One Paseo project reduces density, Trader Joe’s added ■ CCA’s DeEvolution robotics teams tops at tournament. See page 5

BY KAREN BILLING Kilroy Realty is resubmitting its One Paseo plans to the city this week with 30 percent reduced density. Gone is the 10-story office building and the hotel has been scratched as well. Building heights have been reduced—the tallest is now an eightstory office building. The plan also adds more open space areas; of the 23-acre site, 20 percent will be open space or plaza areas. The project is located at the corner of El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Rd. in Carmel Valley. Steve Scott, senior vice president of Kilroy, said he believes that the revisions address the community and city’s concerns about traffic, bulk

and scale, as well as the effect on community character. “We’re very pleased with the progress and evolution of the project,” Scott said. “We’ve been able to secure Trader Joe’s as a tenant and residential interest is quite high, as are office tenants. With community support of the project and retail interest, the project is coming together nicely to be balanced and address everyone’s needs.” The changes come in response to the city’s draft environmental impact report on the project, which went out in May. Since the pubic input period closed, Scott said Kilroy is responding to all of the public and staff comments by making these changes they hope will be well received.

The project is now a total of 1.4 million square feet, down from 2 million, a reduction of 600,000 square feet and a reduction in the floorarea ratio. Lowered building heights are reflected in the 10-story building now becoming a six-story building, and all of the office and multi-family home heights along Del Mar Heights have also been reduced. “We’ve eliminated that ‘walled-off’ effect that some people were concerned about by reducing the heights there and increasing the setbacks,” Scott said. They eliminated one of the office buildings near the corner of High Bluff Drive and Del Mar

BY JOE TASH With a vote in closed session on Tuesday, Nov. 20, the board that oversees the Del Mar Fairgrounds resolved another in a series of legal issues that have entangled the organization in recent years. The board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned fairgrounds, voted to settle a lawsuit filed against the district by the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach and the San Dieguito River Park regarding the district’s master plan for up-

grading its facilities. The lawsuit challenged the adequacy of environmental studies conducted in support of the master plan. “We’re very pleased and excited with the settlement we’ve achieved,” said board president Adam Day following Tuesday’s board meeting. “This is a win-win for our agencies and the public we serve.” Last month, a judge issued a split ruling on a similar lawsuit filed against the district by the Sierra Club, See SUIT Page 6

Nearly a ton of marijuana confiscated in beach bust

DM Council continues shared use of park

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE U.S. Border Patrol agents foiled a maritime marijuanasmuggling attempt at a Del Mar beach over the weekend, arresting two suspected traffickers and seizing nearly a ton of marijuana, the federal agency reported. About 3 a.m. on Nov. 25, Sunday, Border Patrol personnel assigned to coastal enforcement approached a pair of men standing outside a 2008 Chevrolet box truck and a 1998 Dodge pickup parked near Dog Beach. The officers then spotted bundles of what

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Nov. 19 voted to continue shared use at Del Mar Shores Park, a compromise approved in January that followed months of contention between the Little League and dog owners. The issue was brought to the table because the ordinance’s sixmonth trial period expired on Nov. 6. After several hearings and hours of public testimony last year, the council came up with hours of use for organized sports and

turned out to be marijuana on a path near the vehicles. A search of the area revealed dozens of additional packages of marijuana under a pier and inside the box truck. In all, agents recovered 155 bundles with a total weight of 1,976 pounds and an estimated street worth of almost $3 million. The suspects, U.S. citizens whose names were not released, were arrested and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel along with the confiscated cannabis and the seized trucks.

Ordinance designates hours for dog owners, Little League dog owners. Faced with an urgency to renew regulations, the council opted to continue letting Little League use the park from 3:30 p.m. until dusk on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and reserving 4 p.m. to dusk on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for off-leash dogs. Every day from 6 to 8:30 a.m. is also reserved for off-leash use. Brought before the council as an alternative to the continuance of the ordinance was a proposal from a group of residents

calling themselves “Del Mar K-9 Connections.” They said the Little League had not been using the park’s athletic field for at least three months, and they asked that the council allow dogs off-leash seven days a week until sports seasons resume. They also asked to use the park beginning at 3 p.m. instead of 4 p.m., since the sun starts setting around 4:30 p.m. under daylight savings time. The group offered to contribute to the mainteSee PARK, Page 6

Del Mar looking for affordable housing site • City to hold Dec. 5 hearing on Housing Element, discusses possible rezoning of commercial zones BY CLAIRE HARLIN It’s one challenge after another for the Del Mar City Council. Officials poured months of work into a revitalization plan that failed this month at the polls, and there is still revitalizing to be done in Del Mar. Now, they’ve got to find a place to rezone for affordable housing — about 70 units on less than 4 acres. While the council decided Nov. 19 to put public workshops in motion to get residents’ feedback on the issue, the outcome of these efforts is a little less negotiable than Prop J was. In other words, whether residents like it or not, affordable housing is coming to Del Mar — it’s just a matter of how and, more importantly, where. As required by law, the city is preparing a draft Housing Element for the 2013-2020 cycle, and it’s scheduled for review by the city’s Planning Commission at a Dec. 5 public hearing. An estimated 25 percent of Del Mar’s residents qualify for affordable housing, and under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), the city must provide 71 units total, with varying levels of affordability, to meet the needs of the community. In October, city staff briefed the council on housing law and the region’s housing needs and requirements, as dictated by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the county’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD has determined that in Del Mar a density of at least 20 dwelling units per acre must be met to reasonably make the units affordable. There’s an urgency for

the city to show HCD that it has achieved or is well on its way to achieving this “site inventory” standard, and the city’s Housing Element — which the city aims to get certified next spring — should reflect that. To meet this standard, the city will have to modify its zoning code, and the City Council on Nov. 19 identified two options to explore — either substantially increasing the allowed residential density from the existing one unit per parcel to 20 units in the central commercial zone (CC) or rezoning one or more properties to a new classification that would allow residential development at that same density. City planning manager Adam Birnbaum said there’s a prospective purchaser of two properties in the north commercial NC zone — which encompasses 17 properties along the San Dieguito Lagoon just south of the fairgrounds — who has expressed interest in a new zoning designation. The CC zone encompasses the Village area along Camino Del Mar. A third option would be modifying the city code to allow residential development at a density of 20 units per acre in the NC zone. Another option the council chose not to explore was to rezone the public facilities (PF) zone. Councilman Don Mosier said the situation he wants to avoid is compromising the community’s wants to meet HCD’s standards. For example, the community may not like the idea of a residential development in the NC zone, but that may be what

Del Mar approves moratorium on future food truck licenses

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Nov. 19 approved an emergency ordinance proposed last month that will suspend the issuance of licensees to food trucks for 45 days, or until the council can put in place regulations specific to that type of food establishment. The six trucks that already obtained licenses and have been operating on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the parking lot at 1601 Coast Blvd. are safe from the ordinance, which went into effect immediately The city will be looking into concerns raised, such as noise, odor, restroom availability and recycling enforcement, and will return to the council with a draft ordinance and permitting processes for the regulation of this new food retail phenomenon. As it stands, there are not city regulations for is-

sues such as outdoor lighting and food smells, and the ordinance will cover all methods of outdoor vending — not exclusive to food trucks. Councilman Don Mosier said he has heard response from residents that there is not proper signage at the parking lot indicating that parking is free, and he has also heard complaints that people get their food to-go and don’t dispose of litter properly. Christian Murcia organizes the Del Mar food trucks, which operate under the company Curbside Bites. He said the winter months are already a slow period for food trucks, and asked the council to consider waiting to enact the moratorium so they can get a better idea of what the food truck gath-

Free holiday parking in Del Mar is here to stay BY CLAIRE HARLIN Each year around Thanksgiving, free holiday parking in the Village comes before the Del Mar City Council, and the city officials approve dates and locations for free parking as requested by the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA). Once again on Nov. 19, the council approved free downtown parking for the weekends leading up to New Year’s, but this time it set the measure in stone.

“So you don’t have to keep coming back, let’s codify it and make it permanent,” said Mayor Carl Hilliard. Since 2008, the city has granted the free parking along 15th Street, under L’Auberge and on Camino Del Mar from 15th to 4th streets, increasing it from six days in 2008 to 13 days in 2009. The measure now and permanently will contain 16 free parking days: Nov. 22-

25; Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, 31; and Jan. 1. The city estimates a loss from parking revenue of about $750 per day, but officials hope the increase in tax revenue from shopping will outweigh that loss. City staff came up with an alternative proposal that placed free parking days during the week surrounding Christmas instead of on the

Equine performers organize new show at Del Mar Fairgrounds after Valitar folds • Cast members left without pay, housing, supplies BY CLAIRE HARLIN When Rancho Santa Fe producers Mark and Tatyana Remley pulled the plug on Valitar the day before Thanksgiving, the 25 performers of the horse-human acrobatics show were left unpaid, many with no place to stay or way to get home. The show’s 45 horses were also either removed or left without tack or hay. All having trained for months, and many having dropped everything to move from overseas to Del Mar for the year-long commitment, the performers are still processing the real-life nightmare they’re living. However, they haven’t lost focus of their real dream — to put on a worldclass show — and they’ve turned the situation into a “phoenix rising from the ashes story,” as Melisse Mossy described it at a Nov. 26 support gathering for the performers at her Rancho Santa Fe home. At the gathering, attended by local horse lovers and notables such as world-renowned jockey Julie Krone, the former performers of Valitar — once housed in the red, 45,000-square-foot tent erected at the Del Mar Fairgrounds — announced that they have secured a spot at the fairgrounds for a new show. Liberté — a show based on humans’ silent communication with horses — is tentatively set for Dec. 7-9 at the fairgrounds equestrian arena. After the cancellation of Valitar, the show’s cast received an outpouring of support from locals like Mossy, who fell in love with the performance and stepped in line to help. But the performers say they would rather sell tickets than take charity. These professional dressage trainers, trick riders, contortionists and aerialists have been perfecting their acts for months, and they want nothing more than to share their art. “We’ve organized such a talented cast, and some of the people we have are the best at what they do in the world,” said Sylvia Zerbina, the former headliner of Valitar who is leading the way in directing Liberté. A ninth generation circus performer from her family’s Zerbini Family Circus and former Cavalia headliner of seven years, she is the only person in the world who performs a “grand liberty “ act — in which she guides 10 horses to-

Proceeds from ticket sales of the upcoming Liberté will help pay the cast what they are owed, but Zerbini hopes the show doesn’t end there. She and the performers hope to perform Liberté at many venues around the nation, returning to San Diego next winter for a homecoming show. Zerbini has been staying with her husband, show operations manager Richie Waite, in a mobile home on the fair site, however, not all the performers have been that lucky. One crew member said he has no money and has been sleeping in a car, and Waite said that, come the end of next week, onsite housing near the fairgrounds will dry up for some of the performers. Others have been living in Imperial Beach.

