorial Garden at the new Beach Safety Center. The organization offers monthly educational pro-

The most recent one was at the Mission Hills home of Jim Bishop, president of the San Diego Horticultural Society, according to Vernon. “We have seen some amazing gardens,� Vernon said. “These field trips really energize me and make me want to get back to my home and dig in the dirt.� More projects will soon be under way for the club. Vernon said members plan to continue working on the rock walls at the post office. There will also be a fundraiser referred to as “The Doors of Del Mar,� in which residents will be asked to submit photos of interesting entryways. The photos will be turned into
notecards and sold. Vernon said the nonprofit welcomes monetary donations for help in maintaining its projects or starting future ones. Contributions can be sent to the Del Mar Garden Club, P.O. Box 2832, Del Mar, CA 92014. “I have loved all of our projects,� Vernon said. “I especially get great joy when I walk around the Village and see all of the places we have made a difference. ... I love the feeling I get from working with such an enthusiastic group of women that do all of this work to help make the Village we call home more beautiful.� For more information about the sale or “The Doors of Del Mar� fundraiser, call Vernon at (858) 259-9549 or e-mail gardem@roadrunner.com.

HOW A SAN DIEGO HOT SPOT IS TURNING PEPPERONI AND HOPS INTO A SMALL-BUSINESS
SUCCESS STORY.
When Gina and Vince Marsaglia of Pizza Port were looking to offer their pizza and craft beer to more people in San Diego, they turned to Bank of America. By providing a business loan, we were able to help them expand their operations and open a fourth location — creating more jobs and economic growth in the area, and giving more people a chance to taste why Pizza Port is such a popular destination. Pizza Port is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in San Diego — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $1.27 billion in new credit to small businesses in California — an increase of 14% from 2010.

Cathedral Catholic High School first in San Diego County with school-wide One to One iPad3 Program Cathedral Catholic High School will begin the 2012-2013 school year by distributing Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest iPads to students and faculty to augment learning, making CCHS the first fully One to One school in San Diego. The acquisition of iPads for student and faculty use represents Cathedral Catholicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing commitment to utilize technology for more effective learning and instruction. Moreover, the school and parents have worked together to make sure this groundbreaking launch of technology will not increase tuition. (Left to right): Lucas Xavier, Cameron Mullins, Principal â&#x20AC;&#x153;These young people grew up on this Mike Deely and Alyssa Fiddes. type of technology â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re digital natives,â&#x20AC;? said Sean Doyle, director of technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe these devices will offer them access to more information for less money, as well as increase their efficiency and fully engage them in learning.â&#x20AC;? This form of communication and community collaboration will ensure success in a global workforce. With the iPad3s, CCHS will offer online classes to allow students more flexibility in their schedules and more course variety than would otherwise be possible. With choices ranging from AP Computer and Web Design to Mandarin Chinese and AP European History, students could take a seventh period course. With these goals in mind, CCHS has made the necessary changes to create a school that better serves its students, while staying true to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission as a Catholic school. Cathedral Catholic High School is currently accepting on-line applications for the 2012-2013 school year. Find out more at www.cathedralcatholic.org

A conservation celebration There was cause for celebration in Solana Beach on March 2. Residents and community leaders came together to commemorate the recent purchase of Gateway Park, which conservationists have had their eyes on for more than 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was one of the last and most important opportunities to preserve Solana Beach,â&#x20AC;? said local lawyer Wayne Brechtel, who represented the conservationists in their endeavor in 2004. The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy (SELC) pulled together financing to buy the property on very short notice when it
received word last spring that the lagoon site would be put on the market in coming months. The SELC closed escrow in December after months of negotiation. Previously there were plans to develop a hotel at the site, located on the east side of Coast Highway 101 at the north end of Solana Beach. A group of private financiers stepped up to buy the $3.75 million property, and now the SELC is raising money to pay them back. Gerri Retman-Opper, former chair of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Commission, was honored at the event by District 3 County Supervisor Pam
Dave Roberts, Bill Harmon
Slater-Price with a proclamation for her dedication in actively opposing the project and testifying repeatedly over the years to the city council, which was at one time split on the issue. She said her job is not done yet, and she will continue to focus her efforts on Gateway Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the conservancy owns it, and it is my goal to see these people paid off,â&#x20AC;? she said. (Look for a story on Retman-Opper in an upcoming issue of this newspaper.) For more information on Gateway Park or to make a donation, visit www.sanelijo.org/gateway. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Claire Harlin

