Del Mar track’s new fall season off and running

BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES/NEWS/SUN Old Hollywood stars appeared on cue at Del Mar Nov. 7 in the form of celebrity dress- and look-alikes such as Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant and others, all parading around Plaza de Mexico before the races.

“I ran into the bestlooking Lucille Ball I’ve ever seen,” said Joe Harper, president and CEO of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.

Despite report, water district says reduced water use on target

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The Santa Fe Irrigation District announced Nov. 5 it’s on target to meet statemandated per-capita water consumption reduction targets, despite a report showing that residents in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Solana Beach topped a statewide list for water usage in September.

The figures released by the state Water Resources Control Board showed residential per-capita daily water consumption for districts around California, which is in the midst of an extreme drought. Officials from the governor to local water officials have been urging customers to conserve water in case the state has another dry winter.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District’s roughly 19,400 customers used 584.4 gallons per capita per day in September, according to the report.

started off slowly, kind of like one of Bing’s melodious songs. But by day’s end, the crowd built on what was a cozy, November beach day that drew 11,513 for fall racing.

“No one is used to coming to Del Mar for a 12:30 post,” Harper said.

By comparison, the now-extinct Hollywood Park drew 2,772 for its fall opener last year.

“I think we had that beat with our employees,” Harper joked.

Also by comparison, Del Mar drew just 3,909 for

its opener in 1967, the only other year the track ran a fall meeting.

The final betting handle from all sources was $8,560,127, up 46.8 percent over Hollywood Park’s last year for opening day. It also dwarfed the $389,571 handle Del Mar produced for that 1967 fall opener.

Ninety-five percent of the trackside tables had patrons sitting at them.

At a Nov. 5 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board regional issues subcommittee meeting, the developers Milan Capital discussed the beginnings of their plans for the 23.88 acres adjacent to the San Diego Polo Club, known by most as a parking lot for Surf Soccer participants.

Prop A, which passed in 1985, states that any development on agriculturally zoned land is to be very low density housing or equestrian use. Development any more intensive than that must go to a vote for approval.

“These are Prop A lands, there’s no secret about that, and we’re not trying to skirt the Prop A process,” said Chris Nichelson, president of Milan Capital.

SB city manager set to retire

BY EDWARD SIFUENTES SPECIAL TO THE SOLANA BEACH SUN City Manager David Ott is set to retire at the end of the month after more than a decade with the city.

Ott, who started out as the Solana Beach fire chief and ended up as city manager, said he wants to travel and spend more time with his family. He announced his retirement in May, and the city is looking for his replacement.

“It’s a great city, a great organization,” Ott said.

“We’ve had some great successes and so I feel really good about what we’ve done here.”

Ott’s last day will be Nov. 28.

Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner praised his work with the city.

“The three words I would use to describe David are honorable, professional and compassionate,” Heebner said. “It has been a pleasure working with him. A council member relies on the city manager to implement the council’s directives, vision and tone. He has done that skillfully.”

Ott has worn multiple hats — often at the same time — during his years with the city. He was first hired in 2003 as fire chief and director of public safety

David Ott and, within a few months, was also named fire chief of neighboring Del Mar — a role he kept until 2009. By then, he had already been promoted to Solana Beach’s deputy city manager in 2005 and to city manager in 2006.

One of his proudest achievements as city manager was completing the Highway 101 renovation project last year, he said.

The $7 million revitalization project transformed a nearly 1-mile section of the commercial thoroughfare into a pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly corridor with narrowed highway lanes and widened sidewalks.

Heebner also credited Ott with overseeing important improvement projects such as rebuilding the city’s aging sewer system, and guiding the city through the economic downturn.

A native of Grand Haven, Mich., Ott, 60, moved with his family to San Diego when he was in the fourth grade and graduated from Helix High School. He now

lives in Point Loma with his wife, Nancy.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in fire administration and another in fire prevention technology from Cogswell Polytechincal College in Sunnyvale. He also has two master’s degrees in human resources from the University of Redlands and organizational management from Grand Canyon University in Arizona.

Before joining the city, he was a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service at Camp Pendleton and in Coronado.

He also worked for Imperial Beach as public safety director and assistant city manager.

For now, he plans to travel. He said he has never been to Europe and wants to visit Italy, Spain and Greece.

But he hasn’t ruled out working again.

“I’m not exactly the totally retiring type,” Ott said.

“But if I get another job, it will be on my time and on my terms.”

Council members have held several closed session meetings to discuss a successor but no decision has been made, Heebner said.

“The council has not found the right individual to take the position, so we will continue our search,” she said. “Timing is less important than finding the right person.”

Del Mar man sentenced for raping two women

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A former Del Mar man convicted of raping two women, including one he met on the Christian dating website ChristianMingle.com, was sentenced Nov. 7 to 37 years to life in state prison.

Sean Patrick Banks, 39, was convicted in June of raping a La Mesa woman in her apartment after they met on ChristianMingle.com in November 2012 and raping another woman he met on Match.com in 2009.

“This particular defendant has no remorse for the victims,” Deputy District Attorney David Williams III said. “He has no recognition that what he did was wrong.”

Before Judge Daniel Goldstein pronounced the sentence, Banks read a Bible verse in court and challenged the victims.

“I’m willing to consider whether to drop my appeal if (the Christian Mingle victim) can pass a polygraph on the facts of the case,” Banks said.

The judge responded that the remark “shows a lack of remorse.” There were moments throughout the proceedings when Banks could have expressed remorse but didn’t, the judge added.

Katie Kuhlman told the judge that Banks contacted her soon after she joined the dating website and they spent a month talking and texting.

“He said he was a Christian, and just about everything we talked about had to do with God,” Kuhlman said.

Their conversations made her feel comfortable enough to invite him to her apart-

ment on the night before Thanksgiving in 2012 to watch a movie, she said.

During the movie, he tried to kiss her “aggressively” and made a comment about how easy it is to snap someone’s neck, she said. She told the judge that he then raped her in her bedroom, but eventually heeded her demands that he stop and left.

He later texted her saying he got lost to make it seem as if he hadn’t been there, according to Kuhlman.

Normally, the names of sexual assault victims are not revealed in news stories, but Kuhlman said she went public to encourage other women not be afraid to report such crimes.

“I didn’t want other girls to go through this,” she said. “I realized that night that he might have done this to someone else.”

Defense lawyer Brian J. White told reporters the statements of his client’s accusers were in conflict, and he planned to pursue the appeal. A videotaped statement of one of the women was recorded at the La Mesa Police Department, he said.

The judge, however, said he believed that the women’s statements, particularly Kuhlman’s, were consistent throughout the case.

Kuhlman, who contended that one of Banks’ relatives is harassing her family via Facebook, has retained Los Angeles-based women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred to provide advice.

Allred told reporters that any decisions on whether to pursue civil litigation against Banks or Christian Mingle would be made at a later time.

Man who killed mother in SB found to be sane at time App helps connect people to San but could not find the proof that he was legally insane at

BY TERI FIGUEROA AND Dieguito watershed trails and wildlife the time of the attack.

DANA LITTLEFIELD, SPECIAL TO DM TIMES/CV NEWS/SB SUN

A mentally ill man who bludgeoned his mother to death with a hammer in 2010, then partly dismembered her, was legally sane when he committed the crime, a jury found Nov. 6.

Bryan Chang, 33, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the slaying of Sherry Chu Chang, 60. The defendant was arrested in Los Angeles a couple of days after the victim’s body was found in her Solana Beach home.

Because he had already admitted murder, the jury was tasked with deciding whether the defendant — who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia — understood the nature and quality of his acts, and whether he knew it was both legally and morally wrong.

Under the law, the burden is on the defense to prove he was insane when he killed his mother. The legal standard is a finding that he was more likely insane than sane at the moment of the killing. If so, he would be sent to a state mental hospital rather than state prison.

Three jurors said all members of the panel believed Chang is mentally ill,

“We don’t know what happened in that house. We will never know,� said Juror No. 4, who declined to give his name. Without proof, he said, they had to find he was sane. “It was not more likely that he was insane,� the juror said. The panel deliberated about a day and a half before reaching a decision.

The victim’s body was found on a bathroom floor in her home on Santa Florencia off Santa Rosita on Jan. 25, 2010. 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.

Chang made a futile effort to clean up the crime scene before leaving the house and calling a cab to take him back to Los Angeles.

His lawyer, Kathleen Cannon, argued Chang was “very sick� because of his mental illness, and she presented testimony from two psychologists and a psychiatrist who said Chang was insane when he killed his mother. “This verdict doesn’t reflect what happened that day,�

Cannon said Nov. 6. She later added, “Our society has a difficult time understanding mental illness.�

Deputy District Attorney Rachel Solov argued that the evidence showed Chang knew what he was doing when he committed the killing. He’d been involved in a dispute over money with his mother before the murder, and he lied repeatedly to sheriff’s detectives when questioned afterward.

Solov said Sherry Chang’s family was supportive of the prosecution of Bryan Chang. “We are relieved,� the prosecutor said of the verdict. “We believe it is the right thing.�

Chang is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 13. He faces a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While out exploring the San Dieguito watershed, have you ever wondered what you’re looking at? Well, now there’s an app for that.

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s new app allows users to easily navigate trails in the park and identify plants and wildlife. Created by McLeod Media of Encinitas, the app is part of the conservancy’s new Citizen Science Monitoring Program, which encourages public participation in scientific research. “It gets people out there on the trail to be our eyes and ears, and collect data,� said Trish Boaz, executive director of the conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the natural resources of the San Dieguito watershed.

With the help of “citizen scientists,� the project aims to collect field data on mammals, birds and plants on land owned by the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the San Dieguito River Park.

Through the program, the conservancy

hosts events where citizen scientists are guided to collect specific field data. In addition, park visitors are encouraged to use the app to report wildlife sightings. “It brings nature to people, and people to nature,� Boaz said.

The Citizen Science Monitoring Program kicked off in August so the conservancy could collect data and engage the community. The program was made possible by a $40,000 grant from the San Diego Foundation, as well as a $10,000 grant from SDG&E for the development of the app. “We want to be a regional leader in the county,� Boaz said. “We have 55 miles of park here. So we have the unique ability to be the kind of watershed Citizen Science Monitoring Program that other conservancies can emulate. This app can be easily adapted.�

The app is available for download for iPhones at wildsd.org.

Historical Society inching closer to relocation of Alvarado House • Not all Del Mar residents pleased with choice of site, though

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Historical Society has longed to bring Del Mar’s first house back home ever since it was relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds 25 years ago. With the possible relocation of the Alvarado House to Seagrove Park on the Parks and Recreation Committee’s Nov. 12 agenda, the society’s dream could be one step closer to a reality.

“It’s time to move it,” said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society, which has collected, preserved and displayed the city’s historical facts, artifacts and properties since it was founded in 1985. “We’re hoping we can make something happen in the next year or so, but this is Del Mar and nothing goes fast.”