“We’re trying to build a fund for a living allowance at least until the show. We need about 11 rooms, and we need to bring the performers closer together,” said Linda Holst, a San Diego resident and longtime friend of Zerbini’s who has stepped in to help manage both fundraising efforts and the production of Liberté. “While donations are welcome, we hope ticket sales will help to add further performance venues,” she said. Other local residents, like Linda Harris, are concerned about the horses who were removed from the stables the night before the show cancellation and cannot be found. She said that, if found, she would like to adopt the horses. Several other performers would like their saddles and other tack to be returned. “We had trained these horses for months and then one day they were just plucked out from under us,” said Zerbini. “We had developed relationships and bonds with these horses, and we are kind of in an emotional state because of it.” Bernard Quental, known for his bareback performances in which he stands on a running horse while holding a standing man on his shoulders, said he was hesitant to participate in Valitar, but traveled to Del Mar from France for the show after seeing the promising cast he would be working with. “In France, that doesn’t just happen. You can’t just fire someone like that,” he said. But the experience has not deterred him from the country entirely — he said he loves Del Mar and wants to stay here with his partner, Sofie, a show choreographer who came with him from France. The two hope to one day open a horse academy. Holst and Mossy said attempts to contact the Remleys, who reportedly filed for bankruptcy under the company Equustria Development Inc., have been unsuccessful. Attempts by this newspaper to contact the Remleys by presstime were also unsuccessful. Tickets for Liberté will be available soon on the Del Mar Fairgrounds’ website at www.delmarfairgrounds.com, and those looking to get involved or offer housing or a corporate sponsorship can call Holst at (858) 212-6650. There will also be opportunities to donate through Mary’s Tack and Feed, located at 3675 Via De La Valle.

New Del Mar school board member Alan Kholos ready to tackle challenges BY KAREN BILLING On Dec. 19, new Del Mar Union School District board member Alan Kholos will take his seat at the table. As he ran unopposed there was no need for an election. Kholos said he wants to serve on the board because he believes in the importance of education and community service. “From an education perspective I am lucky to be in a family where a love of lifelong education has always been an important value,” he said New DMUSD school board member going back to a quote Alan Kholos with his wife Tina and on the wall of Royce children Cameron and Carly. Hall at his alma mater UCLA: (paraphrased) “Education is learning to use the tools that the human race has found indispensable.” From the community service perspective, Kholos’ father had a 33-year career in the Air Force and Kholos followed his path, serving as an officer in the Air Force. Kholos worked for federal courts as a lawyer in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego. His wife, Tina, is a registered nurse with a master’s degree in public health. “We want to show our children that education and

community service are very important and the best way to do that is to be part of it,” Kholos said. The Kholos family has lived in San Diego since 1999. Kholos works as the assistant general counsel for CareFusion Corporation in Torrey Hills, a company that provides critical care medical device products for intravenous infusion and respiratory therapy. Tina worked at Ocean Air School as a health aide technician for six years until stepping away last month. Their children, Cameron and Carly, are in the sixth and fourth grade at Ocean Air School. Kholos first started thinking about running for the school board two years ago. “I was very concerned with what I perceived as instability. There was a lot of nervousness; parents didn’t seem happy and staff seemed unsettled and people were asking a lot of questions about governance,” Kholos said. He said he believes that the district has changed since then and has become more stable, but he still wanted to be a part of the district’s leadership. Kholos said everybody on the board brings technical skills from their background, whether it’s an educational, business or legal background—the key is striking the right balance. He believes he will fit in well and can bring technical skills in finance and governance. Kholos also believes he can effectively represent the community’s interests on issues that the district brings before the board. Kholos has already spent time with district superintendent Holly McClurg to get a handle on the responsibilities of the board and the “general cadence” of the board meetings. Next week, Kholos is attending the California School Boards Association conference for new board members and he has already started the process of meeting with members of various district staff departments to learn about different elements of the district—he is starting with finance.

Man stabbed and others arrested at local party

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE One person was stabbed, another hit with a sheriff’s stun gun, and six people arrested at a raucous house party in Rancho Santa Fe in the early morning hours on Nov. 24. Deputies said the stabbing suspect got away in the confusion as they arrived just after midnight to a report of a stabbing at a home on the 17400 block of Los Morros, near the intersection of La Bajada, a crossroads just southeast of Encinitas. San Diego Sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Passalacqua said arriving deputies found 200 people and evidence of a bloody crime, although the stabbing suspect and victim had fled. “As deputies attempted to investigate, a fight broke out between individuals in the crowd and a Taser was used to arrest one person, while four others were arrested for disorderly conduct or resisting officers,’’ Passalcqua said. Deputies also discovered several intoxicated minors on the property. A man with stab wounds to his arm was later discovered by deputies at a local hospital. Passalacqua said the unidentified stabbing victim was pepper sprayed and arrested after he became aggressive with deputies. After being treated and released by medical staff, the stabbing victim was arrested by deputies. The suspect in the stabbing remains at-large as of presstime for this newspaper. The homeowner, Noel Meza, 59, was arrested, cited and released by deputies for violating the county’s Social Host Ordinance, which penalizes adults for providing alcohol to minors. The investigation of the incident continued, deputies said.

School bond election tally update As of presstime for this week’s newspaper, 32,000 mail/ provisional ballots still had to be counted by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. Results are expected to be officially certified by early December. Local bond totals as of presstime are as follows (55 percent approval is needed to pass). •Prop AA (San Dieguito Union Hish School District) 55.50 percent “Yes.”; •Prop CC (Del Mar Union School District) 54.24 percent “Yes.”; • Prop EE (Miracosta Community College) 54.75 percent “Yes.” Visit www.sdcounty.ca.gov/ voters/results/election.xml

ONE PASEO continued from page 1 Heights, replacing it with an open space area that will provide a view down to One Paseo’s Main Street from the road. There will be direct pedestrian access to that plaza park area. Kilroy has also increased the setbacks all around the perimeter of the project, allowing for buildings to be set farther back from El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights, creating more outdoor areas and promoting more pedestrian walkability. By reducing retail by 10 percent and office facilities by 10 percent, Scott said that they have been able to reduce traffic trips by 10 percent. The Trader Joe’s, which will be located mid-Main Street, is looking to open in 2015.

“In the 30,000-plus pieces of communication we sent out to the community over the last four-plus years, the number one comment we got back was ‘We want Trader Joe’s’,” Scott said. “So, as part of this process, we’re bringing something to the community that they really want, in addition to more open space and places to gather. Trader Joe’s is really excited, they love the market and the community.” In addition to Trader Joe’s, One Paseo has secured Pinstripes as one of its tenants. The Midwest-based company will be a two-story family entertainment venue with a bistro, bocce ball and bowling. Scott said Pinstripes offers good food, a fun family ambiance and an affordable value. Pinstripes will be located near the Main Street, which will also have a movie theater and mix of retail and restaurants that Scott hopes will

keep people coming back to enjoy again and again. “We’re thrilled with the progress and really excited about moving forward and getting this project approved,” Scott said. The city is now in the process of producing the final EIR document, which will include the revised One Paseo plan. One Paseo is scheduled to be on the agenda for the January Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting (Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library) and then must go through the planning commission by the spring of 2013 and City Council for approval, possibly in the summer. If approved, Kilroy aims to have the first phase of the project complete by mid-to-late 2015, with the last phase wrapping up by mid-to-late 2016. The updated plans will be posted to One Paseo’s website at www.onepaseo.com.

The 22nd DAA board was the last of the four parties related to the lawsuit to officially approve the settlement; earlier, the Del Mar and Solana Beach city councils and the river park JPA board had voted to approve the settlement agreement.

PARK nance of the field and promised frequent and organized “poop patrols.” Mayor Carl Hilliard said he was “disturbed” that some are trying to take “what was a good compromise [and push it] into something that is not a compromise.” The council did not take up any options requested by the dog-lovers’ group, however, they did recognize that they are jumping the gun in regard to implementing permanent regulations on the park prior to creating a master plan for the entire city, which will be voted on by residents. Further, Hilliard pointed out that the city’s intention when purchasing the property for $8.5 million in

2008 was to maintain the status quo — which was use as a ballpark — in addition to sharing with The Winston School, which contributed $3 million to the purchase. Residents also raised some $3 million to help the city buy the park, which was made available for 25 percent of market value under the Naylor Act, which discouraged school districts from selling property to developers. “When we purchased the park, the community expressed that they wanted a park for our community, because Powerhouse and Seagrove Parks are heavily used by the region,” said Hilliard, adding that several proposed uses for the park, such as a community garden and site for the historical Alvarado House, have been turned down because they did not reflect the intentions of the

city at the time of purchase. Councilman Mark Filanc said looking at only two alternative reduces the potential use of the park. He said he’d like to see more alternatives considered, such as adding a fenced area that can be used at all times for off-leash purposes. The council agreed to explore alternatives on Nov. 26 when it meets to discuss council priorities. There is the possibility that another option may come forth as the city develops a master plan for future land use. “We certainly want to maximize use of the park,” Filanc said, adding that the park was one of his favorite places to go when he used to manage his son’s Little League team. “The more people who use it, the more benefit to the community and the more benefit we get out of the $8 million spent on it.”

chapter of cooperation, I think, between the fairgrounds and surrounding communities and that’s a very good thing,” Hilliard said. Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian also welcomed news of the fair board’s action. “I believe it’s a giant step towards a better understanding between the fairgrounds and the city of Solana Beach. I think the fair board now has a clear understanding of what impacts the fairgrounds has on our community,” Kellejian said. Day did not release a copy of the settlement agreement Tuesday. He said the document would receive

a final edit and then be submitted to the court. Once the court has accepted the agreement, it will become public. But Day did provide some details of the agreement. For example, the fairgrounds will not install a controversial electronic sign along Interstate 5, or lighting for sports fields on top of planned new exhibit halls. The fairgrounds agreed to provide additional traffic control — including the possibility of a new traffic signal — at the Solana Gate on Via del la Valle during the San Diego County Fair and horse-racing meet. The fairgrounds will consider relocating a

planned new parking structure and study other intersections around the facility to determine if additional traffic control measures are needed. While the fairgrounds had earlier dropped plans to build a hotel on its property, under the settlement the 22nd DAA agreed not to reconsider the hotel option for at least five years, Day said. The 22nd DAA has also agreed to conduct a study of the financial impacts of the fairgrounds on its neighbors, including the cost of municipal services and infrastructure provided by Del Mar and Solana Beach, as well as the economic benefits provided to the cities by fairground events, Day said. The cities have long contended that the 22nd DAA does not pay its fair share for municipal services provided by its neighbors. In other action on Tuesday, Nov. 20, the fair board: • Approved a 2013 operating budget which projects $65.3 million in revenue and $62.8 million in expenses. General parking fees will remain $10 for next year’s fair, but preferred parking will increase to $20 from $15, and non-fair parking will increase to $10 from $9. • Approved a $155,000 contract with the Steve Miller Band to perform on Saturday, June 15, during next year’s county fair. Fairgoers will need to purchase a ticket to attend the concert. • Joined local cities and public agencies in supporting a lawsuit by the County Water Authority against the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, over the water wholesaler’s pricing policies.

Following Santa’s arrival, Schreiber will present the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation with a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The funds will be used for the Community Education Program, which is designed to help reduce fires, fire injuries, unintentional injuries and deaths in San Diego and the surrounding region.

