SB Highway 101 project should be completed by early June BY JOE TASH A major renovation project along Highway 101 in Solana Beach, which has drawn complaints from business owners because of restricted access for their customers, is expected to be completed by early June rather than in the fall of 2013 as originally projected, city officials and the proj-

About 14 people attended Monday morning’s meeting at City Hall, where contractor Glen Bullock, City Manager David Ott and the city’s director of engineering and public works, Mohammad Sammak, answered questions and gave updates

Budget cuts loom in the future for Del Mar Union School District BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will be facing some difficult yet necessary cuts as the district is projected to deficit spend by $4.5 million in the 2012-13 school year. At a special meeting on Dec. 12, the board approved its first interim budget and admitted to some grim realities. “We have reserves for a rainy day but that won’t last forever,” said board president Scott Wooden. “We need to start whittling down the amount we’re deficit spending.” For 2012-13, Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services, reported the district is projecting a revenue of $39.3 million with $43.8 in expenditures.

Salary and benefits represent 84.9 percent of the district expenditures. There could still be changes in the projected deficit balance, brought on by property tax revenue, the impact of Proposition 30 (still “unknown at this time,” Birks said), carryover from unrestricted/restricted funds and additional funding for special education is just a projection at this time. “We’re able to maintain fiscal stability in the district this year and next, but not the third,” said Birks in regard to their multi-year projections. “We will be implementing budget solutions and await to see how revenues change at second interim.” See BUDGET, Page 6
Local school districts respond to shooting Teachers never know what role they might have to play in a given day, from providing safety to their students to watching out for their mental health, Bill Freeman, the president of the San Diego Education Association, said Dec. 14 in reference to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Solana Beach says farewell to old council members, swears in Zahn, Zito and Heebner
Outgoing SB Mayor Joe Kellejian honored for many years of service, accomplishments
BY CLAIRE HARLIN In the eight years Dave Roberts served on the Solana Beach City Council, he attended a total of 387 meetings, said City Manager David Ott on Dec. 13 in a farewell to Roberts, who was elected last month as District 3 County Supervisor. Residents have watched him defend issues such as public health and public transit for years, and included among his loyal supporters are his five kids, ages 4 to 17, who tune in to his meetings on TV to say goodnight to their dad before bed. Roberts thanked those who have supported him, but said his biggest thanks go to his family: Wally Oliver, his partner, who Roberts said has made it possible for him to serve; Robert, 17, a senior at Torrey Pines High School; Alex, 12, a 7th grader at Earl Warren Middle School; Julian, 8, a 3rd grader at Solana Vista Elementary; Joe, 5, a Solana Vista kindergartener; and Natalie, who just turned 4 last month. “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last eight years,
BY DIANE Y. WELCH Last Wednesday’s Solana Beach City Council’s Special Meeting coincided with 12-12-12. Not only was the date historic but so was the occasion. There was a festive feel to the meeting that was a celebration of both the swearing in of two new council members, Peter Zahn and David Zito, and incumbent, Lesa Heebner, and the acknowledgment of two outgoing council members, former Mayor Joe Kellejian and former Deputy Mayor David W. Roberts (see story at left). Council chambers was packed wall-to-wall with community members lining up to show their gratitude and to say “goodbye” to Roberts, who is Third District County Supervisor Elect – having served for eight years on city council – and Kellejian, now retired after 20 years of service — five times as mayor. Before that he served four-and-a-half years on the Solana Beach crime commission and three-and-a-half years on the Solana Beach Town Council. Under Kellejian’s watch the train station was built

He helped shepherd the new commuter rail service in North County in 1995 and helped secure two-thirds of voter approval for Proposition A in 2004, which provided $14 billion in transportation funding until 2048. Other accomplishments include the smoking ban, sand replenishment, several construction projects, specifically the new city hall, pedestrian bridges that cross the train tracks, the joint-use library, the freeway interchange, the Coastal Rail Trail and more. Kellejian told those present, “I’m proud to have been a part of this local and regional process for the last 20 years. Your support has been nothing but just fantastic.” Nearly two dozen attendees made comments thanking Roberts and Kellejian for their tireless service. Dr. Ed Siegel, founder of the city’s Thursday night sing-a-longs, led the song “For They Are Jolly Good Fellows” and long-time resident Ruby Edman called for a standing ovation.

Developers hope to open PHR Village Center by first quarter of 2015 BY KAREN BILLING Developers aim to start on construction of the first phase of the Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center by this time next year. Developer Tom Blake, president of Coast Income Properties, said that they hope the center could be open by the first quarter of 2015. Blake made his comments at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board regional issues subcommittee meeting on Dec. 12. Blake said they have not yet resubmitted their plans to the city and they will not submit until they have the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s support for their plan. Changes in the PHR Village plan from the 2010-approved project include the elimination of the movie theater; the addition of a specialty market and drug store instead of a full-service grocery store; and an enhanced open space area that has been favorably considered by the subcommittee. There are community and subcommittee concerns about six-story residential building heights, traffic and the loss of the grocery store from the plans. While subcommittee co-chair Jan Fuchs argued for a full-service grocery store to allow PHR to be a self-sustained community as planned, an informal survey created by Pacific Highlands Ranch resident Karen Dubey actually reflected that of the 70 people surveyed, 83 percent said they wanted a specialty grocery store.
“That tells us that we’re hopefully doing the right thing,” said Blake. “Nothing is going to please everyone but we’re probably going in the right direction.” Blake said that people’s shopping habits are changing as stores like Target offer food, noting off-hand that a Target is planned for the Del Sur area. Pacific Highlands Ranch representative Manjeet Ranu noted that he does the majority of his family’s shopping at Costco, “impacting the community of Santee” on his way home from work. He also pointed out that an Albertsons is only one exit down on Camino del Norte and will be a closer option for many of the new PHR residents. Subcommittee co-chair Anne Harvey pointed out that the Torrey Hills Vons also sports a fairly uncrowded parking lot. Blake said potential tenants they have been considering include The Fresh Market (an East Coast concept that is gradually coming west with three stores in California); Lululemon, an athletic store for women; and Houston’s, an upscale casual dining chain based in Beverly Hills. (However, it is still too early in the process for any final tenant deals.) The PHR Village Center will be about 145,000 square feet. As a reference point, Flower Hill Promenade’s renovation will result in a 165,000-square-foot center.

Empty Solana Beach lot to see development after 20 years of vacancy BY CLAIRE HARLIN For more than 20 years, the lot at the southeast corner of Granados Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive has sat empty, and residents have fought off both residential and commercial development attempts there. But the currently proposed plan for the lot, a nearly 4,000-square-foot single family home, is inching toward approval, getting positive feedback on Dec. 12 from neighbors and the Solana Beach City Council. The council will revisit the item on Jan. 9. Erika Haines, who owns the lot with her husband, Juan Pablo Valdez, said she is eager to live in Solana Beach with their three children, ages 2, 4 and 6, and chocolate Labrador Retriever. When Valdez was asked if he minds stalling the project to address the minor concerns of the council, such as articulation on the north side of the home as well as noise mitigation between the neighbor to the north, Valdez said that waiting a month means nothing in comparison to the lifetime he plans to spend at his new home. The property owners See LOT, page 15
Del Mar Union School Board wants to wrap up McClain case BY KAREN BILLING At its Dec. 12 special meeting, the Del Mar Union School District board issued a statement on the lawsuit with former Superintendent Sharon McClain. “Should Dr. McClain choose not to appeal the court’s decision, this board is ready to put this case behind us,” said President Scott Wooden on behalf of the board. According to the Superior Court’s judgement, McClain is to be rewarded the lost salary and lost tax shelter annuity payments, a net damages award of $154,916.37. The judgement also says she is to receive $45,142 in interest and $18,669 in costs, but Superintendent Holly McClurg said the district is still waiting “for final word regarding the total amount that Dr. McClain is owed and how much the district will pay.” Any payment directly from the district would come out of the general fund, McClurg said. McClain’s attorney Dale Gronemeier said that they have not decided on whether to appeal, but that the board’s position has been articulated to McClain. “That offer has been communicated to me by the district’s attorney and we’re currently discussing that subject,” Gronemeier said. “Settlement negotiations are best not talked about.” McClain was fired in an open session meeting on March 13, 2010 with cause, although the reason was not stated publicly because it was a personnel matter and could not be discussed.

In honor of her father, local resident spearheads large fundraiser for ALS research •“Flying for a Cure — Reach New Heights to Cure ALS” featuring musician Tristan Prettyman will be held Jan. 19 BY KAREN BILLING As the director of operations for Redfearn and Associates, local resident Ashley Constans organizes and oversees dozens of events every year for local non-profits. But one she is planning for January is especially close to her heart — a benefit concert event to fundraise for Lou Gehrig’s disease/ ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) in honor of her father John Constans, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2011. “Flying for a Cure — Reach New Heights to Cure ALS” will be a concert featuring musician Tristan Prettyman on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla Aventine. The evening’s flying theme is a nod to Captain John Constans’ 30-plus year career as a Navy. PSA and US Airways pilot. The funds raised at Flying for a Cure will go toward Team Godfather, an organization founded in memory of Mike Ramirez, who died of ALS on April 12 this year. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive disorder that causes permanent paralysis and destroys nerve cells that control muscle movement. Some 5,600 Americans are diagnosed every year and people typically live three to five years after diagnosis. There is currently no cure or treatment for this disease. John Constans was diagnosed in July of last year. “It’s the worst thing that has ever happened to any of us,” Ashley said. “I’m not going to sugar coat it; it’s the cruelest disease there is because your mind is still super sharp but your body just complexly deteriorates.” It is very difficult for Ashley to see her father in a wheelchair, using a BiPAP breathing mask—her athletic father who was an accomplished pilot and a handyman who “could do anything.” “That’s all been taken away from him,” Ashley said. “It’s not fair at all.” The Constans family has a close connection with Team Godfather as its chairman Greg Sacks has known John and his wife Lynn for over 30 years. While they hadn’t kept in touch all that time, he heard that John had been diagnosed and took the opportunity to reach out to him and his family through Team Godfather, inviting them to their annual Groovin for a Cure event at the Belly Up. “I was so amazed with Team Godfather,” Ashley said. “We’ve gotten the most resources and avenues through Team Godfather than any other ALS-based organization over the last six months or so.” Ashley knew she wanted to get involved and do some-

“Mike’s goal was to raise $1 million. We’re halfway there and we’re not going to stop once we get there. Our momentum couldn’t be better.” Of the 14-member Team Godfather volunteer board, Sacks said all would tell you that it’s their second full-time job, something that they have all taken on because of their love for Mike and what he meant to them. All of Team Godfather’s funding goes to the ALS Therapy Development Institute in Cambridge, Mass., a lab founded by James Allen Heywood after his younger brother was diagnosed with ALS. It became the world’s first non-profit biotechnology organization. “They’re not a big pharmaceutical company, they’re not in it for the pay day, they’re in it for the cure,” Sacks said. Sacks said they believe that ALS is not an incurable disease, but an under-funded one and that Team Godfather can make a The Constans Family: from left: John, Elise, Ashley and Lin Constans difference by getting the funds to the right place. thing to help find a cure for ALS and thought Team Godfa“There’s hope.

