BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Solana Beach coastal property that had long been pursued by developers is now a park named Harbaugh Seaside Trails, thanks to a $1.15 million donation to help preserve the parcel. “I can’t believe this is happening,” said Margaret Schelsinger, Solana Beach’s first mayor. “It is just so wonderful. It’s a gift for the community.” Known as the Gateway property, the 3.44-acre parcel sits along the east side of Coast Highway 101, across from Cardiff State Beach and south of the San Elijo Lagoon. With views of the lagoon and the ocean, commercial developers and concerned resident have fought over the future of the property for decades, as several projects were proposed. The people who pushed for Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986 did so in part because they were outraged that the county approved plans for a hotel on See GATEWAY, page 28

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar City Council kicked off 2015 by inching forward on what has long been one of the city’s goals: establishing a parking management plan. During the Jan. 5 council meeting, staff unveiled a draft plan to help alleviate parking problems in the downtown commercial area. From establishing a parking management implementation team, to expanding paid parking, the plan proposed dozens of strategies. “This is a comprehensive start, but it’s got too many options and no prioritizaSee PARKING, page 28

Fourth Annual Cure for Cancer Cup

The Canyon Crest Academy and Cathedral Catholic High School soccer programs hosted the fourth annual Cure for Cancer Cup on Jan. 9 at Cathedral Catholic High School. The goal of the event is to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Junior varsity and varsity games were held. Donations at the games go to the Cure Search for Children’s Cancer (www.curesearch.org), supporting research programs for the treatment of children’s cancer. The varsity game started with a moment of silence to honor those that have lost their lives to cancer. Ten-year-old Robert Bednar, a cancer survivor, was the special guest for the event. Robert participated in the coin toss and was a honorary member of the CCA soccer team for the evening. (Above, left) CCA goalie Brandon Weinreb and special guest Robert Bednar.

SD City Council President delays One Paseo vote • Community members ask for meeting to be moved to Carmel Valley BY KATHERINE P. HARVEY, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner has postponed an expected Jan. 27 vote on the controversial One Paseo mixed-use development, in hopes of holding the hearing in Carmel Valley. It’s the latest in a series of setbacks Los Angeles-based Kilroy Realty has faced as it tries to get approval for its $650 million residential, retail and

office development in Carmel Valley. Lightner, who was recently installed as council president, controls the docket for the governing body and said she received numerous requests from Carmel Valley residents to move the meeting to their neighborhood. “It’s not that she is delaying the meeting, but we’re trying to locate a venue in the community to have the hearing, if possible,” said Lightner’s

communications director Jennifer Kearns. “Once we find it, a 10-day notice will go out and then the legislative council will set the meeting.” Items must be docketed two weeks in advance of a council meeting, Kearns said. That means the One Paseo vote would have to be put on the agenda by Tuesday, Jan. 13, and a notice published 10 days before the hearing. Kearns said moving the meeting may make it See ONE PASEO, page 28

Fairbanks Ranch Country Club negotiating sale to San Francisco-based company BY JOE TASH The board of directors of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, which sits on some 400 acres of land owned by the city of San Diego in the San Dieguito River Valley, is negotiating a purchase and sale agreement with the San Franciscobased Bay Club Company, country club officials have confirmed. Before a deal can be finalized, three things must happen, said Steve Wittert, the country club’s general manager: a purchase and sales agreement must be signed by the board and the company, club members must vote to approve the sale, and the city must approve transferring the lease for the property from the country club to the Bay Club Company. The country club does have a signed “letter of intent” with Bay Club Company regarding the proposed purchase, Wittert said, while another country club official said the club is “very close” to signing a purchase and sale agreement with Bay Club Company.

One view of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club. Photo by Jon Clark Earlier proposed purchase offers for the country club, including one deal involving U-T San Diego publisher Douglas “Papa Doug” Manchester and golfer Phil Mickelson, fell through, Wittert said. The private, invitation-only country club, which features golf courses totaling 27 holes, tennis courts and other facilities, is owned by its members. Wittert said the club has 375 golf members and 125 social members, as well as members in other categories. The Bay Club Company operates 11 resorts on the West Coast, and also has partnerships in Squaw Valley and Carmel Valley Ranch, according to its website. Among its holdings is the Bay Club Carmel Valley at 12000 Carmel Country Road, which offers swimming pools, tennis courts and a 15,000-square-foot fitness center. The country club’s 61-year lease with the city expires in 2044. Under its terms, the club was exempt from paying rent from the start of the lease in 1983 through 2009. In return, club members paid for some $25 million in improvements to the property. Beginning in 2010, the country club See CLUB, page 6

Son gets 25 years to life for SB woman’s murder • Jury found man, who is mentally ill, to be legally sane at the time of the killing BY DANA LITTLEFIELD, SPECIAL TO THE SB SUN, DM TIMES, CV NEWS A mentally ill man who bludgeoned his mother to death with a hammer, then partially dismembered her at her Solana Beach home was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years to life in prison. Bryan Chang, 33, admitted to first-degree murder in the 2010 death of Sherry Chu Chang, 60, but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. In November, a jury determined he was legally sane at the time of the killing. Had the jury found him legally insane, Chang would have been sent to a state mental hospital instead of prison. His lawyer, Kathleen Cannon, argued Tuesday in Vista Superior Court that the jury made the wrong decision, and that her client should get a new trial. She said the only reason Chang is in court and his mother is dead is because of his mental illness. In January 2010, Chang — who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia — was operating under a delusion that his mother was a “presence” that was destroying him, when in reality she was his only connection to the real word, Cannon argued. Since his arrest, the attorney said, Chang has been taking medication that not only helps him control his behavior, but helps him understand his crime. Deputy District Attorney Rachel Solov, the prosecutor in the case, argued that the jury had made the correct decision, based on the evidence presented in trial. She con-

ceded that Chang’s mental illness was a factor in the killing, but she argued that the law says the inquiry does not end there. She said the evidence, including Chang’s behavior before and after the murder, indicated he knew he was guilty and understood that his actions were morally and legally wrong. Judge Harry Elias agreed with the prosecutor and denied the new trial motion. He then sentenced Chang to the term prescribed by law. Chang was described during the trial as highly intelligent. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and worked in the computer software field, but had not had a job for more than a year before his mother’s death. His mother had been paying his rent in Los Angeles, and the black Lexus he drove was registered in her name. Sherry Chang had worked at WASSCO, an industrial supplier with offices in Poway, for about 30 years, becoming part owner with two others before they sold the company in 2008. After the sale, she stayed on as vice president of finance. On Jan. 25, 2010, her body was found on a bathroom floor of her home on Santa Florencia in Solana Beach. Her right arm had been cut off and placed in the refrigerator. A piece of bone, probably part of her skull, was found in a bedroom nightstand. Bryan Chang tried to clean up the crime scene before leaving the house and calling a cab to take him back to Los Angeles.

Carmel Valley apartment fire kills man CV garage fire causes $150,000 in damage BY KAREN KUCHER, SPECIAL TO THE CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, DEL MAR TIMES, SOLANA BEACH SUN A man died Jan. 9 in a suspicious fire that broke out in a two-story apartment complex in Carmel Valley, authorities said. Firefighters said they found smoke and flames coming from a bottom-floor unit at the apartments on Caminito El Rincon near High Bluff Drive when they arrived about 11:30 a.m. They knocked the fire down in about 10 minutes and discovered a man inside the apartment suffering from serious burns, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Capt. Joe Amador. The man was taken to UC San Diego Medical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burn unit for treatment but he did not survive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the suspicious nature of it, arson investigators were involved,â&#x20AC;? Amador said. He said the investigators will try to determine what sparked the blaze. Another apartment in the complex sustained minor smoke damage from the fire, which caused an estimated $20,000 in damage.

Woman who placed ad soliciting rape of CV homeowner sentenced to five yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation, home surveillance BY KELLY WHEELER, CITY NEWS SERVICE A former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother of the Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; who waged a harassment campaign against a couple who bought a Carmel Valley house she wanted, culminating with a Craigslist ad encouraging men to go to the home and rape the wife, was sentenced Jan. 9 to a year on electronic home surveillance and five yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation. Kathy J. Rowe, 53, was also ordered to stay away from the victims for the next 10 years. The defendant, who lives about a mile from the couple, pleaded guilty last year to a felony stalking charge. According to the prosecution, Rowe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a former county employee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; placed an online ad sometime between October 2011 and June 2012 inviting men to come to the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and rape her. A Superior Court judge originally dismissed the sex solicitation charges, but the District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office appealed the decision and the 4th District Court of Appeal reinstated See SENTENCED, page 28

BY KAREN KUCHER, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN An electrical fire in a two-story garage in Carmel Valley early Monday, Jan. 12, caused about $150,000 in damage and displaced one resident, authorities said. The fire was reported in the ground floor of a stand-alone garage on Del Vino Court near Little McGonicle Ranch Road shortly after 5 a.m., said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Capt. Joe Amador. A man who lives above the garage heard a loud popping sound and came downstairs to find the ground-floor garage on fire, Amador said. When firefighters arrived, he was trying to put it out. Amador said it took crews less than 15 minutes to put out the fire, which was determined to be accidental in nature and sparked by an electrical issue. He said the space is used as a garage workshop. No one was injured in the fire.

Planning board OKs renovation of The Farm at Del Mar Meadows equestrian center BY SUZANNE EVANS The Farm at Del Mar Meadows, a five-acre equestrian center at 5275 Del Mar Mesa Road, is undergoing enhancement and renovation. On Jan. 8, Michael Rollins, architect, Rollins Construction Consulting, presented to the Del Mar Mesa Planning Board a summary of enhancements to the equestrian center, including changing the design of the stables in the mid-pad area â&#x20AC;&#x153;to better accommodate the needs and care of horses.â&#x20AC;? At the Jan. 8 meeting, the Del Mar Mesa Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the renovations. Three stables will be added, housing 45 to 47 horses, with one stable maintained as is. Adding a stable building in the lower pad will free the old stable area for an open corral, Rollins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the stable will be single-story, with windows allowing natural light. In the back, two-story offices will overlook the arena. There will be no change to the land use or intensity of use; the project has been through the substantial conformance review,â&#x20AC;? Rollins said, presenting renderings of low, streamlined buildings with sleek gray and white lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eclipse residencesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views. Horses will leave from the side barn, not near propertiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; windows,â&#x20AC;? said the equestrian centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Diane Korsh, a Del Mar Mesa planning board member, who recused herself from discussion of the project, pending board approval. Korsh added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water will be recycled, and arenas will be watered down once or twice a day with re-used water.â&#x20AC;? She praised the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of properties need the location, rather than going out to Poway.â&#x20AC;?

Scripps doctor researching new therapies for treatment of pancreatic cancer BY JOE TASH Dr. Darren Sigal, a cancer physician and researcher at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, spends much of his time helping patients battle pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and those diagnosed with the disease have only a 4 or 5 percent chance of surviving five years. “The numbers are challenging,” said Sigal, a Carmel Valley resident for the past nine years. However, in recent years, researchers have come up with a number of promising new treatments for pancreatic cancer, and some of them are already helping patients. For example, the drug Abraxane was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2013 for late-stage or metastatic pancreatic cancer. According to Sigal, the one-year survival rate of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, which has spread to other parts of the body, has improved from 10 percent to about 30 percent, thanks to the drug. One of the characteristics of pancreatic cancer that makes it particularly difficult to treat is that its tumors form a “shell” that can block standard chemotherapy drugs, said Sigal. Abraxane can target and dissolve the shell, he said. Other treatments being studied, some of which are close to approval by the FDA, would attack tumors in different ways, or degrade the tumors’ defense mechanisms, making them more susceptible to the body’s immune system. “There’s a lot of promise,” Sigal said. As a clinician and researcher, he works with his colleagues at Scripps on providing clinical trials for patients, which can help develop new treatments for pancreatic cancer and also help the patients fight the disease. Sigal is part of a group of doctors from different medical disciplines at Scripps called the pancreas and bile duct cancer group. His colleagues include doctors Walt Coyle, Randy Schaffer, Jon Fisher, Warren Reidel and Ray Lin, along with nurse navigator Jane Williams. The group communicates daily by phone, text and email, and meets face-to-face monthly for roundtable discussions, to

help ensure that their pancreatic cancer patients follow the best course of treatment available. The developments in the battle against pancreatic cancer are fairly new; according to Sigal, as recently as two years ago, only two drugs were approved for treating the disease. Scripps doctors treat several hundred patients who have pancreatic cancer each year. The volume of patients makes Scripps a good candidate for clinical trials of potential new therapies, Sigal said. He also works with researchers at the Scripps Research Institute, who are conducting pre-clinical studies to examine the characteristics of pancreatic tumor cells with the aim of discovering new treatments. Outside the clinic, Sigal volunteers with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, giving educational talks to patients and their families. The group has also designated Scripps Clinic as a “center of excellence” for treatment of pancreatic cancer, because of the clinic’s patient volume and expertise regarding the disease. Through the clinical trials and new drugs recently available to treat pancreatic cancer, said Sigal, it is his observation that “patients are living longer and better lives.”