Local author’s new book hits NY Times Best Sellers list BY KATHY DAY Scratch “Get on the New York Times Best Sellers” list from Brian Souza’s bucket list. That’s because the Carmel Valley resident’s new book, “The Weekly Coaching Conversation,” made the list for “Print/Advice, How To and Miscellaneous” works on Nov. 4. The subtitle calls it “A business fable about taking your game and your team to the next level.” With an oldschool football coach taking on a young, hard-charging sales manager over beers in a dive bar, the book revolves around the philosophy that “the secret is all about the approach. Stop acting like a manager and start acting like a coach.” It even utilizes chalkboard charts to get the message across. It’s the second book for Souza, a San Diego State graduate, who went to work for Netscape in the early days and was among those hit in its first round of layoffs. He worked for several other Silicon Valley companies before quitting his job and heading off on a three-month sabbatical with his wife, Claudia, to find out what he was supposed to do with his life. After five promotions in

Brian Souza four years, he said he had discovered he was “climbing the ladder of success but leaning against the wrong building … I had all the trappings of success, but I was not fulfilled.” With that in mind, he and Claudia, who worked for Yahoo at the time, set off on a world tour with tickets to start their journey in Lisbon, Portugal, and another set for a return flight from Istanbul, Turkey. When he got back, he said, he had learned enough about himself to write that first book, “Become Who You Were Born To Be.” He also founded GetListed and Paragon Holdings, but then realized he had something to say and began speaking and consulting on sales productivity issues. He also set about researching what it takes to be a good manager. What he

thought would be a six- to12-month project turned into four and a half years. In the process, he discovered the “weak link in the chain of the race for front-line managers” – that they don’t know how to coach employees. Souza said it was his mentor Ken Blanchard, an authority in leadership training and author who became known for his “One Minute Manager” approach, who got him moving in the direction the new book took. “I was explaining my findings and he said, ‘Write a fable.’” The concept of a short, quick-read book was new to him so he began mulling over the idea. One morning shortly after, he was up at 4:30 a.m. and started writing “Act 1.” That proved to be fortuitous — and a foreshadowing of what was to come in the “Coaching Conversation.” This week they are beginning work on a training film so Act 1 is now Scene 1. Noting that he wanted to book to be engaging, funny and entertaining, Souza wrote it as if he was having a conversation with himself 15 years ago when he was that ladder-climbing sales manager who “was failing as a lead-

er.” “The irony is that if I’d had this book and training, I never would have quit,” he said. “It was not the job I hated.” Although he never aspired to be a writer – and didn’t like writing – he calls himself a communicator who “loves research, communicating and helping people.” He got the bug to research what world class leaders do right when he was watching an old television show on NFL coaches and the “coaching tree.” “Most great coaches are descended from the same line,” he said, noting that the show focused on legendary Cleveland Browns coach Paul Brown who, with his background in education, was among the first to break down plays, analyze and teach his players about the workings of the game. “He brought the classroom onto the field.” Souza said the difference between a good manager and a weak one is “not their IQ or their vision. The fundamental difference is their approach. They act like a coach.” Most managers, he added, are pretty good at the

Fast Facts • ‘The Weekly Coaching Conversation’ • By Brian Souza • Available at local bookstores, amazon. com and barnesandnoble.com • Learn more about Brian at briansouza. com process side – systems, controls and budget. What they’re not good at is the “people side.” The book encourages managers to become professional coaches, fundamentally changing how they interact with their employees. As Souza writes in his “Closing Thoughts,” “When a frontline manager can’t ‘command the huddle,’ as Coach

likes to say in the fable, the results manifest themselves in a number of ways.” Those include inconsistent performance, low morale, difficulty getting and keeping top talent, stalled initiatives, wasted time, energy and budget and “organizational productivity that is virtually paralyzed.” With the paperback edition finished and a hard cover edition set to come out in January that includes a section on his research, he’s gearing up to launch a training program designed to take the message of the book – improving employee performance with weekly conversations — into companies around the world through his company ProductivityDrivers. The research “underscores for me that this is bigger than the book. It’s about making a difference,” he said. “It is part of the process of becoming what I was meant to be.” When he’s not sharing his message about improving productivity, he finds time to spend with Claudia, now a stay-at-home mom, and their daughters, Grace and Giselle, who he credits in the book “for reminding me what it’s all about.”

Devoted Coffique entrepreneur helps produce product in Chinese factory BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley entrepreneur Sean Rones took an extra step in the manufacturing of his new product Coffique. Rones traveled to China recently to not only oversee the factory work but also take part in it, living and working with them for six weeks. Instead of being a faceless owner and disconnected with the workers, he told them that no job was beneath him and that he would do anything it took to make the product a success. In the process, he made connections with his fellow factory workers and developed a greater understanding of their work ethic and drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gained their respect and they let me into their world. It was like magic. I never thought in six weeks I would get so connected to those people,â&#x20AC;? Rones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went there to be capitalistic and it just opened me up.â&#x20AC;? Rones created Coffique as a sleek alternative for storing single cup coffee maker K-Cup packs after finding nothing suitable for his counter-top on the market. The silver and black holder sits directly under a KCup machine with a drawer to hold and hide all of the little coffee cups. Coffique is now available on the websites of retailers Kohlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Coscto, Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Bon-Ton and Amazon.

Entrepreneur Sean Rones (blue shirt, standing) with the factory workers in China. Rones has seen sales rise and Rones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding ways to give is hopeful to make a deal with back because this was the gift of what I learned. I want to give Target soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited (about Cof- back, especially to people in Chifiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success) but not in the na.â&#x20AC;? Since Coffique sales and deway where I want to spend more money or upgrade. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough mand picked up over the last when you saw what I saw. I think year, Rones found it necessary to twice now about every little travel to China to ensure that production met the demand and thing,â&#x20AC;? Rones said. He has plans now to give to fill a container that would back to the families of his factory ship the product to the U.S. The workers, whether by helping chil- units arrived by container last dren get to college or through as- week. Learning from past dealings sistance in other ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the excitement with China, he wanted to be on of the product is bringing to me,â&#x20AC;? site at the factory, an American-

owned factory he selected with very high standards and working conditions. For six weeks in China, Rones was no different than the factory worker. He lived in the dorms with his fellow workers, which he said is unheard of. Although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak any Chinese, Rones instantly gained 300 friends. His nickname was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xiong Mao,â&#x20AC;? which means Panda, and he helped do everything from product assembly to mopping the floor while American rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll music played. He brought in a coffee maker and made coffee every day for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tea nation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it,â&#x20AC;? Rones said of the coffee. Rones said he was not a fan of the Chinese food and his coworkers were eager to please â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he kindly ate their interesting takes on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After their shifts ended, they congregated to watch TV on a communal set and Rones would buy everyone Cokes. Sometimes they would play badminton or basketball together after workâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;out of respect, the workers at first took it easy on Rones but soon started to compete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was life moving. It became emotional for me. These people work from 8 a.m. to 10 at night and 80 percent of their salaries goes to their parents out of

respect,â&#x20AC;? said Rones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was heartwarming to see them give their money and be so non-selfish and then to think of where and how we live.â&#x20AC;? Rones said he would love to see this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth, including his own two children, experience what he did and appreciate the Chinese work ethic and values. Through his experience working at the American-owned factory with very high standards, he knows he can put an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ethical stampâ&#x20AC;? on his product. He hopes it will help similar factories raise the bar. He additionally noted that having manufacturing in China does not take away American jobs. The money made at the WFOE (Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise) is redistributed back into America and he said all kinds of different jobs have now been created here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rones is hiring in the U.S. Rones said he plans to return to China and will again live at the factory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to going back,â&#x20AC;? said Rones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was on the plane in Hong Kong, I was thinking that I got the job done, that I was crossing the world to see my family but already missing my factory family in China.â&#x20AC;?

Working in sales as the only woman at her pharmaceutical company, her bosses asked her to perform a videotaped interview with no preparation Mary-Ellen or warning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and she said Drummond she still cringes remembering how bad it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was awful to watch,â&#x20AC;? said the Rancho Santa Fe resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My boss complimented me on some things, but suggested I learn a little more about public speaking.â&#x20AC;? With that advice, Drummond went almost immediately to a meeting of the Toastmasters public speaking and leadership group in Oceanside, the closest chapter to her at that time. There, she heard a speech by Cavett Robert, who went on to found the National Speakers Association, and she was inspired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my gosh, he made speaking look like fun, like he was enjoying himself,â&#x20AC;? said Drummond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After seeing him, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do this.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? It was only weeks before Drummond began the North Coast Toastmasters in 1980, which grew to its capacity of 40 members in only 17 days. To keep up with the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity, she also started a Solana Beach Chapter in 1982 and a Del Mar chapter in 1987. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally you have to be a member to start one up, but I lived in Rancho Santa Fe and between La Jolla and Oceanside there was no club in our area,â&#x20AC;? Drummond said. The Del Mar club, which meets every Friday morning at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church at 334 14th St., has grown to be one of the biggest chapters in San Diego

County, said Drummond. At one point about a decade ago, after a woman who had been on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting list for months stood up at a meeting and proclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to join this club,â&#x20AC;? the Del Mar Toastmasters lifted its membership cap and it has been about 70 members strong ever since. This is one of many stories Drummond will share at the Del Mar clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25th anniversary alumni reunion on Dec. 7 at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church. She will not only celebrate the 25-year milestone with a speech about how the Toastmasters launched her into a public speaking career, but she will also connect past and present members with tales of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and memorable moments. For Drummond, getting involved in Toastmasters was life-changing. She became the only person to win three international speaking competitions in the categories of humor and evaluation, the art of listening to an account and summing it up in a speech. After she began getting requests to speak at public engagements, she took the leap of leaving her career in pharmaceutical sales to peruse public speaking and leadership coaching full-time under the business, Polished Professionals International. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my first year I did 52 paid public presentations and I thought that was small,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that her work included speaking to nonprofits, universities and corporate conventions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to travel to every state and I had a wonderful time,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;all because I turned my fear of public speaking into excitement.â&#x20AC;? Tickets to the reunion, which cost $515, are available at www.delmartm.org/reunion.html. The Dec. 7 event takes place from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. To find your local Toastmasters chapter, visit the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 5 website at www.d5toastmasters.org.