Supervisor Pam Slater-Price (center, holding plaque) with her colleagues on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
Outgoing county supervisor Slater-Price honored Supervisor Pam Slater-Price recently received accolades from her colleagues as she prepares to retire after 20 years of service on the County Board of Supervisors. To recognize her leadership, board chairman Ron Roberts presented Slater-Price an official county proclamation. “The name Pam Slater-Price has become synonymous with environmental preservation,” Roberts said. In addition, the supervisor “has received numerous awards from cleanwater and coastal preservation groups for her unflagging advocacy.” Roberts and other supervisors noted Slater-Price’s strong support of public safety, libraries, animal welfare and helping to put the county on a strong financial footing. Supervisor Dianne Jacob told Slater-Price that the two of them were among the few women to have ever served on the Board of Supervisors. She said Slater-Price was an inspiration to all women who are determined to advance their careers. Slater-Price thanked her colleagues and told them that her long tenure had been an adventure. “The culture of county government has changed for the better,” she said. “I am proud to have served the public.” (Look for a story on Slater-Price and her work on the board in an upcoming issue of this newspaper.)

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man who was shot as he allegedly came at a ranger in Torrey Pines State Reserve with a knife pleaded not guilty Dec. 17 to assault charges from his hospital bed. Charles Dustin Collins, 29, was charged with assault on a peace officer and assault with a deadly weapon. Judge Peter Gallagher set bail at $100,000. Collins faces five years in prison if convicted. The shooting took place along a trail shortly after 2 p.m. Dec. 13, San Diego police Lt. Jorge Duran said. A state ranger was responding to a call about a nude man when he came upon Collins inside a tent, the lieutenant said. The ranger ordered Collins out of the tent and to show identification, prompting him to become verbally combative, Duran said. The ranger called for backup, and another ranger arrived a short time later. At some point, Collins allegedly grabbed a knife and turned toward one of the rangers in a threatening manner. Duran said one of the rangers fired a single shot that hit Collins in the body. The name of the deputy who shot Collins was not made public. He was described by authorities as an eight-year veteran of the state Department of Parks. San Diego police detectives are investigating the shooting. A readiness conference was set for Jan. 7 and a preliminary hearing for Jan. 21.

December 20, 2012 benefits continue to increase, expenditures get higher and revenues decline. “Next year we can’t be deficit spending $4.5 million,” Wooden said. “We can deficit spend for awhile but we’re going to have to close the gap…We have to make some cuts and that’s unfortunate but that’s the way it has to be.” In looking at their multi-year projections, Birks said the district could see a 1
percent boost in property taxes in 2013-14 and a possible 2 percent increase in 2014-15. However, teacher salaries will increase 2 percent annually with step and column and the district’s fair share contribution to the state has continued to rise over the past few years. Fair share contribution is estimated at $1,049,103 in 2012-13 and $1,044,868 in 2013-14.
The status of the district’s reserves is also a concern for the board. The board approved maintaining a 15 percent reserve and the district is required to maintain a 3 percent reserve by the San Diego County Office of Education. As it is now, the district is not projected to meet that 3 percent target in 2014-15. “The third year out is not good for us,” Birks said.

$7 million in interest on bonds sold to finance the work. Along with sprucing up
the appearance of the corridor, the project is intended to slow down traffic, enticing motorists to stop at restaurants and shops, said Nichols. Parking along street will also be increased, and pedestrian crosswalks will be added, improving access from residential neighborhoods on the east side of Highway 101. City Manager David Ott said the work is progressing more quickly due to a number of factors, such as overlapping some of the phases of the project so they can proceed simultaneously, doing some construction work
at night, and some technical changes that have speeded up construction. Most of the work is taking place on the west side of Highway 101. Currently, construction work along the project area has eliminated parking on much of the west side of the road, and customers have to park on the side or rear of businesses. Signs and orange cones direct motorists to areas that cross the construction area. Soon, crews will begin installing curbs, new sidewalks and pavement along the road, said Sammak. The sidewalks will be done in six

TPHS to host Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament Dec. 26-29
Torrey Pines High School is hosting its 23rd annual boys prep Under Armour Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament presented by Lucky Duck Foundation Dec. 26-29. Tournaments will be held in five divisions, with games played at Torrey Pines (National Division), La Jolla Country Day (American), Santa Fe Christian (Senator’s), Rancho Bernardo (Governor’s) and Carlsbad High School (Mayor’s). Teams from the United States and British Columbia, Canada will be in attendance. Tickets can be purchased at the door. For more information, including a complete list of teams, directions to the schools, and more, visit theholidayclassic.org. segments, and businesses will get at least one week’s notice before work on their section begins, he said. “But there will be access to every single business” during the construction, he said. Sue Kelly, who owns an interior decorating business and a dress boutique in the same building along the 101 corridor, asked whether the city is making plans to have a grand opening once the work is complete. She said some businesses have suffered a steep loss of business since the work began. “Whether we can all survive until this is done, who knows?” she said. Ott said the city has been working with the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce on promoting the benefits of the renovation project, and would be “very happy to work with business and property owners.” The city has also relaxed its sign regulations and eliminated permit fees for banners and A-frame signs for businesses in the project area, so merchants
can let potential customers know they are open during construction, Ott said. City officials stressed that once the work is completed, the 101 corridor will be transformed into a much more pleasing attraction for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, which in turn should stimulate the local economy. “I think it’s going to look great. We don’t want to hurt the businesses. We want you guys to be successful,” said Nichols. After the meeting, Kelly said business at her dress boutique is down by 50 percent, and the Christmas shopping season has been a bust. She and other merchants at the meeting urged the city to do more to let people know about the project, and encourage residents to support local businesses during construction. But she also said the project should give a big boost to the area’s economic prospects once it’s finished. “It’s a huge step in a positive way for 101 to get on the map,” she said.

Local woman brings successful equine performance products to the human market BY CLAIRE HARLIN In 2007, a local line of all-natural equine supplements called Equine Matrix began to turn heads when Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense used the products. But horses weren’t the only ones benefitting from the medicinal mushroom-based products — knowing the supplements were safe for humans, too, trainers and jockeys started taking them. “Horses are a great laboratory. You can change one variable in their regimented diet and easily see changes and attributes to that,” said Sandra Carter, CEO of Matrix Healthwerks, which created the Equine Matrix line in a facility nestled in the hills of San Marcos. Carter said Street Sense’s jockey, Calvin Borel, used the products — which are said to be packed with immunity-enhancing vitamins and antioxidants that are naturally found in mushrooms — and notables like German dressage star Isabell Werth, an Olympic and World Championship medalist, began to catch on as well. There were 10 products in the equine line, but one of those in particular, Carter said, was found to provide natural and healthy energy when taken by humans. “This great blend worked well for thoroughbreds and performance horses, and a number of us experimented with it and saw it was a great athletic blend,” said Carter, who has worked as a healthcare professional for more than 30 years and has a PH.D. in preventative medicine from the University of Southern California. “For those who loved smoothies, we were putting it in smoothies.” The folks behind Matrix Healthwerks were on to something, but they just had to do something about the taste of the horse product, which Carter described as “earthy and musty.” “We knew we had to come up with new delivery mechanism,” said Carter. “Amid all the bad press about energy drinks, we knew this would take off … If you look at how a lot of products are tested, they are tested on animals first, but in this case this was something that was found to be really good for the animals.” Carter said it was a long process to get the flavoring just right, but the company finally developed the product into a sugar-free, citrus flavored powder that mixes with water or other beverages. “It’s not so overly flavored that it tastes like a soft drink,” said Carter, adding that her preferred consumption method of the powder, which contains natural Yerba Mate and vitamins in addition to the medicinal mushrooms, is in a smoothie. “You know when you drink it is has some nature in it,” she said of the taste. Called NRG (pronounced “energy”) Matrix, the product has been popular in online sales and at Mary’s Tack and Feed in Del Mar, Carter said, and it will see its official launch in retail stores this month, with the opening of Del Mar’s Beaming vitality bar on Dec. 19

positive feedback has already started to fuel the growth of the NRG matrix brand. “We have to grow grassroots because that’s how this will catch on,” she said. “Just like in the horse world, in any community people talk to each other, and like any product, they validate it when it’s good.” For more information on NRG Matrix, visit www. nrgmatrix.com.