Built in 1885, the Alvarado House was given to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985 when the new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot home sat for a century. It was moved to the city hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989.

Today, the house, which was originally sold for $600, largely remains locked up and unused at the fairgrounds, except when it is open to the public for tours during the annual county fair.

The Del Mar Historical Society has always aimed to relocate the house to Seagrove Park on Coast Boulevard. Although initial efforts failed years ago, Brooks said the society is revisiting the idea because it offers the most potential.

“We know it’s going to be a tough go, but what we like about that idea is that it’s visible,” Brooks said. “It’s a corner in Del Mar where everything happens.”

If the Alvarado House were relocated to Seagrove Park near the Powerhouse Community Center, it would create a historical district, Brooks noted.

The Alvarado House at its present location, the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

“We see it acting as a visitor information center, a museum on Del Mar history,” he said, adding there could be a room for art from local artists and an office space for community services personnel. “Those are the kinds of things that we see — where it’s out in the public, it’s going to be seen and it’s going to be used.”

Other potential sites for the Alvarado House include the Shores property.

The council voted in August 2007 to purchase the $8.5 million property from the school district, with the intent to preserve current open space and recreational uses, continue operation of The Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The city is in the beginning stages of the long-range plan, which will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park along Camino del Mar. Another potential site is the city’s new city hall and civic center. Having just held its third community workshop on the matter, Del Mar is still relatively early in the planning process to replace the deteriorating city hall at 1050 Camino del Mar.

Brooks said the civic center option is better than the Shores option, but neither is the perfect spot like Seagrove Park.

“We plunk it in the park back here, the dog people and the Little League people are going to see it, but nobody else is going to see it,” he said. “It’s out of the fairgrounds — it’s available to us, but there’s no traffic, there’s no visibility.”

Del Mar resident Kay Hansen said she and other community members plan to attend the upcoming Parks and Recreation Committee meeting to protest the possibility of the Alvarado House being relocated to Seagrove Park.

“I have no problem with the Alvarado House coming back to Del Mar, and I’m also very much for the preservation of architecture,” said Hansen, who lives in the condos across from the park. “But for me and others who live in this area, we are against taking away open space. They have

Centennial celebration opens new chapter for Del Mar Library

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Library was established in 1914. That same year, just a few blocks away, St. James Catholic Church opened its doors.

The two institutions eventually came together in 1996, when the library found its permanent home in the former church building at 1309 Camino del Mar. On Nov. 1, the local branch celebrated its centennial, along with the 100-year anniversary of its building.

“This is a perfect place to have the library,” Mayor Lee Haydu said. “I think it’s wonderful, and I’m very proud of the city for backing this. … I know we’re all proud of our community and our library.”

Sitting atop a hill with ocean views, the church building became a community landmark. Parishioners included Hollywood stars Bing Crosby, Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball and Jimmy Durante.

Meanwhile, the Del Mar Library was headquartered in several spots over the years, from area homes to storefronts, including what is now Del Mar Plaza on 15th Street and Camino del Mar. In 1975, the library moved into the trailer behind City Hall.

When the church was relocated to Solana Beach, the building was sold and became a restaurant in 1966. A few decades later, it was home to an insurance company before the city bought the building for $1.2 million in February 1994 to house the library.

The library officially opened in the former church in October 1996.

“Thank you very much for the whole community’s support for this library,” said Pat Freeman, president of Friends of the Del Mar Library, who noted Del Mar resident Chiquita Abbott initially suggested the city use the former church

The Del Mar Library is celebrating its 100th year. as a library. “It just wouldn’t be here without you.”

The library has undergone a few transformations through the years, yet the original church lights still hang from the ceiling.

There used to be an open patio on the building’s south side. When the building’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.

A joint effort among the county, city and the Friends of the Del Mar Library, the branch was also refurbished in the last 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.

A new branch manager has also come on board in the past year. Having worked for the San Diego County Library system for 15 years, Polly Cipparrone was appointed library branch manager after longtime branch manager Gretchen Schmidt retired in January.

“I’m so happy that we’re all here today celebrating two special events that occurred 100 years ago,” said Cipparrone at the event.

About 60 community members marked the branch’s 100-year milestone, including Haydu, Councilman Don Mosier, Councilwoman Sherryl Parks and Councilman Terry Sinnott.

Encinitas Councilwoman Teresa Barth, who grew up in Del Mar, was also in attendance, along with San Diego County Super-

visor Dave Roberts, who presented a proclamation. He and his fellow supervisors declared Nov. 1 “Del Mar Library Centennial Day” throughout the county.

“We just love this building, love this community and want to do all we can for it,” Roberts said.

Celebrating its 100th year, the Del Mar Library stood as strong as ever.

Last year the local branch had the secondhighest circulation per capita in the county library system, which includes 33 branches and two bookmobiles. The branch’s 80,172 visitors checked out 166,396 items.

“You check out a lot of books — you’re readers,” said County Library Deputy Director Donna Ohr. “And a community of readers is a strong community.”

Parent offers success story for helping children with autism

BY JOE TASH To Jason Lu, autism isn’t a disease or condition, but a different way of thinking and communicating.

Or to put it another way, people with autism represent “a different species of human being.”

Lu, 51, a Carmel Valley resident, has a prime vantage point from which to make such observations: His two children, ages 5 and 6, have been diagnosed with “autism spectrum disorder,” which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention defines as a group of several related conditions that “can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.”

In addition, Lu, who holds a doctorate in theoretical physics from Stanford, believes he also is autistic, although he has never been officially diagnosed.

Lu has self-published a book, called “Eikona Bridge,” which details his successful efforts at working with his children to help them develop verbal and social skills. The book is available on Amazon.com, and Lu will give a talk about the book and his experiences on Dec. 6 at the Carmel Valley Library.

Jason Lu According to Lu, people with autism are strongly focused on visual communication skills, and “that’s the way they should be developed.”

Pushing them to develop social and verbal skills before they are ready can actually hamper their progress, he said.

Lu conceded he is not an expert on autism, but merely a parent who wants to share his personal story.

“Professionally, I’m very busy with work,” said Lu, who holds a position as chief scientist with an information technology company. “This is not my job.

Just a success story that I think other parents can benefit from.”

Dr. Suzanne Goh, a Harvard-trained pediatric neurologist who treats children with autism in San Diego, said books such as Lu’s can help families struggling to deal with the condition, as well as practitioners like herself.

“The experiences of individuals with autism and their families is incredibly important in helping us understand how to improve therapies,” Goh wrote in an email. “Because of such reports, we know the great diversity of sensory experiences that are a part of autism.

Any effective treatment approach needs to take this into account.”

In the book, Lu details how he used drawings to communicate with his daughter and help her develop verbal and social skills. The girl is now in first grade and is “mainstreamed,” meaning she attends regular classes and fully participates in all classroom activities.

When it came to his son — who is on the more severe side of the autism spectrum — drawings did not capture his attention, and Lu said he struggled to find a way to relate to the boy.

He hit upon using homemade videos, and that

proved to be a breakthrough.

For example, he wanted to teach his son to call him “papa,” but was unsuccessful until he made a video about a dinosaur family.

“It all changed the day when I understood Ivan: Yes, Ivan was visual, but he was a video-memory person, not a picture-memory person!” Lu wrote in the book, in which he changed his children’s names to protect their privacy. “He learned to look at my drawings, learned to read and learned to call me Papa!”

Lu considers techniques such as the drawings and videos to be “bridges,” which aren’t needed after the autistic person has crossed over them. He said he no longer needs to draw pictures for his daughter, or make videos for his son. Instead, he can talk to both children, or use drawings to aid communication with his son.

The word “Eikona” in the book’s title comes from the Greek word for “image,” said Lu. According to the CDC website, diagnosing autism can be difficult, because there is no medical procedure, such as a blood test, to confirm the condition. In-

stead, doctors rely on behavior and development to make a diagnosis.

The CDC said 1 in 68 children has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, and the number of people being diagnosed is increasing, possibly because of a broader definition of the condition, and better efforts at diagnosis. However, an actual increase in the number of people developing the condition cannot be ruled out, according to the CDC. A number of different approaches are used to treat autism, according to experts.

“Treatment for autism should include a comprehensive medical approach that looks at many different aspects of human biology — neurological, genetic, gastrointestinal, infectious, immune, endocrine, and others,” wrote Goh. “There are many new therapies that are emerging, and one of the most promising areas is in mitochondrial medicine. (Mitochondria are the power plants of animal cells, which turn food into energy.) Medical therapies are aimed at improving the cellular and biochemical environment of the brain so that the mechanisms for

learning can function at their best.

“At present there is a very wide range of outcomes for those with autism. The child’s unique biology is one important factor, and others are the therapies that are used (both medical and behavioral/educational) and how well they are implemented. For the vast majority of children tremendous progress is possible,” she wrote.

Some autistic people need a lot of help in their daily lives, and others need less, said the CDC. While a range of treatments is available, there is no cure.

But Lu said that in talking to adults with autism, he has concluded that most don’t think of it as a problem that needs to be fixed.

“They have different ways of looking at the world,” he said.

“They don’t want to be cured; they don’t think of it as a disease.”

The central message he sought to convey in his book, said Lu, is that “The children are OK. The children are really OK.” For more information on the book, visit www.eikonabridge.com. To contact the CV Library: (858) 5521668.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From a pinball machine to a roller-coaster, 12-year-old Max Pidgeon can build just about anything with K’NEX building toys. A seventh-grader at Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach, the Carmel Valley youth was recently recognized by the public for his creativity and talent, placing first in his age division during the 2015 K’NEXpert Search, an annual, nationwide building contest for children ages 5-12. “It feels pretty cool,� said Max. “I would like to thank all the people who voted for me.�

Max’s 6-foot-tall winning ball machine features 13,000 pieces. “Discombobulation,� along with a variety of his other pieces, can be seen on his YouTube channel “Knexmaster88.� “It turned out really well,� Max said. “I was happy with it.�

Max first learned about K’NEX building toys by watching videos of K’NEX building projects on YouTube. He started building his own pieces at 8 years old.

This is the first time Max entered the contest, and although he placed, he already has his sights on next year. “Next year I hope to bring something bigger and better,� he said.

Good Earth/Great Chefs event features ‘Heritage’ author Brock •Series brings all-star cookbook authors to area

BY KAREN BILLING The Good Earth/Great Chefs series is back at The Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday, Nov. 16, with a book signing with Chef Sean Brock.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. guests are welcome to stop by and purchase a signed copy of Brock’s long-awaited cookbook “Heritage.� The event is free and will feature live music from the bluegrass band Box Canyon and food prepared in tribute to Brock’s Southern cuisine style using Chino-fresh ingredients. Dishes to be sampled on Sunday include creamed corn, pickled green tomato and a special surprise treat. “‘Heritage’ will thrill, surprise and delight as readers discover what rich, glorious and delicious culinary history we once had — and thanks to chefs like Sean, will surely have again,� Chef Anthony Bourdain said in his review of the cookbook. “You too can cook this stuff.