Interior process is focus of Del Mar artist’s outward work • Asta Sutton studied the unconscious workings of artistic creativity for her dissertation — and her own education BY KRISTINA HOUCK Paintings with vivid colors cover the walls of Asta Sutton’s Del Mar home. An abstract painter, Sutton has often put a paintbrush to canvas not knowing what she was going to create. Her painting process is what inspired her recently published dissertation, “Art and the Unconscious: A Semiotic Case Study of the Painting Process.” “Why do I paint these abstract paintings that are challenging to interpret, and what are these spontaneous images that come from my inner-world based upon?” she questions in the introduction. Sutton took a long road to finally earn her Ph.D. in art and design, and art education. Born in Sweden to Finnish parents, her family moved to Finland when she

Asta Sutton was still a baby. Undecided what to do after high school graduation, she traveled to Europe, Israel and Africa, including Egypt, Kenya and Somalia. Native African art, from face masks to sculptures, inspired her to pursue the arts.

“They were unique, simple and beautiful,” she recalled. “There was something in the art that I had never seen before.” When Sutton returned to Finland, she enrolled in Liminka Art School, a private art school, to learn the basics of art history, drawing, etching, painting and sculpting. In 1991, she began pursuing her master’s degree in art and design at Finland’s University of Lapland. That’s when she first began to study the painting process. “I wanted to know more,” she said. “What really happens when you paint?” Sutton briefly studied art, painting and printmaking in Canada from 1993 to 1994. As an exchange student at Lakehead University, she met her husband, now an engineer. When the couple returned to Finland, Sutton completed her studies, earning her degree in 1997. A year later, the pair relocated to the United States. Although Sutton established a career as an artist and entered a new chapter as a mother of two, she remained curious about the unconscious and how it affects an artist’s process — including her own. While working on her master’s thesis, she interviewed three artists, famous in Finland. “I was puzzled,” Sutton recalled. “They couldn’t explain their inspirations and intuitions.” Wanting to learn more, she returned to her studies in 2011, studying remotely at the University of Lapland, while taking additional

courses at UC San Diego. “I wanted to solve this big problem,” said Sutton, whose children are now 14 and 16 years old. “I was just so curious about this.” She set to out to solve this mystery, studying the unconscious in theory and in practice. Her goals were twofold: to create a model that could interpret an artist’s inspirations, and to inspire her own unconscious. Sutton researched the working methods of famed painters Salvador Dalí and Jackson Pollock, a surrealist and an abstract expressionist, respectively. She also used herself as a “guinea pig,” recording herself painting and analyzing her process. Doing so led to her to create a model of artistic interpretation that made it possible to outline Dalí and Pollock, as well as her own painting process. “This book helped me to realize I have to be hon-

began making annual rent payments to the city of about $900,000 per year. The payment for 2014 was $940,000, Wittert said. Cybele Thompson, director of real estate assets for the city of San Diego, said preliminary meetings have been held with the Bay Club Company, but nothing has been officially presented regarding the proposed lease transfer. She said city officials are familiar with Bay Club and its Carmel Valley facility, and that the company seems reputable. However, the city will need to review financial documents and a business plan before making its decision. Ultimately, the San Diego City Council will have to approve the lease transfer, a process that could take several months, she said. Terms of the proposed deal were not disclosed by the country club, and it was not clear whether Bay Club

est,” she said. “If I study the unconscious, and I do it subjectively, I cannot fake it. It has to be real, and I have to give of myself totally. “But when you do it, you really realize who you are.” Sutton defended her dissertation in October and received her Ph.D. in December. “Honest and receptive, you must let yourself sink into an abyss and collapse,” she explained. “Like a child, an artist must paint without inhibition or morality. Painting must not be disturbed by rational thinking because the unconscious is involved.” With a new outlook on her art, she looks forward to what’s next in her career. Sutton’s work has been exhibited internationally and is in a number of private collections in the U.S., Canada, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia and the UK. She has a piece on display at the Del Mar Art Center, where she is an active member and past president. “I love painting because of the freedom,” Sutton said. “It’s open. There’s so many possibilities.” With her dissertation published, she hopes artists and other creative minds find inspiration from it, as she did from her research. “I was lucky I didn’t give up,” Sutton said. “I found so many better ways to paint after studying this. It helped me paint better. I know it can help others.” To read Sutton’s published dissertation, visit http:// www.doria.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/100098/Sutton_ AstaE_155pdfA.pdf?sequence=2 To purchase a copy, visit www.ulapland.fi/lup.

Officials with the Bay Club Company could not be reached for comment by press time. Wittert said the club’s members decided to seek bids from interested purchasers after a study determined that in order to remain competitive in the country club market, the club would have to add family-friendly amenities, such as an expanded fitness center, a swimming pool and upgraded dining facilities. The proposed deal with Bay Club Company would position the country club to remain competitive into the future, Wittert said. “The members will benefit economically and will pay lower dues,” Wittert said. Golf members now pay

monthly dues of $1,234, while social members pay $410 per month. Initiation fees are $18,000 for golf members and $2,500 for social members. Members will enjoy new amenities and also be able to use the Bay Club Company’s other facilities, Wittert said. “I think it’s a very positive move for the country club,” he said. The parties have not worked out whether the club’s 90 full-time and 40 part-time employees will be able to stay on after the ownership transition, Wittert said. But regardless of the outcome of the sale, Wittert said, he plans to retire in March after a 12-year tenure with the country club. “My plan and my wife’s plan is for us both to retire at the same time and go on with other activities that we’ve saved for, and it’s time to put into motion,” he said.

Rady Children’s Hospital manager puts retirement on hold for return BY JOE TASH One year ago, Sue Cox retired from a 34-year career with Rady Children’s Hospital, where she had worked in a variety of positions, from a nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit to director of the trauma program. Today, she is back at the hospital, working as hard as ever, “which was not really the vision,” she conceded. But when her phone rang in August, and hospital officials asked her to return on an interim basis to manage the hematology/oncology unit, she said “yes.” “It would have been really easy to say, ‘No, thank you, I’m retired, find somebody else,” said Cox, who was 67 when she retired in January 2014. “But I passionately care about this place and the people in it.” So Cox went back to work after eight months of retirement, managing a unit that was new to her. The hospital wanted someone who was familiar to the organization to take the place of another manager who had resigned abruptly. After she took on the hematology/oncology assignment, officials later asked her to also serve as interim director of the hospital’s acute cardiac unit. The hospital is working to fill both managerial posts, and Cox has agreed to delay her retirement until permanent replacements are found. She said it wasn’t too difficult to go back to work because she hadn’t been out of the routine too long. “My car would automatically drive to Children’s whenever I headed west,” she said. Retirement for Cox didn’t mean slowing down. She volunteered as a delivery driver for Meals on Wheels, and as a “cuddler” at the Children’s intensive care unit. She also indulged in her hobby of quilting, traveled across Canada by train and cruised the Danube River in Europe with her husband of 46 years, Conrad Cox, a retired grocer. “I was having a great time,” she said. While she hopes to return to her volunteer work and

Sue Cox didn’t find it difficult to return to work after a short retirement: “My car would automatically drive to Children’s whenever I headed west.” travel in the near future, for now she’s committed to managing the two units at Children’s. Cox, who has worked her entire professional career at Children’s, entered nursing after a stint in the U.S. Air Force right out of high school. She comes from a long line of nurses, including her mother and aunts on both sides of her family. After leaving the military, she and her husband

moved to San Diego and she attended nursing school at San Diego State University, where she earned a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Among the accomplishments she is proudest of, said Cox, is her work to help establish the pediatric trauma system in San Diego, and also her role with a federal team that responds to emergencies. She and her fellow disaster team members become federal employees when the team is activated, which it has been for such incidents as the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Cox remains the team’s chief nurse, and is available to serve if needed. Satisfying as it has been to serve as an administrator and mentor at Children’s, Cox said, she has found it equally rewarding to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. She recalled being approached by a

man after speaking about the trauma program at a Lions Club meeting in East County. The man said she had helped care for his son, who had been badly injured in a car accident decades earlier. The boy had grown up to become a psychologist and live a happy, healthy life, the man told Cox. When she returned to the hospital, she showed a photo of the now-grown-up boy to a doctor who had also cared for the young accident victim. “Both of us felt so good about that,” she said. Cox, who has three grown children, said her husband wasn’t too surprised with her decision to put off her retirement for a bit longer. “He was fine with it,” she said. “He’s been very supportive of me no matter what I wanted to do in my life. We complement each other very well.”

Foundation working to bring ‘Shark Tank’-style business classes to district BY KAREN BILLING It wasn’t just business as usual at Sage Canyon School in December, when kids played CEOs and gave presentations about start-up costs and profits for their unique inventions and ideas in front of a room full of potential investors. The presentations were the culmination of a new business-themed class for sixth-grade students, piloted by Sage Canyon this fall. The class, designed to introduce students to entrepreneurship, financial education and business planning, was co-taught by Paris Esmaili, Sage Canyon’s ESC technology teacher, with help from Joshua Barker, the branch manager of Wells Fargo in Torrey Hills. The class is modeled after the “Shark Tank” TV show. Students work in groups of three (CEO, CFO and marketing VP) to create a business plan and make a pitch to investors. The “investors” on Dec.

Esmaili decided to invest in the company Try It, created by the team of Sabrina, Natasha and Kylie.

Barker chose to invest in We Bring Your Game to Life, a custom board game company created by Jacob, Chayan and Andrew.

On Dec. 15, the students’ creative pitches included Coffee Carz, a business that delivers fresh-made coffee to people at the click of a button, and Candy Copter, a “new take on the piñata” that can “make children’s dream come true” by raining candy out of two pouches on the sides of a hand-generated helicopter. Other ideas included a rotating theme buffet restaurant called the Switcheroo Buffet and a babysitting/tutoring combo business.

Las Madrinas honors local debutante at holiday ball During the holiday season, Las Madrinas honored 31 Southern California families and their daughters for their service to the Southern California community and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Los Angeles at the annual Las Madrinas Ball at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. More than 800 guests from the greater Los Angeles area gathered to celebrate. Among the debutantes was Claire Monahan Neville (pictured), daughter of Stephanie Hadfield Neville and Peter Martin Neville of Solana Beach. Since 1939, Las Madrinas has honored families for their commitment to the civic, cultural, and philanthropic life of Southern California by presenting their daughters at the annual Las Madrinas Ball. Donations made in honor of the young women, with the annual support of Las Madrinas members and friends, have enabled Las Madrinas to complete eight major projects at the hospital since 1988.

Friends of Del Mar Library seeks new board members BY KRISTINA HOUCK When the Del Mar Library celebrated its centennial along with the 100-year anniversary of its building in November, the Friends of the Del Mar Library were there to mark the occasion. After all, if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the Friends, the local branch might not be housed in the historical building where it is today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having this unique, historical building as the library is our biggest accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? said Board President Pat Freeman. The Del Mar Library was established in 1914. That same year, just a few blocks away, St. James Catholic Church opened its doors. After the library had been headquartered in several spots, from storefronts to the trailer behind City Hall, and the church had long relocated to Solana Beach, the city bought the building for $1.2 million in February 1994 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with support from the community and the Friends of the Del Mar Library. The library officially opened its new doors in October 1996.

Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like any other library. It just fits this community.â&#x20AC;? From helping the library find a permanent home, to raising funds for the branch, the Friends have supported the library since their founding in 1982. Local resident Catherine Stoll launched the Friends of the Del Mar Library, becoming the first board president, establishing its nonprofit status, and organizing the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual book sale, which was initially held on the patio in front of City Hall. The book sale would raise $2,000 to $2,500 each year, recalled Freeman, a founding board member. Today, the Friends of the Del Mar Library continue to support the library by selling books. Instead of an annual organized book sale, however, the organization holds an ongo-

ing sale at the branch, bringing in $200 to $300 each month, Freeman said. In addition to book sales, the Friends hold an annual membership drive, with new and renewing members donating $35 to $1,000 in support of the Friends and the library. Over the years, the Friends have helped fund the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various transformations. There used to be an open patio on the south side of the building. When the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof needed to be replaced, library officials decided to also enclose the patio. Since the project was completed in 2009, the Community Room has been used for a variety of activities, from baby yoga and Zumba classes, to bridge and Friends of the Del Mar Library meetings. The library was also refurbished in the past two years. The library installed a new service desk, a laptop bar, mobile shelving units and new carpet. It also purchased new chairs and tables for the roughly 5,000-square-foot branch. The renovation project was a joint effort among the county, city and the Friends of the Del Mar Library. Besides helping fund projects, money goes toward maintaining the library, including its newspaper and magazine subscriptions, as well as some book purchases. But more than just fundraising, the Friends are there to represent community, encouraging the city and the county to support the branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage the county and the city to spend tax money on our library,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have this building if we

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lobby the city to buy it. You have to let them know, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is very important to me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how things get done in Del Mar,â&#x20AC;? she added, pointing to how the community backs projects it supports, such as Del Mar Shores Park and the Powerhouse Community Center. With major projects complete, Freeman said new board members are needed to bring new ideas to the table. The board has seven members, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had as many as 10 in the past. The board will be down to six when its secretary moves in the spring. The average age is 65, so Freeman is also hoping to recruit younger volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need people skills and you need to listen to all kinds of ideas,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, you need to love libraries.â&#x20AC;? Prospective board members are encouraged to contact Freeman at board@friendsofdelmarlibrary.org. They may also leave their contact information with Branch Manager Polly Cipparrone or other staff at the library. Those interested in applying may also attend the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next meeting at 5 p.m. Feb. 4 in the Community Room at the Del Mar Library. Board meetings take place at 5 p.m. on the first Wednesday of even months and are public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about giving back to your community,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how much satisfaction you get being able to do that.â&#x20AC;?

RSF home chosen for Dream House Raffle to benefit Ronald McDonald House BY KAREN BILLING For the 11th year, a dream home in San Diego will be raffled off to support children and their families at San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ronald McDonald House. The home of choice this year is a scenic retreat in Rancho Santa Fe, the largest the Ronald McDonald House Charities has ever featured. The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom custom home sits high atop a ridge on 2.4 acres with a panoramic mountain view that stretches out to the ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The homeowners making this available to us is a gift,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck Day, president and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego who is tasked with touring enviable estates on the market to feature in their annual raffle. With more than 1,300 prizes available in the Dream House Raffle, participants have a one in 50 chance of winning. Prizes include luxury vehicles such as an Audi A6 or Mercedes Benz C350 Coupe; vacations to destinations like Switzerland, Monte Carlo and Hawaii; Apple laptop, 15 GOPRO cameras, diamond necklaces, pearl earrings and more. The grand prize raffle will be held on May 16 and ticket purchasers who enter early will have the added opportunity to win through bonus, early bird drawings. Participants can save by buying tickets in bulk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a package of three tickets costs $400 and a pack of five costs $550. An order of three or more serves as entry into a drawing for a 2015 Porsche Boxster Convertible or $50,000 cash. The winner of the grand prize can choose between the dream home or $2.1 million in cash if Ronald McDonald House meets its ticket threshold. In the past 10 years, the ticket threshold has been met three times: one winner has taken the house, the other two have taken the money. If the winner does take the cash, the home goes back to the seller, having enjoyed five months of marketing as a dream house. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raffle brought in more than $3 million and was the most successful in terms of the number of tickets sold and money raised, Day said. The Ronald McDonald House Charities relies on the fundraiser and other philanthropic donations to operate this â&#x20AC;&#x153;home away from homeâ&#x20AC;? for families with children being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions at local hospitals. The Ronald McDonald House of San Diego was founded in 1980, opening with just eight rooms. The house just celebrated the five-year anniversary of its expansion, in which it grew to 47 rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were full then and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been full every day since;

(Right) Chuck Day, seen here in the Dream House that will be raffled, is president and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. (Left) The homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pool area. More photos at: www.rsfreview.com PHOTOS BY JON CLARK thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the challenge as we face the future,â&#x20AC;? Day said. The San Diego facility is unique in its 65,000-square-foot size, which puts it in the top 15 percent of the 350 Ronald McDonald Houses around the world. The house includes outdoor courtyards and play spaces for children and a Family Care Center to provide services for families who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t living there, such as meals, a computer lounge and play activity rooms for siblings. Between the rooms and those additional services, the group reaches 12,500 family members a year. In addition to its size, San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is also unusual in that it is located directly across the street from Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, â&#x20AC;&#x153;300 steps from the hospital bedside.â&#x20AC;? Because the house is uniquely situated near the highly specialized care offered at Radyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and nearby Scripps Proton Therapy Center, the first in the country to treat patients with pencil-beam scanning, the Ronald McDonald House of San Diego

sees longer stays and kids who are facing more serious illnesses and injuries. The average length of stay at the house is 15 days, but Day said many people end up staying much longer. One family has been with them for six months and they are expecting to stay five to seven months more. Those long stays and the full rooms make it even more important that the house be a comfortable, welcoming home for families, helped along by the Dream House Raffle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This [Dream House] is just absolutely stunning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day you get to hang out at a 7,050-square-foot house,â&#x20AC;? said Day, drinking in the hilltop homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast view of mountains, canyon and ocean over the disappearing lip of an infinity pool in the backyard. The grand prize home is accessed through a dramatic entry with a courtyard and fountain, and a hillside that blooms with yellow flowers. Downstairs, a hall filled with natural

sunlight links a spacious master chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen, a living room space with two warming fireplaces, a wine cellar, a dining room that doubles as a library with its walls lined with bookshelves and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;second master suiteâ&#x20AC;? that in any other home would suffice as the first master suite with its large bathroom, office and walk-in closet. Upstairs, each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the luxurious master suite has ocean views from the bedroom, office, bathroom and private deck. Across the courtyard with its two garages is a guest house that could also serve as an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet retreat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This really is a home and it feels like a home,â&#x20AC;? Day said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite everyone to take part in the dream.â&#x20AC;? Tickets can be purchased by calling 888-824-9939 or submitting a raffle order entry form via mail, fax or in-person at the Ronald McDonald House. Order forms and ticket information are available at SDraffle.com.

Rancho Coastal Humane Society truck destroyed by fire; publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help sought

LIVE, LI I VE, LA LAUGH, AUGH, LE LEARN EARN an and nd P PRAY RA AY

A leak in a pickup truck owned by the Rancho Coastal Humane Society started with a few drops of gasoline and ended in a blaze that destroyed the vehicle. The fire occurred late Jan. 4, near the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas. Now shelter officials are asking the public for help. The fire began during maintenance to determine the source of the gasoline leak. As the mechanic worked, some of the gas dripped onto his pants legs. A spark ignited near his feet, A leak in a pickup truck owned by the Rancho Coastal setting his pants on fire. He Humane Society started with a few drops of gasoline stepped away from the truck and ended in a blaze that destroyed the vehicle. to put out the fire on his pants. When he turned around, the blaze had begun to engulf the truck. RCHS President Jim Silveira said that the truck had recently undergone numerous repairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was getting old. There were some fluid leaks. A problem with the ignition frequently left us with a dead battery. For the most part, they were normal repairs for a truck that had a lot of miles on it. They were all inconveniences, but nothing dangerous for our animals or staff members.â&#x20AC;? The truck was a 2002 GMC with a crew cab and extended bed. Silveira said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;An animal shelter truck gets a lot of use. One day it might transport a litter of puppies or kittens. The next day it could be hauling hay in the morning and pulling a pet evacuation trailer into a fire zone in the afternoon. We were afraid that the truck was approaching its expiration date. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question. We need to replace it.â&#x20AC;? The replacement doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be an exact match, but it does need the same capabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a person or a business has a used truck that they can donate, that would be terrific. If not, RCHS is accepting donations to buy a replacement. We rely on our shelter truck every day. So the sooner we can replace it, the better.â&#x20AC;?

The Sharks were directed by Coach Roy Ashcroft. The boys had an exciting time defending their title from last year and were undefeated over the entire weekend. It was a challenging tournament, with a final showdown between the top two teams, which had met in the first round. The Sharks took the lead early and went to halftime up 3-0. The second half was very physical back-and-forth play, with Hemet Juventus battling to get back into the game. Juventus had several strong opportunities and converting on a free kick. The Sharks held on to close out the game 3-1. This is the third win in the past year for the boys at the Arsenal tournaments.

For TPHS basketball star Timmy Saunders, athleticism runs in the family BY ROB LEDONNE On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Torrey Pines High School senior Timmy Saunders had a brief break between his final class of the day and basketball practice with a group of teammates he’s played with since around the fifth grade. “We definitely know how to play well together,” Saunders explained from his home in Del Mar. “We’re very close.” It’s that camaraderie that has led the Torrey Pines Varsity Basketball team to an impressive season that included a hot streak of 10 wins as 2014 drew to a close. “We’re winning a lot of games and getting a lot of press for it,” said Saunders of the team’s recent fortunes. “It’s been fun. (Torrey Pines Basketball) Coach John Olive is probably the best coach in San Diego, and he knows how to get us ready for every game. He has great plans and strategies.” For Saunders, success on the court was “a long time coming.” While a freshman at Torrey Pines, he didn’t make the cut for the Junior Varsity team, an upset that separated Saunders from his fellow teammates. By his sophomore year, however, Saunders not only made that JV team, but leapfrogged into Varsity. Leading into his junior year, Saunders didn’t make much of a splash either. “I was in the seven-man rotation but didn’t do anything significant,” he noted. “This year, however, I’ve embraced the role of a leader.” Saunder’s leadership skills blossomed during this senior year and pushed him to the forefront of the already stacked team. “This is something I never thought would happen and it’s finally happening,” he said of his athletic metamorphosis. “All of the hard work’s paying off, and it’s good to finally see it come together. It’s an honor to finally be in the conversation, at least.” It stands to reason that the determination to succeed is

in Saunders’ genes. His father, Dave, is a former UCLA men’s volleyball star who competed in the sport for two consecutive Olympics (1984 in Los Angeles and 1988 in Seoul), winning gold for the United States each time. “My father is definitely proud of everything I’ve accomplished,” Saunders said. “He always told me to follow my passion, and even though my sister was a dancer and my brother is a musician, there was no pressure for me to pursue volleyball.” That didn’t stop Saunders from joining the Torrey Pines Men’s Volleyball team, excelling at that sport as well. “I got into basketball first, though,” he said. “I didn’t pick up volleyball until high school.” With the end of Torrey’s basketball season looming (regular season games are scheduled through February), Saunders is starting to set his sights on the future. “I’m talking to some Division 2 and 3 schools,” he said of his basketball career after high school, which includes the possibility of playing for the University of Puget Sound, Seattle Pacific, or Pomona College. “It’ll be tough going away and not playing with my core group, though. I’ve been with them my whole life, so I’ll have to adjust.” For now, Saunders is trying to take all of his recent success and notoriety — which includes winning the Coach’s Award, being named on U-T San Diego’s All-Academic Team, and getting the All Tournament Award at Torrey Pines’ recent Under Armor Holiday Classic — in stride. “The main thing is that our team is full of great guys and great players,” he explained before heading off to that Tuesday afternoon practice. “That’s the thing about Torrey. We’re deep, wellcoached, well-disciplined, and we execute. That’s what you need to win.”

The Falcons defeated Mission Vista (Oceanside) High, 55-15 on Jan. 3, and ran their record to 3-0 by beating Poway, 36-0 on Jan. 10. Five different players scored for Torrey Pines against Poway, with center Toran Raby having a break-away run late in the second half to set up the final try by forward Jeronimo Ramirez, who used a surprising burst of speed to outflank the Titan defense.