It will also be in Whole Foods stores on the East Coast soon, she said. Carter said the product has the backing of a scientific advisory board, including Rancho Santa Fe doctor Dennis Carlo, who once worked with the late Jonas Salk on a proposed AIDS vaccine. Physician and scientist Sheldon Hendler of La Jolla, who co-authored the well-known “Physician’s Desk Reference,” also backs NRG Matrix, and the company even partners with City of Hope, which recently received a $15 million grant to research the benefits of medicinal mushrooms. Whitney Benjamin, the company’s marketing director, said there’s going to be some new challenges marketing to people instead of the horses, but just like the products grew among those in the equine industry, word of mouth and

Students learn theatre terminology, stage directions, how to take down blocking, techniques for entrances and exits and other skills that combine the creative with the technical. Students work on all these skills while putting together a short version of “Alice in Wonderland.” This class is wonderful preparation for being in a stage play, according to De Anda.

San Diego Youth Rugby Mustangs Club registration still open for U12 and U14 levels Rugby season is just around the corner, with matches beginning in January. The San Diego Youth Rugby Mustangs Club, which plays and practices in Carmel Valley, is keeping registration open for the U12 and U14 levels only. The Mustangs are the most successful Rugby Club in San Diego County. The U19 Mustangs are the reining Southern California Champions, while the Torrey Pines Rugby Varsity — managed by the Mustangs — are undefeated on the pitch over the past two years. Last year’s Torrey Pines Junior Varsity won the Southern California Championship, while the upand-coming U8 team won the prestigious Back Bay Tournament. Two members of the U19 Mustangs were invited to play on the USA national team last season. Rugby 7’s (the seven-man version of the sport) will be an Olympic medal event in the 2016 Olympics in Sao Paolo. The USA Eagles train year-round at the Chula Vista Olympic Center, while 31 schools and clubs in Southern California (15 in San Diego County) are growing the sport in anticipation of becoming a new CIF High School sport. San Diego is a Rugby hotbed. If you have an active young boy, or a boy you want to be active, who likes camaraderie and grass stains, and might be a future Olympian, or just looking for some excitement, then consider Rugby. At the U12 and U14 level, the emphasis is on fun, safety and learning the sport. Travel is typically only within San Diego County. The Mustangs play Saturday’s at Carmel Valley Middle School, and practice twice locally during the week. All Mustangs head coaches are certified by USA Rugby. For more information, visit www.sandiegoyouthrugby.org.
A multitude of scholarships available through online SD Foundation application process The San Diego Foundation believes everyone has a right to higher education, and this year’s launch of the Common Scholarship Application is more important than ever. To meet the anticipated increased demand from a sluggish economy, The San Diego Foundation has launched an online scholarship application to help ease the process for students applying. With one application, students can access more than 100 scholarships held at The San Diego Foundation. The Foundation plans to award upwards of $2.5 million in scholarships in 2013. The Foundation’s Community Scholarship program offers a wide variety of scholarships to graduating high school seniors, current college students, and adult re-entry students. Awards are granted to four-year universities, two-year colleges, and graduate and trade/vocational schools. Those interested in applying for scholarships can access the Common Scholarship Application and other scholarship opportunities on our website at www.sdfoundation.org/ scholarships.

Gifts from the garden at DM Heights Elementary
T
he children and the Garden Club at Del Mar Heights Elementary School are making holiday gifts this season. They are using lavender grown in the garden with orange and peppermint essential oils to make a sugar scrub, which will be packaged in decorated containers with incredible student-drawn artwork. They are also decorating bags and filling them with bulbs of daffodils, tulips, and amaryllis. These truly are garden gifts from the heart. The vision of the Del Mar Heights Elementary School Garden Club came about when a few moms got together and decided they wanted to encourage the children “to get their hands in the dirt, teach them to plant seeds, tend to the garden and encourage their families to join in on the fun while spending quality time together.” This vision has grown each week and children of all ages are playing and working together. There is always a table of fruit and vegetable available for the children as an after- school snack. These snacks entice other children who are not part of the club to come over and learn about garden club activities. Some of the foods that have been served are pomelo, pomegranate, guavas, passion fruit, and banana chia seed muffins made from bananas grown in the school garden. The students and parents are delighted to try these exotic foods. The Garden Club does monthly and seasonal projects in addition to regular tending to the gardens. The garden has prolific fruit trees and vines that were planted by Betsy Schulz when she designed the garden. This year the club members have made scarecrows, natural fermented passion fruit soda, and homemade sugar scrub, and the kindergarten and first grade learned to make muffins from the garden’s bananas. The Del Mar Heights Garden Club has many more projects planned for 2013. These include teaching nutrition in an outdoor environment, and creating garden-related crafts. Tending to the gardens has been tremendously fun for everyone and adds a new dimension to the learning process. PHOTOS/JON CLARK

continued from page 1 ceptional� staff on ensuring student progress and making their program so popular. “I’ve worked in all parts of the county and the staff in Del Mar really loves their jobs and it shows in the work they do with the students. It’s intoxicating; their passion makes you more passionate about what you do. It’s an awesome program to support.� Tirri went to the awards ceremony at the St. Regis in San Francisco to receive the award with Del Mar Union School District Superintendent Holly McClurg, Director of Pupil Services Cara Schukoske and District Board President Scott Wooden. “I didn’t realize how important this award was until we were sitting in a room surrounded by people who do amazing things in education,� Tirri said of her fellow award recipients, such as those who have programs for homeless students or run school-based, nocost dental clinics for underserved children. Because the award is so prestigious, Tirri said the bell, which actually rings, will soon find a safer home at the district office, rather than on her desk. The CDC Preschool has been at Sycamore Ridge for three years, moving from the old district office at the Shores property. Over the summer, the preschool was split between Sycamore Ridge and Ash-

Students are being prepped for kindergarten using the Big Day for Pre-K curriculum, which features pre-literary skills and readings and play-based learning. All of the classrooms have at least two teachers. “The reason the program is
so great is because the staff here is exceptional. They are dedicated, there’s not a lot of turnover, they love the students and are all incredibly knowledgeable and creative, finding ways to teach the program in a fun way,� Tirri said. A lot of the day (which is 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. or a half-day, 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) is spent mainstreaming the special education children — the CDC children go into their classrooms and special education children will go into CDC classrooms. This interaction helps children to bond and navigate social skills. The special education students also eat their lunches with general education children, as well as play on the playground togeth-
“It’s a very rare thing to do reverse and typical mainstreaming, and to have the classrooms so available,� Tirri said. Every day children come to class with a schedule—they are given three choices of activities they can do (one day last week was books, art or blocks) and then the class comes together for a structured play activity. For the holidays, children set up a store. The “customers� shopped and then selected a small, medium or large box which the “employees� then practiced ringing up with a cash register and wrapping the gift. The 3-year-olds classroom recently smelled like gingerbread as they had just baked cookies and the “gym� had an obstacle course of things to slide down or climb through with packing peanuts acting as snow. The gym is also where the students have done yoga this year. The preschool’s occupational therapist brings in her therapeutic service dog Mr. T about four times a week and he serves as a great complement and incentive during lessons. “Every teacher has great ideas, we are never short on fun activities here,� Tirri said. Tirri said it was the district’s Director of Early Childhood Julie Geisbauer’s idea to apply for the Golden Bell and together they crafted their application. A CSBA representative was sent to the school and spent about two hours
Children do yoga at the CDC. with Tirri checking out what makes their program so successful. “She was really excited about the program,� Tirri said of the representative. “We established a good connection to support other pre-kindergartens in the county to mimic what we have here.� At the CDC, Tirri stays busy, coordinating the program and spending time in every classroom every day. She knows all the students, their parents and what the students had for lunch that day— it has become a very close-knit family community. They are even working on having their own PTA as parents have been so supportive and want to do more to support the program “It has surpassed any of the expectations I had, � Tirri said of the CDC. “ It’s unique and we have so much fun. The children who come through here know the ropes and they’re ready to go to school.�

TPHS dominates Saints on sloggy rugby pitch BY TIM PICKWELL The rain let up early Saturday morning, but the Torrey Pines Rugby Club never did. They were relentless in pounding St. Augustine, 48-7, in a San Diego Section, Gold Division, High School Rugby match. The game was played at OMBAC’s hidden gem of a field next to the San Diego River Bed in a far corner of the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot. The water table at “The Little Q” is just a few inches below the manicured pitch, making for a muddy, slow field. But, Torrey Pines’ young and energetic forwards were able to defend the middle of the pitch and get the ball out quickly to a series of fleet backs. Senior Wing Michael Cahill took a pitch from Fullback Bernardo Olivas, and streaked down the left side of (Left) Torrey Pines Fullback Bernardo Olivas the field for the first score. A few minutes pitches to Senior teammate Kevin Cahill in later, Cahill did it again to put the Torrey the opening minutes of a High School RugPines squad up by two trys. After a lapse on offense gave the Saints by Match played Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012, an interception and a quick, cheap score, it at the “Little Q.” was the other Wing, Junior Jake Goana, who took a pitch, turned the corner, and ran for a long try. The forward pack kept St. Augustine’s larger forwards from getting any momentum, repelling every advantage at the point of tackle. Rugby, unlike football, is continuous play and the ball carrier can keep the play alive by presenting the ball to a larger teammate from the turf. This is called a ruck, and makes for an exciting, albeit tense struggle between the forwards. The experienced Saints dominated the line-outs, but the Torrey Pines pack pushed the Saints off the ball all day in the scrums. The real advantage was in the backline, as the Torrey Pines backs proved more athletic as the game wore on. Scrum Half Seth Hill added a score, as did Senior Center Chase Pickwell, and rookie Senior Dillon Loyek, a recent Varsity football player. “This team worried me, especially after our sloppy effort last week,” said Head Coach Matty Sandoval. “And I don’t mean St. Augustine. However our boys paid great attention in practice, and executed our game plan perfectly. If we play every game like we did today, this group can be very special.” Kicker Alec Mills rebounded from last week’s slow start, and hit on a number of difficult conversions. In rugby, the “point-after-attempt” is not placed in front of the goal posts, but is placed based on where the try (i.e. “touchdown”) was scored. A score in the corner of the try zone can make for a technically challenging angle kick. Mills showed power and aim in

Sharks Girls U9 White Team wins Coronado Holiday Cup The Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Girls U9 White team won the Coronado Holiday Cup soccer tournament held on Dec. 15 and 16. They were undefeated all weekend. In an impressive team effort the girls won 3-2 against Express, 7-3 against Nado and 1-0 against Scripps Red. The finals ended in a 3-2 victory over Scripps Red. The Sharks U9 White team is coached by Dustin Hammond. converting 7 out of 9 kicks. The defense was paced by senior Jonathon Raby, who was all over the field making tackles and disrupting the Saints offense. He may have been inspired by the presence of the St. Mary’s College coaches. St. Mary’s is a collegiate rugby powerhouse, and on the short list of college programs Raby is looking to attend. Mike Cox, another experienced TP forward lent his always steady hand in setting up the defense, and recycling the ball in the rucks. Beefy, hard-hitting newcomer Miles Ahles looks to be a natural born rugger, after earning his first start. Torrey Pines will take a breather for the Christmas Holiday break, and resume play Jan. 5 against Point Loma High School. Although every team is a test, Cathedral Catholic looms ahead also starting the season 2-0. That game will be hosted by CCHS on Jan. 19.