Say ‘No’ to One Paseo project One Paseo deserves Just say NO to One Paseo! Those of us who have lived in the area since before Carmel Valley was built are against it. Is there any way for the public to vote on this project? There are many of us who are opposed to the One Paseo project. I have lived here for 37 years and have seen a huge amount of growth take place. We don’t need any more people, places, or things congesting an already overly congested area. Those who support this project seem to be those who: 1. Can walk to One Paseo. 2. Want to spend money at high-end shops and restaurants. 3. Think it will add thousands of jobs to the area. However, those of us opposed to One Paseo feel: 1. Traffic is already a nightmare. Most of us have to drive past this already highly congested intersection. There are already three high schools in the area, as well as a middle school, a 5th/6th grade school and numerous elementary schools. We have to contend with the traffic tie-ups caused by those who
drive their kids to school every day. If more schools are added to the area, it will lead to more traffic congestion. 2. For those who wish to shop at high-end boutiques, there is plenty of high-end shopping already available at Del Mar Plaza and Flower Hill Mall. Since the remodeling of Del Mar Highlands Plaza, there are currently at least 10 or more restaurants there. How many more eating establishments do we really require? 3. There will be construction trucks that will disrupt traffic for years to come. The “thousands” of jobs that they claim One Paseo will provide will also bring thousands of cars driven by the employees of these highend boutiques and restaurants. Again, traffic and parking is already a nightmare in this area. 4. Don’t forget about the terrible traffic we already suffer during the summer months, extending all the way into September, that drive down Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real access the Horse Park for Fairground and Racetrack park-
ing. Additionally, accidents on the freeway regularly force drivers to seek an alternate route on El Camino Real, which then cause traffic nightmares for local residents. 5. Do we honestly need another park? We already have a park across from Del Mar Highlands Plaza. It is called the Carmel Valley Community Center. 6. Last, but certainly not least, many stores in the shopping center have recently gone out of business or have “For Rent” signs in the windows. Why should more stores be added when the ones that were already there have gone out of business? 7. And one final caveat: The City of Del Mar wants to close traffic in downtown Del Mar in order to make it “pedestrian friendly.” If that does indeed come to pass, can you imagine how much more traffic that will add to Carmel Valley? If you care about maintaining the charm and character of the area, then please, just say NO to One Paseo. Anita Allen Del Mar Heights
city endorsement New building development in Carmel Valley should conform to smarter, more modern building principles. Forward-looking city planners should see that the proposed One Paseo project raises building standards in a way that would benefit both current and future residents here. Mixed-use developments bring a variety of elements — shops and restaurants, residences, recreation, office space, and more — into a single space. This maximizes land usage while making life a whole lot more convenient for the community. A single car (or bike) trip to One Paseo would be sufficient to meet a whole host of needs, from buying groceries to seeing a movie or grabbing dinner with a friend. In fact, developments of this sort represent a “smart growth” movement that’s catching on (and indeed, One Paseo has received the endorsement of MOVE Alliance, which recognizes the merit of “smart growth” projects). A varied cluster of community building blocks like shops and residences not only helps to encourage easy commuting alternatives (like walking or biking), but it’s also more environmentally sustainable. Kilroy has the right idea, and their project deserves the city’s endorsement. Dalia Jacobs-Brandt
One Paseo would create jobs Project bad for business At a time when we’re just emerging from a long recession, Carmel Valley should welcome responsible new business development. The One Paseo development under consideration could have a tremendously positive impact on Carmel Valley’s local economy. We would be foolish to ignore that potential. One Paseo would create thousands of jobs, many of which would be available permanently. Increased jobs and increased local business translates to increased local tax funds for Carmel Valley. That’s a benefit the whole community can share in, whether it involves more support for
our school system or better maintenance of our roads. Better to keep our money circulating within the community, rather than having to conduct so much business and shopping outside Carmel Valley, as many families presently do. The recession should have taught us the value of stable, sustainable jobs and growth — as well as the need to embrace positive opportunities when they’re right in front of us. Turning away from One Paseo would be a regrettable mistake and a huge missed opportunity for the community. Craig Sanger
Socialistic planning at its finest The City Council for the Republic of Del Mar, at their March 5 meeting, considered the proposed Parking Element of the Village Specific Plan. You can read the Staff Report at http:// www.delmar.ca.us/Government/ City%20Council%20Meetings%20 2012/cc20120305_item11.pdf. You really should read it! Remember, it was said at the beginning of the process THAT THE CURRENT ZONING CODE WAS TOO COMPLICATED! Somebody please tell me I am wrong that this proposed Specific Plan is SOCIALISTIC PLANNING AT ITS FINEST! GOODBYE, WHAT FREEDOM OF CHOICE WE HAVE HAD IN FAVOR OF THE COMMUNITY! At the end of the report, three alternatives were listed — I suggest-
ed a fourth. Don’t require ANY offstreet parking for commercial properties, same as Stratford Square at 15th (let properties cover 100 percent of lot area) — city purchase selected lots throughout commercial area to provide most efficient parking (circular, mechanized underground structures) — wouldn’t require near the land area mentioned throughout the report — like any business, “takes money to make money” — if city needs so much revenue from the commercial area, they should invest in the auto parking business and let the businesses do their business. Sounds more like the old American Way to me. Ralph Peck Del Mar
By now you’ve read about the terrible traffic the One Paseo project will cause, and like a previous writer said, we don’t need to do tons of mathematics to come to that conclusion. Also, we can clearly see that the original laws for this parcel of land were for 500,000 sq. ft. That’s the size allowed, and the market price for the land was set for that size, and that’s what the developers invested in. We also have solid evidence of shenanigans with the politicians and insiders of government making this a sweetheart insider deal behind the scenes for the developer. What is also bad for the community is the business of One Paseo. In addition to all the above terrible things about this project, what keeps coming across as a given “good” thing is “it’s good for business” and it will “create jobs.” The reality is that One Paseo’s business comes at the expense of other businesses, and is also a loss to individuals. Millions of square feet more commercial property? What about the existing business properties that are vacant and have been for years? How will the existing property owners do better with an even bigger glut of space? They won’t. One Paseo’s gains will be existing property owners’ losses. Any taxes collected from One Paseo tenants will come as a loss of taxes from existing property owners’ tenants.
Additional traffic means that losses come to existing business owners as customers are delayed in One Paseo traffic, and decide not to do business with them any more. Once again, One Paseo is taking money from existing business, not generating new business. What about the extra delays I suffer in One Paseo traffic? One Paseo is taking directly from me, since my time is money, too. What about the Highlands’ existing businesses? Why would I want to shop at a proposed, mythical, Trader Joe’s when I love Jimbos? Each dollar spent at a new Jimbo’s-like business is a dollar right out of the pocket of Jimbo’s. Once again, One Paseo is just shifting money from existing businesses to themselves. New jobs? No. Just a shift of low wage jobs from existing employers to One Paseo low wage employers. Google and Microsoft are not building a new complex here. None of the One Paseo jobs will support a family to own a house here. Wow, I wish that every time one of my investments or businesses didn’t do well, I could just change the rules, the way One Paseo is doing, and get some behind the scenes guys to OK it. There’s no economic value added with One Paseo. It’s very bad for business. Dave Wolfson Carmel Valley resident, business owner