Record number of applications submitted to UC San Diego UC San Diego has received a record 94,200 freshman and transfer applications for fall 2015. The university had the third highest number of applicants among the University of California campuses. Within the past decade, UC San Diego has consistently been one of the nation’s top five universities to receive the most applications. UC San Diego received 78,056 freshman applications for fall 2015, up 6.4 percent from last year. Transfer student applications increased by 2.1 percent from 2014, with a total of 16,144 transfer students applying for admission. The mean high school grade point average (GPA) for freshmen is 3.80; and the average SAT Reasoning scores are 599, 647 and 613 respectively for Critical Reading, Math and Writing (up slightly from last year’s applicant SAT scores, which were 591, 644 and 607). The average GPA among transfer applicants was 3.37.

“UC San Diego continues to attract the best and the brightest because of its reputation as one of the top ranked universities in the world, as well as its accessibility and affordability,” said UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “Year after year, the academic quality and talent of UC San Diego’s applicants is impressive and inspiring.” UC San Diego continued to see an increase in diversity among student applicants. At the freshman level, the campus had a 7.9 percent rise of historically underrepresented students for fall 2015, with the largest increase coming from African-American high school seniors (up 13.5 percent compared with last year), followed by Mexican-American (up 7.1 percent) and Latino (up 7 percent) applicants. “This campus is committed to ensuring students of all backgrounds have access to a UC San Diego education,” said Juan González, vice chancellor for student affairs. “More

than half of our students receive financial aid, and across the University of California, more than half of all California resident undergraduates continue to pay no systemwide tuition or fees.” González added that UC San Diego students continue to graduate with lower than the national average student debt. Nearly 90 percent of transfer applicants are from California community colleges. This year, UC San Diego had a record number of resident freshmen apply for admission, with the largest number coming from Los Angeles (27,273 or 34.9 percent) which was followed by San Francisco (13,216 or 16.9 percent). The most popular majors chosen by freshman applicants are in social sciences, engineering and biology. Almost See APPLICATIONS, page 28

City Hall, budget input important for new year

BY DEL MAR MAYOR AL CORTI As your newly appointed Mayor, I am looking forward to working with my fellow council members and our Citizens Advisory Committees to determine and implement the city’s priorities for the residents, business owners and visitors of Del Mar. I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you my thoughts on what I feel are priorities for Del Mar and welcome your thoughts and comments. My primary focus will be to build a new City Hall/ Town Hall. The city has been working on this project in a variety of capacities since 1990. The current facility is dilapidated and an embarrassment. The time to build a new City Hall/Town Hall is now! Your active citizen participation over the last 18 months has assisted us in planning the new City Hall in many respects. The location for the new City Hall has been decided to be developed on the existing City Hall property. The financial feasibility is complete, and it has been determined that we have the ability to pay for it with a combination of reserve funds and financing capacity without raising any new taxes. The city of Del Mar has an excellent credit rating and currently has the ability to borrow funds for this project at an interest rate in the low 3 percent range. I think we need to capitalize on this opportunity as soon as possible. We are currently working on polling our residents, asking whether they want additional parking as an initial component of the City Hall development and whether we should plan for the flexibility to add future uses of public and/or private uses in the longer term. I have publicly stated on many occasions that I am in favor of both ideas. Now it is your turn to weigh in and

Al Corti Del Mar Mayor help us direct the effort. I am optimistic that with this information from the Del Mar electorate in February, we can move forward with design and break ground on a new City Hall in 2015/2016. This year also marks the beginning of a new budget cycle for Del Mar. We will be preparing to adopt the Fiscal Years 2015/16 and 2016/17 Operating and Capital Budget in June. We have recently engaged citizen advisory boards, commissions, and committees to provide their input to the City Council on suggestions for short (twoyear horizon), mid-term (two- to five-year horizon), and long-term (five to 20 years) goals that they think the City should prioritize. Your comments and suggestions in this regard are also very important to me, and I welcome your thoughts at the public meetings that will be held in February to discuss the City priorities and budget process. In addition to this input, we’re looking forward to receiving the results of the recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey. Our goal will be to continue to direct the city’s financial resources to ensure full funding of reserves, funding capital projects that first and foremost satisfy the needs of Del Mar, and then hopefully to fulfill some of the longer-term objectives that we desire as a community.

The council and I also want to continue to implement the city’s strategic goal to provide leadership to influence decisions that impact our local and regional community. We can do this through enhancing the city’s relationship with the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which comprises almost 20 percent of the land base in Del Mar. We want Del Mar, Solana Beach, and the Fairgrounds to work together to ensure we can address local impacts from this valuable regional asset and determine the fair mechanism to pay for them. The City Council will also continue to enhance how we communicate and engage the community through a variety of communication methods. As you know, last spring we launched a new website. And we’re getting ready to launch an online service that will allow you to provide your comments and ideas on major projects, all from the comfort of your living room. I encourage you to sign up on the city’s website for updates on topics that are important to you and follow the city’s social media accounts. Finally, I’m excited to work with the City Council and staff to implement our Capital Improvement Projects and major initiatives planned for 2015: new City Hall, the sidewalk, street and drainage improvements along Jimmy Durante Boulevard, consideration of downtown parking management strategies, identifying the future of the Shores Park, and building a pipeline to divert wastewater to the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority. This is an exciting time in Del Mar and I am happy to serve as your Mayor this coming year. I look forward to your continued active participation as we work together to accomplish our city’s goals.

Bicyclist’s behavior was downright dangerous A couple of days ago as I was driving north along 101 through Del Mar, I witnessed the most dangerous behavior by a bicyclist ever. I had had to move partly into the inside lane to pass the male bicyclist, before getting to 9th Street, as he was wavering in and out of the bicycle lane. When I got to 12th Street, I saw a female pushing the Walk button, so stopped at the line. The vehicle to my left stopped ahead of me, but before the blinking crosswalk. By this time there were three people clumped in the blinking crosswalk. All of a sudden, this same guy, at full speed, went between my car and the one on the left, swerved 1 foot in front of those in the crosswalk, and continued on his way. He never missed a beat. He could have killed one of those people, legally crossing, if he had hit them and they had fallen and hit their heads. This male bicyclist needs to study the rules and responsibilities for bicycle riders. His dangerous, arrogant, selfish behavior is appalling! Linda Deftos

The ‘myth’ of One Paseo I recently received a mailer from the “WhatPriceMainStreet” group highlighting the “Myths” vs. “Facts” of the One Paseo project. What caught my eye was the use of the term “myth” to describe a falsehood or a lie. More traditionally, a “myth” is defined as a story or narrative to help explain an ancient culture’s relationship to the world. So in exploring this more expansive perspective on the subject of myth, it begs the question of what mythic story will be told to our future generations of the One Paseo saga and of the image of Carmel Valley? Will Carmel Valley be defined as a safe, clean, yet generally benign bedroom community to the megalopolis of San Diego? Or will our community be described as having all these great attributes, plus having its own core identity and vibrant heart for the community? “Facts” can be manipulated just as easily as “myths,” and I offer the following facts as I’ve tracked the planning process for One Paseo. Fact: The Carmel Valley Planning Board (CVPB) rejected Kilroy’s proposal but did recommend approval of a smaller version of a mixed-use project. Kilroy elected to not change the design based on the CVPB recommendation and took their project as-is to the Planning Commission. Fact: The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the One Paseo project with a stipulation that the density be reduced by lowering building heights to be more in keeping with surrounding buildings. It remains to be seen whether Kilroy has or will modify the proposal based on the Planning Commission recommendation as we move toward a Jan. 27 City Council hearing. My hope is that the council follows the recommendations of the CVPB and Planning Commission. None of the “facts” noted above are reflected in the “WhatPrice” literature, which leads me to conclude that the “WhatPriceMainStreet” group is a “Just Say No” group handsomely funded by Donahue-Schriber, the owners of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center (who certainly don‘t want competition!). If “WhatPrice” gets its way, One Paseo will likely turn out to be a major office-only development where traffic will be just as bad because the housing will have been built further out on Del Mar Heights Road rather than integrated into a mixed-use, lifestyle-oriented town center not reliant on the automobile to get from home to work to shopping. A last note on myth: There is an old Native American (Iroquois) mythic story of the “Seventh Generation” that tells of Councils of Elders who made their decisions not only on what affected the immediate populace, but also on what would be in the best interest and well-being of future generations to come. Our City Council will be well served to hold that same wisdom and insight when bringing forth a final decision on One Paseo.

Education Matters/Opinion Charlie is the wor(l)d BY MARSHA SUTTON JE SUIS CHARLIE. Just as after 9/11, when civilized people around the globe pro- Marsha Sutton claimed they are all American, today we proclaim we are all French. Because what happened last week was an attack on the most fundamental of principles embraced by every democracy on earth. The world stands united against the scourge of barbarism and terrorism that seeks to silence values democracies hold most sacred: freedom of speech and a free press. Democracy without freedom of speech and a free press cannot be. Je Suis Charlie. The murderous rampage in Paris has shown that the vile intolerance that defines radical Islamic fundamentalism goes well beyond ridding the world of Israel and so-called American imperialism. This is not a war against Americans or Jews; this is a war waged against democracy. This is a war against the basic needs every human longs for and deserves — freedom to worship peacefully as one pleases, to speak freely, to gather together in nonviolent assembly, to be granted equal rights and equal opportunity, to live free from the chains of oppression under an open, secular government. Je Suis Charlie. The Paris massacres (both of them) have mobilized millions around the world who stand unafraid in the face of such cold-blooded atrocity. Instead of scaring people, the killers have created strength and unity of purpose and fortified resistance to such evil. Those who, in the name of religion, slaughtered innocent journalists and cartoonists (cartoonists!) will pay a heavy price for their intolerance. They have changed world opinion and united nations, peoples and ideals. We fight as one now, against this malignant extremist ideology. This must be a seismic shift, a tipping point when outrage over religious fanaticism at last becomes personal. These are global issues with massive implications for the world’s democracies. And yet, these universal principles filter down to every corner of the world —

including ours. Although it is hubris to suggest that community newspapers have the same influence as national magazines, the ramifications are chilling nonetheless. What happens to us if people are not permitted to speak out at community planning board or school board meetings? What happens to the person who braves the authorities and asks how public money is being spent? What happens if someone is not allowed to question school district policies, voting regulations or local ordinances? What happens to all of us if each person must think carefully about whether they are willing to subject themselves to punishment should their words at a public meeting or in a letter to the editor cause them personal harm? Our democratic values mean nothing if journalists are not permitted to cover the news, hold governments accountable, and probe into laws, policies and trends that may offend the powerful. If fear of retribution for exercising our right to free speech becomes real, the Paris horror touches each of us deeply. That’s why so many have awakened to the threat before us. I have wished many times that my editor (bless her heart) would have censored critics of mine over the years who submitted letters to this newspaper with outrageous accusations against me, for expressing opinions they objected to. But if I start down that road, where does it lead? If I have the right to express my opinions freely, aren’t others also allowed that right? Je Suis Charlie. Charlie Brown The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo took its name from the “Peanuts” cartoon strip character “Charlie Brown.” The goal was to poke fun, to laugh at extremists, to mock repressive ideologies. Today, Lucy would hold that football steady for Charlie Brown and he would kick it a mile. Instead of destroying Charlie Hebdo, the terrorists made it stronger. They may have killed people, but they can never kill righteous ideals. After the carnage at Charlie Hebdo, the murderers reportedly yelled, “The prophet is avenged.” So the Muslim prophet cannot tolerate cartoon