And you should.�

Brock is a favorite among chefs as he seeks to revive what was most beautiful about Southern food. A James Beard Award winner,

Good Earth/Great Chefs is made up of co-founder Nina MacConnel, Jennifer de la Fuente and Adele Irwin, who have brought an all-star lineup of cookbook authors to Chino Farm. Chef Sean Brock, author of ‘Heritage,’ will appear from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. he is the chef behind restaurants Husk in Charleston, South Carolina and Nashville and McCrady’s in Charleston. He recently hosted the second season of the PBS series “Mind of a Chef.� Along with a small group of local historians, plant geneticists and farmers, he is reintroducing dozens of heirloom greens and grains, many of them not tasted since the 1800s. “He’s going back to the Southern traditions and roots and making them alive,� said Nina MacConnel, one of the founders of Good Earth/Great Chefs. “He’s preserving and

reinterpreting heritage foods of the South.�

MacConnel said some the grains he’s bringing back are Carolina Gold Rice, a sweet-flavored long-grain rice; and benne seeds, which were grown in all great Carolina kitchen gardens during the Colonial and Antebellum eras. “He’s promoting the farmers of these greens and grains so it makes it sustainable for them to go back and grow the way it’s supposed to be grown,� MacConnel said. “He’s doing something that’s really different and interesting,� echoed Jennifer de la Fuente of Good Earth/ Great Chefs.

Over the past four years, Good Earth/Great Chefs has brought an all-star lineup of cookbook authors to the farm such as Alice Waters, David Tanis, Jonathan Waxman and Ruth Reichl. They average four events a year.

Good Earth/Great Chefs was founded in 2011 by MacConnel, who is married to Tom Chino, and Milane Christianson, the former owner of the Book Works bookstore in Del Mar. The team also includes de la Fuente and Adele Irwin, who both used to work in

the Book Works with Christianson.

The group wanted to start the cookbook author series after the Book Works closed its doors and no one was bringing these authors to town anymore. Chino’s seemed a natural fit to carry on the tradition. “It has been wonderful to join it up with the farm,�

MacConnel said. “All of the people who come here love food and the conversations are wonderful. The authors always say it’s their favorite book signing they’ve ever done.�

Sadly, Christianson was diagnosed with ALS in 2012 and passed away in April 2013. “She’s a big part of this,� de la Fuente said. “She’s here in spirit.� “She’s our inspiration of how to be booksellers,� MacConnel said. “She had an attitude about business, enjoying it and making it a party.�

The Good Earth/Great Chefs events are always “free-form,� de la Fuente said, more like a party than a structured event. “The events create a real sense of community and a happy feel, which is nice,� said MacConnel.

People can sample foods, listen to live music, chat with the author about recipes and peruse what’s fresh from Chino’s. MacConnel said they have tons of sweet potato and squash right now and that after one of the worst tomato seasons on record, their tomatoes are the best they’ve been all summer — in November.

Every book signing features a pop-up pantry, a small collection of curated items such as wild rice from a Native American reservation in Wisconsin, fine Spanish tuna and Tuscan olive oil, Rigel Stuhmiller dish towels and letterpress cards, Japanese aprons made exclusively for Chino’s, and Omnivore Salt, a special blend made by Angelo Garro based on his grandmother’s recipe from Sicily.

Books can be pre-ordered on the Good Earth/ Great Chefs website, goodearthgreatchefs.com. The Chino Farm is at 6123 Calzada del Bosque.

The next event is scheduled for March 22, 2015 and will feature Chef April Bloomfield, known for her restaurant The Spotted Pig, with her latest cookbook, “A Girl and Her Greens.�

The Futuristiks

The Clever Coders

The Perfect Processors

Torrey Hills robotics students advance to Lego regionals Torrey Hills Robotics teams took part Saturday, Nov. 1 in the First Lego League Qualifying tournament at High Tech High in Point Loma.

Thirty-four students formed six teams and built Lego Mindstorms robots and programmed the robots to carry out several missions. This year’s topic for First Lego League is World Class Learning. The students had to research the topic question “How can we improve the way we learn (blank).”

Students came up with innovative ways to teach different things in the future, using new The Minecrafters technology.

The teams came up with innovative ways to learn to play chess, to train for soccer and basketball, to learn the Order of Operations in Math, to learn to drive a car, and to learn to use a computer.

Students had to run their robot missions on a timed run, they had to do a presentation of their solution to improve the learning of their topic, and they were also judged on First Lego League Core Values, showing how well they worked as a team to solve a problem.

Team Perfect Processors won first in the Presentation section. They impressed the judges in their color-coded outfits explaining a color-coded solving method for the Order of Opera-

The Einsteins

The Crafty Cyborgs

tions in Math. Team Clever Coders won first in the Core Value section, showing the judges how well they worked together as a team, being respectful and kind to each other.

These two teams will advance Dec. 7 to the Southern California Regional Championship round at Legoland. The other four teams will go to Legoland in February 2015 to compete in the First Lego League Cup.

CV Ninja Builders earn spot at First Lego League regional championship For the second consecutive year, the Ninja Builders from Carmel Valley will compete in the First Lego League Southern California Championship at Legoland.

The Ninja Builders — John Aste, Christopher Caligiuri, Sean Cooney, Mason Holst, Woocheol Kim, Nathanael Tran and Nathan Wu — competed against teams from San Diego County in this year’s FLL Challenge at High Tech High School on Nov. 2, and earned a spot in the FLL Southern California Championship.

The FLL Challenge is a three-part competition, and this year’s theme is World Class Learning. The first part of the competition is a project requiring the team to pick a topic the team is interested in and identify ways to improve learning the topic.

The second part is a robot challenge requiring the team to build and program an autonomous robot to complete missions highlighting the many ways people learn in today’s global classroom. The third part is to demonstrate core values emphasizing teamwork, cooperation, gracious professionalism and friendly competition.

Besides earning a spot in the Southern California Championship, The Ninja Builders’ project was awarded first place in the FLL Challenge. As a group of musicians, the Ninja Builders chose music as their topic. Their project is a blueprint for an app to enhance a musician’s practice by allowing him or her to log practice time, collaborate remotely with a teacher and earn rewards for meeting practice goals.

The Ninja Builders, sponsored by ViaSat and Qualcomm, will compete in the FLL Southern California Championship on Dec. 6 at Legoland.

Torrey Pines High School Foundation plans celebration of 40th anniversary The Torrey Pines High School Foundation 40-year Celebration Committee is in the early planning stages for the annual online silent auction and fundraiser to be held Saturday, March 28, 2015 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach.

Committee members will be canvassing the community, reaching out to individuals and businesses to secure sponsors for the event as well as donated items to be auctioned to raise money for the TPHS Foundation’s “Support All Students” fund. This year’s focus is to equip 100 classrooms with LCD projectors.

“We are determined to make this the biggest and most successful fundraiser to date,” states Bobbi Karlson, executive director of the foundation. “We are striving to break attendance records for this event by not only reaching out to our current families, but TPHS alums as well.”

According to Helen Nordan, event chairwoman, “We are excited to announce the high-energy band The Detroit Underground will be back again this year, and we have hired professional auctioneer Steve Hamann for our live auction that evening. “ KUSI’s Sandra Maas will emcee the event, and Resurrection Radio, a local classic alternative cover band with two TPHS Class of 1986 alums, including TPHS assistant principal Rob Coppo, will also perform that

evening.

“This is our largest fundraiser of the year and it is both a wonderful social evening for our guests as well as a valuable tool for raising critical funds for our school and our students” Nordan said.

The kickoff event is “Toast to Forty,” which will be held at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe in January 2015. For information on the events or to donate, contact the TPHS Foundation at 858-793-3551 or email holly.coughlin@sduhsd.net.

Alums and parents are encouraged to follow the TPHS Foundation on Facebook or Twitter for up to date information.

Torrey Pines High School, the largest high school in the San Dieguito Union High School District, opened its doors in 1974.

Since that time, TPHS has consistently earned local and national acclaim for both academics and athletics. “As a school community, we truly have so much to celebrate,” Karlson said.

The TPHS Foundation is a 501(c)3 corporation founded in 1993 that not only raises funds for state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge programs to promote personal social growth, leadership and independence for all students, but also acts as the umbrella organization for parent volunteers and provides support for all booster groups on campus.

Awesome Return wins Let It Ride stakes

BY KELLEY CARLSON In the featured race Saturday, Nov. 8, at Del Mar, favorite Awesome Return rallied past competitors in the stretch and pulled away to win the $93,100 Let It Ride Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths.

He was followed by Number Five, who was a head in front of Cabral. The 3-yearold Awesome Return, ridden

by Mike Smith, covered the 1-mile distance over the turf course in 1:34.55.

“This was my first time on him, so I really didn’t know what to expect,” Smith said. “But (trainer) Mike (Puype) told me he had a really good turn of foot and that I could count on it. I might have cut him loose sooner than I should have because he was lagging back there, but in the end it didn’t matter. He was just better than all of them today.”

Awesome Return is owned by Richard Kritski of Santa Monica.

Favorite Awesome Return pulled away in the stretch to win the $93,100 Let It Ride Stakes on Nov. 8.

The first weekend of Del Mar’s fall meet concluded with a win by Reddam Racing’s More Complexity in the $100,000 Betty Grable Stakes for older California-bred fillies and mares. She was piloted by six-time British riding champion Kieren Fallon, who is competing at Del Mar for the first time.

When compared with the opening weekend of the now-shuttered Hollywood Park’s fall meet, attendance and handle were both up. After three days, the total of fans was 29,076, as opposed to Hollywood’s 10,344. And Del Mar’s on-track handle averaged $1,249,348 per day, as opposed to Hollywood’s $834,298, an increase of 49.7 percent.

Torrey Hills Planning Board announces Nov. 13 agenda The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board will consider these matters at its next meeting, 6:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at Ocean Air Recreation Center, 4770 Fairport Way, San Diego: 1) whether to approve construction of a recreation center in the Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park; 2) whether to approve construction of a modified enhancement project by the Urban Corps at East Ocean Air and Corte Jardin del Mar; 3) whether to remove parking and create bike lanes on West Ocean Air between Ocean Bluff and Via Cangrejo.

Del Mar Powerhouse 10U Champions in TCS Powerhouse 10U boys earned their second championship in a row last weekend in the TCS San Diego Showdown. The boys earned the No. 1 seed after pool play, outscoring opponents 26-4. After a late run by their opponents in the semifinal game, the Powerhouse boys found themselves down by two runs in the bottom of the last inning, when Clark Caspersen hit a walkoff base hit to get the team to the championship game. The excitement continued as the boys battled to a one-run victory to bring home the championship.

Letters to the editor/opinion

Viewpoint from a driver who is also a cyclist I understand some folks’ frustration with cyclists here on the road, since I am a cyclist and a driver. I am surprised to learn that cyclists had a particular attitude. I am also intrigued about how anyone would know what that attitude is.