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
One Paseo project will give community its heart No one likes change. However, the recently proposed change for Carmel Valley known as One Paseo, a proposal to build a Main Street in the heart of the city featuring shops, restaurants, residential alternatives and office employment, is one about which I am very excited. As a 13-year Carmel Valley resident, I see this change as one that will give the community its heart. As a veteran travel journalist, my job is to travel the world in search of its most special cities, towns and villages, which I share with readers. With no exception, the common denominator of each of these communities is its core, its downtown center, its village area. And to date, Carmel Valley is missing this element. I know change is difficult, with some residents resistant to any alteration of Carmel Valley. The Eiffel Tower, World Trade Center, the Louvre’s glass pyramid and San Francisco’s pyramid all met with similar opposition. And soon after their construction, all were embraced, all were considered iconic. Project developers have listened to the voiced concerns of residents that traffic will be increased and have addressed these concerns with plans that would help alleviate and control the additional traffic. And the positive benefits certainly outweigh those negative: more jobs, a wider tax base, increased local business opportunities – all at no cost to residents, since Kilroy’s development would be fully funded by private investors. Isn’t now the time for our community to take the necessary steps to make Carmel Valley as special as its residents deserve it to be? And if not now, when? Cynthia Dial Carmel Valley
REPAIRS continued from page 1 superintendent of business services, told the board the principal payments would be deferred for three years, at which time the district would need to recognize this liability. However, if San Dieguito is successful in passing a General Obligation bond in November, then GO bond proceeds could be used instead of dollars from the general fund to pay off the lease revenue bonds, according to the board report. The immediate need to replace the Torrey Pines field was a blow for the district. Dill said the lifespan of the field was estimated to be eight to 10 years. It is now in its 10th year and beyond the warranty period. Board member John Salazar said that paying $200,000 in upfront costs “seems enormously expensive.” Dill agreed, saying this was not “the preferable way of funding,” but the district had little choice. Although SDUHSD is considering asking voters to approve a GO bond that could potentially pay for this work the following year, Dill said the district could not wait another year to fix the field. He said the field is not safe, and the district risks incurring liability for injuries unless the turf is replaced. He said nothing on the field “appears to be grass any more.” Furthermore, the outcome of the GO bond – whether it will pass or even whether the school board will decide to place it on the November 2012 ballot – is uncertain. Dill said the TPHS Foundation approved a contribution of $50,000 for the cost of the landscape architect, D.A. Hogan & Associates, “who will create the specifications and oversee the installation by the contractor.” That cost, however,
is apart from the project funds approved by the board at the March 1 meeting. The vote was unanimous, although Salazar hesitated before voting. After the meeting, in an email, he said he was initially against the lease revenue bonds “because of their outrageous upfront expenses.” He said he was told by district staff that there was no alternative. “What really convinced me was that the administration believed that if we did not replace the field this summer, then the district could be vulnerable to lawsuits in the unfortunate event of an injury,” Salazar said. “I knew, by speaking to many parents and students, that the community wanted a new sports field, so even though I was frustrated by the expense, it was something that I ultimately decided needed to be done.” SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah later said staff explored the possibility of renting another field for one year until the district was able to determine the outcome of the GO bond, but this was not a viable option. And cancelling sporting events for one year was “unacceptable,” he said, calling the school’s athletic programs “an important part of our mission.” Dill said TPHS uses the field for six periods of physical education, plus football, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, track & field, cross country for speed work, and other sports for training, including cheer, wrestling, tennis, gymnastics and basketball. Public opinion poll The second bond-related item passed by the SDUHSD school board March 1 was to expand the scope of work with the Dolinka Group. A contract with Dolinka was approved last month to provide financial advisory services related to placing a GO
bond measure on an upcoming ballot, for $20,000, and to provide financial advisory services regarding the issuance of the bonds, for $65,000. Funding for both these phases is listed by the district as “campaign donations and future bond issues.” The newly expanded contract authorizes a third task for Dolinka: to obtain community input by hiring a professional polling service to question residents on their tolerance for new taxation for extensive renovations and upgrades districtwide totaling about $400 million. The projects would improve technology and modernize aging campuses that serve the district’s more than 12,000 middle and high school students. The GO bond, which the district is considering for the November ballot, would need 55 percent of voter approval. The district had first considered placing the GO bond on the June ballot, but that is no longer an option. “We want to get more information on public support before we take action, and there wasn’t enough time to get a poll done and then draft all of the documents which would be necessary to put the measure up for board consideration and submission to the county election officials,” Dill said in an email. Districts are restricted from using GO bond money to offset general fund operating costs; the money can only be spent on school facilities and capital improvements. The cost of the bond is limited to a maximum of $30 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value, and pricing and terms would be determined after preliminary work is completed. This newest component of the Dolinka contract replaces work that was to be done by another company,