CyMo Foundation to hold gift bazaar, toy drive; Organization helps youth and families impacted by drugs BY CLAIRE HARLIN For Kiyan Yazdani-Zafar, December is a sentimental time. The month marks five years since the death of her son, Cyrus Moinzadeh, a Torrey Pines High School graduate who died from an OxyContin overdose at the age of 23. It’s also the fifth year she’s been sending kids to rehab and supporting at-risk youth through the CyMo Foundation, which she founded in her son’s memory. On Nov. 26, Yazdani-Zafar kicked off the CyMo Foundation’s annual Holiday Home Boutique Fundraiser, which runs through Dec. 1. Held at Yazdani-Zafar’s Santaluz home, the gift bazaar features hundreds of donated items for sale and is the foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. In conjunction with the event, CyMo is holding a toy and blanket drive, and Yazdani-Zafar (along with mothers of other local kids who have died of similar overdoses) will be performing outreach and collecting donated items at three locations: on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the La Jolla Open Aire Market, located at the corner of Girard Avenue and Genter Street; on Tuesdays from 2:30 to 7 p.m. at the Mira Mesa Farmer’s Market, located at 10510 Reagan Road; and on Thursdays from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the Pacific Highlands Farmer’s Market at Canyon Crest Academy, located at 5951 Village Center Loop. CyMo, named after Moinzadeh himself, has put nine young adults through rehab since its inception, when Yazdani-Zafar gave up her career in jewelry sales to dedicate all of her time to giving back. “I wanted to have other parents not be

where I am because it’s not a good place to be,” said Yazdani-Zafar. “I wanted to help myself and my pain also. It was therapy for me, a way of giving back and remembering Cyrus in a good way.” A major function of CyMo is supporting families living in second chance homes and shelters, many of whom are kids who lost everything because either one or both of their parents succumbed to drugs and ended up in prison or rehab. The organization started out with about 60 kids, and now supports more than 400 — all of whom will convene on Dec. 22 to receive Christmas gifts and other necessities collected during the drive. Most of the kids live in East County and Oceanside, said Yazdani-Zafar, and the foundation gives them items such as blankets, heaters, toys and shoes. “Many of them, they end up in these shelters so they will have a roof over their head but they have nothing,” said YazdaniZafar. “We try to give them things that they can take with them when they move. This is a new start for them.” Yazdani-Zafar said CyMo also steps in when families get a new apartment and have no furniture. She said recently a mother expressed that she had finally gotten back on her feet with a new apartment but had nothing, so Yazdani-Zafar called around to everyone she knows looking for unwanted housewares and furniture. “I went over there with a truckload and we got her all set up, silverware, furniture and everything,” Yazdani-Zafar said. Around the time that Yazdani-Zafar lost her son, nearly 60 moms of area kids ended up in the same boat. Torrey Pines High even

Many of these kids were from local communities, such as Carmel Valley or Rancho Santa Fe. The CyMo Foundation first started getting the word out about its cause through distributing 5,000 bracelets around the area, and many kids would wear them in memory of those who died. “It was like a chain gang,” said Yazdani-Zafar, adding that some of the kids CyMo helped through rehab ended up contacting her for help after seeing someone with a CyMo bracelet. “Something happens to one of them and another kid hears about it — by them talking about the organization and wearing the bracelets, they get introduced to us.” To preview items that are for sale at the bazaar, which

Patriot Profiles: ‘You know when something’s awry — your senses are heightened’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The daily work of the U.S. Coast Guard might not hit home until a sister or brother, daughter or son is tempted to buy their first bag of illegal drugs. Having the Coast Guard on watch means more secure coastlines and safer communities from those who would break our nation’s laws. Wherever they sail, the United States Coast Guard’s mission set is vast, from search and rescue and disaster response, ship inspections, engaging in war and more. The job for Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Troy Dostart encompasses many areas of responsibility called collaterals, one of which includes law enforcement on the high seas. He and other “Coasties” operate under the Department of Homeland Security, governed under a separate regulatory agency from the Department of Defense – with a unique set of military roles, authorities, and powers. With broad jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters, BM2 Dostart knows his limits.

“I’m not going to solve the ‘war on drugs’ or save everybody in an overdue boat or a ship or plane that goes down.” He boils his work down to helping s o m e o n e ’s family member or loved one. Doing his part defines duty to him. To start, Dostart had to wrestle with a personal dislike. “I love boats, but you won’t catch me surfing or swimming in the ocean.” He’s got a wary respect for the ocean and its powers and doesn’t take anything about it for granted. Troy, who graduated from Union Mine High School in Placerville, Calif., was tired of school with no plans for college. He joined the Coast Guard and wryly adds, “I’ve been doing schooling for 10 years now.” Much of Dostart’s education has been on the job. He struck his first rate (job) as a small boat crewman stationed in Seattle and then began to break in as a Boarding Team Member (BTM). “It wasn’t that I was so gung-ho about law enforcement. I wanted to be

involved in the action, to get underway more and those guys got the opportunity more than a basic crewman.” Dostart passed all the training qualifications to become a BTM. “Once I started doing it more and more, I had a passion for it.” He set his sights on the highest Coast Guard law enforcement level — a Boarding Officer (BO) who runs the boarding show. Working as a Boarding Team Member, he didn’t like the way a couple of BOs operated. “They put the hammer down every time.” In one instance, a father and two kids were fishing in the Marina and didn’t have their registration or their oil and pollution dump site placard on the boat. “Instead of sending them back to the pier to pick these items up, their voyage was terminated.” Now a Boarding Officer, Dostart takes extra Coast Guard boating requirements in his boarding kit along with his steely resolve, “Educate first and if they do it

again, now they’re breaking the law.” For this Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class, law enforcement is a gripping task. Money or lack of it keeps things moving in the Coast Guard. Dostart runs from task to task in charge of six collaterals, including overseeing weapons, supplies, rescue and survival systems, along with documenting, purchasing, and the actual boardings. “You have so much to do, it’s hard to prioritize. It’s been a tough learning curve,” he adds, “as ways to do things are always changing.” When Dostart’s boat was noted for not meeting requirements, a Ready for Operations (RFO) inspection turned into a surprise 22 Migrant Interdiction. You want to say, “You’re telling me I’m not ready for operations? I’m doing it right now. “My friends ask me if it feels good. It feels good to do my job, but they’re still human. I’d do anything I could if my family was away from me.” They try again and again and there’s no easy way to stop them. “Ultimately, Illegals are not alSEE PATRIOT, PAGE 18

Del Mar Hills’ Learning Garden blooms for students

Church’s ATA Martial Arts’ free child safety event is Dec. 8

Del Mar Hills Academy is ready to start classes—outside. Since this past summer, there has been a transformation of the school’s outdoor Learning Garden, which offers students the chance to get their hands dirty, study nature, and derive inspiration from it. In July, the school’s Dads Club completed installation of a new fence: After Hills parents Sharone Wheitz and Joe Dunn removed the existing fence, the project was turned over to former Hills student Cameron Arnold of Atlas Construction. Cam and his crew—including family members and several other former Hills students—volunteered their time and expertise to install the new fence. A few weeks ago, another stage was completed in the outdoor classroom: troughs, benches, and a shed. The benches will be placed into a teaching circle, and will also convert into desks for learning. The next phase will start soon: more plants.

Church’s ATA Martial Arts in Carmel Valley will hold a free community Child Safety Open House scheduled for Dec. 8 at 11:30 a.m. The Open House is part of ATA Martial Arts’ Worldwide initiative to help minimize the risk of child safety through education. With active membership exceeding 350,000 worldwide and 1,200 schools in the U.S. and abroad, ATA is positively positioned to reach children and adults with the message of safety and abduction prevention. As part of the safety campaign, ATA has partnered with AMBER Alert. com to increase AMBER Alert notification via e-mail and personal communication devices. Once an AMBER Alert is issued, AMBER Alert.com uses state-of-the-art technology to notify its subscribers of a missing child in a specific area. Church’s ATA Martial Arts is located in Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel shopping center at 3810 Valley Center Dr., Suite 904, San Diego, 92130; www.churchsmartialarts.com; 858720-8531.

Education Matters/Opinion Standing in a bucket BY MARSHA SUTTON A l though results are not yet finalized, Marsha Sutton it appears that the San Dieguito Union High School District has surpassed the required 55 percent needed by voters to approve its bond, Proposition AA. With 55.50 percent supporting the measure as of press time, SDUHSD squeaked it out. On the other hand, it looks like the Del Mar Union School District’s bond, Proposition CC, will not pass, although support for the measure rises each time new postings are provided by the County Registrar of Voters. As of now, Proposition CC has 54.24 percent, just shy of the needed 55 percent. Not to dampen San Dieguito’s victory, but 55.50 is not exactly an enthusiastic endorsement. And Del Mar’s 54.24 is hardly a resounding defeat. It’s noteworthy to re-

BOARD

continued from page 4 In joining the board, Kholos sees money as being the biggest challenge the district will face. “We face less than certain economic times and that impacts the revenue available to our district,” Kholos said. “Part of the equation is understanding that better and finding creative ways to get the resources the district needs to be successful.” He said it’s important to really look at how to allocate money most effectively. “Prioritization is always the toughest thing to tackle,” Kholos said. “I hope we can work together to have productive dialogue on our priorities and with experts in the district in setting those priorities.” While there is work to be done and Kholos said he is up to the task, he said the community is very lucky to have a strong district with solid schools. Quality teaching and giving children the best education possible are things he believes the district does well. “The primary mission no one would doubt or question is that we have the highest level of professional education for the children in the community,” Kholos said. “We have engaged parents and all the indications, whether they’re objective like API scores or the general reviews the district gets, are that we have a very, very successful district.”

member that only a few years ago the threshold to pass these bonds was set at two-thirds. Because it was exceedingly difficult to reach that number, which sends a very clear signal of strong voter approval, the threshold was lowered to 55 percent to make passage easier. But when the vote is so close to that 55 percent, it can hardly be called a mandate either way. As state funding has dried up, school districts finding themselves on the brink of financial calamity have increasingly turned to General Obligation bonds to close a funding gap. But it was never intended that 30-year construction bonds, meant for long-term capital improvements, should pay for routine maintenance, unidentified future needs, and technology with a three-year life span, like ChromeBooks and iPads. San Dieguito’s bond does not specify this use of the money, but many other districts statewide did. The situation has become so dire that districts are grasping at any opportu-

PATRIOT continued from page 16 lowed to come into the country, so I don’t let it happen.” It takes honoring the law, being ready for all things and sometimes relying on a hunch. Dostart is assured, “With my training and experience, you know when something’s awry — your senses are heightened. “I enforce Federal law, not state and federally, marijuana is illegal. The medicinal marijuana here in California is really difficult. Frequently, we can tell by preboarding questions if they’re lying about it. “We’ve had a couple of cases where they say they have marijuana on board and a medicinal marijuana card.” Even with the card, “we still run wants and warrants on that individual, because if they have a criminal record or it’s a second offense, then it becomes a larger issue.” Blocking the flow of drugs, when some are medicinal, is a big gray area to enforce. If 2,000 pounds of marijuana is discovered on the water, “that’s a big enforcement,” quips Dostart, “California is the biggest marijuana producer. The stuff from Mexico is going somewhere else.” Dostart says his best job was working with Tactical

Letters to the Editor/Opinion nity they can to stabilize funding, as has the state. California’s Proposition 30, which passed with 54.9 percent as of this writing, is a tax and not a bond and therefore needed only a simple majority to pass. Had it required 55 percent, it would have failed. The aggravating lie perpetuated by Prop. 30 supporters is that its failure would have resulted in a shortened school year. That’s absolutely not true. What it would have meant is less money for school districts, which have the option to shorten the school year to save money. School districts also have another option: asking employees to carry some of the burden and accept minimal reductions in pay and/ or benefits, something most non-governmental workers have been forced to do during the past years of a stagnant economy. Instead, the public is threatened with cuts to educational services and programs, as if there is no alternative. Even as funding has

If six tons of drugs or weapons, explosives or anything threatening can go undetected on a self-propelled semi-submersible (SPSS), then it’s getting into the country and we have no idea.” “The only rounds I’ve ever shot were from a helo. An individual covered [a second] engine after I disabled the first. In high-altitude pursuit, you have to be comfortable with the crew and comfortable with doing it all right or you won’t take the shot. I fired a second shot aft of the engine to let him know we’re as serious as they are.” In his dangerous world of covert ops on the seas, Dostart was generous to give this interview, and did so only with caution. Keeping a low profile is crucial. Every day BM2 Troy Dostart juggles military politics, changing policies and procedures, job overload and looking for threats. For him the risk lies in doing nothing. “It’s my job,” he’ll say, “When you know you’re successful at what you do and your crew is successful at what they do and you work well together, you walk with your chin up a little higher.”