For the most part and considering the amount of bikes on the road, few riders are problem riders. In fact, compared with the way folks drive both autos and motorcycles, and the unpredictable nature of pedestrians, cyclists are a very minor problem. Much like pedestrians, cyclists are not likely to seriously injure anybody other than themselves, while autos, trucks and motorcycles regularly cause major injuries and property damage.

In reality, cyclists are a minor nuisance which may slow a motorist’s progress from time to time, much like a slow truck or a tractor on the road. There are few accidents caused by cyclists, and most of the danger of cycling is to the riders themselves, not to others. Most regular riders understand this and take precautions.

If drivers would treat cyclists like other slow vehicles and give them the room and the respect they require, most of the danger to cyclists would be alleviated. Unfortunately, a sizable portion of drivers treat cyclists, as I said, like a nuisance. That results in many drivers coming way too close to riders, some purposely and needlessly, causing accidents and rider injuries. That is why the state required drivers to give cyclists 3 feet clearance.

As to why a rider isn’t always in the designated bike lane, there could be many reasons for this, but for the most part, it is due to the condition of the bike lanes and the roads. The next most likely reason is that cyclists prefer not to get blindsided by opening car doors.

Lastly, no car should have to swerve because of a cyclist. If you’re driving a safe speed and giving a cyclist the same respect you would give any vehicle on the road, along with 3 feet clearance, there should be no need to swerve. You may have to wait a few moments to pass the cyclist, but what is a few seconds compared to hitting a cyclist or another vehicle? If you find you often have to swerve while driving, you should examine you driving habits — you are a danger to everyone.

Many workshop participants favored fourth option for city hall The report “Workshop Yields ‘Split Decision’ on Elements of Del Mar City Hall” (DMT Oct. 30) was a useful and informative summary of the recent citizens workshop held on Oct. 29.

The report is correct that initially the attendees were asked to focus on three concepts: 1) A “basic” option that would call for the use of the city space for only municipal buildings and a plaza coupled with an underground parking facility; 2) The use of the City Hall space for civic buildings and some commercial development and an underground parking facility; 3) a mixture of civic buildings together with commercial development plus private housing and an underground parking facility.

However, what the DMT report failed to emphasize is that at the request of numerous attendees, triggered by a petition from Dave Druker signed by 40 citizens, the three original alternatives to which participants were asked to express their preference were expanded at the meeting to include a fourth option — the use of the City Hall property for only municipal buildings, including a new city hall and space for a farmers market with only surface parking — i.e., without the addition of an underground parking area.

As reported by the DMT, 26 participants expressed a preference for a development that would include municipal buildings, commercial development and some residential housing.

Two persons expressed a preference for a mixed-use development excluding commercial. In contrast to an such expanded use of the property, a total of 36 participants expressed a preference for a development restricted to municipal purposes, plus an area that would accommodate a farmers market. Of the 36 preferring solely a municipal area, 21 preferred such development to be accompanied by an underground parking area for 100 vehicles.

At the same time, 15 of those preferring use of the land for only municipal buildings expressed the view that additional underground parking was not needed or would unnecessarily increase the cost of the development without sufficient benefit to the community.

In any event, aside from the differences as to the scope of parking facilities, a clear majority at the meeting expressed a preference for the development of a new city hall complex without commercial or private housing.

Now is the time to voice concern over church project I read in the Nov. 6 issue of the Del Mar Times that the San Diego Planning Commission had unanimously approved a church with a 93-foot-high cross, 350-seat sanctuary, and 500-seat multipurpose hall, and numerous other structures, to be built off of El Camino Real that will be visible from Interstate 5, and the San Dieguito Lagoon.

The article said that the last step for the church to be built is approval from the Coastal Commission. This new church project is going to dwarf the church (which had the height of its buildings limited to around 30 feet) that is located immediately to the west of it.

Of course, the church is going to add to the traffic congestion to Del Mar Heights Road, and where El Camino Real joins Via de la Valle, depending on what activities it has during the weekdays, especially on weekends, probably. Additionally, it may have an affect on the esthetics of the San Dieguito Lagoon I wonder whether those people who are going to be the church’s next-door neighbors, and those who objected so much to the One Paseo Project, know about this. The article mentioned that the Carmel Valley Community Board voted 6-4 to approve the project.

However, the board has 16 voting members, and 6-4 is not a majority, and is counted as a no vote.

I believe that this is the time to let the Coastal Commission, and the other voting members of the Carmel Valley Community Board know, if you have any concerns.

Footnotes to a midterm election

BY GORDON CLANTON The State of San Diego. In response to an unsuccessful proposal to split California into six states, I joked (July 31) that perhaps we should declare each of California’s 58 counties to be a state. If San Diego County were a state, and if voters faced our Nov. 4 ballot, who would win?

Democratic Governor Jerry Brown (who carried California by 17 points) wins the State of San Diego by two. Dem Treasurer John Chiang (with a 16-point margin in California) carries San Diego by two. All other San Diego state offices would go to Republicans.

And, in the two-Dem race for school superintendent, corporate-backed privatizer Marshall Tuck would have trounced incumbent Tom Torlakson.

Back in California, Democrats won every state office — and Torlakson beat Tuck. Final returns may change some outcomes.

Status quo ante. So although the city of San Diego has had a Democratic majority since the 1980s and San Diego County has had a narrow Dem majority in recent years, San Diego remains the most conservative metro area in coastal California. Dem Congressman Scott Peter’s narrow re-election only holds a seat first won in 2012.

After the recent political storms, the city of San Diego is about where it was before the 2012 election of Bob Filner — with a genial “moderate” and very business-friendly Republican mayor (Kevin Faulconer) and a 5-4 Dem council majority. The 2016 District 1

race, with Dem Sherri Lightner termed out, will determine whether the council flips to a 5-4 GOP advantage.

Follow the money.

Proposition 45 would have required that the insurance commissioner approve health insurance rates. California auto and home insurance companies have been required to justify rate hikes since 1988, resulting in huge savings for policyholders.

Early polling showed Prop 45 supported by 69 percent of likely voters.

The big health insurance companies spent $43 million. Their message was: “It’s too much power to give one politician.” So Prop 45 was defeated by 19 points, leaving health-insurance rate decisions in the hands of the big health insurance companies.

Election follies. Unsuccessful Sweetwater school board candidate Dana Toogood (whose name is too good to be true) offered free Subway sandwiches to voters. When told this was illegal, Toogood said, “Holy cow, thanks for telling me.”

Toogood’s husband said he had heard of Starbuck’s giving away coffee and Krispy Kreme giving away doughnuts, so he didn’t think there was an issue.

NORTH COAST - NOVEMBER 13, 2014 - PAGE A19

Education Matters/Opinion Election wrap-up — teachers union in descent?

BY MARSHA SUTTON Barbara Groth’s surprising loss for re-election to Marsha Sutton her fifth term on the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Education, and incumbent Amy Herman’s lackluster third-place finish, may signify that a union endorsement might not be such a great thing.

Incumbent (and perpetual Groth irritant) John Salazar finished strongly in second, while challenger Mo Muir bested them all. Neither Salazar nor Muir even sought the teachers union endorsement.

Muir, a current Encinitas Union School District board member, ran a strong campaign based on her message that the current San Dieguito board consistently fails to listen to parents.

In the Oct. 16 issue of this newspaper, all seven SDUHSD candidates were asked the same questions.

Their answers were revealing.

When asked to identify the biggest issues facing the district, Muir let loose with both barrels: “Fiscal accountability, a lack of transparency, a lack of responsiveness to the parents and students, misplaced curriculum priorities, and a lack of focus on successful student performance.”

Muir, a Republican, will be missed by many parents in Encinitas who regarded her as a voice for their concerns and one who kept a sharp eye on the bottom line. Her vocal objections to the Encinitas district’s costly, and now infamous, Palm Springs retreat made her a favorite among fiscal conservatives, like Salazar.

When Republicans are elected to school boards, social liberals sit up and take notice, with valid concerns about stealth candidates promoting personal rightwing social agendas.

However, in her six years on the Encinitas school board, Muir has not demonstrated any interest in pursuing such issues – unless you count the motivation to keep costs in check.

Salazar, also a Republican, shares Muir’s fiscal concerns and during his first term showed a complete disregard for controversial conservative agendas – unless you count the motivation to keep costs in check.

Just elected to his sec-

ond term, Salazar is clearly persona non grata for Groth who at board meetings could barely hide her contempt for him. His crime?

Not always voting with the board majority.

All votes in the last four years have been either 5-0 or 4-1, with Salazar the lone nay vote.

Groth was so anxious to rid the board of Salazar that she wrote in the Oct. 16 issue, “Our district deserves a board where all five members put students first when making decisions.”

Her comment was clearly meant to convey her desire for a 5-0 rubber-stamp board. Apparently, a 4-1 board wasn’t good enough.

And if you had the nerve to vote against the board majority on occasion, you weren’t putting students first.

Hardly embarrassed by this, Salazar wrote in the Oct. 16 candidate questionnaire, “It is important that while we continue to improve the district’s performance, it is also important that there be someone on the board who will also be watchful that the district spends its resources wisely. I am that person.”

Salazar also wrote, “I don’t believe you elected me to be a rubber stamp. I believe the district is better as a result of a free and open discussion of all issues.”

Contributing to the negative response to the candidacies of Groth and Herman may have been the board’s approval just before the election of a much-criticized contract for a task force facilitator at the outrageous price of $350 per hour, with no not-to-exceed ceiling nor a contract expiration date.

The contract, for Leonard Steinberg of the Creative Alliance Group of Encinitas, was recommended by staff and was approved 4 to 1, with only Salazar opposed.

The union label The third candidate endorsed by San Dieguito’s teachers union, Simeon Greenstein, came in fifth.

Greenstein is a former teacher in the district.

The union wasn’t alone in endorsing the slate of three. Also on the bandwagon were Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer, SDUHSD trustees re-elected to their seats in 2012.

Clearly, union backing did not help, and quite possibly hurt. One union leader once told me he wanted to keep a low profile of union endorsements. As he said,

“People love their teachers but aren’t so crazy about their union.”

An astute observation.

As an aside, Bob Croft, head of the San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDUHSD’s teachers union), told me in an interview before the election that only four of the seven candidates sought the union endorsement. So the recommendation from the union was for three out of four, not three out of seven.

The fourth candidate seeking union support was Rimga Viskanta, who offered a refreshing observation that she “would like to see at least one member of the board be someone with children still in the district,” as she wrote in the Oct. 16 issue.

Viskanta also espoused the view that term limits may be needed on school boards. With Groth running for her fifth term and Dalessandro in the middle of her fifth term, the point is welltaken. Career politicians on school boards cease to provide historical relevance after eight or at most 12 years.

Viskanta was brave (or naïve?) to seek the union endorsement when it was a foregone conclusion that the union would support Greenstein, Groth and Herman.