at a school, they will go into a random lottery. Trustee Doug Perkins was the sole dissenting vote against the option areas. Perkins wants to look into legal issues such as whether the option areas are a violation of mello roos and to see how potentially moving the preschool from Sycamore Ridge would impact the situation. While Perkins wanted to wait, the superintendent and the rest of the board said action was needed now because of the current space needs and options should be available to families and students. “Kindergarten registration begins in March and it would be nice to have these discussions with incoming families,” Peabody said. “Our goal is to give families the choice that they want.” Several board members brought up past woes in wanting to move forward quickly with optimization. Trustee Kristin Gibson recalled how Ashley Falls students were moved to Sycamore Ridge as placeholders in 2007 and trustee Comischell Rodriguez recalled how students attended three different schools before they were able to go to Ocean Air. Trustee Doug Rafner said those cases of moving students were the result of “hard and fast” boundaries and the option areas represent better flexibility. Oakland-based Tramutola LLC, after the district’s Tramutola liaison unexpectedly resigned her post. Dolinka had originally submitted a separate proposal for this work as part of the group’s initial proposal and will conduct a limited public opinion poll on a smaller scale than first planned. The purpose, Noah said, is to determine the feasibility for success and gauge public opinion in light of potentially competing bond measures that may also be on the November ballot. Dolinka, according to the board report, will be “developing a community outreach program; identifying key stakeholders; creating factual non-advocacy information and material; designing, conducting and interpreting a limited baseline public opinion poll; and develop[ing] potential ballot language.” Noah said this is not advocacy, so district funds
“(The option areas) are the best solution for a fluctuating situation,” Rafner said. Peabody clarified a misconception that the option areas are only for new students— that is not the case. He said, for example, if a family with children currently at Ocean Air wanted to move their children to Sage Canyon because they live closer to that school, they would be able to do that under the new policy. An open house forum on the topic was held on Feb. 13 and there were a few complaints from parents at the meeting that there was not enough notification. Most reported hearing about the meeting second-hand and did not see the posting on the district website. Sycamore Ridge parent Jeff Clorfeine wondered why he received a phone call about gopher treatment, but the same notification process wasn’t used for the open house. Peabody apologized for the late notification, saying it was a miscommunication with the consultants. One parent argued that “option areas” was just semantics, that it was a boundary change if it kept local students from attending their community school. “What options do we have if the school is at capacity?” the parent asked.
can be used. The cost for this additional work will be $2,000 per month for March through July, $1,500 for August 1 to 15, $18,000 when the poll is complete, and other expenses related to authorized work. August 15 is the final day the school board can decide whether to proceed with the bond measure. Noah said the district will publish the results of the poll, which will identify where support exists, what supporters look like and where there’s little or no support. He said about 400 randomly selected registered voters would be contacted by telephone and the polling company would provide an “extensive summary” of the results. Noah said he would not bring the recommendation to the board if the poll does not show sufficient support. “That would be wasteful,” he said. “I have no interest in pursuing something that’s
a losing proposition.” Salazar had a number of questions regarding the amended Dolinka contract that Noah answered, but in the end was not satisfied and voted against the measure which passed 4 to 1. “I voted no because I feel that regardless how it is framed the end result of the survey/outreach will be slanted towards support of the GO bond,” Salazar said in an email. “I think if the administration believes we need to have a GO bond to re-build/re-model our schools, then that is what they should recommend to the board.” He said board members should be able “to make a decision without the aid of a very expensive political outreach and survey program at taxpayers’ expense.” But Noah said the poll would use neutral language and would provide vital information.

Pacific Swim Fab Four does it again San Diego Imperial Swimming held its short course Junior Olympics championships Feb. 24-26 at Rancho Bernardo High School. Pacific Swim’s boys 11-12 relay team won again. The relay team consisting of Brendan Santana, 12, Alexander Santana, 12, Austin Nguyen, 12 and Ryan Bilhorn, 12, smashed their own Junior Olympic 200 Free Relay record of 1:44.86 set last year 2011 coming in with a 1:41.34 and they also broke the San Diego Imperial record of 1:44.60 which was set by Heartland Swim Club back in 1979. The fab four decimated the 200 Medley Relay Junior Olympics and San Diego Imperial records by almost 5 seconds. Pacific Swim’s relay team came in with an impressive 1:53.20. The old Junior Olympics record and the San Diego Imperial record of 1:58.18 was set back in 1999 by The Blue Fins Swim Team. The crowd knew the records would fall as Pacific Swim’s relay team seed time was lower then the records, something you rarely see. This relay team is exciting to watch and everyone was hoping to see a possible national record. Pacific
The winning team. Swim’s relay team members individually placed first Brendan Santana, second Austin Nguyen, third Alexander Santana and sixth Ryan Bilhorn. Their coach Owen Molenaar says, “This group of boys have been swimming together for several years and have been breaking records every year along the way. We are looking forward to competing at Far Westerns and getting another chance at a national record.” This is an Olympic year and everyone in the swim world is extra excited. Remember these names, who knows you could be seeing them at the Olympics in 2016 or 2020.

laid out and difficult to park in. They also display warning signs that cause fear of getting towed and therefore patrons may have to move vehicles from place to place, adding to traffic congestion, instead of walking. A “park once” strategy would incorporate strategically located pockets of parking structures, surface lots and curb stalls. It would also encourage businesses to convert their private parking into public spaces, opening up more parking opportunities for everyone. The plan also presents the possibility of charging “in lieu” fees to help fund garages. This strategy may make Village parking more efficient and reduce the number of spaces needed because peak parking periods are at different times, said Bob Davis, a city traffic engineer. For example, some uses need more parking on weekdays and others on weekends. A mix of use could allow one use to have available parking while another may not need it, he said, adding that other cities, such as Chico, Pasadena, San Clemente and Ventura, have implemented a “park once” strategy. The council is considering a number of additional recommendations, but no action was taken. These recommendations include implementing a Village park-
ing benefit district, permitting businesses to charge for parking and allowing alternative formats such as tandem parking and lifts. Dealing with employee parking was a major concern of residents at the workshop. “Employees are parking on our residential streets and their cars stay there [while at work],” said resident Sharon Hilliard. “There’s got to be some place for those employees to go.” Claire McGreal said she does not oppose the plan, but opposes the plan as outlined out of concern that a single-lane Camino Del Mar with diagonal, town-andcountry parking stalls — as proposed in a previous traffic workshop — will result in congestion. “It will stop traffic when cars back out,” she said. “We see this in Encinitas, except Encinitas is two lanes whereas Camino Del Mar would be one lane.” She said it is unfair that plans discussed have the potential to benefit businesses while burdening residents. This sentiment comes in part from concern that slowed traffic on Camino del Mar may result in traffic spilling into residential areas. Several members of the council expressed a desire to benefit the community as a whole and not make revitalization an issue of one sector
against another. “I worry that if this residential issue is not handled it will spill over negatively to the rest of the Specific Plan,” said Sinnott. “I don’t want to see a good plan fail because of its impact on residents and concern that that impact could be heightened. I share that concern.” Mayor Carl Hilliard said we may be “looking at each piece of the puzzle without looking at the entire puzzle.” “We have a huge problem with beach parking, and we have a situation where people are willing to pay the ticket,” he said. “The portion of community west of Camino Del Mar is heavily impacted and it’s not just on Stratford.” Councilman Mark Filanc said it’s important to remember that once passed by voters, a parking plan could take up to 30 years before it sees full implementation in the private realm. “It’s not going to happen tomorrow if we vote this in,” he said. “We need to have checkpoints along the way to make sure we are on the right track … As we go forward our assumptions may change over time.” The city is in its administrative review period of preparing a draft Village Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report. Garcia will present these drafts at the March 19 council meeting.