drawings, but mass murder is OK? Sidetracking a bit here, the mainstream media could be more judicious in the terminology they use to report these stories. So often “the Prophet Muhammad” is written without quotes. Is it not more objective to say “Islam’s prophet Muhammad”? Or “the Muslim prophet Muhammad”? When a reporter on network television said that Al Qaeda had “taken credit” for the massacre, it was a poor choice of words. Taken credit? How about “taken the blame”? Or at least “taken responsibility.” Being politically correct can sometimes go too far. Voltaire The 18th-century French Enlightenment philosopher and writer, Voltaire, is remembered for his satire, wit and fierce advocacy of freedom of expression and separation of church and state. Voltaire was famously, and somewhat inaccurately, credited (in this case, “credit” is the appropriate word) with saying, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Although it’s now accepted that the sentence was written by Voltaire’s biographer, Evelyn Beatrice Hall, she said at the time that it exemplified Voltaire’s strongest beliefs. Je Suis Charlie. After the murders at Charlie Hebdo, a number of prominent writers issued a statement, according to TIME online, which read in part, “We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.” Je Suis Charlie — the rallying cry of all individuals across the globe who denounce religious fanaticism, declare they are not afraid, and pronounce their determination to stand up and defend humanity’s basic right to freedom of speech and self-expression. For what are we without that? Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. We are all French today. Je Suis Charlie. Are you? Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Learn more about the force of beach-city politics at Jan. 22 event BY GORDON CLANTON All politics is local, but small-city politics is hyperlocal. The city councils of Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Del Mar make important decisions that influence the quality of life for their residents and visitors, and for North County more generally. Council members from these cities sit on SANDAG and other regional boards and agencies that affect our daily quality of life. And yet, many citizens who pay attention to national, statewide, and countywide politics have relatively little interest in small-city politics. Del Mar (by the sea) was incorporated in 1958, Solana Beach (sunshine beach) and Encinitas (little oaks) in 1986. The new city of Encinitas included the adjacent communities of Leucadia, Olivenhain, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea as well as “New Encinitas,” which includes the no-planning disaster that is the El Camino Real commercial strip. In each case, incorporation gave local people and their representatives author-

ity over land-use decisions that previously lay with the county Board of Supervisors, five folks, easily swayed by developers’ money and meeting 25 miles away. In Solana Beach and Encinitas, incorporation finally was supported by a majority of voters because the Board of Supervisors had made so many bad choices for these communities in the 1970s. Don’t get me started. A great opportunity to learn more about municipal government in the beach cities will be offered by the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club at its Jan. 22 meeting featuring an extraordinary panel of local council members: Lisa Shaffer and Tony Kranz from Encinitas, Mayor

Lesa Heebner and Councilman Mike Nichols from Solana Beach, and Deputy Mayor of Del Mar Sherryl Parks and former Mayor Lee Haydu. These leaders will discuss the problems these communities face and the political process through which problems are engaged. Panelists will explore the political complexities of nominally nonpartisan local government and suggest opportunities for civic engagement. Ample time will be devoted to questions from the audience, and an opportunity will be provided to meet and socialize with the council members. The event will be held Thursday, Jan. 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. RSVP to rsfdem.org. The cost is $15 for members, $25 for guests. Questions: 858-759-2620. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu. edu.

OBITUARIES

Scott Billington 1959 – 2015 The community of Solana Beach has lost one of its own. Scott Billington passed away on January 10, 2015, after a long battle with cancer. He was 55 years old. He is survived by his wife, Jessica; his daughter, Reese; and his son, John. Scott was a tireless supporter of his community. Among others, his stint as President of the Solana Beach Soccer Club and work for the Solana Beach Schools Foundation fundraising events earned him the title

as the unofﬁcial “Mayor” of Solana Beach. Many residents were honored to call him a friend. His genuine interest in others made everyone feel special when around him. It was expected, then, that when in need of advice or just a kind word of support, many turned to Scott. Local children knew him for having the loudest whistle on the ball ﬁeld and for having the kindest heart around. To many, they have lost their “second” dad. Scott’s love for his community was returned tenfold when he became ill. The upwelling of support from so many people was living proof of just how special this place is. His battle with cancer was unbearable at times, but the support from the community eased that burden immensely. For that, our family will forever be grateful. Over his too-short life, Scott graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy; served in Operations Desert Shield

and Desert Storm; earned a Commander rank in the Naval Air Reserves; was a Captain for Delta Airlines; and was a respected real estate agent in North County. But despite all that, Scott’s three greatest jobs, and the ones he was most proud of, were his roles as a Husband, a Father and a Friend. He was honored to be a member of this community. And he will be missed. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, January 19, 2015, at 10am at St. James Catholic Church. A burial with military honors will follow at 1pm at Miramar National Cemetery.

the site, which is the “gateway” or north entrance to the city. “This piece of land was one of the main reasons for our city to become a city,” said Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, who was among dozens of residents and officials at the Jan. 13 naming ceremony, including Supervisor Dave Roberts and former Encinitas Mayor Teresa Barth. “One of the reasons we incorporated was so that we would have determination over our own fate, what happened on our land.” When the land eventually fell into foreclosure, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy acquired it in December 2011 for $3.75 million in loans from community members. The organization has been working to pay off the debt ever since. The $1.15 million donation from the George and Betty Harbaugh Charitable Foundation, as well as a $500,000 donation from the original lenders, pushes the organization toward the end of its goal, leaving it with a remaining balance of $422,000. “Right now, this site is secure; it will never be developed,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist with the conservancy, which aims to protect and restore the resources of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, its watershed and related ecosystems. “We have enough in our pots to save it.” Joe Balla, director of the Harbaugh foundation, said he was proud to honor George and Betty Harbaugh with the donation. The Harbaughs were lifelong San Diegans who loved nature and wildlife, Balla said. When his wife died, George Harbaugh created the foundation to ensure the family estate would be invested to better the lives of others. They died without heirs. “They would have loved everything

that this property and its vision for the future stand for,” Balla said. “I’m eternally blessed, I’m eternally grateful to have this opportunity at long last to have a role in liberating this property from development,” he added. Added Heebner, “All of our residents have been very passionate about this site. And every time there was a development, they came out in droves. “It’s not that we’re against development in Solana Beach,” she said. “We’re for appropriate development. People realize what’s on this space now — open space — is what should be here. This is what’s appropriate.” Heebner praised longtime Solana Beach resident Gerri Retman-Opper, who played a critical role in the successful effort to preserve the property. She also thanked resident Gary Martin for his contributions. “When people work together we can truly take vision and make it a reality,” said Roberts. “That’s really what we’re seeing here today.” In November, the Solana Beach City Council accepted the Gateway property as a conservation easement from the conservancy, forever protecting the parcel as open space. It was announced then that the conservancy plans restore the site to its natural condition, and then maintain the property as open space and natural habitat for native vegetation and wildlife. Future plans for the parcel also include trails, a viewing deck and an entry monument recognizing those who donated $2,500 or more. “It’s a dream come true,” Retman-Opper said. “I’m beyond happy when I think about the generations of people who will come this site and see this incredible view.”

said the city should be creating a citywide parking management plan, not focusing on one segment of the community at a time. “I’m much in favor of an overriding citywide plan,” said Corti. “I’m not in favor of taking this in bits and pieces. I think it needs to be an overriding plan that fits for the entire community.” Council members also agreed the local business community needs to play an active part in resolving the parking problems. Corti pointed out that the two largest employers in the community, the Del Mar Plaza and L’Auberge Del Mar, do not have representatives on the city’s Business Support Advisory Committee. “I’m willing to walk hand in hand, but I’m not excited to walk alone if the business community’s just expecting us, at taxpayer expense, to solve their employee and customer parking problems,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. After much discussion, the council appointed Worden and Terry Sinnott as an ad hoc committee. The pair will analyze behavioral groups (employees, customers, recreational users and residents), review the plan and work with the staff, reporting back to the full council within 30 days. “The problems that we have are pretty straightforward,” said City Manager Scott Huth. “They’ve been the same problems in the community. They’re these groups. We know what they are. The reasons why they’re still a problem is commitment of resources. If we’re going to make a change, we have to commit resources.” “Let’s do something,” Corti said. “Make it a priority. We haven’t made it a priority. We haven’t done anything about it.”

easier for some residents to attend. Kilroy spokeswoman Rachel Laing said the developer received no warning that the City Council was going to postpone the vote. “Obviously, we’re extremely disappointed in the delay,” she said. “We were ready to go. We believe it was an unnecessary delay, and if the council president wanted to change the venue, she could have decided to move it sooner.” A vocal faction of residents strongly opposes the development, saying it will worsen traffic problems in the area. They also say the mix of shops, condos and office space in 150-foot buildings strays too far from the original community development plan and doesn’t

tion,” said Councilman Don Mosier, adding that the city should tackle Del Mar’s most “severe” parking problem — employee parking. He suggested encouraging employees to use a rideshare program or establishing a shuttle service, among other possibilities. “The one thing that’s essential is, we don’t do strategies that drive more parking to residential areas,” Mosier said. “We don’t want that spillover parking problem to get worse. We’ve got to take steps to make that problem better.” Del Mar has initiated numerous parking studies over the past 14 years. At the direction of the council, staff started this latest study about 18 months ago, dividing the city into five geographic areas: downtown commercial area, beach colony area, fairgrounds and north commercial area, hillside area, and the area south of 10th Street and west of Camino del Mar. Focusing first on the downtown commercial area, staff found a lack of accessible and convenient parking in the commercial corridor, a surplus of private off-street parking, and an impact on neighboring residential areas — all problems detailed in previous reports. The study also found that the area has a total of 1,875 parking spaces, including 691 on-street spaces and 1,184 off-street spaces. Approximately 500 off-street parking spaces are underused during peak demand periods, but the city has little control over these spaces because they are privately owned, according to the report. The plan estimates that the city needs about 140 additional parking spaces for local employees and customers, as well as a minimum of 50 in-lieu parking spaces, for a total of 200 spaces in the area. To meet that demand, Mayor Al Corti

match the character of the suburban community. Others support the project, citing a shortage of shopping and dining options in Carmel Valley, and a need for more housing. Resident Bob Fuchs, a founding member of a group opposing the project, said he’s grateful Lightner is trying to hold the hearing closer to home. “The delay kind of works in our favor, because we’re working hard to get people organized at the meeting, wherever it is, and a lot of people won’t make the trip downtown,” he said. Frisco White, chairman of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group, said he’s not sure whether the hearing will be held locally, but it makes sense to

at least try. Opponents, supporters and even Kilroy’s offices are all in the area. “It’s a very large project with many impacts in our community,” he said. Holding City Council meetings out in the community is unusual, although it has some precedent, especially on hotly debated topics. Last year, the council held its hearing about the La Jolla Children’s Pool seals in La Jolla. City Clerk Liz Maland said the cost of moving a council meeting can vary greatly, depending on the venue. The average cost for her office is about $3,000, she said. Other city departments may incur their own costs for things such as TV coverage of the meetings.

the counts. Defense attorney Brad Patton said his client — named “Mother of the Year” in 2006 for the work she did for her disabled daughter — wanted to buy the home in Carmel Valley to be in that school district and to better care for her child. Rowe made it clear to detectives that she posted the “prank” ad because of the enormous stress she was under, and at no time intended to do any harm to the victim, according to Patton. At the time, Rowe was suffering from a lack of sleep because of caring for her daughter — who’s now 16 — and her husband, who had just had a heart attack, Patton said. Deputy District Attorney Brendan McHugh said Rowe harassed the victims for months and ultimately

placed the ad on Craigslist, encouraging men to contact the homeowner for sexual favors while her husband was away. “What she did is very serious,’’ McHugh said outside court Jan. 9. “She terrorized these people from October of 2011 to June of 2012, culminating in sending men to the victim’s home, to essentially rape her. This was extremely dangerous, this was very serious, and this was completely unprovoked.’’ Rowe apologized for her actions and said she was “humiliated” by her behavior. “I’m just very sorry,” the defendant said. Jerry Rice said the defendant terrorized his family at a time they were welcoming a second child into the world. He said he is now sleep-deprived, on anti-anx-

iety medication and has taken self-defense classes to protect his family. His wife, Janice Ruhter, said she felt safer away from home when Rowe was harassing her family. “The house became my prison,” Ruhter said. Judge Kathleen Lewis called Rowe’s behavior “scary,” but said she believed the defendant was truly remorseful. “What I see is a ‘Jekyll and Hyde,’ almost,’’ the judge said, telling Rowe she was lucky the solicited rape never happened. In return for her plea to stalking, prosecutors dismissed felony charges of solicitation for rape, solicitation for sodomy and misdemeanor charges of identity theft and making annoying or threatening communication.