Education Matters/Opinion Twenty dead children have to matter BY MARSHA SUTTON Y e t again. W a s there anyo n e Marsha Sutton who did not walk around in a daze last Friday, thinking about the children in their lives and how to protect them forever from random acts of incomprehensible violence? The anguish of the parents of those 20 innocent 6and 7-year-old children gunned down in Connecticut is unimaginable. And yet we imagine … and what we come up with is emptiness, anger, despair, hopelessness, loneliness and fear. And still all that is not enough, not nearly enough, to fully understand the pain. Trying to maintain equilibrium while finishing errands Friday, glued to the radio for more news, I tore myself away and wandered into the Carmel Valley Library to return a book. Meeting the eyes of other adults, some clinging tightly to their children, there were no smiles or pleasant greetings. Words were not necessary to communicate the shared horror. We have turned this country into a madhouse with deranged, and armed, inmates loose upon society. I’m certain the founders of this country did not foresee this possibility when they wrote the Second Amendment. More than 11,000 homicides by firearms were recorded in this country last year, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Division of Vital Statistics. And since the Columbine killings in 1999, we have suffered through more than 30 mass murders, many at schools. The words – “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” – must have sounded good at the time, a time when America’s founders understood how fragile their new democratic government was and how easily liberty and freedom can be stolen by tyranny, given the pages of history. Protecting the people from autocratic dictators, both externally and from within, by allowing citizens to be armed, was right then. But what a monster we have created. Why do people need assault weapons? Are people so paranoid and insecure that they feel the need to “protect” themselves with weapons that turn living tis-
sue into mincemeat in seconds? Some of these children had up to 11 bullets in them. Eleven! How many bullets does it take to kill a defenseless 6-year-old? There are those who now argue that the crazy people have easy access to guns so the sane people need more guns to protect themselves. A “vicious cycle” doesn’t begin to describe the insanity of this line of reasoning. Yes, there will always be the unhinged who find ways to get guns even with stricter controls. But we cannot allow ourselves to become paralyzed into inaction just because we can’t control every violent act. At least we could stop some. Nothing will change unless the gun zealots back off the warped mentality of the “from my cold, dead hands” Charlton Heston sloganeering and wake up to the reality their intransigence has helped to create. Catchy slogans – “guns don’t kill people; people kill people” and “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” – trivialize and demean the seriousness of the problem we must confront as a nation in mourning. Fortress America After each massacre, the public hears the admonition from falsely contrite gun lovers that now is not the time talk about gun control but is the time to come together and comfort one another. The U-T San Diego, in an editorial just after the shooting, stated, “We should hold off before we settle into our usual back and forth about gun control, violence in pop culture, and what these mass murders say about America.” Hold off? Until when? Suggesting that we do the victims a disservice by focusing on anything but their grief is a disingenuous attempt to divert and distract the public from one of the most pressing issues we face in this country. A discussion about finding solutions to the basic problem, apparently, has no place in the public discourse until some sort of artificially established “grief waiting period” has passed. But no amount of time can ever pass for these families to end their grieving. When exactly would be a good time to talk about gun control and what the proliferation of assault weapons and high-power ammunition means to our country? If not now, when?
Some have said it’s not a gun problem, that instead we need faster interventions and better treatment of those with severe mental disorders. But it’s not one or the other – it’s both, and probably a whole lot more as well. Enforce stricter gun laws, and identify and treat the mentally disturbed. But in the meantime, we need protection. Because until we can turn this around (if ever), we must acknowledge that we have become Fortress America and find ways to keep our children safe. That may mean security gates at schools, metal detectors, backpack checks, armed guards. We have bags checked at airports, government buildings, many museums and historical sites. Should we leave our children more vulnerable than airplane passengers? Some say it turns our country’s public spaces and facilities into prisons, with gates and metal detectors, and “gives in” to the violence. Some say we must live free and that freedom is more important that protecting against the random violence of lunatics. But “Live free or die” was not meant to apply to vulnerable children with no way to protect themselves from senseless slaughter. A tipping point at last? Last Friday night, I saw The Hobbit at a large movie cineplex in Mira Mesa. With Sandy Hook Elementary on everyone’s minds, and the theater shooting in Aurora still fresh, would movie-goers have objected to a bag search? Not in the least. Of course determined crazies can get in anywhere. They can scale a fence, shoot their way through a locked door or gate, break through windows. But we can at least try to make it harder for them to access and kill peaceful people gathered together in public places. Locally, how about banning the gun shows at the Del Mar Fair? For a small town that once declared itself a nuclear-free zone, gun shows should be anathema to Del Mar. Attend the next local gun show. See how easy it is to buy anything you want, immediately, with little if any waiting period. Look at the firepower and ammunition for sale there that make the old style six-shooter revolver look like a pop gun. Then try to tell yourself the founders of this country See CHILDREN, page 15
Letters to the Editor/Opinion
One View: Footnotes to November election BY GORDON CLANTON •After his Prop 30 tax increase passed by 8 percentage points, Jerry Brown has an easy path to re-election in 2014. Business will back the moderate Brown as a check on the legislature where Democrats won two-thirds majorities in both houses. Republicans, whose share of registered voters in the state has slipped below 30 percent, have no hope of winning the governorship in the near future. Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein was re-elected without meaningful opposition. Democrats hold all state offices. The Republican Party has become superfluous in California politics. •It’s official: Including expenditures by outside groups, the 52nd Congressional District race in which Democrat Scott Peters narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Brian Bilbray was the costliest in California at $16.8 million. Truly competitive congressional seats are rare and therefore very expensive. •Of three local measures on education funding, only Proposition AA (San Dieguito Union High School District) received the 55 percent vote needed to pass. Both Prop CC (Del Mar Union School District) and Prop EE (MiraCosta Community College) were supported by more than half of voters but failed to reach the required 55 percent. It’s a bad law that routinely thwarts the will of the majority on education funding. As the population ages and as smaller proportions of voters have kids in school, it becomes ever more difficult to pass school bonds. •Oh, joy! The One Paseo shopping center proposal for Carmel Valley has been reduced from four times what zoning permits to only three times what zoning permits. Kilroy was here. •Former Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard was the subject of a nice piece in the local press. Hilliard, who spent more than $300,000 of his own money running for county supervisor, finished third in the June primary behind Steve Danon and the eventual general election winner Dave Roberts of Solana Beach. •After hard-fought campaigns pro and con, Del Mar voters decisively rejected the Village Specific Plan (Proposition J) 58-42 percent. The VSP would have increased densities in the commercial zone, allowed apartments above businesses on the west side of Camino del Mar, narrowed that street to one lane in each direction with diagonal parking, and replaced some traffic lights and stop signs with roundabouts. Now is the time for reconciliation, not triumphalism, not resentment. Now is the time to open a new conversation to heal a divided community and seek common ground for moving Del Mar forward. Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu. Previous columns available at: http://www.delmartimes.net/columns/
Traffic congestion a serious issue in emergencies My wife and I had some errands to run recently — post office, library, shopping center, etc. As we left the Del Mar Plaza shopping center on Del Mar Heights Road, I couldn’t help but think of two things, First Responder response time and the One Paseo project. You see, it was 3 p.m. and the traffic was backed up west bound on Del Mar Heights Rd. from east of El Camino Real (one block from the both the Fire Station and the Police Station) to I-5. That is over a mile of traffic on a major route of response, stopped. Parked. This was an inconvenience for me [that day]. It could easily mean the difference between life or death in a medical emergency, or success or failure in fighting a fire. And, of course, the longer it takes to respond to a fire, the more likely it is that a civilian or firefighter will be killed or injured. Now consider, the area where One Paseo is planned is still a dirt lot. Even if the project is approved at the level it is already permitted for we will face a real challenge. If Kilroy is allowed the variance they expect, to double the size of the project, it will be nothing less than a disaster. Stacy Silverwood, Retired Captain of the San Diego Fire Rescue Department