Del Mar Little League League Standings as of 3/4/12 Juniors Team
BY GIDEON RUBIN Boys basketball: A clear pattern has emerged with Torrey Pines showing a tendency to start slow and finish strong. That pattern held true to form in a decisive 55-41 San Diego Section Division I championship game victory over Vista on March 3 at Jenny Craig Pavilion. The Falcons didn’t really look much like a section championship team more than halfway through the season in mid January when they were 10-9 after losing seven of 10 games during a stretch that included losses in their first two Palomar League games. But then they went on to win 12 of their next 13 games including all eight remaining league games. Their title game victory was their 10th straight win. The title game was a similar story. The Falcons trailed 29-24 at halftime and looked like they were about to get blown off the court during a stretch in the first half when they were outscored 21-3. But the Falcons stepped up their game defensively, a pivotal factor in their outscoring Vista 31-12 the rest of the way. Garrett Galvin scored 27 points to lead the Falcons, and Joe Rahon added 19 points. The Falcons section title was their first since 2001. The Falcons advanced to the finals after defeating San Ysidro 60-54 in a Feb. 28 semifinal. Rahon led the Falcons with 28 points and Sam Worman added 13 points and 12 rebounds. Galvin contributed 10 points. The Falcons improved their overall record for the season to 22-10 heading into the state tournament. ***** Cathedral Catholic captured the Division III championship with a thrilling 65-64 title game victory over Mission Bay on March 3. The Dons section championship was their first since 2000, when they were University High. Brandon Michel scored 22 points to lead the Dons, and Nick Prunty added 12 points. The title game victory followed a 65-61 win against St. Augustine on Feb. 28. Michel led the Dons with 25 points, and Xavier Williams added 11 points.

Two UCSD acting students triumph over adversity BY WILL BOWEN “Every day should be extraordinary,” claims Regan Linton, 30, a secondyear student in the MFA acting program at UC San Diego. Linton is herself quite extraordinary — she is the first person with a disability admitted into the program. Ten years ago, the car Linton was Gabriel Lawrence and Regan riding in was rearLinton, UCSD acting students. ended on the Inter- Will Bowen photo state 10 in L.A., while she was a student at USC film school. Linton’s spinal chord was injured and she became paralyzed from the chest down. But Linton doesn’t like the value-loaded and sometimes judgmental term “disability,” rather she says, “I have a different physicality,” which she is learning to know better and adjust to. It is a more equalitarian way of looking at things, an “I am mine,” response to the societal coercion to see things in certain preconceived ways. “We are all different and we need to accept our differences. We are not all cookies made from the same cookie-cutter,” she said. Linton was born and raised in a musical family, “a bunch of hams,” she said, from Denver. She was athletic growing up and threw herself into theater in high school, where she was also elected Head Girl (read ASB President). After her accident, Linton went back to Denver to recover. There she became part of a theater for disabled people called “Phamaly.” She won several awards for acting, including a Denver Post Ovation for playing Aldonsa in “Man of La Mancha.” “Phamaly gave me inner strength. It basically saved my life by pulling me out of the shell I had retreated into and helping me realize that I could be who and how I am.” Later, Linton returned to USC where she graduated with a degree in American Studies. She then decided to apply to the UCSD acting program. Linton has been in several plays at UCSD, including, “Three Penny Opera” and “Glass Menagerie,” performing all of her roles in a wheelchair. The set crew constructed special ramps to allow her access to the stage. Linton said the interdisciplinary character of the department has affected her most. “The program has helped me acquire a toolbox of techniques with which to approach my roles and given me a strong sense of self so I can go in and out of character without a lot of difficulty.” After graduation, Linton plans on opening her own acting school for “unique people.” Gabriel Lawrence, also 30 years old, is another See TRIUMPH, page B17
Surfing ‘epicenter’ celebrates 25 years
Rusty Preisendorfer, owner and namesake of Rusty Del Mar, shapes a surfboard out of his Miramar manufacturing center. PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN DURANT.
Internationally recognized brand has beginnings in Del Mar Village BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net What began with 16-yearold Rusty Preisendorfer shaping surfboards in his backyard in the 1960s grew into the mainstay hub of surfing culture in Del Mar. This year marks 25 years in business for Rusty Del Mar, located at 201 15th St., and just like its early days, the surf shop is not only a prominent gathering place for wave worshippers but carries a brand name that’s coveted worldwide. “Having a brand with so much heritage and history here in town adds to the image of Del Mar as a surf town,” said Zach Groban, co-owner of the shop. Like many Del Mar youth, Groban has been hanging out at Rusty’s since he was old enough to surf, and he said it was an honor to take his first job there at age 17. “You always idolized the kids who work here. Working here was cool, and all my friends hung out here and
worked here,” said Groban, 32, who joined Preisendorfer in becoming a partner in the business almost a decade ago. “It’s awesome, it’s so tight- knit here. Living here, growing up here and then owning it — it’s pretty cool.” Before Preisendorfer even started surfing, he was perusing garage sales for old surf boards and fixing them up. Thousands of boards later, his surf gear and well-known brand are recognized internationally by a single letter “R” with a dot — just like he used to sign his name on his signature boards. Preisendorfer surfed at Windansea while attending La Jolla High School in the 1960s and perfecting his board shapes under the influence of pros like Dick Brewer and Skip Frye. He studied art at the University of California, San Diego — which further perfected his craft. Not only did he pen the artwork on boards, but surfboard shaping is part skill and part art. “Back then you did every-

PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN thing, from shaping to artwork to fiberglassing,” said Groban. “Surfboard shaping is a really creative skill. You have to think about what shapes will work well in the water and visualize the contours and rail lines in a surfboard.” Preisendorfer said opening Rusty Del Mar 25 years ago is connected to his fond memories of driving up the coast from La Jolla in the 1970s and 1980s looking for surf. “Fifteenth Street was usually my first stop,” he said.