50 percent of UC San Diego’s transfer applications are social science majors. Other selected majors among transfers include engineering and biology. UC San Diego continued to see more women than men among freshman applicants, with 51.8 percent females compared with 46.6 percent males and 1.7 percent of appli-

cants not reporting their gender. This year, more males (54.7 percent) applied as transfers compared with females (44.1 percent). Overall, the University of California received more applications this year, compared with last year. Data shows that 193,873 students applied for admission to at least one

of the nine undergraduate UC campuses — 158,146 of them as freshmen and the rest as transfer students. These combined numbers represent an overall increase in applications of 5.8 percent over fall 2014.

Thorp Foundation’s 6th annual 5K run/walk coming up Feb. 7 BY KRISTINA HOUCK For five years, Brad and Beth Thorp searched for answers to their son Mitchell’s undiagnosed illness. And when the community learned of their story, it rallied around them, offering support. “The community came out on behalf of our family and did a walkathon to help us pay off the enormous medical bills we had incurred over the years,” Beth Thorp recalled. “It was just an amazing, humbling experience.” Although the Thorps lost their 18-yearold son in November 2008, their tragedy inspired the couple to give back to the community, founding the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. “It was a matter of turning our tragedy into something inspirational for others,” said Thorp, co-founder and executive director. “It also helped us through our grieving process, carrying Mitchell’s name forward.” Mitchell was in seventh grade when he started experiencing severe headaches. By the end of his five-year battle, he could no longer walk or talk, and he had difficulty seeing. The pain in his head was so severe he had seizures. Medicine did not help. Mitchell’s medical bills multiplied as the Thorp family traveled across the country, looking for answers. To help cover some of the costs, Carlsbad baseball leagues organized a walkathon to raise money for Mitchell’s treatments. An avid baseball fan, Mitchell grew up

playing baseball in the community. He followed in his father’s footsteps, who played minor league baseball for the Dodgers. In 2009, the city of Carlsbad named the Poinsettia Park ballfield after Mitchell. Inspired by their son’s strength and the community’s support, the Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs. “Parents will go to the ends of the Earth, like we did, to do whatever it takes to help their child,” said Thorp, whose family has lived in Carlsbad for 20 years. “We do what we can to support them.” To raise funds for families in need, the foundation’s sixth annual 5K Run/Walk is returning Feb. 7 to Carlsbad’s Poinsettia Community Park — the same park where friends and neighbors rallied around the Thorps years before. Nearly 1,000 people attended last year’s event, which raised about $178,000, Thorp said. This year’s event features a new course and a chip-timed race, as well as new activities, including a Kid Ventures Kids Zone. The event will also offer food, health/wellness vendors, music and other entertainment. “It’s very heartwarming to be there,” Thorp said. “It’s a very fun, family, community-type event. And the money goes toward something really special.” For information or to register, visit mitchellthorp.org.

The Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs.

Council Connections recently announced the addition of Solana Beach resident Jeff Maysent, former general counsel for Premier, Inc., to its board of directors. Maysent’s extensive experience in group purchasing and multi-site health center systems rounds out Council Connections board, as it jumps with both feet into its latest three-year strategic plan. “At Council Connections, we are continually striving to enhance the financial strength of our members, and we believe that the addition of Jeff Maysent to the Council Connections Board of Directors is invaluable in not only continuing our mission, but moving forward with the implementation of our new three-year strategic plan,” said Sparkle Barnes, executive vice president of Council Connections. “We are excited to work with Jeff not only in the coming months, but throughout the next few years.” Council Connections serves more than 4,000 members in the health care and nonhealth care space and achieved double-digit growth last calendar year. With more than 30 years in the GPO market, Council Connections growth explosion in the past five years is due to a dramatically expanded aggregated contract portfolio and dedicated sales and service team. Before joining Premier, Maysent was general counsel of St. Joseph Health Systems, an Orange County-based multi-hospital system in California and Texas, where he also served as CEO of its insurance subsidiary, American Unity Group. Maysent was on the board of a multi-site Cincinnati hospital group, Sisters of Charity Health Systems, and began his career as staff counsel of the Illinois Hospital Association. “Jeff’s professional expertise marries perfectly with the direction of Council Connections — to continue to seize emerging strategic opportunities and scale our operations during a time of rapid growth, yet sustain customer service excellence,” said Henry N. Tuttle, CEO of the Council of Community Clinics, Council Connections’ parent company. Maysent is impressed by Council Connections’ track record and service to its members, which are growing by 20 new members per week. “I look forward to working with the board, and management team, as Council Connections enhances its role as a leading source of supply chain efficiencies for health care providers, educational and social service agencies nationwide,” he said.

Big inspiration comes in little pieces for CV mosaic artist BY KAREN BILLING Helen Segal can take bits of broken pieces and turn them into something they never dreamed of being. Her goal as an artist who specializes in mosaics is to find the interesting and unique in the mundane, and to repurpose the discarded and unwanted into something beautiful. In her 19 years in Carmel Valley, neighbors have learned she’s the “mosaic lady,” and offerings of tiles and scraps will appear anonymously at her doorstep. “What other people think is junk is truly my magic,” Segal said. Last year in one of her biggest artistic endeavors, Segal built sculptures for the San Diego Jewish Academy campus. A group of life-size ladies was named “The Ma- Above left: Helen Segal at her wave sculpture, a commissioned project in La Jolla; above right, ‘The Matriarchs’ at San Diego Jewish Academy was triarchs,” representing the sculpted by Helen Segal with mosaic work by Barbi Dorfan, Sigal Sherman and Cheryl Rattner Price.

Rising Australian blues singer Hamish Anderson at Belly Up Jan. 25 BY ROB LEDONNE This time last year, 23-year-old Hamish Anderson had no idea he’d be recording and touring around the United States as a working artist with a growing fan base. Anderson, a native of Melbourne, Australia, with two successful EPs under his belt, is bringing his act to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Sunday, Jan. 25, opening for Los Lobos. “I haven’t really explored Southern California that much,” Anderson said from Melbourne, where he was on his summer break. “I’m really interested to see what it’s all about. From what I can tell, it’s very different from Melbourne.” Anderson’s roots in blues began when he was just 12 years old while exploring his father’s vinyl collection. “He Hamish Anderson had the Rolling Stones, Beatles, and Led Zeppelin records, and I got influenced by the artists who influenced them.” It was a curious choice at first, considering that the blues doesn’t have the same cachet in Australia that it has in America, especially in places like Chicago or Nashville. “The blues has never really been at the forefront of popular music there,” Anderson explained. “But I begged my parents for months to get me a guitar, and it became an obsession.” That obsession found Anderson practicing the guitar in his room day and night, honing his craft and waiting to perform in public. “For a long time I considered myself only a guitarist,” he said of his musical evolution. “I then got more into songwriting, and that’s what felt more real to me as something I wanted to continue doing.” From listening to those Rolling Stones records to honing his songwriting and guitar skills, Anderson began focusing on a career in music and began hitting the stage. The result was a banner 2014, which came full circle when he linked up with Krish Sharma, a LA-based producer known for his work with the legendary Don Was and the Stones themselves. “We wound up getting along really well, but I didn’t think anything would come from it,” Anderson said. “We had a good vibe and were on the same brainwave, so we collaborated.” The result of that collaboration is Anderson’s two EPs, the latest of which, “Restless,” features the handiwork of Sharma, as well as pedal guitarist Greg Liesz (who has worked with Tom Petty) and mixer Brian Lucey (best known for mixing albums for the likes of The

Black Keys and The Shins). “We only did about two or three takes of each song,” Anderson explained of his recording process. “After doing so much touring with my band, we felt really comfortable with playing live. I wanted the songs to have a live feel.” He scored his latest coup this past fall when he opened up for blues god B.B. King, which Anderson calls “a dream come true. His band, which also played with Ray Charles, was very complimentary towards me and that was awesome.” Now he’s focusing on making 2015 as good as the previous year. “Everyone back home kind of really enjoys everything that’s been happening to me,” he said. “It’s going so well and I never thought any of these things were going to happen. It’s gotten better and better and that’s all you can really ask for.” Visit hamishanderson. com.au.

Local student’s script to be performed at ‘Plays by Young Writers’ festival

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although he’s still in high school, local playwright Matthew Maceda’s script will soon go from paper to the stage. The Torrey Highlands teen’s “Coffee, Cream and Closure” will debut late January during Playwrights Project’s 30th annual Plays by Young Writers festival, which features winning scripts from its California Young Playwrights Contest. “This is a really great opportunity,” said Matthew, a sophomore at Westview High School. “It’s a very collaborative process.” Playwrights Project received 581 contest submissions from students across the state — up from last year’s 165 submissions. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and four scripts will receive staged readings. All contest participants who requested feedback received individualized written critiques. Inspired by the reality television series “Long Island Medium,” Matthew wrote “Coffee, Cream and Closure” when he was 15. The roughly 30-minute play follows a young businesswoman who reconnects with her deceased father through the help of a medium she meets at a coffee shop. “Mathew’s play came to the top,” said Cecelia Kouma, executive director of Playwrights Project. “The main character is someone who is on a journey with something very meaningful to accomplish.” Now 16, this is Matthew’s first year competing in the older division of the contest, after winning staged readings three consecutive years in the younger division. Matthew was in seventh grade when Playwrights Project selected his first, “From Underdog to Top Rhino.” “I am really excited, especially since this is a full production,” Matthew said. “It’s something I’ve never experienced.” Founded in 1985, Playwrights Project reaches as many as 10,000 people each year through its classroom programs and annual contest. With a mission to advance literacy, creativity and communication, the nonprofit organization is celebrating its 30th anniversary working with individuals to

White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe in Balboa Park. “I have seen, personally, all the hard work that has gone in from everybody,” Matthew said. “I would appreciate it if people would come out and see it. It’s just truly magical.” General admission tickets cost $25. Dis-

counted tickets for seniors, students and military cost $20. Opening night and reception tickets cost $60. To purchase tickets, call 858-384-2970 or email write@playwrightsproject.org. For more information about Playwrights Project, visit www.playwrightsproject.org.

Balboa Park art show accepting submissions Matthew Maceda voice their stories through playwriting programs and theater productions. “Playwrights Project is recognized within the education community,” Kouma said. “Teachers really embrace the program and see the benefits of bringing it to their classroom. As far the festival component, not only do the teachers encourage their students to submit, but it also has a reputation across the state. Also, the artists who are helping realize these plays are all professionals and love this work. All of those combined really contribute to why it’s succeeded this long.” The festival will take place Jan. 22 through Feb. 1 at The Sheryl and Harvey

The committee behind “Prospectus,” the 40th annual Small Image Art Competition held at Gallery 21 in the Spanish Village Art Center at Balboa Park, is accepting submissions for its annual competition.

Lady Gaga/Tony Bennett make surprise appearance at Belly Up • Foo Fighters, Aloe Blacc also there Jan. 9 for private party BY GEORGE VARGA, SPECIAL TO THE SB SUN No, April Fool’s Day did not come early this year to the Belly Up in Solana Beach, which on Jan. 8 hosted a private concert by Foo Fighters, Aloe Blacc and the chart-topping vocal duo of Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett. The superstar-studded lineup was on hand to perform at a private party for William Morris Endeavor, one of the world’s leading talent agencies. The Belly Up is a familiar venue to WME music division chairman Marc Geiger, a former UC San Diego student who co-founded the annual Lollapalooza music festival in 1991. WME represents all four artists booked for its Belly Up party, along with Bruno Mars, Black Sabbath, Nine Inch Nails and many more. No prior announcements were made about the invitation-only show, whose lineup was displayed Jan. 9 on the Belly Up’s marquee. Social media blew up Jan. 9 when rumors began

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga performed Jan. 9 at a private party at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. Also on the bill: Aloe Blacc and Foo Fighters. swirling about the party, eventually replaced by confirmation by music aficionados who took pictures of the marquee. In a subsequent online post, Lady Gaga wrote: “The Foo Fighters were so incredible tonight, monster fury rock n’ roll, 20 years of locked precision. Can’t stop screaming, almost took my pants off Dave playing guitar with an empty shot of Jägermeister. Glass to the strings.” She also tweeted: “Me and Tony tonight. Just giving big ups to the boss. I love being his go go girl.” It is, without doubt, the biggest lineup to ever perform at the 600-capacity Belly Up, which opened in 1974 and has hosted concerts by everyone from B.B. King and Kenny Rogers to former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth. Foo Fighters perform this weekend at the 18,000-capacity Forum in Los Angeles, while Bennett and Gaga will perform May 30 at the similarly sized Hollywood Bowl.