Croft did say that Viskanta was an outstanding individual – engaging and insightful. He said the 13 members of his executive board, who interviewed the four candidates at length, felt comfortable with her and could work with her had she been elected. But they unanimously preferred the two incumbents and former teacher.

Croft, now in his 35th year in the district, is not one to vilify. As head of the SDFA for so long he can’t remember, Croft has established one of the least adversarial relationships with management of any union in the county. For that he is to be commended.

Croft and his organization, which represents about 600 teachers, work amiably with district staff on issues of relevance to both parties.

There have been sticking points, of course. But overall, the relationship has been a model of civility, thanks in large part to the years of cooperation between Croft and former associate superintendent of human resources Terry King.

This laid the foundation for reciprocal respect for mutual interests.

Jobs for life Teachers unions do a good job advocating for their members – i.e., teachers. And when unions endorse, they are supporting, in essence, their bosses, the people who control their salaries and benefits.

Sometimes teacher, student, parent and taxpayer interests intersect, but often they do not. What’s good for teachers is not always good for students and the public – or for education policy, which is in desperate need of serious reform.

With the growing realization that teachers unions represent the status quo and actively oppose many changes that would benefit students, many voters are seeing candidates endorsed by unions as ones to avoid.

It’s undeniable that there is growing enthusiasm for fundamental systemic change in education policy that so often benefits teachers at the expense of poor and disenfranchised students. The best example is the recent Vergara vs. the state of California case.

Or look to Michelle Rhee, former chancellor of the Washington, D.C., public school system, which has the dubious distinction as being one of the worst-performing of any in the country.

Rhee, in her well-documented frustration with her union’s intransigence, at one point offered her teachers double their salaries (well into six figures) in exchange for union protection that guaranteed a job for life.

The deal meant that teachers would have to perform their jobs well to keep their jobs, just like all other non-union workers, but would be paid handsomely for their efforts if they demonstrated skill and commitment.

They turned her down.

No one deserves a job for life that is not dependent upon performance. Good teachers who have to carry the load of poorly-performing teachers often agree. So do many young, eager teachers who are the first to be fired or laid off in hard times, due to rules that protect seniority regardless of ability.

Anyone who believes unions have too much power is commonly labeled no friend of local schools. Anyone who questions how public money is being spent is said to be not putting students first.

But supporting education does not mean support-

ing everything a school board or its superintendent does.

And opposing particularly egregious union policies does not mean one is “anti-teacher.”

Union supporters and school board members under the union spell get mileage by perpetuating these false links.

In fact, a case can be made that those who support the status quo are the real ones who erect roadblocks to improvements in the quality of education.

More and more people are discovering that the strongest advocates for much-needed education reform are those who respect the hard work of excellent teachers, are suspicious of non-negotiable union rules, are mindful of the way taxpayer money is spent, and support school board members who refuse to play politics with student learning.

It will be Democrats’ undoing if they continue to blindly support teachers unions. And it will be Republicans’ undoing if they don’t stop supporting radical conservatives with 18th-century notions about science, health, free speech and civil rights.

Finding school board candidates who pay attention to the bottom line and oppose traditional union sacred cows like seniority rights and tenure, but who don’t carry a conservative social agenda into the classroom, is the challenge.

If you find one, glom on.

WATER continued from page 1

report, the Rainbow Municipal Water District near Fallbrook was the second-largest water user locally with 428.6 gallons daily per capita in September, followed by Oceanside at 303.48 gallons; the Valley Center Municipal Water District at 271.8 gallons; and Poway at 204 gallons.

The San Dieguito Water District, which serves Encinitas, was at 154 gallons; and the city of San Diego, which has also enacted mandatory water restrictions, was at 81.83 gallons.

The figures did not take into account population density, population growth, temperature and evaporation rates, topography and socio-economic measures, according to the water board.

SFID General Manager Michael Bardin said the irrigation district “has reduced its overall potable water demand by over 20 percent since 2007 to its current annual consumption of approximately 11,000 acrefeet.

“This has been accomplished through public education, conservation program incentives and rebates, and the conversion of large irrigation users to recycled water supplies,” he said.

The SFID is “on target to meet state mandated per capita water usage reduction targets, as part of California’s overall water management plan,” Bardin said. “As a result of the ongoing drought and emergency water conservation measures

mandated (by the state board), Santa Fe Irrigation District elevated its response under its Water Shortage Response Plan to a Level 2 Condition, implementing mandatory water use restrictions, including restrictions on outdoor water irrigation.’’

State water board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus said release of the water use data, “which is a first for the state, will inform localized conservation efforts and should start conversations in every community in California about the best and most judicious use of our precious water.

“Every gallon saved today postpones the need for more drastic, difficult and expensive action should the drought continue into next year or beyond,” she said.

State water board officials said the statewide conservation rate leveled off in September, after three months of improvements.

The total urban water conservation rate across California dropped slightly to 10.3 percent in September.

The per capita daily water use figures were reported by nearly 400 urban water agencies statewide as a requirement of the Emergency Water Conservation Regulation adopted by the state Water Board in July.

The figures varied widely, with the San Francisco Bay region averaging 85.2 gallons per person per day and Colorado River region using around 251.9 gallons per person per day, according to the state water board.

Post-Halloween candy haul comes in for troops Dr. Curtis Chan’s Candy Buy Back program brought in 5,344 pounds of candy for the troops this year. Chan’s sixth year of the candy exchange program toppled last year’s total of 3,542 pounds collected. In addition to candy, the Chans also had donations of 285 Beanie Babies, and children wrote 1,358 cards and letters to the troops.

Representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps were at the Chans’ office in Del Mar on Friday, Nov. 7, as children came in to exchange bags of treats for dollar bills.

If children didn’t come with a letter ready, a table was set up to write a note to a military member. Read one: “Each soldier is a color of the rainbow. They are all different fighting for the same cause.”

Contributors this year included Santa Fe Christian School (who contributed a leading 733 pounds of candy), The Cambridge School, Solana Highlands Elementary, Solana Ranch Elementary, Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Solana Beach Storage and UHaul, Jeff and Jer Showgram KYXY 96.5, Seacoast Community Church, Light of Love Photography, Ralphs Encinitas and Ralphs La Jolla Village.

At the Nov. 5 meeting, Nancy Hand from the League of Women Voters said they worked very hard to get Prop A passed, and while they appreciate the efforts being made by developers Milan Capital to fit into the community, if the project is denser than what is allowed in the zone, it needs to go to a vote of the people.

“We will be watching,” Hand said.

the first race of the fall on the new and improved turf course, and it and the remaining two turf races went off without incident. All races did.

Jockey Tyler Baze won two races, the first on Wild Caroline for Mike Puype, and the sixth on Up the Alley ($6) for trainer Ron Ellis.

Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith also won two, back-to-back, with Ashleyluvssugar for Peter Eurton in the seventh, and with Irishbred Queen of the Sand in the $75,000 Kathryn Crosby Stakes for trainer Patrick Gallagher and owner Derrick Fisher in the eighth.

“It’s a good strange,” Smith said when asked if it felt strange to be at Del Mar In 2012, the San Diego Planning Commission weighed in, finding in favor of the developers that a continuing care facility is consistent with an “intermediate care facility,” a use that was allowed in the zone before 1984 and should be allowed without a vote, only a land development code amendment.

At the time, the Carmel Valley planning board strongly disagreed with that finding, as do many of the stakeholder groups now.

The meeting grew heated several times between the developers and the 14 community members present, especially on the topic of the amount of fill that will be required to lift the project out of the floodplain.

When it rains, the entire site fills with water.

Some areas are 14 feet below the 100-year floodplain, and residents wanted

ALVARADO in November. “It’s laid-back and kind of happy. Sun is nice and warm. It’s going to be big.”

Smith praised the turf course in the summer and was equally high on it in the fall.

“The grass is brilliant,” Smith said. “It was unfortunate to have horses hurt on it earlier in the year. I thought it was in really, really good shape in the summer. And now it’s even better. To me it’s one of the best grass courses I’ve ever been on. You don’t even hear anything out there. It’s like racing with earplugs.”

For more information on the Bing Crosby Season, visit www.dmtc.com. to know just how much fill was going to be brought in to elevate the project.

Subcommittee co-chair Jan Fuchs said that the fill is a very big concern for the group.

“I assume the desire is to keep the fill as low as possible,” said project architect Greg Irwin of Irwin Partners. “There’s more than one way to keep a project out of a floodplain … there’s options on the table.”

Nichelson said the new project is not the same as the one proposed in the past several years. They are “starting from scratch” and working with the community to come up with a viable plan.

Irwin said since Milan has taken control of the senior facility project this year, they plan to start with the concept of an idea, see where it sits with the com-

continued from page 5 other options.”

Hansen launched a petition and has collected about 50 signatures from people against the Alvarado House at Seagrove Park. She plans to present the petition at the meeting Nov. 12.

“One should have a voice,” Hansen said. “We’re just trying to make people aware of it so they have a choice.”

But Brooks said the Del Mar Historical Society has made an effort to make the community aware, calling for public feedback in the Del Mar Times and other local papers. To date, he said

munity and move forward with the best possible project. They wanted to know what the surrounding residents find to be more intensive use — a bigger footprint or bigger buildings?

Architect Irwin said they were asked to create a project that better matched the surrounding community — low density and larger estate homes that will preserve sightlines and blend into the area.

To reduce the impact on the community, they plan to create a tree-lined frontage and entryway with a two-story independent living facility, a one-story assisted living facility and a one-story memory care unit.

Previous plans were denser, with 225 units spread out in casitas; the new plans call for 150 to 160 units.

Bret Bernard, Milan’s director of planning and development, said they are

he has received just seven emails or letters, one in favor of the historical house at Seagrove Park and six against.

“You’re not losing a lot of open space and it’s in a corner of the park that virtually never gets used,” said Brooks, who noted that the 28-foot-by-28-foot-house would sit on the southeast corner of the park.

The Del Mar Historical Society has about $57,000 earmarked for the project.

Pro bono architects and engineers have estimated the relocation and construction would cost approximately $250,000, if the house were moved to the Shores proper-

hoping the density and square footage will mix into the community, as they have tucked it back into the small hillside.

The proposed entry to the project is at the traffic signal at northbound El Camino Real.

The western part of the property close to the El Camino Real/Via de la Valle intersection would be left as open space, not to be developed.

Some neighbors questioned whether the open space would make more sense on the eastern side of the property, closest to the homes, leaving the western end with the much more intensive development.

Irwin said they chose to put the development on the eastern end because it will look much less dense.

Neighbor Cory Hao said the proposed project is not much different from the previous plan because

ty, Brooks said.

Because the house would be located on a slope at the Shores property, the Del Mar Historical Society would need to build a basement for the house, which would be used as an atmospheric-controlled storage room. The relocation would cost significantly less if the house were moved to Seagrove Park or the civic center space, he said.

it is still urban in character and scale and is still a use that is not permitted for this site.