“I’ve always loved the cool, small-town vibe of Del Mar.” Preisendorfer launched the Rusty brand in 1985, and he said he remembers driving down 15th Street on several occasions and noticing a little corner boutique that never seemed to be open. “I thought to myself, ‘What a great spot to open a surf shop,’” said Preisendorfer, who still works full-time shaping boards out of his Miramar warehouse. “My wife, Angie, and I opened Rusty Del Mar See RUSTY, page B6

La Jolla Playhouse patrons will get to experience Bernhard’s muse when she brings her new show, “I Love Sandra Bernhard brings her high-octane show ‘I Love Being Me, Don’t You?” to Being Me, Don’t You?’ to the Playhouse Potiker Theatre town, March 14–17. March 14–17. The Playhouse design teams are going all out for Bernhard’s energetic cabaret concert that features comedy, monologues and her usual riff. A unique performance space is being created in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre to resemble a 1920’s supper club with multi-level platforms, banquettes, and beverages and refreshments for purchase. Bernhard started her performance career at The Comedy Store in the 1970s. Her shows include: “Without You Second City performers Tawny Newsome, Michael I’m Nothing,” (also a feature Kosinski, Rachel Miller, Tim Ryder and Eileen Montelione film that she wrote), “Excuses perform ‘Laugh Out Loud Tour’ at La Jolla Playhouse, for Bad Behavior,” “Giving March 21– 24.

Solana Beach center turning kids into ‘Garden Ambassadors’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Ten kids in Solana Beach became “Garden Ambassadors” on Feb. 29, graduating from an intensive sixweek organic gardening program at the Solana Beach Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, housed at the San Dieguito Boys and Girls Club. The program, directed by Andi MacLeod, gives kids grades 2 to 6 a broad understanding of organic gardening, from seedlings, to compost to insects. The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle was opened on Earth Day in 2009, and the garden program has been going on for the last several months. Carolyn Perkins, the center’s director, said the feedback on the gardening program has been spectacular. “Once kids get a chance to make things grow and see how they grow they will be all the more inspired to eat well,” said Perkins, adding that the center also has kids’ cooking classes, as well as other
types of gardening classes. Skyline Elementary student Clinton Alden said the program was fun because he had the opportunity to not only learn about growing things, but to also grow them. “Then we can put what we grow in our school garden and make it better,” he said, adding that he is a huge plant fan, and loves collecting bean seeds from plants and replanting them. Sheldon Goldman said his son, Adam, always came home excited from
the program. “He’d tell us about new things he learned and he’d apply those things in our own garden,” Goldman said. For more information about classes or volunteer opportunities, call (858) 436-7502 or email CHL@ positiveplacesd. org.

RUSTY continued from page B1 [soon after].” He said it’s been fun to watch several generations of the young local surfers start out at Rusty with their first summer jobs and then go on to have successful careers. “Quite a few now hold key positions in the surf industry,” Preisendorfer said. Groban described Rusty as the “epicenter” for surfing in the community — the place where kids come to see the latest surf video or newest model of board. “We see kids wanting surf stickers when they are barely old enough to talk,
and also kids getting their first boards here,” Groban said. “We see them grow up with the sport.” Preisendorfer said Rusty Del Mar enjoys steady and sure seasonal tourist business, but the connection to Del Mar is much more important to him. “I find the support from the longstanding loyal customers the most rewarding,” he said.

The ‘eyes the limit’ at new eyewear retailer Owner of Optylux discovered, pioneered sale of feather-inlayed eyewear frames BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Feathers are at the fashion forefront, commonly seen in ladies’ hair, on clothes or worn as jewelry. But have you ever heard of feathers in eyewear? It’s a new thing and there’s only one line of eyewear in the world doing it — Italian brand été, meaning “summer” in French — and there happens to be a retailer in Solana Beach that carries the line. Optylux just opened its doors at 731 South Highway 101 last week. In fact, owner Helmut Igel opened the store, in part, because he was so inspired by the feather line. “I discovered the line at the MIDO trade show in Milan, and I thought, ‘Wow, women are really
Left: Helmut Igel, owner of Optylux, shows off a pair of Nautic glasses, made famous in the 1970s by stars such as Elvis Presley and Elizabeth Taylor. Above: Optylux, which recently opened its doors at 731 South Highway 101, is known for importing featherinlayed eyewear from Italy. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN going to love this,’” Igel said. “They are the only ones using real feathers, but what really inspired me was the color and artistic talent.” Igel has been selling the eyewear to individuals and optometry offices for a few years, however, he wanted to open his own store so
he could include more unique, high-fashion pieces. “I was finding out that optometry offices were too conservative in what they would carry,” he said. “We find there are so many different types of personalities and we try to have it all. There’s more out there
than black and tortoise frames.” The frames are crafted by hand in Italy from pheasant feathers, which are laid between two sheets of plastic, pressed for 12 hours and then cut. The excess material is used to make matching bracelets
and pendants, and each pair of glasses comes with a feathered case. Igel said Optylux is focused on retail, whereas most optometry offices focus on the medical aspect, with retail coming second. “We’re fashion-oriented,” he said. “We wanted
to be more creative, and offer eyewear not seen anywhere else.” In addition to the été line, Optylux carries a number of frameless styles from a line called Flair. For more information, call (888) 330-4636 or visit www.optylux.com.