Popular Marketplace Grille thriving at CVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piazza Carmel BY KAREN BILLING Offering the â&#x20AC;&#x153;thrill of the grillâ&#x20AC;? in San Diego since 1987, Marketplace Grille has found a happy new home in Carmel Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piazza Carmel. Marketplace Grille features poultry and seafood, such as chicken, filet mignon, lamb, shrimp and salmon, mesquite-grilled on stainless steel skewers over an open-pit mesquite wood fire that customers can see aflame from the countertop. Lovingly framed on the wall of the Piazza Carmel location are black-and-white prints of the fire pits of their longstanding La Jolla and Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley eateries. Over the years, Marketplace Grille has built up a loyal following with well-known fans such as politician Mitt Romney and life success coach Tony Robbins, who once had owner Tony Marashi bring food to the McClellanâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Palomar Airport in Carlsbad so it could be flown directly to him and a group in Las Vegas that wanted Marketplaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food to be the first they ate coming off a fast. Pacific Highlands Ranch resident Robin Aldridge is also one of their biggest fans. She worked in the Sorrento Valley area for two years and found herself eating at the Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley location about three times a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food is absolutely amazing, healthy and very fresh,â&#x20AC;? said Aldridge, listing her favorites as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bestâ&#x20AC;? tabouleh and the Greek salad with spicy chicken. In early 2013, she started working 100 percent from her home in Pacific Highlands Ranch, but would still make the trek to Sorrento Valley a couple of times a month for the food. She would joke with Marashi to please open a Carmel Valley location.

Amazingly enough, he did so a year later in February 2014. In truth, Marashi has had his eyes on the Piazza Carmel spot for years. When he heard the Pick Up Stix was leaving, he finally made it in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like this location. Many people I have served over the years live in this area, since they were teenagers in La Jolla, and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re professionals who live in this part of town,â&#x20AC;? Marashi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The very first week we were open, we were successful. I think people like that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy and fresh. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any butter here, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no microwave, no freezer. Everything is very healthy, very lean, and the mesquite flame just enhances the flavor of the food.â&#x20AC;? Marashi bought Marketplace Grille in La Jolla in 1995. He had landed in San Diego by way of Texas, where he studied restaurant management at the University of Houston. He worked at restaurants, hotels and wineries, but saw true potential in Marketplace when it came up for sale. The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings were limited at the time, and Marashi beefed up the menu, adding soups, salads and appetizers. He brought in the grilled vegetables, wahoo fish and salmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our salmon is phenomenal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of this world, â&#x20AC;? he said. After five years at La Jolla, he opened the Mira Mesa location. Over the years, he opened and sold locations in Kearny Villa and downtown, and also operated a bakery in Escondido before the 2007 wildfires greatly affected his business and he had to sell. On the menu at Marketplace are generous plates of assorted grilled vegetables and choice of poultry or seafood served with rice

Appetizers include tabbouleh, a freshly made salad of parsley, tomato, green onion, garlic and bulgur wheat with olive oil and fresh-squeezed lime juice. Eggplants can be seen roasting over the charcoal fire to make their famous baba ghanoush dip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eggplant blended with yogurt and tahini. Marketplace also has wraps, with all of their grilled goodness in whole wheat lavash bread, or you can opt to fill a crispy lavash bread bowl. Fresh-made hummus can be served with pita bread or sliced veggies for dipping, and sides include basmati white rice, herb rice or brown rice made in a special way, Marashi said, so it is never â&#x20AC;&#x153;mushy.â&#x20AC;? After being open for nearly a year, Marashi said he has been very happy with the Carmel Valley location. The restaurant has patio space that allows for outdoor dining, and many customers he already knows by sight as regulars. Marashi said he stayed open on Christmas Eve and Christmas, knowing not everybody would be celebrating the holidays. The restaurant ended up being â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally slammed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? Marashi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to serve our community.â&#x20AC;? Visit marketplacegrille.com or call (858) 793-0705.

Papa Doug Proof positive: Author creates guide to improving mental attitude Manchester BY ASHLEY MACKIN When the New Year rolls around, most people resolve to lose weight or get in shape. But local author Kat Crowley has a different exercise routine in mind — one for the attitude. What if, she posits, we resolved to get better about not nagging, being a more encouraging friend or not comparing ourselves to others? “The angle I wanted to hit home with my book is that positivity needs a regimen,” she said. “It’s not just ‘Oh, that’s your personality’ or ‘That’s your disposition.’ It’s just like physical fitness: You need to be exercising a healthy attitude daily, just like you would for physical health.” So she wrote “Week to Strong: Thought-Shifting Mental Shape-Up Plan,” a week-by-week guide to exercising positivity. Each chapter offers mental exercises, journal topics and discussion questions, to spur a positive mindset. As a personal development writer and ghostwriter, Cowley said a positive ‘Week to Strong: Thoughtattitude is something “I’m truly passion- Shifting Mental Shape-Up ate about.” Plan,’ is a week-by-week Her guide is designed to be implementable by anyone. Cowley said her guide to exercising posibook comes from a “real place,” which tivity. she compared to places where everyday Kat Crowley people exchange recipes. “You see all these blogs with the premise of ‘if I can cook this, anyone can.’ Well, this is me sharing a recipe for living,” she said. “I don’t have a Harvard education, I don’t have ‘doctor’ in front of my name, the Dalai Lama has not invited me to dinner any time — I’m just an everyday person.” Having an overall positive attitude benefits “every strand of life,” she said. “Imagine if when people walked into the post office line … they walked in and thought, ‘I want to have a positive effect on these people.’ So you watch your tone or skip sighing because the line is long, or you thank the very busy postal worker.” Hoping her book spurs discussions among groups of people or friends, Crowley said, “The more open we are about our shortcomings or what we might need help with, and the more we talk about it, the better off we’ll be. So much conflict and hurt feelings would be eliminated if we were as passionate about our mental health as we are about our physical health.” “Week to Strong” is available at Amazon.com and at Warwick’s books, 7812 Girard Ave. Visit katcowley.com.

receives La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bronze Star

La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Bailli of La Jolla presented Papa Doug Manchester with the La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bronze Star for his outstanding culinary and hospitality contributions and for his many philanthropies. The award was presented by Bailli Dominick Addario, M.D. “Mr. Manchester has done so much for the culinary community and the San Diego region with his beautiful downtown hotel resorts, the Manchester Grand Del Mar and remarkable world-class restaurants like Addison,” said Addario. “And with the groundbreaking of the Fairmont, Austin, a 595-foot-tall, 1,066-room convention hotel in the heart of Austin, Texas, he continues to expand his mark on the skylines of America’s culinary and hospitality industry.”

We also wanted to demonstrate our profound appreciation for the philanthropic work ‘Papa’ Doug does in this community. So much of it goes unnoticed.” Founded in Paris in 1248, La Chaîne is the world’s oldest international gastronomic society. It is based on the traditions and practices of the old French royal guild of meat roasters (rôtisseurs). Revived in 1952, the society has professional and amateur members in more than 90 countries. In the United States, there are 122 Bailliages (chapters), each offering a variety of culinary activities to suit the interests of local members.

Cygnet opens year with ‘Sons of the Prophet’ Cygnet Theatre in Old Town San Diego continues its run of presenting Southern California premieres with “Sons of the Prophet” (now through Feb. 15), the latest work by Stephen Karam (“Speech and Debate”). With the play premiering at New York’s Roundabout Theatre in 2011, Karam was hailed as “a major new voice in American Theater.” His brutally funny and explosive comedy was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and has received multiple other awards, including the 2012 Drama Critics Circle, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Hull-Warriner awards for Best Play. Inspired by an actual news story about a high school prank gone wrong, Karam’s contemporary tale about two gay brothers dealing with a family tragedy in a run-down area of Nazareth, Penn., deals with themes of family, culture and resilience. Two brothers are on their own after their father dies of a heart attack two weeks after a car accident, leaving them alone to care for themselves and their aging uncle. What unfolds is a comedy about human suffering, love, strength and hope. Director Rob Lutfy returns to Cygnet after a critically acclaimed mounting of “The Motherf**ker with the Hat” last season. Lutfy is the 2014-2015 National New Play Network Producer-in-Residence at Marin Theatre Company. He has worked on plays in development at The Kennedy Center, The O’Neill Theatre Center and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. He was the 2012-13 William R. Kenan, Jr. Directing Fellow at The John F. Kennedy Center. He is a graduate of the directing program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Drama, where he returns annually to teach acting as guest faculty. “We see so much humor and pathos in these layered people,” said Lutfy. “Karam portrays a uniquely American phenomenon. It’s an immigrant story. The world of ‘Sons of the Prophet’ is just as complicated as the conflict in the Middle East: present over past, the new world over the old world, and a fall from a more prosperous, meaningful past.” The nine-member cast includes a majority of actors making Cygnet Theatre debuts, as well as two actors in a long line

J* Company Youth Theatre offers ‘Pirates of Penzance’ J* Company Youth Theatre launches 2015 with a rollicking classic, Gilbert & Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance.” Directed by Joey Landwehr, this operetta tells the story of the morally centered Frederic, who has erroneously been apprenticed to and raised by a band of pirates. Upon his release on his 21st birthday, he decides to strike off on his own and become an upstanding citizen — which may even mean bringing the pirates to justice. But soon he meets Mabel and they fall in love. Everything seems perfect until Frederick discovers that he was born on Feb. 29, and technically has a birthday only on a leap year. Will his sense of duty and honor force him to leave Mabel and serve the pirates for another 63 years until he officially turns 21? Will Mabel and her sisters be captured by the pirates and be forced to lead the very life Frederic is trying to escape? Performances run from Friday, Jan. 16, through Sunday, Jan. 25 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Call 858-362-1348 or visit www.sdcjc.org/jcompany.

Mysterious, spicy fun in North Coast Rep’s ‘Gunmetal Blues’ BY DIANA SAENGER Mystery mixes with sexual motivation at the seedy, smoky Red Eye Lounge, in the San Diego premiere of the musical, “Gunmetal Blues,” directed by Andrew Barnicle from Jan. 17-Feb. 8 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. How a trench-coated private eye, jaded piano player and sultry blondes work together — or antagonize each other — unfolds in this funny, inventive play, which fans of film noir mysteries won’t want to miss. Sharon Rietkerk stars as The Blondes, Kevin Bailey as The Private Eye, and Jeffrey Rockwell as The Piano Player/ Music Director. Rietkerk said she’s ready for the challenge of playing multiple characters in her NCRT debut, and ready for the singing and dancing, as well. Bailey plays just one character, but Rockwell, like Rietkerk, tackles several. “It’s an intimate ensemble with three people carrying the workload of an entire cast,” Rietkerk said. “My characters are all exceedingly different from each other, with different voices, histories and motives, and it’s really fun.” She agreed that because the play is sexy and funny, it mimics the screwball comedies of early Hollywood. “The first blonde in the story is a femme fatale archetype,” Rietkerk said. “She’s the one who hires Sam, the private eye who is down on his luck, has morals, but drinks too much and is a dark soul. This starts the plot moving as we find out about her past. She’s curious, cold and alluring, and it’s uncertain what she’s hiding.” Rietkerk sees “Gunmetal Blues” as a musical homage to film noir. “We do stop to sing, which usually doesn’t happen in film noir, but I think it treats the genre very lovingly by being aware of itself and telling a story in the medium of stage, which is different than film with technology and approach. Scott Wentworth, the writer, did a wonderful job blending humor, history and music into one show.” Rietkerk said audiences often think comedy is easier to do than drama, but ask most actors and they’ll disagree. “It would seem easier to tell a joke than to cry,” she said. “A

rize the order of things, and thankfully, there is someone back there to help me, and eventually it becomes a rhythm.” Working at NCRT has been a wonderful experience. “There are dedicated people working both on and off stage. Everyone I’ve talked to speaks passionately about the work that is done here,” she said. “I’m grateful that Andrew Barnicle is directing, because he’s so familiar with the material, which is a dense plot with lots of twist and turns. I adore my two actors. Kevin is wonderful and Buddy helps Sam tell the story by turning into the doorman, the cop, or the gangster. “The cleverness of using two actors to play multiple characters, but tell one story, is unique,” Rietkerk said. “There’s complexity even within the conventions of the play. The music score and lyrics by Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler have elements of blues and jazz, and winks at classic music as well, all of which enhances the voice of the writer. It’s a really fun show.” “Gunmetal Blues” runs matinees and evenings Jan. 17Feb. 8 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $54; call 858-4811055; visit northcoastrep.org.