Roundabout terror EMERSON’S CORNER What a terrifying experience I had today in a non-Del Mar area of the county. I was taking BUD EMERSON a leisurely Del Mar d r i v e through Leucadia and came upon a “roundabout.” I guess that was what it was by the circular nature of the thing. I had no idea what to do. I braked, stymied by this bizarre circular configuration. I knew I wanted to go forward but how was I to proceed? I braked, trying to get my wits about me, but the impatient horns behind me forced me to proceed. Hesitantly, I inched forward. Before I knew it I was in a maze with several cars moving in a non-linear fashion. I gripped the steering wheel tightly not knowing what was going to happen next. I hugged the flowering center to avoid other cars who seemed to know how to navigate this strange geometric design. I circled several times, breathing heavily and sweating knowing that I was unlikely to survive this surreal experience. After a few minutes, I realized that I was finally alone in this hell hole. I saw an opening and made a quick turn to the right and found myself on a comforting lane heading toward my destination. With my head throbbing from this awful experi-

ence I slowed and tried to get my bearings. Feeling relieved that I had survived this ordeal, I moved forward a little more confidently. Suddenly, Oh my God, I came upon another of these monstrosities, another roundabout! What was I to do? I looked for a side street but there was no escape. Before I knew it I was entrapped again, circling out of control. I felt like I was in a tormenting nightmare. I breathed deeply and tried to control my emotions. Finally, I saw an opening and escaped on to a normal linear street, again fortunately headed in the right direction. Within a short distance I was relieved to see a turnoff on to I-5. What a relief! I headed south into four lanes of traffic, always in a straight line. I couldn’t wait to get back to Del Mar. Finally, I found a Del Mar exit on Via de la Valle which took me quickly back to Coast Highway where I had started this terrifying journey. As I turned south into the one lane zone, I felt so relieved after a dozen stop-and-starts to hit that first stop sign. Finally back to sanity! After a few more stop-and-starts, I felt the comfort of another stop sign knowing that I was now almost in the heart of Del Mar where I could proceed linearly through a rational series of stop signs and stop lights with certainty. God, how I loved being home, even breathing in those reassuring carbon fumes. Wink Wink.

Defeat of Del Mar Village Specific Plan celebration may be premature The Del Mar Village Specific Plan proposed by the City was handily defeated by the voters in a national election. While 1,100 voted against it and 800 voted for it, there was celebration that the proposal was dead. But, it appears any celebration was premature! The proposed Specific Plan was required to be put to a vote of the residents, while ordinances to do the same things only require a public hearing before being passed by the City Council. So, the process has begun! At the last City Council meeting, staff presented its view of an amendment to the housing element of the Del Mar Community Plan, which included providing for affordable residential units in the Commercial Zone, and the Council gave its OK. The process has to go before several bodies, with only public hearings, not a vote of the residents. Since that is one of the components of the plan defeated by a vote of the public, I wonder how many of the 1,100 voters who said “No” will make their voices heard at any public hearing for this and the other parts of the Specific Plan that will be passed as individual ordinances, with only public hearings.

HOUSING continued from page 2 the city must do to be in compliance with the law. Because Del Mar is small, built-out and spread out, it’s a challenging area to find space for affordable housing. Not to mention, there are a lot of environmentally sensitive areas in the community, as well as high land cost and concern about property values. Birnbaum said Del Mar is not unique in this challenge. “As I track the progress of Housing Elements of other jurisdictions, they are going though a very similar process, but there are requirements under state law and one of them is to identify housing sites,” he said. “That’s why the direction we are seeking is what are the most appropriate sites to pursue in the next steps of the process.” Mosier said incorporating affordable housing into the city’s plan is going to take major outreach and educational efforts regarding the needs and benefits of complying with state housing laws. Mayor Carl Hilliard added, “We have to get over the ‘not-in-my-backyard’ problem.” For more information about the city’s zones or to view a zoning map, visit http://www.delmar.ca.us/ Government/Pages/title30zoning.aspx.

He also said several new vendors are seeking permits to operate in Del Mar, and he expressed concern that with only six trucks, the gathering may not make it through the winter if the ordinance is passed. Councilman-elect Al Corti said he doesn’t think food trucks are a good idea in Del Mar, not only because it harms existing brick-andmortar businesses that pay rent and taxes, but also because of possible repercussions such as trash and noise. “Why wouldn’t you put

payers for more money. Once employees agree to tighten their belts along with the rest of the nation, then districts claiming poverty might have more credibility. The problems in Sacramento are monumental, but throwing more money into the sinkhole will not solve the fundamental issues at the root of the current panic in the education community: fiscal mismanagement and waste in Sacramento, state lawmakers’ reluctance to take on special interests, and the unwillingness of school districts, including trustees who are elected to be responsible fiduciary stewards of taxpayer money, to enter into serious negotiations with employee unions. The Prop. 30 tax just kicks the can down the road. It won’t be long, if nothing fundamental is done to fix the state’s chronic problems, before voters are faced once again with more requests for higher taxes and bonds. Prop. 30 gives no money to education and does not guarantee that the new money will be used to avoid further cuts to education. Rather, it relies on promises by politicians to be honorable. Backers of the measure claim it will be impossible to ask voters again for more money if promises are broken. But it happens year after year, which is how this mess developed over de-

cades. Lawmakers and locally elected officials afraid to tangle with unions consistently come to taxpayers hat in hand, begging for dollars to sustain a broken system. They pledge each time to spend wisely and threaten painful cuts to programs if their demands for more money aren’t satisfied. More money does not make a better school district, nor create smarter students. Students will not learn more if schools get a fresh coat of paint or some fences. What matters are high standards, educated and involved parents, and a strong teaching force that is rewarded for ability. Washington, D.C., the classic example, spends more per pupil than any other district in the country and has some of the lowest levels of student achievement nation-wide. Although no one can dispute the need to improve California’s quality of education, Proposition 30 will continue to feed a beast growing increasingly out of control and will prolong the pain of an unsustainable system. Furthermore, hitting constituents with more taxes communicates to legislators that they can continue to waste money and ignore education, and all they have to do is beg for more using threats of shorter school years and larger class sizes, and we’ll open our wallets. Sadly, the passage of

eating,” said Grove. “We have a lot of competition around us now, such as Flower Hill, UTC and the Highlands. That’s originally why those weekends were accepted for free parking.” The city, in its report on the matter, stated the alternative proposal, which was declined by the council, was brought forth because there has been shopper confusion in the past, from drivers

who either thought parking was free every day or free all over the city. Other motorists, according to the report, have thought there was no enforcement of any parking and therefore parked dangerously. The council pointed out that a major problem with free parking days is that Village employees abuse the measure and occupy the spaces, when they should be

available for shoppers. “Employers should not let employees use these free spaces,” said Councilman Don Mosier, adding that employers should provide adequate parking and take responsibility for their employees. Parking spots affected by this code will be marked with white bags that indicate free parking.

a moratorium on it now as quickly as you can? … We can then determine over time what impacts it may have in the community,” he said. “It won’t hurt those trucks that are already there … and if you don’t do it, in the summer there may be 20 trucks down there and that may not be what we want to see.” Murcia said the California Vehicle Code allows cities to regulate food trucks in the interest of public safety, whereas a prominent reason that prompted the city to seek a moratorium — competition with existing businesses — does not threaten public safety and therefore does not constitute a mora-

torium. He said if the moratorium goes through for that reason, the Southern California Mobile Food Vendors Association, which he is a member of, would see it as a ban that violates state law. “We’ll immediately take legal action with that,” Murcia said. City Attorney Leslie Devaney said the city can only do an urgency ordinance if there is a threat to public welfare, and the reason for the ban would have to be issues such as lighting, trash and noise. If brought to court, the city would have to show that those concerns are potentially dangerous to the communi-

continued from page 18 been reduced, salaries and benefits for employees have continued to rise and encroach more and more on district operating budgets, with some at 90 to 95 percent of the total budget. Yet union employees, adults in a system that is supposed to serve students first, earn more money regularly, regardless of declining funding – and more importantly, regardless of skill and classroom ability. More years in the system equals more pay, period. All efforts to tie performance to pay raises have gone nowhere fast. Meanwhile, districts cut programs for kids. When personal incomes dip, employees in private industry generally make downward adjustments in their lifestyles and don’t continue to spend at previous levels. But in lean times, financially strapped school districts seem to find it impossible to live within their means and avoid deficit spending, because that would mean negotiating for more reasonable contracts and minor concessions with labor which accounts for the highest percentage of every district’s expenditures. Instead, it’s easier to paint pictures of doom in the classroom and ask tax-

The city may have to extend the ordinance depending on if it can draft a permanent ordinance within 45 days (which falls during the holiday season). Devaney said the city can extend the temporary ban up to a year, but said she does not encourage that. In regard to competition, Filanc said it’s an opportunity for local restaurants to also set up a food truck on the lot. “I think the big issue is going to be trash,” he said.

Prop. 30 and new taxes mean voters approved status quo over reform.