“The land needs to feel like open space and feel like a relief from urbanization,” said subcommittee co-chair Anne Harvey. “You should still get the feeling of relief when you pass that property.”

Residents asked whether different uses, such as equestrian uses, had been considered for the site.

Bernard said they did look at equestrian use on the site, but it would still require about four to five buildings and amounted to about the same amount of density as is being proposed.

“We feel that the (senior facility) use is needed in the community and is a complement to what’s already there,” Bernard said.

“We think this is a good use for the community.”

Torrey Pines Falcons complete a perfect season.

TPHS Falcons cap perfect season with win over LCC

BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines freshmen finished a perfect 10-0 season with a 24-7 win over rival La Costa Canyon.

Sully O’Brien set the tone for the night, returning the opening kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown. The LCC Mavericks fumbled on their first play and the Falcons threatened againbefore returning the fumble on the LCC 15.

Torrey Pines’ defense held with a third-down stop by Matthew Goena. The Falcons mixed it up on the next series from their 41 with O’Brien running inside, O’Brien running outside, and O’Brien on the swing pass, so the Mavericks were caught by surprise when O’Brien blew past the defenders on a fly route to catch the touchdown pass. Torrey Pines 14-0.

Jack Nelson made an interception to set up Torrey Pines on the LCC 32, but the Mavericks held on fourth and 1. Accurate passing, designed runs and scrambling by LCC quarterback Jake Neufeld drove them to the Falcon 28, where on fourth down, Zach Friedland broke into the backfield right when the handoff was made for a loss. With 2:09 left in the half, an LCC drive was halted on a sack by Cleo Baker and a pass batted down by Parker Williams.

LCC drove the second half kickoff 51 yards, only to come up short on fourth and inches. Torrey Pines couldn’t move the ball and their punt was blocked, giving the Mavericks another chance from the Falcon 26. LCC scored on a quarterback keep to come within seven. Their onside kick was recovered by Peter Nelson, and the Falcons started from the 48.

Friedland ran for 4 on a crucial fourth and 2, and O’Brien caught two passes to move to the 10 where the drive stalled and Conner Nichols’ field goal made the score 17-7 early in the 4th quarter.

The Mavericks moved the ball again and had first and goal at the Falcon 1. But a pass was batted down by Spencer Grant, a pass fell incomplete on pressure from Louis Bickett, and Max Myrhum recovered a fumble on the 7. Then on third and 3, O’Brien took a pitch, juked a tackler, and sprint-

Rugby becomes newest sport on TPHS campus

BY TIM PICKWELL Local schoolboy rugby continues its evolution, as the former off-campus club sport has become the newest sport offered by Torrey Pines High School.

“Rugby is coming on campus for the upcoming 2014-2015 winter season,” confirmed TPHS Boy’s Athletic Director Matt Livingston. “What that means is the club sport is being supported and operated under the direction of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, and with the help of my office.”

The move is part of an arms race that saw Cathedral Catholic bring its program fully on campus a few seasons back, while La Costa Canyon’s rugby program is now operating under the auspices of the principal’s office. The Carmel Valleybased San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club had previously registered players and managed the “Torrey Pines” high school season. But, those junior varsity and varsity clubs were only loosely affiliated with the school, played only an occasional match on campus, and allowed players from other high schools that did not offer rugby to participate.

“Now,” says Livingstone, “the program must abide by and strictly follow all CIF Green Book rules.

While CIF has nothing to do with rugby, and doesn’t recognize rugby as a high school sport, the same rules

and by laws followed by all CIF sports will be governing rugby during this season, and for years to come.”

San Diego Mustangs Rugby Club President David Pool, who also coaches varsity backs, called this a significant move. “This legitimizes rugby at Torrey Pines High School.

It provides an extra sport for students to experience with their school mates, and it provides the team greater access to more players.”

The program will debut on campus with an estimated 60-70 players spread over the junior varsity and varsity teams.

“We are expecting a big turnout,” said Livingston, “which will make rugby a top tier sport on campus. Football, track, swimming and lacrosse have large teams as well, but rugby will be right up there with them.”

The JV and Varsity teams will still compete in the Southern California Youth Rugby League, which divides high school teams into three divisions: Red (single school); White (80 percent of players from one school); and Blue (newer programs). Last year, Torrey Pines’ JV and Varsity swept the White Division championships, while Cathedral’s Varsity won the Red. This season, Torrey Pines, Cathedral and LCC will all compete in the Red Division.

“The opportunity for TPHS to have a rugby team on campus is mostly due to the interest, support and enthusiasm of the many coaches, parents, and players in the community,” said Livingston. “We are very fortunate to have a solid foundation and professional coaches who know the safety and skills needed to gain the trust of the community, and turn out consistent, fun and successful seasons. They have been doing this for a long time, and our school sees it as a good fit to be included in what they have built, and to carry it forth under the Falcon banner. We look forward to a fine season with our rugby athletes, and can’t wait to watch them play.”

Organizing the Varsity will be Matty Sandoval, a former USD Rugby All-American player, and a long-time coach with the Mustangs.

“We had a great turnout at our initial team meeting,” says Sandoval. “Many familiar faces like returning high school All-American Toran Raby, and stalwart flanker Mason O’rosky, but many new faces as well that I attribute to rugby being a ‘letter’ sport for the first time at Torrey Pines. This season looks to be very special, and I think we’ll have just the team to make the school proud.”

The Falcon rugby players will participate in a tournament the weekend of Dec. 6-7, and then open with their first match, at Ed Burke Stadium on campus, against St. Augustine on Friday, Dec. 19.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With an interest in brain health and fitness, Pete Glaser began attending the Brain Fitness Program at Del Mar Community Connections. The program participant quickly became an active volunteer, managing the program for the past four years.

For his commitment and contributions, the Del Mar resident was recently recognized as the organization’s Volunteer of the Year.

“Pete is one of those people who just gives and gives and gives, and doesn’t expect anything in return,” said Jenelle Zingg, program director of Del Mar Community Connections, a volunteer-driven organization providing programs and services that allow aging residents to live safely, vibrantly and independently in their homes. “He treats his volunteer role like a job, and definitely a job he enjoys. He’s proud of the program, and wants the participants to be successful and have a good experience.”

Born on the East Coast, Glaser grew up in Los Angeles.

In 1944, he was drafted into the military, shortly after he turned 18. Originally based in Honolulu, Glaser served as an electronic technician in the Navy, also working on a ship off the coast of the Philippines, Okinawa and Japan during his three years in the military.

After the war, Glaser went to college and then worked in the computer industry for about 45 years.

Glaser moved to Del Mar 30 years ago, where he has been active in the community ever since. He is a

Pete Glaser volunteer with the Friends of the Del Mar Library and the Del Mar Historical Society. He also helped relaunch the Del Mar Television Foundation in 1999. Del Mar Community Connections was founded the same year, and Glaser produced a video on the beginning of the organization called “The New Face of Aging.”

Developed by Posit Science from work at UC San Francisco, the Brain Fitness Program is designed to improve thinking, understanding and memory in senior citizens. Exercises are done on a computer in a classroom for one hour three times a week. The program is self-paced and adjusts to each individual’s abilities and needs.

Classes are offered in the fall and spring, said Glaser, who added he enjoys volunteering because program participants say, “it does them good.”

“The Brain Fitness Program is like going to the gym for your brain,” he said.

“You can train it no matter how old you are.”

The message around the Torrey Pines High School gym was clear: “Open wings, open mind, open heart.”

The open and honest message was part of the inaugural FalconFest, a “transformational” four-day event that encouraged students to be respectful, aware and real, and to promote a kinder campus — a school environment based on understanding and acceptance.

For several years, Torrey Pines had Challenge Days presented by facilitators from Challenge Day, a company based out of Concord.

The program cost about $25,000 to bring to the school, and administrators had been looking for a way to produce the positive event on their own, tapping teacher and Peer Assistant Listeners program adviser Don Collins.

The result was four packed sessions with lots of hugs, lots of tears and lots of important sharing and acceptance.

“We wanted to tailor the event to not just address the overall issues teens face in high school, like feeling alone or peer pressure, but to also address some of the Torrey Pines-specific issues, like stress and being a new international student, with a message that is from the students of Torrey Pines themselves,” said Collins, who led the event with Terry Hendlin, the mother of two TPHS alumni.

“A lot of parents said it was more powerful to do it in-house. Kids got involved right away and were sharing more.”

Senior Madison Lombard has attended Challenge Day and FalconFest all four years. “This day was amazing because of the trust in the room,” she said. “I really felt safe to be me. It wasn’t just the FalconFest, it was the FalconBest!”

Collins said FalconFest would not have been possi-

Solana Beach Holiday Boutique is Nov. 15; event helps fulfill community wish list

Across county and U.S., aspiring DJs dream of electronic success

BY ROB LEDONNE When Del Mar resident Chris Pittard was in middle school, he had a transformative experience.

“I saw (the DJ) Skrillex, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever,” he remembered. “When I got home, I did some research on the internet about how to be a DJ and ordered a cheap pair of turntables.”

Pittard, a 2014 graduate of Torrey Pines High School, isn’t alone. As electronic Del Mar’s Chris Pittard, seen here DJing at a recent dance music continues to ex- show, plans to pursue business and music at USC this plode in popularity, across spring. Courtesy photo North County — and the country — more and more young people are inspired by the massive success of EDM acts such as Skrillex, Calvin Harris, or 18-year-old Martin Garrix, and pursuing dreams of striking gold as a superstar DJ. From Pittard’s humble music beginnings, he soon picked up the typical arsenal for a working DJ, including Logic (the standard software used to produce songs), and a keyboard.

When Pittard isn’t working at the Gym in Del Mar or attending classes at MiraCosta College, he’s honing his craft.

“There are so many kids trying to do this nowadays that it’s super-competitive,” Pittard explained. “My daily routine is get up, go to school, go home, and then the rest of my free time goes to music. I spend on average two hours a day working on songs and remixes.”

Soon, Pittard’s hobby turned into something more. “I started DJing at parties back in middle school,” he said. “At first I thought this was just a hobby for me, but after doing these shows I realized it’s something I wanted to pursue.”

Today Pittard, who goes by the stage name Christoph, DJs private parties and is building up an online following on social networking sites, including SoundCloud, where countless aspiring music professionals post their Mp3s in the hopes they go viral. As a spring ad-

To raise money for various projects, the society hosts its Holiday Boutique every year, with the 61st annual event set for Nov. 15, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at La Colonia Community Center.

The Holiday Boutique will feature mostly homemade items, including holiday decorations, floral arrangements, clothing, jewelry, accessories, gifts, and other arts and crafts. Two historical books on the city by Solana Beach historian Jim Nelson, as well as a book on North County beaches by Dr. Wolf Berger, will also be available.

Members will sell baked goods and offer free coffee and tea.