SHOOTING continued from page 1 Union School District and Solana Beach School District superintendents issued the following statements on each district’s respective web site: “We are extremely saddened by the tragic shooting that happened at an elementary school in Connecticut,” said Del Mar Union School District Superintendent Holly McClurg. “Our sympathies are with the families and the community involved. We want to reassure you that our standard safety measures are in place at all our schools, and we will continue to maintain vigilance and supervision by the adults on campus. “Resources for discussing tragedies such as this with your children can be found on the Del Mar Union School District website, under the section, “Ways Parents Can Help During Difficult Times” at http://www.dmusd.org. “The most important thing we can do as adults is reassure our children that they are safe.” Solana Beach School District Superintendent Nancy Lynch said, “ We want to offer our heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the parents, staff and community of Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut, who suffered a horrific tragedy on their school campus. “Your child’s safety is our highest priority. To support our parents in addressing this tragedy with their children, our school principals have sent an electronic message containing additional information.” A link titled “Tips for Talking to Children After a Disaster” is on the Solana Beach School District web site at http://www.sbsd.k12. ca.us/Page/1. Terri Davis, principal at Carmel Creek Elementary School, issued the following statement on the school’s web site: “We want to re-assure you that in spite of these terrible tragedies, schools continue to be one of the safest places for children. We also want to assure you that all Solana Beach Schools have emergency plans in place that are practiced throughout the year. Your children’s safety is our highest priority. “Please know that our school psychologist and guidance assistant will be prepared to speak with students and parents who are having a difficult time coping with this tragedy. “Moments like these remind us just how important
December 20, 2012 it is to hug our children more closely.” San Diego County Superintendent of Schools Randy Ward said the education system has an unspoken agreement with parents to keep their children safe and send them home a little smarter. ``All of us who work with children take our responsibility to keep them safe very seriously,’’ Ward said. ``It’s at the heart and soul of everything we do. You can’t educate children without them being safe. As this morning’s incident shows, sometimes, in spite of our best intentions, evil forces upend our unspoken agreement.’’ Ward encouraged parents to speak with their children about the importance of alerting the proper authorities if they see or hear something suspicious on or near their campuses. He said local school administrators will review safety plans and, along with counselors, discuss the incident with students and answer their questions. San Diego County mental health experts Alfredo Aguirre (Director of County Behavioral Health Services) and Piedad Garcia (Assistant deputy director of County Behavioral Health Services) had this advice for parents issued via a press release: “Incidents like this can generate a lot of fear and anxiety that can last a few days or weeks. That’s why it’s important for parents to be aware of their children’s response and be ready to talk openly about it, without providing too many details. Parents should control the amount of information children have access to and answer their questions simply without dramatizing the incident,” said Aguirre. “This helps to diminish fear and anxiety in children.” The County operates the Access and Crisis Line seven days a week, 24 hours a day, where people can get help for issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, or other mental health challenges. The number is (888) 724-7240. — City News Service and staff reports
CHILDREN continued from page 14 meant for it to be like this. Through this unspeakable evil, we may have finally reached the tipping point in the public’s demand for stricter gun control. The grief and fury, beyond containment this time, are tied to the ages of the victims and their innocence and helplessness. Twenty first-graders
and six brave teachers and staff members were murdered at a school that could have been one of ours. Every face we see today of a firstgrader reminds us now of the babies lost, the parents bereft, a community suffering with immeasurable sorrow. With broken hearts, we must come together to hold politicians’ feet to the fire on sensible gun control laws. Make this a litmus test for voter support. And insist on more funding to treat the violent, mentally disturbed youth in our midst. As painful as it is, we need to keep the tortured images of 20 tiny coffins in our minds, and remember their names and faces, to bolster our resolve to demand common sense approaches to helping us mend as a society, to bring order out of chaos, to create something meaningful from inexplicable brutality. We must do what we can to stop this madness. This time, we can’t give up or give in or forget. We must try. For the sake of the dead children, to honor their memories and pay tribute to the sanctity of their brief lives, we must try. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.
COUNCIL continued from page 2
Mike Nichols took over as Mayor of Solana Beach for the next year, and Thomas M. Campbell will serve as Deputy Mayor. Sworn in to serve on the council for four years were David Zito, Peter Zahn and incumbent Lesa Heebner. Heebner, a former kitchen designer and businesswoman, has served on the council since 2004 and has lived in Solana Beach for 34 years. Before her council involvement, she led a grassroots campaign to redesign the Coastal Rail Trail. She is the primary representative from Solana Beach on the SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) Board of Directors, and she serves on about 10 other city ad hoc and advisory committees. Zito, a resident of 21 years, is a software architect for Hewlett-Packard and has four years of experience on the city’s view assessment committee. He’s volunteered for parks and recreation events for eight years and he leads trips at the YMCA as part of its father-daughter program. Zahn, a five-year resident, is a business attorney and owner of Solana Beachbased Counsel Direct Law
Offices. He has served as vice president of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce for four years, and he’s the chair of the U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce. He has also chaired the annual Fiesta del Sol event.
KELLEJIAN continued from page 2 we do for ourselves die with us, what we do for others remains and is immortal.” The celebration did not end that evening. A surprise party was held for Kellejian at the Wild Note Café on Thursday evening (see photos from the event in a future issue). Organized by former Solana Beach Mayor Marion Dodson, and Louise Abbott, about 40 people were invited to further “roast” Kellejian. Dan Powell, emcee — who referred to Kellejian as Mayor Emeritus — invited attendees to the microphone to express their gratitude. Marion Dodson, former mayor, said, “Joe has always been conscientious, attending functions outside of meetings and has been passionate about his role, especially for transportation.” When funding was being sought for the grade separation Dodson asked Kellejian to accompany her to a meeting that secured the last $6.7 million required for the project. “I felt another elected official would help, and I was very thankful that Joe was there because we got the funding. That’s the kind of guy he is. Joe’s heart is always in the right place.” Mary Kellejian, Steve Apple, Sean McLeod, Peter Zahn, Carolyn Cohen and Teri Renteria were among those who spoke. Attendees sang the official city song and Powell presented Kellejian with several hats to represent the varied roles that he has undertaken during his 28 years in service to the community. “This is a great day,” said Kellejian who conveyed heartfelt thanks to his wife Mary, and daughters, Kelli and Lindsey — who is expecting their first grandson. “This is the best day of my life!” joked Mary. Kellejian will continue to serve on the board of the American Lung Association, and to support San Dieguito Alliance for a Drug Free Youth, Vista Community Clinic, Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club, Del Sol Lions, and hopes to continue on the board of LOSSAN (Los Angeles-San DiegoSan Luis Obispo) Rail Corridor Agency, he said.
LOT continued from page 3 own the larger empty corner lot next to the proposed home site. The family chose local architect Jean-Louis Coquereau of JLC Architecture, located at 250 N. Cedros Ave., for his commitment to sustainable designs. The firm is not only a neighbor to Claire’s on Cedros, but it pioneered the restaurant’s design and LEED platinum certification, as well as the designs of many other green commercial and residential projects in San Diego. He said introducing a living wall, consisting of plants, on the north side of the house will be a fairly easy way to mitigate noise and appearance concerns. “We would be more than open to create additional texture, materials, planting,” he said. Mayor Mike Nichols said the 40-foot flat wall that is part of Coquereau’s design might set a bad precedent in the community because such a feature doesn’t always work aesthetically. Coquereau said the flat wall is a way to conserve energy and facilitate green heating and cooling of the home. Scott Hermes, who lives directly north of the property, said he and other neighbors were not supportive of the project at first due to its scale and view obstructions, but those concerns have
PAGE 15
been mitigated. He said, however, there still needs to be a landscaping solution made that will resolve the potential issue of excessive noise between the two properties. He also thinks that added articulation on the north side of the building will enhance the project. Neighbor Gary Martin said when the original story poles went up, the project looked like a potential warehouse. He said after speaking personally with Coquereau, the architect accommodated all of his concerns. “They are really reasonable, sensitive people,” he said, adding that he supports the project, which he described as “creative.” “I want to thank them for that … A lot of architects out there have their ego and you can’t even talk.” Gerri Retman-Opper said she and her neighbors have been speaking out about the property for more than 20 years, including proposals to change the zoning to commercial. She said the neighbors have also opposed residential designs “that might as well have been commercial,” she said. The project is still unlike the homes around it in terms of character, however, that’s because of the “edgy design,” she said. “I’m here to support the design, as long as the concerns noted are addressed,” Retman-Opper said.

BY TIM PICKWELL Thirteen Torrey Pines High School Varsity Football Players received AllPalomar League Honors for the recently concluded 2012 season, and the team also handed out several awards at its Dec. 11 banquet at the Marriott Hotel in Carmel Valley. University of Arizona-Bound Offensive Tackle Jacob Alsadek (6’ 8”, 330 LB’s) was named to the All-San Diego County CIF Team (2nd Team), the AllNorth County Team (2nd Team), and Torrey Pines Defensive Tackle Grant Mcwas a 1st Team All-Palomar League SeGahey (#36, shown here sacking Cathedral lection. Alsadek was also an All-Palomar Catholic’s Garrett Bogart) was selected by League selection in 2011. Teammates Palomar League Football Coaches to the Allvoted Alsadek the “Offensive Lineman” League First Team. McGahey led Torrey of the year for 2012. Pines in tackle points, sacks and tackles-forSenior Defensive Tackle Grant Mca-loss. Sean Haratyk (#84) and Jonathan Gahey earned All-Palomar League 1st Raby (#42) are also shown closing in during Team Honors, and was named by the the Falcon’s Sept. 7, 2012 victory over the team as its “Defensive Lineman of the Dons. Photo/Anna Scipione Year.” McGahey, led an active Defensive Line with 52 solo tackles, 69 assists, 9 sacks, and 13 Tackles-for-loss. McGahey racked up a team-leading 173 tackle-points. As highlighted at the banquet by several coaches, solid play on both the offensive and defensive Lines was critical in the Falcons 6-6 season. The 2012 team became the first in the history of the school to defeat rivals Cathedral Catholic (24-17) and La Costa Canyon (24-17) in the same season. The squad defeated Escondido, 42-7 in the first round of the CIF Division I playoffs, before losing in the quarterfinal round, 28-10, to eventual Champions Eastlake High School (Chula Vista). The defense held opponents without a score three times, and allowed an average of only 15.3 points per game. Senior Linebackers Miles Ahles (second on team with 166 tackle points) and Jack Condon (third with 119) were also All-Palomar League 2nd Team Selections. 3-year Varsity starter Cole Jaczko (RB/Safety) was also named to the All-Palomar League 2nd Team. This is Jaczko’s second year in a row being selected for All-League Honors. Ahles and Jaczko were named 2012 “Captains” by their teammates, while Ahles also earned team honors as Defensive Back of the Year. The team used an experienced offensive line, led by Alsadek, to run a ball-control offense that averaged over 5 yards per carry for the season (2,425 rushing yards total). Senior linemen Jake Ashby and Andrew Maneval were 2nd Team All-Palomar League selections, along with running backs Mark Detrow and Chase Pickwell. Detrow had two knee surgeries in 2011, and missed Spring Football, Summer Passing League, and much of the August two-a-days. He started the season as a reserve running back and defender, but finished as a two-way starter. Coaches named him the “Most Improved Player” for his impressive comeback from injury. Senior Chase Pickwell (1,009 yards rushing on 155 carries) led the team in touchdowns and was named “O-Back of the Year” and was also voted Most Valuable Player by his teammates. Earning Honorable Mention All-Palomar League Honors were seniors Mike Cox (D-Line) and Jackson Gentes (WR/CB), junior Kyle Ashby (LB), and sophomore WR/CB Jack Bailey. Bailey led the team in receptions (20), receiving yards (315), yards per catch (15.75) and yards per run (8.8 per carry on 11 rushes). The team awarded the Dennis M. Bradley Memorial Award for character and inspiration to Jake Ashby and Jack Condon. Running back/punt returner Dillon Loyek earned “Scout Player of the Week” Honors seven times during the regular season for his efforts in emulating opposing offenses. So, it was no surprise when he was awarded “Scout Player of the Year.”