Accomplished photographer’s solo exhibit of Iceland and Antarctica begins Dec. 5 Noted local landscape and wildlife photographer Steve Gould, a Carmel Valley resident, will have a solo exhibition of images from Iceland and Antarctica at Gallery 21, Spanish Village Art Center, 1770 Village Place, in Balboa Park, San Diego, from Dec. 5 through Dec. 17. This summer, Gould spent two weeks in Iceland, felt by many to currently be the number one world destination for photographers. He has captured images of awesome Iceland landscapes, adorable puffins, and beautiful Icelandic horses. Iceland is at latitude 65° north. Two years ago, Gould journeyed to Antarctica and other parts of the Southern Ocean over the course of a month, and reached latitude 65° south. In this new exhibition, Gould juxtaposes images from both ends of the Earth: volcanoes and glaciers, icebergs and geysers, puffins and penguins. Gallery 21 will be open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., with a reception for Gould’s exhibit on Dec. 9, from 1-4 p.m. For more information, visit www.stevegouldphotography.com

Cathedral Catholic defeated Bishop’s 9-8 in overtime in the Division III championship game. Rick LeBeau Photography

Cathedral takes down Bishop’s to win CIF water polo title in overtime BY RICK LEBEAU In the CIF Division III boys’ championship final played Nov. 17 at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex in La Jolla, Cathedral Catholic played catch-up all game long, through regulation play and then into overtime, finally taking its first and only lead of the game with 90 seconds remaining in the second overtime period, then holding on to give coach Bret Ormsby’s squad the crown with a 9-8 final score. Bishop’s actually took control early, scoring on their first possession when senior Chris Hewitt’s shot from 7 meters found its way through a thicket of outstretched arms to hit the back of the net. From there, Viktor Wrobel took over offensive duties for Bishop’s, scoring on a man-advantage situation and then again from outside to put the Knight’s up 3-0 with just five minutes gone in the game. Moments later, Caleb Schultz blocked a penalty shot for the Knights, preserving the shutout. At that point it looked like it was going to be all Bishop’s. When Evan Elig scored with 2:13 to go in the half, the Knights once again had a threegoal lead in a contest that was increasingly dominated by defense. On their last possession of the first half, Bishop’s earned another ejection foul, and called time out. Coach Ormsby told his team that he just wanted a stop on that man-down situation, and even if they went into halftime down 4-1, they would figure out a way to scrape their way back into the game. Ormsby’s words were prescient, as the Dons did shut down the Knights for those 30 seconds, and started the third quarter with a renewed offensive purpose. Coming out of halftime, Jordan Colina scored the first of his four goals to bring the Dons within two, and then took advantage of a 5-meter penalty shot to get Cathedral within a goal. Wrobel then scored his third goal from outside to give Bishop’s a bit of breathing room, but by the end of the quarter, lefty Austin Rone had scored his first goal for the Dons, and Colina added his third goal of the quarter on a counter-attack to tie the game heading into the final quarter of regulation. The fourth quarter continued the seesaw scoring, with Bishop’s taking the lead on another outside shot by Hewitt. Then Elig gave the Knights the lead at 7-6 when he buried a beautiful backhand shot while being double-teamed. Spotting the Bishop’s goalie out of position, Rone then put in a perfectly placed lob shot tie the score once again with a full three minutes to go. Both teams were unyielding on defense until the final buzzer of regulation, and the crowd was whipped into a frenzy at the prospect of overtime play. Both defenses dominated again in OT, as Bishop’s scored to take its final lead at 8-7 on a penalty shot by Wrobel late in the first 3-minute overtime period. Cody Smith knotted the game yet again for the Dons on their first possession of the second overtime, setting the stage for the final act, a 5-meter penalty shot by Colina with 1:27 remaining. Cathedral defended their only lead of the game — 9-8 — for the remainder of the period, as Bishop’s was unable to mount a serious offensive threat. Viktor Wrobel and Jordan Colina led all scorers with four goals each, while Cody Smith, Austin Rone, Evan Elig and Chriss Hewitt each contributed two to their teams’ efforts.

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: The little engine that could is humming again. Santa Fe Christian, one of San Diego County’s most dominant small-school programs of the last decade, just ended a sixyear championship game appearance drought. The Eagles advanced to the Division V finals after outlasting Horizon 49-35 in a wild Nov. 23 semifinal contest. They will be making their first title appearance since 2006, when they won the Division IV championship for their fifth title in six years (they appeared in six straight title games from 2001 to 2006). The Eagles extended their winning streak to six games as they improved their overall record for the season to 9-3. They will play Coastal League rival Francis Parker (8-4) in the championship game on Friday (Nov. 30). The title game is a rematch of an Oct. 2 league game between the two teams that SFC won 35-17. Francis Parker defeated Christian 27-24 in its semifinal game on Nov. 23. SFC took a big early lead and survived Horizon’s frantic fourth quarter rally to advance to the finals. Tony Miro rushed for 124 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries to lead the Eagles. Hakon Bream rushed for 115 yards and one score on seven carries and also had a touchdown reception. Eagles quarterback Hunter Vaccaro was three for four passing for 18 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Conor Keith set the tone for the victory, scoring on a 70-yard return of the opening kickoff. Keith scored on a run from the 1 to give

the Eagles a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, and SFC opened up a 28-0 lead the second quarter on a Miro scoring run from 35 yards out and Bream’s 80-yard scamper. The Eagles had what seemed to be an insurmountable 35-13 lead early in the fourth quarter when Horizon scored 15 consecutive points to turn an apparent blowout into a one-possession game going into the last five minutes of the game. The Eagles quickly restored order, with Miro scoring on a 45 yard run and Vaccaro completing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Bream to give SFC a 49-28 cushion. Horizon added another touchdown in the final minute to close to within 49-35. Horizon scored four touchdowns in an electric fourth quarter in which the two teams combined for 49 points. Vaccaro led the Eagles defensively with 11 tackles and Ethan Sanders and Darrian Borboa each added nine tackles. Volleyball: Cathedral Catholic moved to within one game of a state championship berth with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-18) victory over Windward (Los Angeles) in a state Division III quarterfinal match on Nov. 24. Tatiana Durr had 27 kills to lead the Dons. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 32-4. They were scheduled to play host to Rim of the World (Lake Arrowhead) on Tuesday. ***** Torrey Pines lost to Redondo Union 3-0 (25-17, 25-18. 25-11) in a state Division I quarterfinal match on Nov. 24. Reily Buechler had 13 kills to lead the Falcons, who conclude their season with a 30-5 overall mark. ***** Canyon Crest Academy lost to King 3-1 (25-19, 17-25, 25-16, 25-16) in a state Divi-

sion II quarterfinal match on Nov. 24. The Ravens concluded their season with a 27-12 overall mark. Francis Parker defeated Santa Fe Christian 3-0 (25-14, 25-20, 25-21) in a state Division IV quarterfinal match on Nov. 24. The loss dropped the Eagles overall record for the season to 18-13. Water polo: Cathedral Catholic won the Division III championship with a 9-8 overtime victory over Bishop’s in the Nov. 17 title game at La Jolla High. Jordan Colina scored four goals to lead the Dons. Austin Rone, Cody Smith and Bryce Curry each added two goals. Dons goalie Joe Cleary had 14 saves.

The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 22-7. Cross country: Torrey Pines placed 18th in the Division I state meet on Nov. 24. Senior Ben Jafek placed 50th to lead the Falcons, running the five-kilometer at Woodward Park in Fresno in 16 minutes and six seconds. Junior Tal Braude (16:29) placed 88th and freshman Spencer Dodds (16:34) placed 100th. Senior Nathan Platt (16:41) and junior Kurtis Shaffer (16:50) placed 110th and 119th.

Local psychologist’s new book offers ‘Wisdom on Stepparenting’ BY KAREN BILLING After living a single life for 40 years, local psychologist Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom got married and inherited an instant family with her husband’s three daughters. In addition to being a new wife, she had the added challenge of becoming a stepparent to children who were 10, 13 and 14 at the time. “I had a lot to learn to figure out how to navigate that role and what worked best for my family,” Wisdom said. Her own experience, as well as examples based on clinical cases from her practice that specializes in marriage counseling and blended families, led to a new book, “Wisdom on Stepparenting: How to Succeed Where Others Fail.” Wisdom spent eight years working on the book, completing multiple revisions until she was completely satisfied with the finished product. Wisdom said Dr. Diana Weiss-Wisdom she felt like a weight was lifted when the book was finally published on Oct. 26, now available on Amazon.com and the Barnes and Noble website. “I feel so much happier seeing it published because it was in me and I had to get it out,” Wisdom said. “A lot of my heart and soul is in it; this is my little something left behind. My clients say they can hear my voice in it and it feels soothing.” Wisdom has practiced out of The Cottage Clinic, a cozy space off Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road, for the last four years. She has been a licensed psychologist since 1991. The book is Wisdom’s second, her first was “Stress and a Healthy Ticker,” which dealt with the depression, anxiety and marriage challenges that can occur among patients recovering from cardiac issues. “Wisdom on Stepparenting” is a helpful resource for blended families, whose numbers are growing considering the statistics that 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. That percentage goes up to 60 to 70 percent for second marriages and Wisdom said many times second marriages fail as a result of conflict over issues related to the children. Wisdom admits she struggled in her early years of being a stepparent. She said she did extensive studying and research on how best to take on that role. She found that learning how to become a better stepparent helped her mature as a person. “When you become a parent you mature and grow up at a different level because you have to really think about other people’s needs before your own,” Wisdom said. “It’s really an opportunity for stepparents to work on their own character…you have a better quality of life because you have to rise to the occasion.” Her book features examples from her clinical SEE WISDOM, PAGE B13

Summer Rwanda mission ‘life-changing’ Film captures Santa Fe Christian students’ trip BY JOE TASH A summer mission to the African nation of Rwanda left an indelible impression on a group of Santa Fe Christian School students and, recently, the school premiered a video of the trip that chronicles what one student called a “life-changing” experience. Nine students from the Solana Beach school traveled to the Rwandan capital of Kigali last summer with teachers and administrators, where the group taught English, soccer techniques and even a few magic tricks to students at Kigali Christian School. The school in November held a screening of the documentary film “Mission Rwanda,” which was directed by Aaron Chang, a Santa Fe parent, acclaimed surf photographer and local gallery owner. The film shows the students preparing for their trip, arriving in Rwanda, and it follows them as they visit the nation’s genocide museum, attend a church service, and spend time at the Rwandan school. The students were visibly moved after touring the museum, which documents the 1994 genocide in which some 800,000 Tutsis were murdered by Hutus in a 100-day frenzy of violence sparked by the assassination of the country’s Hutu president, Juvenal Habyarimana. Chang said he originally intended to make a 5- to 10-minute short film about the trip to promote the school’s mission program, but decided to make a longer documentary after seeing how deeply the students were affected by the experience. “By the end of the movie, the comments coming out of their mouths… were so deep and profound, universal things were being said by the students that most adults never get,” Chang said. “In a 12-day period you can actually witness a transformation in these students.” Andrew Appleby, a senior at Santa Fe, agreed that the trip was “life changing.” “I felt like a completely different person when I came back. It definitely softened my heart,” Andrew said. “It made me want to serve a lot more,” he said. “It made me much

Photo courtesy of Aaron Chang more aware of what’s going on. There’s more outside of my community, my little bubble.” Katie North, also a senior, said the experience reaffirmed her desire to become a teacher when she graduates from college. “It was definitely an awesome experience. I feel like we really made a difference. They were so excited in the classrooms,” she said. The students said they left for the trip with the idea of helping the African students, but ended up being helped themselves, both in terms of broadening their compassion for others, and in appreciating the advantages they enjoy as Americans. Andrew said he plans to go back to Africa next summer, while Katie will travel to Thailand after graduation. The film had two purposes, said Tom Bennett, head of schools at Santa Fe Christian, who accompanied the students to Rwanda: first, to promote the school’s mission programs, and second, to highlight the needs of people in places such as Rwanda. Santa Fe has programs from pre-school through 12th grade, and enrolls just over 1,000 students, Bennett said. By the time they graduate, roughly 80 percent of the school’s students have participated in one or more mission trips. Last year, about 200 Santa Fe students took part in mission trips both abroad and within the United States, Bennett said, including countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Central America. While the school can reach the students’ heads, or intellect, through classroom instruction, the mission trips touch their hearts, Bennett said, helping them truly understand what people have gone through in less developed parts of the world. “It’s not ‘till you go and see and understand and develop these relationships that it becomes personal,” Bennett said. Or as Katie North put it: “Love and joy is the best way to go. It’s so much more fulfilling in life.”