“People really enjoy the Holiday Boutique,” Dalton said. “A lot of people come and see old friends, while enjoying a baked good and a cup of coffee.”

The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society evolved from the Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, founded in 1953. After Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986, the City Council asked the club to become custodians of the city’s history. In 1989, its Certificate of Incorporation was officially modified to create the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, and men were welcomed into the organization.

Today the society’s focus is still on civic and cultural advancement, and philanthropy,

Contest aims to boost volume of Solana Beach’s official song

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Solana Beach may be the county’s second smallest city, it has its own song like New York has Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” and San Francisco has Tony Bennett’s “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”

A collaboration by longtime residents Dr. Ed Siegel and Lynn Salsberg, “Solana Beach, Our City Proud,” was adopted as the official city song by the Solana Beach City Council in February 2006. While it’s been nearly nine years, many residents don’t even know they have their own song.

“It’s amazing how few people know we have a city song,” said Siegel.

To increase awareness, Siegel is launching a contest and inviting community members to offer their own interpretation of the city song. From classical to country, to reggae to rock, Siegel said the lyrics — which boast of surf, sun and local landmarks — lend themselves to just about any genre.

At the end of the contest, Siegel plans to produce an album featuring a variety of the interpretations.

“We would have a really nice CD for the city to enjoy, so everybody could find a version of it they would like,” said Siegel, who is covering the costs of the project, which would be produced in a professional studio.

A local psychiatrist and musician, Siegel established the weekly Solana Beach Community Singalong, which is now in its 28th season at Fletcher Cove Community Center. At the piano, he provides musical accompaniment and sings with the group in a repertoire contained in a songbook that he and regular attendees compiled over the years.

Over the years, the group updated its songbook to include songs that span generations, from spirituals to show tunes to popular hits. The city’s song, of course, is among those featured in the songbook.

Siegel first mentioned the need for a city song during the Solana Beach Community Singalong in 2000. Salsberg, who has attended the group since the early 1990s, heard his request and wrote the lyrics to “Solana Beach, Our City Proud.” After she showed Siegel the lyrics, he wrote the music.

The pair presented the folk melody at the next sing-

Dr. Ed Siegel, who established the weekly Solana Beach Community Singalong, co-wrote “Solana Beach, Our City Proud” with lyricist Lynn Salsberg. along. The Public Arts Commission, Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce and other local groups later endorsed the song before the council declared a contest, and “Solana Beach, Our City Proud,” was selected as the city song from two entries in the competition.

Although Siegel recorded the track with students at Skyline Elementary School and made 500 copies, the song never gained much traction. Today, it is only heard when members of the Solana Beach Community Singalong sing it at their weekly get-togethers.

“Music brings people together,” said Siegel, who hopes the song will one day be played before Solana Beach Little League games and community events such as Beach Blanket Movie Night and Concerts at the Cove.

“Our hope is that every child in Solana Beach will learn it and proudly enjoy singing it for the rest of their lives.”

For information or to participate in the contest, contact Siegel at edsiegelmd@cox.net or 858-755-0316.

The mural at Canyon Crest Academy was designed by Envision Visual Arts Conservatory students from an idea by senior Maya Lin-Bronner.

CCA Foundation mural to be dedicated Nov. 17 Anyone who has visited Canyon Crest Academy in recent weeks has undoubtedly admired the newly installed mural of soaring mosaic ravens rising out of a sun above the Proscenium theatre.

CCA’s latest contribution to the effort to beautify its campus with art created by students is the school’s largest installation yet. On Monday, Nov. 17, the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation will celebrate its most generous donors when the mural is formally dedicated. The ceremony will honor 47 donors who gave at least $1,500 to the Ravens Challenge. A total of $201,000 was raised for the CCA Raven’s Fund this past year.

Among those expected to attend the dedication are County Supervisor Dave Roberts, SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt, and SDUHSD board members.

UCSD director puts contemporary mark on Greek tragedy ‘Antigone’

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus, King of Thebes (yes, THAT Oedipus), and the niece of Creon, the new ruler.

Her two brothers are dead, having killed each other battling for control of the kingdom. One was buried as a hero; the other’s body is lying in the street, reviled as an enemy of the state. Creon has forbidden his burial, and declared anyone who tries to bury him guilty of treason, which is punishable by death.

Antigone defies Creon’s law, buries her brother, and dies for it, but Creon does not live happily ever after. It’s a classic Greek tragedy, written by Sophocles, more than 2,500 years ago.

In 2004, Nobel prizewinner Seamus Heaney, hailed for “his works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt Antigone and Creon are the living past,” revisioned the play, giving it an Irish accent played by Zakiya Markand a contemporary American setting. “Burial at Thebes” land and Toby Onwumere. premiered at the Abbey Theater in Dublin, and was subse- PHOTO BY MAURICE HEWITT quently turned into an opera.

Fast-forward to 2014 and UC San Diego’s Theater Department, where Sarah Wansley, a candidate for an MFA in directing, is presenting her version of Heaney’s play, set in a mythic land somewhere between ancient Thebes and Washington, D.C. For the past year, she has been working on the project, which involves a cast of 22, elaborate sets and costumes, digital projections and live music. It’s set to run Nov. 13-22.

The theme is an ancient one — the conflict between divine law and the laws of man — but the spin is modern: In a post 9/11 world of drones, chemical warfare and ubiquitous media, what impossible moral decisions do we ask our leaders to make? And how would we choose between what is right and what is legal, between our country and our family, between taking a stand or settling for compromise?

“I was drawn to the play at a time when Obama was dealing with rumors of chemical weapons in Syria,” Wansley said. “I was interested in exploring the problem of moral choices. Heaney set the play in his time, the Bush era; we’re moving it up a decade, but we’ve made very few changes in the text.”

In Wansley’s Obama-era “Burial,” the Chorus has become the Press Corps, and she’s added a street singer, who acts as a witness to events and strums his songs on a lyre, a suitably ancient-Greek instrument. There’s even an actual river onstage.

“This is the biggest production I’ve ever done, and it’s very exciting,” Wansley said. “It certainly speaks to some of the issues we’re facing right now.”

“Burial at Thebes” runs through Nov. 22 at Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre, UCSD Campus. Tickets are $12-15 at the door; call 858-534-4574, visit brownpapertickets.com/ event/714185.

Any proceeds will be used to add books to classrooms and the school library. Any unused books will be donated to local children’s charities.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Voilà Hair Atelier marks first-year anniversary at Fairbanks Village Plaza

BY DIANE Y. WELCH One evening last month, a festive atmosphere of flamenco and salsa dancers accompanied by Spanish music drew a large gathering of clients and friends who attended the party marking the first-year anniversary for Voilà Hair Atelier salon at Fairbanks Village Plaza in Rancho Santa Fe. The event was in keeping with the heritage of salon owner and designer Luis Angel, who was born and raised in Cuba.

Angel opened his business last September, and since then the salon has grown and gone through upgraded physical changes, he said. But the high quality of service for his clients remains the same.

Changes to the salon’s interior have created a boutique setting in the store’s front.

Fashion shoes and gold and gemstone jewelry, fine quality leather wallets and handbags and other retail gift items and gift certificates are displayed and available for purchase.

The full-service salon still maintains its high-caliber team of hair and make-up stylists with a combined training background with Paul Mitchell, Vidal Sassoon, and Toni&Guy. “We offer color treatments, precision cuts, styling, highlights and hair extensions with everything custom-based for each cli-

ent,” said Angel.

The salon’s range of high-end hair products, which include Oribe, Number Four and L’Oreal Professional, are still available, along with a new line of La Bella Donna mineralbased make-up merchandise.

Recently welcomed to Angel’s team of hair and beauty professionals is a masseuse, Nadine, who works in the salon on Monday and Tuesday. Pedicure benches have been added to the back of the salon for a more comfortable, relaxed pedicure treatment, and full-service manicures and skin treatments are still offered.

“Now clients can come here have a facial, a massage, a shampoo, blow-dry and make-up and then they are ready to go to their party,” said Angel.

Angel cultivated a unique approach to hair, make-up and beauty by training through the top stylists in England, Tony&Guy. He brings his signature skills to his own salon, in Building #1, Suite 13 in Fairbanks Village Plaza (16236 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067). The salon’s interior decor creates relaxation with its palette of soft natural earth tones.

“It’s in good taste, creating an elegant and sophisticated vibe,” Angel said. And the background music, with the retro sounds of Frank Sinatra and soothing jazz or classical

Voila Hair Atelier partners Elizabeth Rubio and Luis Angel

favorites, enhances the unhurried atmosphere.

The salon location in the heart of Fairbanks Ranch contrasts to Angel’s roots, being born and raised in Havana, where his desire to style hair came at a young age. As a 14-year-old, he would follow his mother to the hair salon to see how the process was done and knew that this was his professional calling.

Reaching adulthood, Angel moved to London to train at the Toni&Guy city center salon on Bond Street.

There he learned the skill of precision cutting and color treatments for which he is famed today.

FOJ to host analyst for ‘Secrets, Silence, Search for Meaning’ The Friends of Jung host Jacqueline Zeller Levine, Ph.D., as speaker for their next Friday Lecture, at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14 at the Winston School, 215 Ninth St., Del Mar. Levine, a Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Fe, N.M., specializes in grief, depression, change of life, aging, and disabled children in the family. She will discuss “The Hole, The Whole, and the Holy: Secrets, Silence, and the Search for Meaning.” In professional and personal relationships, in international and national interactions, secrets contain poison or power, silence withholds or opens, and the Jacqueline Zeller Levine search for meaning combines both despair and hope. This evening will be an exploration of the shadow that festers in secrets and silence.

Admission is $10 full-time students, $15 for FOJ members and senior citizens (65+), and $20 for non-members. Call 858-259-8155.

Jewish Family Services offering annual ‘Embrace A Family’ gift-giving program Each year through Jewish Family Services’ Embrace-a-Family Program, individuals, families, and groups in the community help ensure that families in need have a joyous holiday celebration. Many Embrace-a-Family recipients would not have Hanukkah or Christmas celebrations without this program. Embracers are matched with a family in need and provide toys, clothes, food, gift certificates, and more. Embracers are provided with a description of the family, including gender and ages of children and their holiday wish lists. This is a great way for you, your family, group, and/or business to make the holiday season a little brighter for a family who is struggling to make ends meet.

Even if you can’t embrace a family, you can still participate. Donate new, unused toys and/or other gifts, or gift certificates. Cash donations are also greatly appreciated for lastminute gift purchases. For information, contact Meghan Camacho, Volunteer Engagement Coordinator, at 858-637-3042 or meghanc@jfssd.org.

Del Mar Foundation’s ‘Parents’ Night Out’ attracts a crowd at Zel’s Del Mar Zel’s Del Mar was the place to be for Del Mar parents and friends on Nov. 5 as they gathered for a “Parents’ Night Out” organized by the Del Mar Foundation.