After School Learning Tree prepares children to be global thinkers After School Learning Tree is a multicultural, after school enrichment academy dedicated to providing children the highest quality educational programs in a safe, nurturing and artistically vibrant environment. We are deeply committed to developing children to be at the top of their peers and be creative global thinkers. We attract and retain award winning professional educators with accomplished degrees and experience. We employ caring staff and encourage deep family involvement. It is our mission to prepare children to become responsible citizens and embrace the challenges of a complex and changing world. Our classes go above and beyond the normal day school curriculum by reinforcing and expanding the curriculum into advanced learning. Many students are studying beyond their grade level and consistently win academic awards, as well as competitions in the arts and music. In the California STAR Test, our elementary students, grades two through six, consistently achieve
much higher scores than the average San Diego score. Prior to the test, our tutors work with our students so they may confidently approach the testing. We also provide SAT/ ACT tutoring programs for high school students preparing to take college entrance exams. We not only strive to help our children realize their potential as students, but also as people and as the leaders of tomorrow. We believe opportunities for new experiences are crucial aspects in a student’s growth and learning. This is why, though our emphasis is academic, we are equally focused on the arts and athletic programs, which include art, music and martial arts. Our 25,000 square foot building holds classes for adults who want to be lifetime learners. We have lessons for languages, music, the visual arts, speech & leadership, dance and much, much more.

Jimbo’s…Naturally came to teach all of the students how to make a veggie mac n’ cheese; the Dad’s Club welcomed dads to bring healthy lunches; and the Roadrunners club offered double stamps for participants. The ESC program also focused the week’s learning on healthy choices with students making technology projects about food pyramids and charting calories and fat in food; in art students made fruit and vegetable prints; students played the “veins and arteries” game in PE and recess; and vegetable music rhythms were taught in music. Each student left school with a healthy goodie bag filled with apples, recipes and a coupon for family dinner night that evening at Urban Plates.

Rep to tackle border-related tensions in ‘Tortilla Curtain’ Following on the heels of La Jolla Playhouse’s production of “American Night: The Ballad of Juan José,” San Diego Repertory Theatre will further examine the dreams, fears and apprehensions surrounding Southern California’s trans-border experience with a stage adaptation of “The Tortilla Curtain.” The production, based on T.C. Boyle’s gripping novel of the same name, explores the issue of illegal immigration through the viewpoint of two couples living in close proximity to each other in Topanga Canyon. They include the affluent and idealistic Kyra and Delaney Mossbacher, and Cándido Rincón and his pregnant wife, América, homeless immigrants camping in the canyon below the Mossbacher’s gated community.
TRIUMPH continued from page 1 extraordinary student in the MFA program. He was born and raised in a broken family in the African-American ghetto in Houston. His said his Christmas gifts were provided by The Salvation Army, and at night, he often heard gunshots. A highly developed ambition for success is what makes Lawrence extraordinary. “By the time I was in the third grade, I had decided that I would do everything and anything to get out of the ghetto ... and hopefully end up being a movie star.” Gabriel said he worked hard in a number of areas but had the most success in speech/debate and power lifting. He made the nationals in both while in high school. When he was 17, he benchedpressed 274 pounds, dead lifted 578, and squat thrusted 515, to become first in the nation. Lawrence ended up with 24 scholarship offers to college. He decided on Texas A&M in Amarillo, where he

earned a degree in Mass Communications. After college, Lawrence went to Los Angeles where he worked as a video editor. But he did not find his job fulfilling. “I am not getting any younger,” he thought, so he decided to pursue his dream of acting, at UCSD, “because I wanted to be with the best.” Lawrence said he lives his life by maxims like, “You have got to treat your talent like it was your woman. If you don’t care for it and nourish it, you will lose it.” And, “The sky is the limit but you have to shoot for the stars.” And, “Never admire another man’s swagger more than your own.” And “If you don’t go, you won’t know.” Lawrence said UCSD’s training has helped him better become the characters he plays. “I’ve learned to drop in, to embody, and go deep into how the character lives in my body, so as to be the person in a believable manner,” he explained. Professor Kyle Donnelly is head of the MFA acting program. A director by trade,
she has an uncanny ability to help students learn how to perform. “I am part of the quest for The Great American Acting Method,” she said. “I try to teach each student how to make best use of himself. I teach the students to seek the truth on stage in an honest and transparent manner. “I help them to find their own unique and improvisational way into a role, with the text as the map to guide them. We want the audience to feel as if the acting is truly happening right in front of them, for the first and only time.” Want to know more? • Regan Linton appears in the Janet Hayatshahi performance installation piece, “The Rest is Silence,” 8 p.m. Feb. 29 and March 1-3 in the Mandell Weiss Theater, UCSD. • Gabriel Lawrence can be seen on March 25 in the Graduating Students Showcase at the Forum Theater, UCSD. • More details: www. theatre.ucsd.edu or email business4gabriel@yahoo.com or reganlinton@gmail.com.