CCA senior creates children’s garden at VA Hospital Project earns Olivia Lee a Girl Scout Gold Award BY KAREN BILLING Olivia Lee, a Canyon Crest Academy senior, recently completed her Girl Scout Gold Award service project, creating a children’s garden at the VA Hospital in La Jolla. Lee said that more than 40 percent of service men and women have children and about 41,000 children had parents injured in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. Those children, she said, also run a higher risk for emotional and stress problems. “The VA can be a cold, sterile, scary and daunting place for a little kid,” Lee said. “I just wanted to create a colorful, warm place for them to go.” Lee has been a member of Girl Scout Troop 1129 in Torrey Hills since the sixth grade. “I really like volunteering, I really enjoyed that part of Girl Scouts,” said Lee. “Our troop has such a nice atmosphere and at the end of the year you always

Olivia Lee with the VA’s Lorelei Winn. felt like you got something from it.” While she participated in many volunteer activities as a Girl Scout, one of her favorites took place in the seventh grade when they helped set up tents for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walkers. She remembers how grateful the very tired walkers were. Her freshman year, her troop completed a “very stressful” Silver Award project of planning an encampment for younger Girl Scouts. Lee was in charge of

supplies and she said it was very challenging making sure they had everything they needed at the right time while still staying on budget. At the time she said she wasn’t sure she’d be able to handle the Gold Award process because the Silver had been such a challenge. “Not everything goes as smoothly as you would like it to. There’s always bumps in the way and you have to find out how to work through them,” Lee said. “It was a good learning experi-

ence. In the end, everything turned out fine and that’s what matters.” The process of working on the Gold Award is a long one and Lee got started in December of 2011 in the planning. She knew she wanted to do something with a military-influence as her grandfather was in the U.S. Army and her mother was an “Army Brat.” “(The VA Hospital) just resonated with me because it’s so hard to be a part of a family who sees their spouse or dad

or mom go away,” Lee said. “It’s very uncertain at the VA Hospital and it’s scary and I really wanted to do something to help those kids.” Lee said the VA Hospital has pretty strict regulations about what can and can’t be done on the grounds — she had hoped to build a playground but that was not allowed. Her goal then was to make the outside children’s garden as colorful as possible with a painted mural and hopscotch games. The mural even has a little scavenger hunt within it so children can hunt for items. Lee consulted with VA artist Joel Harris and about 20 volunteers worked from pictures of his artwork to first trace in chalk what the mural would look like. They then painted the chalk lines with black paint and filled in the color. “None of us were really artists and drawing on a wall can be precarious, but I was very happy with how the whole thing turned out,” Lee said. Lee said it was “strange and surreal” to finally see the completed project in July after so much work had gone into it. The hospital waited until Oct. 26 to hold

an opening ceremony, attended by Lee’s family and friends, and several members of the VA Healthcare Systems volunteer service department, including director Lorelei Winn. “Lorelei tells me that she sees children out there every day,” said Lee. As a high school senior, Lee is just wrapping up her college application process. “It’s a relief to be almost done with that,” she said. Lee plans to major in political science. She spent the last few months doing local work for candidates in the November elections. Lee said she is interested in going to law school after college and becoming a civil rights lawyer. She said while many kids have their hearts set on top choice schools, she is “open to it all” and knows it will work out wherever she goes. She said she is glad that she kept up with Girl Scouts through her high school years and will miss her troop mates when she moves on to college. “It’s really strange just in general to be leaving,” said Lee. “It’s weird to think I won’t be around here next year.”

STORY BY

palette brightened.” In his essay titled “Charles Reiffel: Dancing with Nature,” Dijkstra wrote, “Throughout his life, driven by the pantheistic undercurrent of the transcendentalist movement, Reiffel believed that nature must be central to any form of artistic expression.” As you look at his paintings, Dijkstra said, “you see the earth pulsating.” Through his use of “long, vermicelli-style lines,” Reiffel would weave together colors like a cloth of many different colors. Like Van Gogh, Dijkstra added, “he liked to break apart nature.” Reiffel came to San Diego after he was invited to the Pan-American exhibition in Los Angeles. After that show, his work was placed in San Diego’s Fine Arts Gallery. In San Diego, he became enamored with the back country, toning down his expressionist qualities, but his popularity did not match his success on the East Coast. As Dijkstra wrote in his essay, “…The raw emotion of his encounters with San Diego’s back country seems to have scared (the public) off.”

of the man who has been called the American van Gogh, but who later was labeled “too modern.” “People out here don’t know that he had a very substantial career on the East Coast,” Bram Dijkstra Dijkstra said, adding that Reiffel often won prizes over such well known artists of the 1910s and 1920s as George Bellows and Charles Hawthorne. During that period, the artist worked “essentially in the dominant style of tonalism,” he said, explaining that the artists were trying to capture the moods of the atmospheric conditions in subdued colors that simulated nature. Reiffel went off to Europe for a time, where he studied with Carl Marr. When Reiffel returned to the U.S. he eventually settled in Silvermine, Conn., where he became “a true landscape painter.” In 1913, it is likely Reiffel would have encountered the works of van Gogh, Cezanne and Matisse at the Armory Show, Dijkstra said. “Immediately following, his

‘Nymphs’ by Charles Reiffel Dijkstra said, “No matter how good he was, he couldn’t sell his work (here).” As the Great Depression set in, the situation worsened, so Reiffel was thankful when the Works Progress Administration arts project hired him and helped him stay alive, Dijkstra said. The part of the exhibit at the History Center features “four absolutely amazing, astonishing murals that were done for the schools,” said Dijkstra. Fortunately, he added, Bruce Kamerling, the center’s art curator, made sure they were protected when they were taken down

in the 1970s for earthquake safety reasons. Those who are planning to see the Reiffel exhibit must be certain to see both sections of it, Dijkstra advised. They would miss a significant part of the artist’s work if they skipped the part at the museum or the works at the history center. The exhibit, marking the 150th anniversary of the artist’s birth, features more than 90 works, including “primarily oils on canvas but also watercolors, gouaches, and drawings in both pencil and wax crayons,” according to a SDMA press release.

BY KATHY DAY Bram Dijkstra just couldn’t decide whether to pursue art or literature in college, but a scholarship in literature made up his mind for him. Even so, the UCSD professor emeritus of comparative literature didn’t let art fall by the wayside. Over the years, the Del Mar resident has written 10 books, all of them combining his love for the visual arts and he has curated a half dozen exhibitions, including one currently showing at the San Diego Museum of Art and the San Diego History Center featuring the work of Charles Reiffel. The Cincinatti-born artist is known as an American post-impressionist and a representative of California’s plein-air school. Ariel Plotek is the co-curator of the exhibit that continues through Feb. 10 at the San Diego Museum of Art, and through March 10 at the History Center.. Dijkstra became interested in Reiffel’s work 30 years ago when he and his wife, literary agent Sandra Dijkstra, saw their first Reiffel painting. It inspired Bram Dijkstra to begin researching Reiffel and, as he put it, “in the long run, he became sort of a hobby.” Dijkstra will share his insights

Ring the dinner bell: Ranch-style favorites now served at Estancia’s Mustangs & Burros BY KELLEY CARLSON our years ago, Estancia’s Mustangs & Burros transformed from a cosmopolitan watering hole into a full-service, ranch-style restaurant. Today’s version can accommodate anyone — from resort guests to locals — who desires an intimate fine-dining experience, family meal, group celebration or casualevening cocktail. “I love that we have so many different types of guests,” said Danny Fancher, director of food and beverage at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Many of them soak up the Spanish-themed atmosphere on two heated patios. The centerpiece of the main patio is a fireplace decorated with horse-head busts and pottery pieces. Nearby are wood tables with candle centerpieces and wrought-iron chairs. Around portions of the perimeter are long, brick benches amply cushioned with pillows in orange, brown, red and yellow. As evening approaches, lanterns that hang from the trellises overhead cast warm glows. “It’s an amazing atmosphere at nighttime,” Fancher said. Inside the restaurant, which served as a stable in the days before the resort was built, patrons can dine at one of the polished, dark-brown wood tables set with cobalt-blue glassware next to a fireplace and listen to the sounds of Spanish guitar. Or they may unwind in leather chairs at a

■ This week: Mustangs & Burros’ Herbed Seared Sea Bass highboy table by the bar and follow playby-play action on two TV screens. Just like the restaurant’s atmosphere, the fare is fun. It’s basic, yet creatively prepared, and the selection is eclectic. Most items on the menu are listed with beer or wine pairing suggestions; the beers are predominantly craft-style, and the majority of wines are from Australia and Spain. For example, diners may consider beginning their meal with a Jumbo Crab Cake served with a chive remoulade and chayote slaw, paired with a Karl Strauss Windansea Hefeweizen; or perhaps the Mustangs Angus Burger topped with caramelized onions, a choice of cheese and cilantro aioli, along with a Stone Pale Ale. While reading the menu, patrons will

find the entrees divided into sections: ■ Salads and soups such as the Roasted Corn Soup with smoked chile, lime and crème fraiche compose the “Garden” portion. ■ “Farm” offers vegetarian and vegan options, including the Asparagus and Shiitake Risotto with balsamic syrup and sweet pea jus, which goes well with a Sarapo pinot noir. ■ A “Ranch” favorite is Pork Short Ribs, served with house-made barbecue sauce that contains a smokey IPA flavor, along with cocoa nibs and artichoke puree — a dish enhanced with a Falcor zinfandel. ■ “Sea” provides selections like the Pineapple Glazed Salmon with asparagus, heirloom tomatoes, fennel, sweet onion marmalade and crispy shallots, ideally complemented with a Harvest Girl pinot noir.

Although it emphasizes the pairings, Mustangs & Burros does have a full-service bar, which uses its own simple syrups. Among the specialty cocktail highlights is the Hot Mango Hop, a fizzy, chilled beverage with a kick that blends Ballast Point Vodka, spicy mango syrup, lemon juice, jalapeño and Yellowtail Pale Ale. Fancher noted that chef’s specials are available Friday and Saturday nights. For the holidays, Mustangs & Burros will continue to serve its regular menu, plus Jewish-inspired dishes for Hanukkah, Dec. 8-16. Among the items are Leek Latke with Smoked Salmon, Herb Poached Salmon with butter lettuce and lemon-garlic vinaigrette, and a Zinfandel Short Rib with parsnip and roasted vegetables.