Hosted by the Young Del Mar committee, the evening drew together nearly 30 Del Mar parents for a relaxed evening of conversation, drinks and free appetizers.

Zel’s extended its Happy Hour and provided a steady flow of flatbread pizzas and calamari throughout the evening.

Among the participants were new and long-term Young Del Mar residents, as well as members of the Del Mar Foundation board and members of the Young Del Mar committee.

Said new resident Kathy, “We just moved here recently and these evenings are a great way for us to meet our community.”

The next “Parents’ Night Out” is scheduled for early 2015. To receive notification, visit the Del Mar Foundation website (www.delmarfoundation.org) and sign up on the email list.

Young Del Mar brings together parents, grandparents, and families in the Del Mar community at memory-making events and activities.

Recent events have included the Spooktacular Beach Bonfire, Speaker’s Series on Parenting with Lee Hausner, Ph.D., annual 4th of July Parade, and an Earth Day Beach Clean Up. In addition, Young Del Mar sponsors infant and toddler playgroups.

The Del Mar Foundation sponsors programs, makes grants, and manages $2 million in endowment funds to benefit the community and the San Dieguito Lagoon.

The Foundation’s community endowment provides longterm funding stability for community needs.

Enjoying the ‘Parents’ Night Out.’

Carmel Del Mar honors community’s veterans The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 marked the end of World War I. It became known as Armistice Day and in 1954 officially became the Veterans Day holiday, observed Nov. 11 every year.

Carmel Del Mar School held a special ceremony on Nov. 7 to honor veterans in the school community, many of them parents and grandparents of the students. The veterans and current servicemen represented all branches of the military and included Vietnam War veterans, a Navy SEAL, a Marine Corps C-130 pilot and Navy F-18 pilot, military doctors and nurses and a Marine Corps

prosecutor.

While the day was about honoring the men and women for their service, many of the veterans and current service members thanked their families for their support while they were away. The veterans said it meant a lot to them to be remembered — nearly all pointing out their grandchildren in the crowd.

The ceremony was put together by music teacher Cinda Peck, whose husband, Rod, was a pilot in the Navy, and her son, Logan, a CDM graduate, is now an F18 Navy pilot.

At the Public Hearing on November 17, 2014, any interested person, including all persons owning property in the City or served by the City’s Water, Wastewater, or Clean Water utilities, may appear and be heard and/or submit written materials as to whether the

proposed charges are discriminatory or excessive, or will not be sufficient under Government Code 54515, or will not comply with any other provision of Chapter 6, starting at Government Code Section 54300 or Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code, or will not be sufficient under the provisions or covenants of any outstanding revenue bonds of the City payable from the revenues of the water, wastewater, or clean water enterprises, or any other matter relating to rates and charges. All written protests must include the signature of the protester and his or her name, the address of the site served by the utility, and whether the protester is a property owner or a rate-payer or both.

The tart little darling of fall The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Those bright ruby waxlike balls herald the holiday season as they dominate the supermarket produce aisles.

The quintessential fruit of fall, this tart little gem transports me back to my childhood in Canada, where our family would go cranberry picking in the Muskoka bog.

The first time I clutched the crimson berry in my palm and popped it in my mouth, my brain couldn’t believe what my tongue was telling me. It was so tart it didn’t even make it down my throat.

Today, I appreciate this super food, a cousin to the blueberry and one of the

few fruits on the planet native to North America.

While most holiday tables abound with cranberry dishes, learn to relish the mighty cranberry all year.

Here’s why.

Benefits of the Bog Berry This petite-yet-potent powerhouse was recognized

by Native Americans as a healing food well before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. They concocted deer meat and mashed cranberries to form pemmican as a staple food throughout the long winters, and also used the berry as an antibacterial poultice to soothe and treat arrow wounds.

The low cal, fiber-rich cranberry is rife with Vitamins A for ocular health, B to put the skids on stress, immune-boosting C and blood-regulating K. It’s also packed with fortifying minerals (manganese and copper), and a rich source of antioxidants, especially proanthocyanidins with antiadhesion properties making cranberry a urinary tract’s best friend.

By preventing bacteria from glomming onto urinary tract linings, cranberries knock infections off their feet. Drink unsweet-

ened cranberry juice straight up to pack the best anti-bacterial punch when symptoms loom.

Other phytonutrients provide anti-inflammatory properties, particularly for mouth and gums, (to ward off periodontal disease), the colon and stomach, linked to preventing ulcers, and the cardio system (lowering blood pressure, along with the “bad” cholesterol while raising the “good”).

Studies have shown cranberry as an anti-carcinogenic warrior in its preventive role against breast, colon, lung and prostate cancers.

One word of cranberry warning: Those susceptible to kidney stones, check with the doc before cranberrying up.

Pick winners Make sure the berries are firm, perfect spheres — not shriveled or dented — and have a bright scarlet hue without brown spots.

Cranberries can keep in their original package in the fridge for up to two weeks, the freezer for one year.

Rinse berries in cold water, filtering out stems and pale, brown or mushy ones. Frozen cranberries don’t have to be defrosted before prep-

ping.

Let’s get saucy A traditional holiday table would be naked without cranberry relish or sauce accompanying the turkey or fowl of choice. Why not expand your cranberry horizons during the holidays and beyond by adding eye candy, zip and an antioxidant oomph with fresh or dried nuggets in biscottis, scones, corn breads, cobblers, granolas, English trifles, French clafoutis, rice puddings and flans. There’s more. Dial up briskets, baked chicken, lamb roasts and grilled wild-caught salmon, stuffings, quinoa and bulgur wheat taboulis, pilafs and green salads. Finally, whet your whistle with a cranberry vodka punch, cranberry martinis, cosmopolitans or margaritas. Cheers!

A cranberry walks into a (side) bar • Athletic cranberries contain air pockets giving them the ability to not only float, but also bounce.

• While some Native American tribes invented the moniker “ibimi” translating to “bitter berry,” it was the German and Dutch settlers who contrived the name “crane berry” as the

blossom of the fruit resembled the head, bill and neck of the crane bird.

• It’s a myth (perpetuated by Ocean Spray commercials) that cranberries sprout in water. Rather these perennial plants grow in low-lying vines or bushes in sandy bogs and marshes.

• The American love affair with cranberry sauce began in 1912 when it was first marketed. Today we scarf down over 400 million pounds of the stuff a year, 20 percent during Thanksgiving week, especially the jellied variety. In fact, 94 percent of Thanksgiving dinners serve cranberry sauce.

• Food folklorists believe that cranberries were served at the first Thanksgiving feast in Plymouth.

• Cranberries are composed of nearly 90 percent water.

Refreshing raw relish Here’s a riff on the traditional cranberry sauce that doesn’t require cooking. This raw relish is crunchy and refreshing, and can be blended with mustard or mayo, recycled as a condiment for leftover turkey sandwiches. Gobble, gobble.

Ingredients 1 pound fresh cranberries, washed, stems removed 2 oranges or mandarins, peeled and chopped 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, shredded 1/2 cup amber honey (adjust to taste) 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (adjust to taste) Zest from one Meyer lemon Method: In a food processor or blender, coarsely

chop cranberries and oranges. Transfer to a glass bowl and blend in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

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 helpdrivers 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.

Canyon Crest Academy delivers not only an outstanding education, but has the unique Envision arts program supported by donation dollars.

Envision utilizes working artists as instructors. These professional artists work with the visual and performing arts students to deliver an outstanding arts experience at a professional level. CCA’s theater program has won numerous awards and recognition.

Performances are known as above and beyond a “high school theater show.” The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. The mission of CCA and CCAF is to “enrich the experience of every student, every day.”

“Our dedicated and talented students bring a level of professionalism that raises our productions to such a high quality that all members of the community will enjoy them!,” said Jeannine Marquie, M.Ed., Envision Theatre coordinator.

mit to USC, Pittard is planning to study business and focus on his burgeoning music career.

“In order to be successful today, you have to be really creative and original,” Pittard said. “You need to develop a super unique sound; that’s essential to success.”

Pittard’s friend, fellow Torrey Pines grad Sam Hardeman, is following the same path. Now attending St. John’s University in Queens, N.Y., Hardeman caught the DJ bug much like Pittard.

“About a year ago I decided I could DJ and make music just like all the big names,” said Hardeman, who now goes by the stage name Sam Aaron. “I got a controller and through YouTube and friends like Chris, I learned the necessary techniques and skills.”

As a result, Hardeman is making a name for himself in the New York club cir-

MURAL continued from page B5

The concept for the mural was conceived and designed by Envision Visual Arts Conservatory students in spring 2014. Jessica Matthes, CCA sculpture teacher and EVA Conservatory coordinator, explained that the students discussed several different ideas, and voted on the one they liked best.

Senior Maya Lin-Bronner’s idea became the work of art. An EVA conservatory student, she got the idea when the students were prompted to design something that represented the school. “Being in conservatory, and staying late at school every day, I see the sunset from school.”

She said that the sun could be interpreted as either rising or setting, and

continued from page B3 cuit, performing regularly around the Big Apple — including a recent show on Halloween. “It was a huge success,” said Hardeman, who’s slowly but surely building a reputation.

Back in North County, there is no shortage of venues and events for aspiring DJs to strut their stuff. From private functions (like birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings), to San Diego-area clubs (such as Soma in Midway or the downtown venue Somewhere Loud), and even special events (like the recent Hallow II party at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center).

“This is still a huge industry that’s growing daily,” Hardeman notes. “I’ve seen DJs come out of nowhere and land mainstage gigs within a year. It’s fast-paced and attractive. Who wouldn’t want to DJ for the rest of their lives?”

that the ravens, which were made individually by EVA conservatory students, represent the different styles and personalities not just of the artists, but of all of the students at CCA. “The fact that the ravens in the mural all come from the same colors as the sun represents, to me, the rising potential of all of the students.”

All of the EVA conservatory students contributed to the mural with the help of visiting Solana Beach artist Amber Irwin. Irwin, whose presence at CCA was funded by the Foundation, helped oversee the creation of the final piece over a twomonth period.

Because each student worked individually on small sections of the installation, the impact of seeing it all together was enor-

mous. “It’s so much bigger than it seems like it will be when everyone is working on all of the small pieces,” said sculpture teacher Matthes.

For Maya, the mural looks a lot like she imagined. “Even though the idea was mine, the project was very much a collaborative effort. It’s a nice representation of all of the students who worked on it.”

Matthes says coming to school is now a new experience. “I find myself looking up every time I walk in.”

To host the Holiday Boutique, a 26-member craft group meets monthly to create handmade items to sell at the annual fundraiser.

“People make things all through the year, and we also have workshops,” Dalton said.

“We really have a good time together.”

The Holiday Boutique will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 15 at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Ave., in Solana Beach.

Door prizes will be held during the event. The craft group will also raffle off its handmade quilt depicting places throughout Solana Beach.

“It’s just a really fun time,” Dalton said. “I urge people to come and join in the fun.”