DMCV Sharks Boys U12 Team wins the All-Stars Triple-Crown The DMCV Sharks Boys U12 All-Star team won the Scripps Ranch All-Stars tournament this past weekend completing a clean sweep of the All-Stars Triple-Crown tournaments in La Jolla, Mesa, and Scripps Ranch. The Sharks team was rock solid in the Scripps tournament scoring 14 goals while only giving up two. Collectively, over the three tournaments, the powerhouse Sharks team scored an amazing 74 goals while only giving up seven, throughout the equivalent of 13 full games, with 12 different players scoring. Coach Rick Sanborn stated, “What set these boys apart from their competitors was their unselfish play; they could all score, and almost all of them did. Every player on the team became an expert in their role, knew what they we supposed to do, and executed. In my years of having the privilege of coaching an all-star team, I’ve never seen a group of 10, 11, and 12 year-olds play together at such a high level…it was magical. This team exemplified the Vince Lombardi mantra of ‘Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work.’”

Dream interpreter helps unlock the meaning behind the images BY KAREN BILLING Ever had a dream that you’re back in high school, a nightmare that you’re being chased or that your teeth are falling out as you ride in a car with Oprah Winfrey? Helle Brandrup has heard them all. The Rancho Santa Fe resident is a dream interpreter who specializes in unlocking the meaning behind those images that come awake in Helle Brandrup the mind at night. “Looking into your dream is like opening a treasure box with information about yourself and once you open it, you’ll never want to close it,” Brandrup said. “Our dreams are there to help us, they are messages we send to ourselves. It’s just a matter of listening to them and interpreting them to understand their message.” Brandrup has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for almost a year, moving here from Denmark with her two children and her husband Jan, the founder and CEO of Hyperikon, a LED lighting solutions company. The couple’s two older sons attend college in Copenhagen. “We love it here,” Brandrup said. She has worked as a dream interpreter for 15 years. She studied personal development and astrology and while getting her education to become a therapist realized how important dreams are and focused on interpretation, an art of deciphering dream symbols that goes back to Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. In Denmark, she did private consulting, wrote a newspaper column on the subject and was a frequent contributor to dream segments on television. While some people may say they don’t remember their dreams when they wake up in the morning, that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. “Everybody dreams,” Brandrup said. Brandrup said people dream over 100,000 dreams in a lifetime, which breaks down to about 1,300 dreams a year and 35 dreams every night. Brandrup said every dream means something — it’s never just a “crazy dream” and even if it seems like gibberish there is some meaning behind the symbols. That’s where a dream interpreter can come in and tip you off on something your subconscious wants you to know or something you can work to change. “Everybody knows it’s important to exercise our bodies, but what about exercising our minds? It’s just as important. The body and mind need to be connected to be in good health and to find balance,” Brandrup said. There is not a stock reason for every symbol in a dream. “No two dreams are the same, it depends on the dreamer,” Brandrup said. “What might not mean something to me might mean something to you.” Still, there are some common ones. To dream of falling down usually indicates a lack of control; a dream of water is about feelings or emotions, and to dream of a car is usually about See DREAM, page B22

Local climber hopes to conquer diabetes Kiss the Sky group has raised more than $300K over last 10 years
L
ocal resident Rick Noble marked the 10-year anniversary of Kiss the Sky to Conquer Diabetes with a climb of Mount Tyndall. Noble started KTS for his daughter Kate who “has never known a day of normal” as she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a baby. Launched in the summer of 2002 with a hike of Mount Whitney that raised over $60,000 to support efforts to cure diabetes, KTS has a mission to keep climbing until there’s a cure. The group has raised more than $300,000 over the last 10 years. On Oct. 18, Noble and his team of Nathanael Johnson and Jeff Hanson set out to summit Mount Tyndall, the 10th highest mountain in California in the High Sierras. While Rick climbed Mount Tyndall, Kate, now a senior at George Washington University, led a group on a hike from Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. “I would have been excited if only one person showed up to summit the monuments, but I was thrilled when I saw the whole group there supporting Kiss the Sky and me,” said Kate, who was accompanied by her mother Karen. “We had a great time and I am excited to continue work toward finding a cure and to continue doing smaller ‘hikes’
Jeff Hanson steps onto the Mount Tyndall summit ridge for the KTS 10th. around the country in order to end a disease that has affected me for so long.” Kate was diagnosed when she was just 1 year old. “It was a total shock,” said Rick, noting there was no history of the disease on either side of the family. The family was living in New York at the time and around the holidays Kate had become very sick and was not getting better. They took her to Mount Sinai where they were told she had pneumonia. She was so dehydrated that the Nobles were told she needed to stay
in the hospital. “They came to us and said they had some specialists they wanted us to meet, which is a parent’s nightmare,” Noble said. It had just so happened that the endocrinologist team at Mt. Sinai had just done training with the emergency room team to alert staff about the signs of diabetes. Kate’s symptoms were recognized — her body was breaking down and the pneumonia was just a symptom of her body trying to battle and losing the fight with diabetes. The Nobles had to begin an intensive week-long training of how to take care of Kate. Since she was an infant and could not tell them how she was feeling, they had to learn to monitor her blood sugar and administer shots. That was in 1992 and Noble said they told him then that in 10 years they should be hearing about potential cures. The ability to manage the disease has improved with new technology and they have come a long way to stave off the complications of the disease, such as blindness and amputation, but there is still no cure. Kate estimates that she has had over 10,000 shots, 60,000 finger pricks and 1,500 insulin pump catheter inserts. “I don’t remember a day where I did not have diabetes and I would love

After her own life-changing recovery, Susan Sbicca hopes to change others’ lives through food at new local ‘vitality bar’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CLAIRE HARLIN When award-winning chef Susan Sbicca left Del Mar’s Sbicca American Bistro a little over a decade ago, she knew it was time to take a new direction, but she wasn’t immediately sure what her next calling would be. “It was time to move on,” said Sbicca, who was named Chef of the Year in 1996 by the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association. “After 20 years in the business I was getting tired.” Within a couple months, the local resident began working on a Sbicca cookbook, but was stopped in her tracks by a health diagnosis — autoimmune disease — that left her home-ridden and suffering for months. But for Sbicca, this unfortunate hardship also led to a change of identity and change of career path — a lifelong passion that she feels so blessed to have discovered that she gets choked up talking about it. After a number of various health plans prescribed by doctors didn’t work, Sbicca sought the help of the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, where she stayed for one week eating a diet of wheatgrass and raw food. She found that her diet was the only thing that could keep her disease in remission. With that finding, she applied her culinary know-how to the somewhat uncharted territory of raw and vegan rood preparation in order to save her own heath — and now she’s on a dedicated mission to share what she’s learned to help others. That’s why Del Mar’s new bBar “vitality bar,” which was set to open on Dec. 19 at 2683 Via de La Valle, has chosen Sbicca to head up its kitchen and contribute to its extensive menu of raw dishes. The bBar is like a “wellness hub,” its creators say, a new concept that offers cleanses, food plans and education in addition to serving raw vegan food and smoothies to go.
“It’s an interesting concept and I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Sbicca. “We’ll be working with people to design your own cleanse, and since there is raw food involved in the cleanses, it’s easier to stick to than the diets that are just juices.” Despite the health setbacks Sbicca had to overcome, she’s been no stranger in the community. Many of her local, longtime foodie fans have been getting a taste of “Millie’s concept,” her gluten-free, vegan gelatos, which she sells at the Leucadia Farmers Market on Susan Sbicca Saturday mornings. She has previously sold at the Rancho Santa Fe market as well, and she will also be carrying her unique flavors — such as vanilla blueberry almond; pear cayenne; and chocolate peanut butter — at bBar. The Millie’s concept arose when she began experimenting with healthy sweets in the kitchen, and the final product turned out to be so delicious that she felt compelled to share it. Because the image of her mother, who Sbicca lost four years ago to breast cancer, constantly graced her thoughts as she added different sweet ingredients, she said there was no question about what she would name the gelato brand.
“Every time I added something sweet, I envisioned her. Her name was Millie Butterfield and she had such a sweet tooth,” said Sbicca, who, not a sweets-lover herself, has surprisingly enjoyed the shift from savory to sweet cuisine. “My mom didn’t cook much but she got into dessert. Her fudge was like no other, and she would have loved being part of making these gelatos.” Having begun her culinary career in the 1980s working in delis in Boston, Sbicca said returning to a the delistyle atmosphere at bBar is somewhat nostalgic — her career has come full circle to interacting with customers at the counter once again. “A deli out there is so much more than you would ever see here,” she said. “But what really drew me to the food industry was the teamwork you saw behind the scenes.” At bBar, Sbicca is part of a team once again, consisting of raw chef Simone Powers, owner and health enthusiast Lisa Odenweller and cleansing expert Adina Niemerow — as well as a number of staff members who will be working at the counter. In a recent employee meeting with her new team, Sbicca said she became emotional when it was her turn to talk. “When I talk about it, I realize how passionate I am about it. It’s been such a journey and I hope I can be an example,” said Sbicca of her goal to changes others’ lives through food just like her life has been changed. And when it comes to being a leader at a place she sees as a soon-to-be Del Mar institution, she said, “It feels good to be home.” For more information on Millie’s or to join the “pint club,” visit www.milliesgelato.com.