‘Education Under Fire’ screening to be held in Carmel Valley Dec. 6 BY JOE TASH San Diego County residents who belong to the Baha’i faith are trying to raise awareness of the persecution of Baha’is in Iran, where the government forbids them from receiving a university education. AND CON The local Baha’is are holding a series of screenings of a 30-minute documentary, called “Education Under Fire,” which was cosponsored by Amnesty International. The next screening, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 2-3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Ocean Air Recreation Center, 4770 Fairport Way, Carmel Valley, 92130. The prohibition against higher education is only one way the Baha’i are persecuted in Iran, said Schahrzade Rezvani of Carlsbad, who left her native Iran for the United States in 1980, just after the Islamic revolution toppled the Shah. Baha’is are not allowed to hold office or work for the government, and even private companies can face pressure for employing them, she said. “Baha’is in Iran are deprived of life and liberty of any kind,” she said. In order to provide college-level courses to young people in Iran, the Baha’i community set up the Baha’i Institute of Higher Education, an underground university that holds classes online, in private homes and other locations, said Rezvani. Over the years, the government has raided BIHE locations, seizing computers and textbooks and arresting teachers and administrators. One such sweep took place in 2011, when about 30 locations were raided, and more than a dozen arrests were made, she said. A campaign to put pressure on the government of Iran includes a website, www.educationunderfire.com, where people can order free copies of the documentary, and sign an online open letter that will be sent to Iranian officials. Rezvani said the Baha’is are the largest religious minority group in Iran. They and their supporters are asking that Iran honor international human rights protocols, which it has signed, by allowing the group to participate freely in higher education. “Leave them alone, allow them to continue their en-

deavors,” said Rezvani, who teaches online business classes through BIHE, and also works as chief human resources officer for a local company. The campaign also advocates for the release of BIHE instructors and administrators, some of whom have been given long prison sentences simply for their role in providing higher education for Baha’i youth in Iran, Rezvani said. “We need them to be released. We are asking the government of Iran to release the members of the Baha’i administration and to ease actions against students and administrators,” she said. Launched in Iran in the 1800s, Baha’i is one of the youngest of the world’s independent religions. The central message of its founder, Bahá’u’lláh, is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification into one global society, according to the faith’s official website, bahai.org.

Please come support Free Flight and bring a wood or jute toy for medium or large birds, donate $25 or more, or stop by to pick a tag off the tree for a specific bird to buy a toy for. All are welcome, and urged to spread the word. All proceeds support Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to the nurturing, rehabilitation, and placement of companion birds. The parrots need toys to stay happy and stimulated. Free Flight constanly needs more toys to provide the birds, in hopes to keep the enviroment encriching for their well being. Free Flight was established in 1981 and has evolved into a one of a kind exotic bird sanctuary thanks to Dr. Stonebreaker’s dream and vision. He wanted to create a perfect sanctuary that would also create awareness and encourage public interaction with these beautiful exotic birds. Many birds have come to Free Flight and have been given a chance to find a new life and that special home. Free Flight suffered a big loss when Dr. Stonebreaker suddenly passed away but family, employees, clients and colleagues are more determined than ever to keep his life-long passion alive. Free Flight is located at 2132 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, 92014. Call (858)481-3148 or visit www.freeflightbirds.org.

Heart of a Child

ozens of talented young musicians from around the county performed in Solana Beach Nov. 10 to brighten the lives of children who have complex congenital heart disease. Money raised at the third annual Heart of a Child concert will benefit the Ariana Fund, a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 in memory of Ariana Miller, a 13-yearold Encinitas girl who died from the disease that year while waiting for a heart transplant. In its young history, the Ariana Fund has awarded nearly $45,000 in grants, including recent awards of $10,000 to expand Resounding Joy’s “Healing Notes” music therapy program at Rady Children’s Hospital for patients with congenital heart disease, and $7,500 to Camp del Corazon, a summer camp on Catalina Island for children with heart disease. The event was co-hosted this year by Loren Nancarrow and Hal Grant. Nancarrow is news anchor on FOX 5 San Diego.

MAEGA event honors Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jacal legacy

onyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jacal was not only one of Solana Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first restaurants when it opened 66 years ago, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a staple in Eden Gardens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not only for its menu but for its community involvement. Continuing with the legacy left by their parents, Tony and Catalina Gonzalez, owners Catalina â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lizaâ&#x20AC;? Salgado and Teresa Rincon donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice when it comes to helping their neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether that means cooking for events at the local schools, lending their space to non-profits or sponsoring sports teams. Perhaps the biggest act of kindness by the Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jacal family, however, has been ongoing for 42 years and resulted in more that $1 million in scholarships that have helped local Mexican American youth attend college. Catalina Gonzalez was one of a few community leaders that provided the financial backing to start the Mexican American Educational Guidance Association (MAEGA), and Rincon and Salgado were honored on Nov. 10 at the Encinitas Senior and Community Center in a tribute event recognizing their longtime efforts to keep their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; generosity alive.

Please join us for our

cases, with the names changed. Many stories of blended families are similar, as many of the same issues arise. Wisdom tried to pick stories that a lot of people can relate to. While the book does incorporate part of her own experiences, she was careful to respect the privacy of her family. Wisdom compares blended families to “little countries” where everyone has their own responsibilities and needs. She hopes the book will help stepparents step up and recognize their role, as it is an important one. Chapters in the book deal with communication, co-parenting tactics, compromises and how to avoid tags of “wicked stepmothers” and “overbearing stepfathers.” One unique chapter features advice from stepchildren, gleaned from interviews with 50 stepchildren of different ages. Much of the book deals with taking care of the marriage in a blended family. Wisdom said one of the biggest keys to stepparenting is making the marriage a priority as the kids have been through enough instability. “It’s so important for the kids to see a decent rela-

tionship and not be in the middle of hostilities,” Wisdom said. In her practice, Wisdom sees both couples and children when treating blended families. Wisdom usually works to get the couple “back on their feet” first and will sometimes bring the kids in for family therapy, usually on their own without the parents. She said it’s important for the children to be able to talk about how they feel, to just be understood and taken seriously. “It’s very helpful for teens to have their own space to talk without worrying about hurting their parents’ feelings,” Wisdom said. Wisdom also holds a couple’s marriage retreat at the cottage based on “Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Dr. Sue Johnson. The retreat has a very high success rate and she recalls vividly the first one they did a few years ago. Wisdom’s husband helped her with the parking for the 15 participating couples and noted to Wisdom that as couples were arriving, all the husbands looked really angry. He told her he wasn’t sure how it would work out. On the second day, he observed their moods seemed a little better. By the third day, her husband elbowed her to point out that every couple was sitting as close as they could to one another, husbands’ arms around their wives, some holding hands, everyone smiling. Wisdom said the workshop is a powerful experience and she loves seeing the results. She recalls one 60-year-old husband at the end of the workshop saying, “I finally understand what my wife wants after 30 years of marriage. She wants me to tell her when I’m sad.” Those kinds of breakthroughs, making relationships and families work better, make Wisdom’s work worthwhile, she said. “I love what I do,” said Wisdom. “My passion really is doing this work and the workshops, they are an amazing experience.” The next “Hold Me Tight” retreat will be held in February. A special retreat for stepfamilies is being planned for April. For more information, visit drdianaweiss-wisdom. com or call (858) 259-0146. Editor’s Note: Wisdom is also a contributing columnist to this newspaper group.

It is said that, in 1941 the Ford motor company produced an experimental automobile with a plastic body composed of 70% cellulose ďŹ bers from hemp. The car body could absorb blows 10 times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp fuel. Because of the ban on both hemp and alcohol, the car was never mass produced.

For fun and flavor, make it a holiday full of ginger The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread.” — William Shakespeare, ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ Gingerbread is the quintessential treat for the holidays. A Christmas without this seasonal delight is like New Year’s without bubbly. Whether your sugarand-spice and candiedsweet vice comes in the form of the adorable Gingerbread Man, decorated cookies, crispy snaps, rich dark loaves or an enchanting gingerbread house, you’re in for a divine sensory experience. The blissful aroma will pull you into the heavenly blend of flavors that’ll hook you for good. (Although, I must confess I do feel somewhat uncomfortable, even cannibalistic, when chowing down on a leg or an arm of the Gingerbread Man!) Historically speaking Gingerbread is an old soul, around since the days of Ancient Greece and Egypt where it was used for rituals and religious ceremonies. Food folklorists believe the 11th century crusaders imported the culinary novelty to Western Europe via the Mediterranean. A popular treat in medieval Europe for festivals and fairs, the gingerbread had romantic and superstitious connotations as Ladies gave their Knights in shining armor a piece for good luck in battle (and secretly ate a “Gingerbread Husband” for wishful matrimonial thinking). Germany was also a big fan of gingerbread cookies aka Lebkuchen, a staple at street festivals, while the gingerbread houses were all the rage following the publishing of the Brothers Grimm tale of “Hansel and Gretel” who stumbled upon the witch’s candy cottage. As for the creation of the Gingerbread Man, Queen Elizabeth lays as solid a claim as any, presenting

to visiting dignitaries baked gingerbread replicas of themselves. On the local homefront Americans have been enjoying the spicy delight for two centuries, while George Washington’s mom was known for baking batches shaped like diminutive kings and eagles. In these parts, Old World Flemish baker Francois Goedhuys of Girard’s Gourmet in La Jolla whips up from scratch nondiscriminatory Gin- First place winner 2011 Gingerbread gerbread Men and their female coun- City Competition, San Diego Epilepsy terparts with wheat Foundation, Petite Category; flour, molasses, cin- By Imelda Guzman, Ana Flores & namon, nutmeg, Nancy Wilson cloves and ginger, of course, all beautifully decorated with glossy icing. The master baker customizes the decorations, and will even write personalized names on the gingerbread people to use as creative (and tasty) place-card settings for holiday tables. Village Mill Bread Company in Carmel Valley bakes both large gingerbread figures (6-inches long), along with little people, tree ornaments, snowmen, stockings, bells, dreidels and menorahs (for Chanukah) in both gingerbread and sugar cookie doughs. They also sell undecorated versions along with colored frostings and pastry bags to jazz up at home. Cupcake Love in Solana Beach offers Gingerbread Man cupcakes topped with vanilla bean whipped cream and miniature gingerbread cookies as flavor of the month for December. Starbucks does a riff on the treat with a gingerbread loaf spice cake smothered in sweet cream cheese icing and candied orange peel. You can then wash it all down with gingerbread latte — a blend of espresso, steamed milk and gingerbread syrup topped with whipped cream and ground nutmeg. As for gingerbread houses, The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego is the creative architect behind the 19th annual Gingerbread City Gala and Structure Competition, with the theme “Myths and Legends,” hosted by the Grand Del Mar Nov. 29. It’s a charity extravaganza unparalleled in magnitude on the West Coast. There are two categories — grand and petite — with strict rules and high stakes, including $2,500 first prize in the grand category.

Gingerbread People Cookies Ingredients 12 ounces unbleached flour 6 ounces brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 4 tablespoons molasses 4 ounces butter (softened at room temperature) 1 large egg Raisins, currants, chocolate chips or gum drops for decorations Method: Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. In the

bowl of an electric mixer blend flour, butter, spices and baking soda until crumbly. Add sugar, molasses, and egg until a smooth pastry dough forms. Roll out dough 1/4-inch thick on a floured board. Cut out shapes with favorite cookie cutters. Decorate facial features with currants, chocolate chips or candies. Gingerly (ha, ha) transfer cookies to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool and decorate with icing, if desired.