Cancer Society’s Run California 10/20 coming through coastal cities Feb. 15 comedy is sensitive, and you can’t overwork it, or be flippant with it. You have to have a sense of awareness and timing, and be cognitive of your audience and the purpose of the jokes and lines that have humor. I love it. There’s nothing better than hearing laughter or feeling enjoyment from the audience.” Rietkerk said she’s managing all she has to do for her five characters — especially every time she must exit the stage to become a different one. “I have to change my clothes really quickly, so it’s a definite dance of choreography,” she said. “That could have been a problem here because of the small spaces behind the stage, but I just memo-

Inside creative process for ‘Dances of Love Laughter and Loss,’ coming to UC San Diego • Dance Theater creator Isaacs offers ‘behind-the-steps’ look at pieces BY KRIS EITLAND On a cold December morning, Jean Isaacs drove to the White Box Theatre in NTC, Point Loma for an early rehearsal. “We’re restaging ‘Atlantic Man’ from 2003 and based on (Margurite) Duras’ radio play, and the costumes are birdlike,” Isaacs said. “Feathers are going to fly this morning.” Several dancers were already inside, stretching and jumping to stay warm near the wall heaters. Minaqua McPherson skipped rope like a pro boxer. Dressed in a red puffy vest and Ugg boots, Isaacs started a CD and took a seat. Dancers broke into twos and threes and converged as a flock. They fell to the cold floor and struggled to stand, pulling their arms up slowly into arcs. In one section, Isaacs tossed out wooden balls the size of marbles and dancers scrambled to gather them up. Jeremy Zapanta used crutches to balance and pivot, and soar like a bird. In performance, the crutches are covered to appear as feathered wings. “I try to stay as true to the original as I can,” he said. “I watched video, but I also want to give it my voice.” There are many dramatic leaps onto shoulders and mini duets to challenge the dancers. “There is room in this piece to layer your own emotion over the original choreography,” said Blythe Barton. “There’s room for it.” John Diaz dances the same part he did in 2003. “I love the wisdom of the

Jeremy Zapanta rehearses “The Atlantic Man.” Photo by Kris Eitland movement,” he said. “It’s in my body, and Jean has enriched it. It’s fuller now.” Almost in unison, the dancers agreed it is very tough to grab all of the scattered balls. “There’s text about absence, and it’s a very stark piece,” Isaacs said, “so I wanted to balance the January program with something light and upbeat. I got the idea for a series of dances when I was cleaning out my linen closet!” Her troupe, San Diego Dance Theater, will also premiere “Pillow: Case,” at the Mandell Weiss Theatre Jan. 16-18, and she explained its genesis. “I wanted to get rid of the old pillow cases in my closet,” she said, “and the new dances are about the people who slept on them. They are autobiographical stories and mixed up by passing of time. I asked Meagan Marshall to write narratives based on those memories. They’re embellished,

and names are changed. So who knows what really happened?” Marshall, a UC San Diego alumnus and former student of Isaacs’, will perform the spoken parts live along with Justin Hudnall of the storytelling group, So Say We All. Hudnall was a hit in Isaacs’ collaborative show “Damaged Goods” last year. In rehearsal, Marshall set the dancers in motion with her juicy stories framed like crime shows and “Inside the Actors Studio.” “He had a jungle habitat, leopard and safari-print sheets …” she explained. Another pillow case is titled, “Parade of Men” and ends with the line, “My bed that year was like a revolving door.” The text provides rhythm and visual imagery, and Isaacs asks dancers to improvise and interpret the ideas. Several of the dance vignettes are racy, but with a humorous tone. Barton and Kyle Sorensen stayed late to finalize their slippery satin sheet duet. “I like it when you really slide on the cases, and the big split,” said Isaacs. “Can you wrap your leg around tighter? Whose hand is that? This is looking great. Let’s do the split again.” “Dances of Love, Laughter and Loss,” in onstage 8 p.m. Jan. 16 and Jan. 17; 2 p.m. Jan. 18, at Mandell Weiss Theatre, UC San Diego. Tickets from $15.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS La Jolla Wellness Studio employs unique techniques BY DIANE Y. WELCH Innovation and space-program technology set the La Jolla Wellness Studio worlds apart from other health clubs. In its new state-of-the-art facility in downtown La Jolla, the studio provides a wellness program that promotes the health of body, mind and spirit and appears more like a futuristic spa than a gym. It’s not only high-tech, but efficient, too. The studio offers a unique 30-minute workout — with a personal trainer — that’s equivalent to 100 minutes of weight training, 60 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of stretching in a single session, said Michelle Racine, the studio’s managing director. “One of the machines we use was the type used by NASA astronauts when they orbited the Earth for a couple of years so that they didn’t lose their lean body mass,” Racine explained. Workouts using the patent-pending MyoMetrix Method Workout begin with an optional treatment of the i-Lipo Ultra Laser, which emits low levels of laser energy. This naturally breaks down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are then transported to the tissues that will use them during exercise. Next is 10 minutes of vertical vibration therapy, which increases production of human growth hormone, serotonin and endorphins while it lowers cortisol and lactic acid. It decreases cellulite, tightens skin and relieves menopausal symptoms while increasing metabolism, reducing body fat and relieving stress. Then it’s on to the Range of Motion machine, for high-intensity four-minute interval training that boasts the same results as 45 minutes of cardio and weight training

combined. Workouts conclude with a 10- to 15-minute horizontal vibration recovery, calibrating metabolism for optimal fat loss and lean muscle mass building. “This also does tremendous things for skin and vascular flow,” said Racine. “Guys who go on it have reported that they don’t need to take Viagra anymore.” Gene Barduson is the founder of this unique MyoMetrix Method Workout. Aiming to stay healthy after a cancer diagnosis, Barduson wanted to invent something to reverse the aging process and keep himself fit. “So he put this very high-tech system together for himself and friends at his country club,” said Racine of the inspiration for La Jolla Wellness. “His friends started having miraculous things happen, like not needing to take high blood pressure medication and having the best golf game in their life,” said Racine. “Women in their 70s were able to play four sets of tennis, and they started to look younger.” In fact, Racine was a client before she became managing director. A dancer, she used the method to help alleviate the aches and pains that often come with rigorous exercise. The method breaks down lactic acid, reduces cortisol levels and erases depression. “I couldn’t believe how great I felt,” Racine commented. Word of the La Jolla Wellness Studio has even traveled to the medical school at Western Oregon University. “They are so fascinated by our patented process that they are doing an 18-month study to see what all the health benefits are,” said Racine. The studio offers massage, Reiki heal-

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

News Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies.

Of Americans who responded to the survey, nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and antilock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a

feature that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are signiﬁcantly reduced. Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all

too common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can help drivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Teffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-lon grain excites the culinary world The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Q: Dear Kitchen Shrink, I have a non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, and am growing tired of the old stand bys--quinoa and buckwheat. Do you have any other grain suggestions for an interesting change up? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Debbie Roth, loyal reader A: An ancient crop called teff that has been cultivated and harvested for roughly 4,000 years has now become an â&#x20AC;&#x153;overnight culinary success,â&#x20AC;? gradually replacing quinoa as the grain of choice for gluten-free preferences and dietary needs. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primer to help you get the best and most out of this old/modern wonder grain.

Give Wheat the Shaft Teffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins trace back to the ancient civilizations of Abyssinia, modern day Ethiopia. The hearty, naturally gluten-free grain sustained these people for millennia, adapting well to their quasi-nomadic cultures with its short and prolific growing seasons, and quick cooking times requiring little fuel. Teff evolved using an ancient method of photosynthesis called Carbon 4, allowing it to thrive in temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while wheat wimps out at temperatures over 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Its versatility also allows it to grow in diverse environments from low lying wetlands to high, dry mountainous regions, and the super grain has a strong immune system, resistant to most plant diseases. It takes only one pound of teff grains to grow an acre (one ton) of the crop, compared to wheat, which takes 100 pounds to yield a single acre. Teff as Medicine This petite powerhouse surpasses all grains in its

rich supply of calcium, has a surprise store of Vitamin C, atypical of grains, along with hemoglobin building iron. Also a good source energy-boosting vegetarian protein, a balance of essential amino acids and dietary fiber in the form of resistant starch, teff provides a triple boon for colon health, weight and blood sugar control. Perhaps one of the reasons for its healthful profile is its diminutive size, too tiny to tinker with, whether strip, bleach or process, thereby leaving the nutrient dense bran and germ intact in its whole grain form. Teff Trivia Its Ethiopian name, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eragrostis tefâ&#x20AC;? originates from the Greek meaning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;grass of love.â&#x20AC;? Teff is a featherweight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3,000 grains weigh in at roughly 1 gram (1/28 of an ounce). Each peewee grain measures less than 1 millimeter in diameter (poppy-seed-size). This speedy sprouter beats the world grain growing record at 36 hours. Teff Up! Teff comes in designer

shades of ivory, red and chocolate brown, the lighter colors more mildly flavored, the darker varieties having more earthy, nutty nuances. Teff is ground into a flour to make the spongy East African sourdough bread called injera. In Ethiopian cuisine injera is used as an edible platter with traditional foods piled on top. The flour can also be baked into other gluten-free goodies, such as, piecrusts, cakes, cookies, scones, waffles and quick breads. In its whole grain form teff is equally delicious as a warm breakfast cereal, or as the base for pilafs, polentas, stews, soups, crepes and veggie burgers incorporating an exciting blend of sweet and savory spices. Cooking Tips For a grainy, poppyseed texture, use equal parts of teff and broth, stock or water. Sprinkle on salads, soups, roasted veggies or casseroles as a nutty topping or crust. Using proportions of 1 cup of teff to 3 cups of liquid will produce a soft, creamy texture for a luscious side or main dish.

Teff Veggie Burgers For an exotic riff on quinoa or soy burgers try these savory teff patties along with a side order of nutritional oomph. Ingredients 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon for sautĂŠing) 1/2 small red onion, chopped 1/2 sweet red pepper, diced 4 ounces of mushrooms (button, crimini, Portobello, your choice) chopped 1 cup of whole grain Teff 3 cups of water or broth 1/2 teaspoon of ground thyme 1/2 teaspoon of ground rosemary Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste Method: In a saucepan, add teff, water or broth, herbs, spices, and oil. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed, stirring toward the end of cooking. Set aside. In a skillet, sautĂŠ onions, peppers and mushrooms in the oil until tender. Blend with the cooked

Serve with favorite toppings on a whole-wheat bun or brioche. â&#x20AC;˘Sources of Teff include Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Mill, Gold Mine Natural Food Company, Shiloh Farms and The Teff Company.

continued from page B1

Around Segalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artfilled house are examples of her work: She redid her fireplace in mosaic as well as her entire kitchen. More examples of her innovative art hang from the kitchen ceiling in light fixtures made of repurposed deepdish pizza pans, mosaic glass pieces and spoons. In her backyard, she did all of the decorative mosaic tile walls, the pool and the spa, and laid every single pebble one by one on the deck. Mosaic minstrels dance on the walls of her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill always says if you stand still long enough, I will mosaic you,â&#x20AC;? Segal joked.

Last year, she was commissioned to mosaic a 12-foot ocean-themed outdoor shower at a La Jolla home, creating an impressive wave out of bits of beachy pieces. The owners loved it so much they had her carry the mosaic work up the stairs, where she made a 5-foot-tall stingray. Then they asked to have a seagull. Feeling that the seagull was â&#x20AC;&#x153;lonely,â&#x20AC;? Segal is now working on two additional birds for the home. Completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Matriarchsâ&#x20AC;? has stoked a new creative fire for Segal. Now all she wants to do is big and bigger projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want there to be a limit,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art makes you internally soar, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to do art. It makes you reach levels in your heart and soul that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know existed. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I have to do it.â&#x20AC;? To view more art, visit helensegal.com.