Seasons 52 offers UTC shoppers a healthful spot to dine BY KELLEY CARLSON t the newly opened Seasons 52, guests won’t find the traditional calorie-laden foods of the holiday season. Instead, they may be delighted to discover that there is nothing on the menu over 475 calories — not even the desserts. “We use all-natural cooking techniques,” Executive Chef Steve de Barril explained, which includes the use of a brick oven and an oak-fire grill. Other secrets to the healthy fare: no deep fryers, no butter, and no cooking with cream. “We let the product speak for itself,” de Barril said. The cuisine apparently speaks volumes, as the restaurant — which opened Nov. 19 in the Westfield UTC shopping center — already seems to draw quite a few people. Located in a brand-new building with a stone exterior, Seasons 52 — one of 26 in the Darden-owned chain — has a prominent spot next to Sears. When patrons first walk in, their attention is often drawn to the wine collection in the “Chateau” behind the front counter. It houses a sizable portion of the establishment’s 2,000 bottles, from renowned wine producers such as France, South Africa and, of course, California. “With 60 (wines offered by the glass), there’s always something new to try,” de Barril said. Just a few steps away is the Chef’s Table room, which displays “spiced artwork” — aromatic herbs and spices built into frames on the wall and table. Up to 10 people can feast on a seven-course meal chosen by de Barril. In the heart of the restaurant is the main dining room, which is timeless and elegant, yet casually contemporary. Its design is

■ This week’s recipe: Seasons 52’s Cider-glazed Chicken Skewers inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, featuring autumn ledgestone and solid Honduran mahogany throughout, and hand-made vases add brilliant colors. Also adjacent to the dining room is the full-service piano lounge/bar, with operable floor-to-ceiling windows. From 6 p.m. to close daily, and all day long on weekends for the remainder of December, live music emanates from a rotating piano in the bar. Guests often request songs while sipping on beers or signature cocktails such as the Blackberry Storm with Atlantico Reserva Rum, blackberry preserves, lime juice, agave nectar and a hint of allspice; and the Pomegranate Margarita Martini, a blend of Patrón Silver Tequila, Patrón Citrónge and pomegranate juice.
The design of the main dining room is inspired by the work of architect and interior designer Frank Lloyd Wright. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON Diners who relish the outdoors may opt to sit on the wraparound patio with two fire pits and watch shoppers ambling along. While Seasons 52 does not have a traditional happy hour, it offers “Flights and Flats” from the time it opens until 6 p.m. daily. For $15, patrons may choose three samples of wine from eight varieties, and then receive a full glass of their favorite along with a flatbread. Among the flatbread selections are Artichoke & Goat Cheese and Steak & Cremini Mushroom. Since Seasons 52 relies on fresh produce and seafood for its fare, its menu is constantly changing. Nearly all of the core dishes shift with the season, but a handful of new items — primarily soups, flatbreads, fish and desserts — are introduced every Tuesday.
Some of the primary items on the fall menu that may change slightly for winter are BBQ Chicken salad; Vegetarian Tasting with quinoa-farro salad, soft taco, chile relleno, cedar-roasted tofu and mango chutney; and Springer Mountain Farm AllNatural Grilled Chicken with tamarind glaze, sweet potato mash and pumpkin seeds. However, there are some plates that will remain the same, including the Kalymnos Greek salad; Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops and roasted asparagus; and Cedar Plank Roasted Pacific King Salmon. As for dessert, Seasons 52 presents Mini Indulgences — individually sized portions of classics such as Meyer Lemon Pound Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse and Rocky Road.

Mexican photography exhibit now open at Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT It would be difficult to talk about Mexican photography without mentioning Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002), whose long life included some 60 years of creating compelling images of ordinary people and places in the country of his birth. He managed to capture the realities of everyday life in post-revolutionary Mexico in a way that was both poetic and unsentimental. On Dec. 14, the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, 700 Prospect St., opened an exhibit of 35 works from its permanent collection, focusing on Bravo’s impact on contemporary Mexican photographers. Notably featured are 10 pieces by one of his students, Graciela Iturbide, which were recently donated to the museum in memory of Murray Get Down in December

“Mickey” Gribin, longtime member of MCASD’s board of trustees, by local photography collectors Dan Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. The exhibit will run through March 10. Born in 1942, photographer Iturbide works in blackand-white and shares Bravo’s interest in portraying the daily life of Mexico’s indigenous people. Like him, she has influenced a new generation of photographers in Latin America and beyond with her striking, politically charged, often woman-centered works. Besides Bravo and Iturbide, others featured in the exhibit include Gabriel Orozco, considered the pioneer of conceptual art in Mexico, and several photographers from other countries who have documented the Mexican experience, including Canadian Alex Webb and American Geoffrey James. “Most of these artists are very well-known in Latin America, but not in the States,” said MCASD’s Education Curator Cris Scorza. “My hope is that showing them here will give people on this side of the border a chance to get to know them.” For more details, visit mcasd.org or call (858) 454-3541.

Morgan Stanley broker named to ‘Barron’s SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Top 100 Financial Advisors’ in the nation Wax & Whimsy opens in Solana Beach FROM MORGAN STANLEY REPORTS For the third year in a row, Robert Inbody, a managing director with Morgan Stanley in La Jolla, was named on the list of Barron’s Top 100 financial advisors in the nation. Inbody, a Del Mar resident, is the only broker in San Diego County to achieve this honor. Barron’s rankings are based on each advisor’s “assets under management, revenue generated for his or her firm and quality of the practice.” Morgan Stanley boasted 30 of the top 100 advisors. Inbody has been with Morgan Stanley for 40 years, starting as a trainee in the company’s downtown San Diego office in 1971. When they opened the satellite office in La Jolla in 1975, he became the producing manager, a title he held until 1996 when he went back to being a broker, leaving the management side behind. “This has been a fantastic job, and I am lucky to have chosen this as my career,” Inbody said. “It is something I truly enjoy and it’s rewarding helping other people. I have great clients that I have come to know very well over the years.” By staying in one place for 40 years, Inbody has generated the trust and respect that has allowed nearly all of his business to come from referrals. Inbody said he was honored but somewhat surprised to be on this prestigious list, as he is not your typical financial planner. “My success comes in doing things that no other broker does,” said Inbody of his creating a niche in investing to protect against a depreciating U.S. dollar by investing in equities, gold, foreign currencies and other non-traditional investment vehicles. “I am unique in that I utilize a broader range of products than the average broker. For the last 10 years a good portion of our investing has been in gold, energy and foreign currency.” The biggest challenge is to provide income for clients in a low interest rate environment. The idea is to look for investments that can provide good rates of return with reduced risk. In developing his own style, he’s made his career excit-
Robert Inbody ing and different, even while working long days. “The ‘sun never sets’ when investing one’s money, and if I weren’t doing it with Morgan Stanley, I’d be doing the same thing for myself. There is also the game aspect of the market and any game is fun when you win,” Inbody said. Morgan Stanley is located at 1225 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA, 92037 To contact Robert Inbody: 858-729-5010 or email: robert.inbody@morganstanley.com For more information, go to www.morganstanleyfa. com/robert.inbody/ Note: Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of the year to go nuts about chestnuts The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The Nat King Cole Christmas tune chimes in my head, â&#x20AC;&#x153;chestnuts roasting on an open fire,â&#x20AC;? and I go gaga over these holiday delights. Shiny, mahogany gems are piled high in mounds in the grocery produce aisles, cans of delicate puree and jars of whole, peeled kernels line the shelves and dominate seasonal displays. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little chestnut primer to help you get the best out of these scrumptious nuggets while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still good and plenty. Caveman Candy Chestnuts are possibly one of the oldest food sources, dating back to the Flintstone era. Biologically
known as the Castanea sativa, the chestnut tree originally came to Europe from Greece. European immigrants imported the tree to America, while today Spartan groves exist in California and the Pacific Northwest after the chestnut population was devastated by a blight at the turn of the last century. Most chestnuts are imported from Japan, China, Spain, Italy and France where the latter call these precious jewels marrons. The Shell Game Chestnut flowers form into spiny burrs with a shiny brown shell encapsulating usually a pair or trio of creamy white, soft kernels. When buying chestnuts, the outer spiky husk is shed, leaving the thin-skin brownish covering, a stubborn shell that is difficult to remove from the starchy nut. To make your life easier, blanch or cook the chestnuts first. You will need a sharp pointed knife to score the flat side of the nut with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? or a horizontal cut. Place nuts in cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for three minutes. Keep them immersed in the hot
Sweet Chestnut Puree A-Go-Go This heavenly chestnut puree has been savored around the world by commoners and royals alike, particularly at the century-old Gerbeaud CafĂŠ in Budapest, a favorite haunt of the Habsburg royal family, and the Queen of Hungary who dropped by to get their fix of this blissful delicacy. Ingredients 12 ounces chestnut puree (canned) 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons Brandy, or pick your poison (Amaretto, Frangelico, Cognac) 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 1 tablespoon chestnut honey Sea salt to taste water, peeling one at a time. Your chestnuts are recipeready. One word of chestnut warning: Do not eat raw or even partially cooked, as the high tannic acid will likely cause digestive problems. So boil or roast completely before indulging.
Neighborhood
Method: Combine ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture forms a smooth texture, much like a Spackle. If it is too thick, add more cream. Chill and serve in martini glasses. Garnish with shaved bittersweet chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 6.
Pick a Winner Fresh chestnuts are at their prime in December. Make sure they are glossy and glabrous without nicks, cuts or blemishes. Feel their heft, and choose solid, heavy ones that are not cracked or shriveled. Shake
them, and if you hear a rattling sound, or feel it rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rolling, discard it. To keep them from drying out, store in a cool, dry place for one week, or in a storage bag in the fridge for up to one month. A Chestnut a Day Atypical of other nuts and seeds, chestnuts have a fairly low fat content and are low in calories, although rife with starch on a par with sweet potatoes, spuds, corn and plantains. They contain a mother lode of phyto-nutrients, minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber. Rich in anti-oxidant Vitamin C, chestnuts have immune-boosting oomph. Packed with folates they are a great pregnancy food for the health of the growing fetus, and for red blood cell production. An excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, chestnuts have been found to lower total as well as bad cholesterol levels. Endowed with B-complex vitamins, they put the skids on stress, are abundant in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc, and as a final boon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are gluten-free, a holiday treat for the gluten-sensitive
and Celiac sufferers. From Soup to Chestnuts Chestnuts are as divine in savory dishes as sweet ones. In Europe and Asia, due to the high starch content the kernels are used as a spud substitute. Chestnuts go solo braised, roasted, steamed or grilled. To warm the cockles of your heart, whip up a chestnut amaretto soup with toasted almonds, or a chestnut butternut squash bisque. For a riff on Italian dishes, try chestnut risotto or ravioli. Stuff your holiday bird with chestnut and Granny Smith stuffing or chestnut and wild rice. Do a Mediterranean chestnut and lamb stew with pomegranates. For some elegant sides, chestnut stuffed acorn squash, chestnut soufflĂŠ with brandy drizzle, or chestnuts with dried prunes and apricots in Madeira sauce. For your just desserts, chestnut tiramisu or cheesecake, a chestnut bourbon torte, or bittersweet chocolate chestnut mousse.