Quinoa: It’s the old/new gluten-free super grain! The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Question: My husband and I are summer sizing to get in shape for our June vacation. I’ve noticed quinoa is the new healthy grain, popping up everywhere from divey diners to high-end eateries and even on supermarket shelves. Should I be eating it as a carb side dish or a main-course protein? What’s quinoa’s status update? — Lisa S. Answer: A plant food source like quinoa is neither fish nor fowl, making it a ticklish task to label its status. This supergrain is like a
combo plate with various quantities of both protein and carbs. So you have to look at your overall carb and protein intake throughout the day to decide whether you want to convert quinoa into a carb side or a maindish protein. Embrace its multitasking attributes — toss it in pilafs, stews, salads, stir-fries, turkey burgers or meatloaves or anywhere you want to swap out pasty, empty carbs like white flour and Styrofoam white rice for the nutritional powerhouse busting with nutty and grassy nuances. Quinoa pairs well with legumes making a fine vegan or vegetarian meal or grilled deep-sea scallops or chicken breasts for die-hard pescavores or pollitarians. Try dry roasting the seeds before cooking for a toasty, savory flavor or boil in apple or orange juice, adding a touch of sweetness ideal when adding to breakfast cereals or desserts like a quinoa “rice” pudding with dried fruit and coconut milk. Whip up muffins, breads, cookies, scones or pancakes with quinoa flour. Or go raw and sprout the seeds, topping off sandwiches or munch them

Even the leaves of the quinoa plant are edible and nutrient rich, so toss with salad greens or steam like spinach, sautéed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil. Quinoa is nature’s nearly perfect and complete food packed with assorted nutrients. One cup of the cooked grain has more calcium than a quart of milk, ounce for ounce more protein than a slab of meat, eight essential amino acids along with tons of iron, vitamins A and B and phosphorous. Quinoa pronounced Keen-wa is not a true botanical grain since it’s the seed of the herb plant Chenopodium or Goosefoot. As a pseudocereal rather than a member of the grass family

Welcome to the NEW Classified Neighborhood!
quinoa makes an ideal substitute for celiacs or gluten intolerant folks. Although quinoa, a close cousin to beets and spinach, has recently arrived on the culinary radar screen as a hip grain, this Andes’ native has been around for centuries. A sacred staple of the Incan people since 3,000 B.C., their precious “mother grain” provided a motherlode of nutrients that fortified them to build the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. While over 120 species, only three are cultivated today, including the basic cream-colored seed, the crunchier, slightly bitter red variety, and the rarer black seed. You can mix and match for interesting Technicolor on your plate. And since all varieties require the same cooking time, they can be boiled together. Generally, use one cup of raw quinoa to 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the water is absorbed, and the beautiful seed pops, about 12 minutes. When cooked, it’s both fluffy and crunchy at the same time, showing off its characteristic shape, when the outer germ of each indi-

John Lefferdink & Associates earns top honor John Lefferdink & Associates were recently awarded San Diego Magazine’s “Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction” award for 2011. Researchers contracted by San Diego Magazine surveyed more than 30,000 recent home buyers to identify exceptional Angela Meakinsreal estate agents in Bergman San Diego County. Angela Meakins-Bergman and Lisa Kelly, of John Lefferdink & Associates, share a motto in life that with determination and commitment you can achieve any goal. Lisa and Angela are extremely professional and understand the fundamentals of the ever-changing real estate market. What sets them apart is their passion for real estate and their caring and commitment for each individual client and their specific needs. As Brett Dolch, a recent client of the Lefferdink team, stated, “I was told over and over it may be difficult to sell my home, but you made it seem easy. The entire process went much faster and easier than I ever thought it would and you were always there to answer any questions or concerns I had. Thanks again for all of the help and I will never hesitate to call you in the future.” Recently, the Lefferdink Team listed a beautiful home in the Crosby on “Road to Singapore” and they successfully negotiated a short sale approval on “White Christmas” in the Crosby. In addition, a wonderful property on “Road to Rio” in the Santa Monica subdivision of Santaluz successfully
closed. Lisa and Angela feel that buying a home is a major investment — and one that is only partially determined by the property in question itself. When choosing where to settle down for the long haul, buyers must take into considerLisa Kelly ation not only the look, feel, layout and amenities of their prospective home, but also those of the surrounding neighborhood. Proximity to work, school, retail and entertainment venues, as well as San Diego’s famous beaches and inland recreation areas, are all prime considerations; and because low interest rates broaden the scope of homes in a given buyer’s price range, current buying conditions make it possible for individuals and families to get more for their money than ever before. The girls will be hosting an “Open House” outside their office in the Del Rayo Village Shopping Center during the Farmer’s Market on Sunday, March 11, from 10 a.m.1 p.m. Bring the kids and enjoy free cookie decorating and balloons as well as pick up some useful information on real estate sales and activity in your neighborhood. For more information on this event, please feel free to call Lisa Kelly at 858-8805242 or Angela Meakins-Bergman at 858405-9270. Del Rayo Village Shopping Center is located at 16079 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091.

Amy Cook opens new 4S Ranch RE/MAX office Amy Cook, one of North County’s premier realtors with RE/MAX Ranch & Beach, is reopening the RE/MAX Ranch & Beach office in 4S Ranch in the 4S Commons Town Center. Cook, herself a longtime resident of 4S Ranch, has watched the community grow. “It’s important to provide an anchor in the neighborhood for families wanting to buy or sell,” Cook says. “With the housing market growing stronger, now is the perfect time to help provide even better, more convenient, local options.” The office, (which was a RE/MAX office prior to relocating to headquarters in Rancho Bernardo) is located in the southwestern quadrant of the marketplace — and Cook says she invites all the neighbors to stop by and say hello. “Helping families find their dream home is such a unique experience, I am meticulous about every detail, every step of the way throughout the entire process,” Cook says. “Buying a home is more than an investment; it’s an incredibly personal journey that I am lucky to share with my clients.” In addition to achieving elite Platinum
Member and Hall of Fame status with RE/ MAX, Cook, #1 Buyer’s Agent for 92129, has also received the prestigious FIVE STAR Agent Award for the fourth year in a row. Cook is part of a select group in the 2012 San Diego Five Star Real Estate Agents, representing less than 3 percent of real estate agents in the area, chosen for exceptional service and overall satisfaction. “Amy’s experience in providing that one-of-a-kind service to her clients, combined with her patience, communication and commitment to excellence makes her one of the most valued members of our team,” says Al Haragely, owner and broker of RE/MAX Ranch & Beach. “RE/MAX has the well-deserved reputation for outstanding agents and business practices, and Amy, who is one of our top producers, helps continue that tradition.” Cook works throughout San Diego County, helping buyers and sellers reach their goals.