Any member of the public who wishes to address the Planning Commission on an item on the agenda may do so, but must present a written request on the form provided before the meeting is called to order. A member of the public who wishes to address the Planning Commission during the public hearing portion of the meeting will be limited to three minutes of testimony, unless such time limit is waived by a majority vote of the Planning Commission. AGENDA ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER AGENDA ITEM: COMMUNITY (GENERAL) PLAN AMENDMENT GPA-12-02 Application: Draft 2013-2020 Housing Element update to the Del Mar Community Plan Location: City-wide Applicant: City of Del Mar Environmental Status: A Negative Declaration will be prepared for later consideration by the Del Mar City Council prior to its action on the draft Housing Element. Contact Person: Adam Birnbaum, AICP, Planning Manager Description: A request to amend the City of Del Mar Community Plan (General Plan) to update the Housing Element for the 2013-2020 Cycle in accordance with State requirements. The Planning Commission will review the draft Housing Element and will consider taking action to recommend that staff send the draft Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for preliminary review and comment. Availability of Document The 2013-2020 draft Housing Element is a lengthy document. It will be posted to the City of Del Mar website at www.delmar.ca.us on or before Tuesday, November 27, 2012. It will also be available for review at Del Mar City Hall and the Del Mar Public Library. Background Information on the Del Mar Housing Element Under State law, every jurisdiction in California must adopt what is known as a General Plan with different segments, known as elements, to guide development in the community. The Del Mar Community (General) Plan was adopted in in 1976 and has been the subject of a number of amendments since that time. State law further requires that every General Plan contain one segment called a Housing Element which sets forth the City’s policies and programs to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The goal is to establish land use policies and regulatory systems that accommodate opportunities for preservation and development of housing without undue constraints. The State Housing Element law also requires that each local jurisdiction’s Housing Element be subject to review and certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. While jurisdictions periodically review and amend different elements of their General Plan, California law is much more specific in regard to the schedule for updates to the Housing Element segment, requiring an update at least every eight years. The current Housing Element planning period (cycle) under review in this agenda item runs from 2013 through 2020. Participation at the Planning Commission meeting In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the City Clerk’s office at 1050 Camino del Mar, or by calling 858-755-9313.

DIABETES continued from page B1 to know, just for one day or more, what it feels like,” Kate said. In 2001, Dr. Denise Faustman’s lab at Massachusetts General Hospital had a breakthrough in which they reversed type 1 diabetes with end stage disease in mice, a project the lab aimed to convert to human clinical trials. The Nobles, who moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 1998, started KTS 10 years ago as a way to support Dr. Faustman’s efforts and to raise awareness for the disease. With help from American businessman Lee Iacocca (whose wife died of diabetes) and hundreds of grass roots initiatives like KTS, Dr. Faustman’s team raised over $10 million to fully fund phase one of human clinical trials. The phase one trials were a success and they need to raise more than $10 million more to fully fund phase two. Since that first Mount
Whitney climb, Noble and his team have reached the summits of Mount Rainier, Mauna Kea, Humphrey’s Peak, Mount Shasta, Mount Hood and climbed in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia. Noble said all of the climbs have been great for different reasons. His climbs of Mt. Rainier in Washington have been “incredible” trips. On one trip, he and his team went up one of the most difficult routes called Couch Shoot, a “steep and magnificent couple thousand feet of vertical ice.” “At the top it was breathtaking,” Noble said. “We slept in the crater which now you’re not allowed to do.” One of his most memorable experiences was in Bolivia. They were in training at 16,000 feet and about to climb when they heard that the Bolivian government had been overthrown. The team had to get down to 12,000 feet to the city of La Paz where the whole city was cordoned off, people were in gas masks and fires were burning in the streets.
They were able to get through blockades to the airport in the wee hours of the morning and board the only plane that left the country to Lima. “That was pretty wild,” Noble said. The latest adventure in Mt. Tyndall in October was a very challenging climb that started at 6,000 feet, climbing straight up to a campsite at 10,000 square feet called Anvil Camp. “Many people call it Advil Camp because it’s so difficult to get to,” Noble said. From there, the route goes on a melted glacier up a steep shoot to Shepherd Pass at 12,000 feet. The last 2,000 feet are a “vertical, scrambling climb up basically a rock slide of varying size rocks.” Noble’s climbing partners, Johnson and Hanson, made it to the top but Noble had to stop. He broke his collarbone six months ago and didn’t trust himself on the rocks, telling his partners to summit without
him. “I thought it was a lot better for us to have a successful trip and get the whole team down in one piece. It worked out but it was tough to do,” Noble said. “It’s the only KTS climb that I didn’t make it up.” While there have been KTS climbs where not everyone has reached the summit, Noble sees all his climbs as a success if they raise awareness for Kate’s disease. He said while Kate’s disease is considered manageable, the consequences can be disastrous if her blood sugar is too high or too low. Every month Kate has an issue with a body site where she takes her insulin through a pump or the insulin doesn’t work in the way it was anticipated. “It reminds us very quickly about the constant battle that she has,” Noble said. “Diabetes is a disease that doesn’t go away, even under the best circumstances. There is an attack on her body every day. It’s tough to

So I’ll be climbing.” For more information, visit www.conquerdiabetes.org.
DREAM continued from page B1 where you are heading. Brandrup said the interpretation looks into all the details surrounding those basic symbols to see what it means. “Death is one of the most common dreams and people are always afraid to dream about it, but it only means a change in your life,” Brandrup said. “It’s never about someone you know, it’s always about yourself. You don’t have to be afraid that it’s something that is going to come true.” Nightmares can sometimes be a good thing, Brandrup said, as they are strong messages from the subconscious to get you to listen. She said nightmares could be more frequent with children because they are growing so fast and so many things are changing. The dreams represent the mind trying to catch up with the ever-changing physical body. On Danish television, Brandrup was on a children’s program and helped children with nightmares. She once had a case with a boy who kept having the same nightmare about werewolves and couldn’t sleep, having to sleep in his parents’ bed and causing everyone to have a restless night. “I talked to him and found out his challenge was that he did not feel good enough in his big family,” Brandrup said. She gave the child and the family some suggestions on things they could do to make him feel more connected and the nightmares were able to stop. It was rewarding for her to see how a situation could change with just a little tweak—that’s something she hopes parents would take advantage of. Brandrup said she often hears people say that if they dream so much, 35 a night as estimated, why can’t they remember them? To remember dreams, Brandrup said people have to set their minds to think about dreaming and wanting to remember. She then suggests putting a piece of paper or a notebook by the bed so you can immediately write down your dream as soon as you wake up, even if it’s just a glimpse or a few words. “Dreams offer solutions to issues in your life, coming to you in a symbolic way,” Brandrup said. “I’m here to help people understand their dreams…I just want to help get people ‘out of the bushes’ as they say in Denmark.” Brandrup also runs wellness trips in the Mediterranean. Her staff is based out of Turkey and the trip sails out on a wooden ship—she is booking now for a May excursion. A total of 16 people can go on the ship and each gets a double cabin and their own bathroom. Packages include meals from a private chef, yoga, meditation, massages and a stop at a Turkish bath. Dream interpretation is, of course, a feature of the trip. To learn more, visit HelleBrandrup.com or dreaminsider.wordpress.com
