Del Mar to seek public input on affordable housing issue BY CLAIRE HARLIN After hearing extensive community concern and a frightening explanation by the City Attorney suggesting the city’s parks may have to be an affordable housing site consideration, the Del Mar City Council on Dec. 3 decided to step up its level of planning and public input before sending a draft housing element to the state. The city continued with

its Planning Commission meeting and public workshop on Dec. 5, but held off on making a decision at that time on a draft to send to the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD). Coverage of that meeting will be available on Dec. 6 at www. delmartimes.net (and in next week’s paper). In response to concern from the community that

the city has stalled on the task of developing an affordable housing plan, officials said they will add a new workshop this month prior to Jan. 8, when the Planning Commission is set to sign off on the draft before sending it back to City Council for a Jan. 14 vote. Because Del Mar is currently out of compliance — and has to come up with 71 affordable units — it must

built out, much of its land is environmentally sensitive or too expensive to make building low-cost units financially feasible. Homeowners are also concerned about their own property values, as well as their views and quality of life if a multistory, high density residential building comes to their neighborhood.

show HCD in its housing element that a plan for affordable housing is in place, and that includes — at the least — figuring out where to put them. According to the city, 25 percent of Del Mar residents would qualify for affordable housing, but the city is up against some challenges in providing a place for those people to live. Not only is Del Mar small and

BY CLAIRE HARLIN In its second reading, the Del Mar City Council on Dec. 3 adopted an ordinance renewing the temporary offleash area for dogs at Del Mar Shores Park. The ordinance, which continues the existing uses and hours of the park that were set in place for a trial period, will go into effect on Jan. 2 and stay valid for three years. The decision follows a Nov. 19 public hearing in which it was brought to the council’s attention that the

trial period, which began on Jan. 23, had expired. The adopted hours and uses are the result of hours of city deliberation and public testimony, mainly by dog owners advocating off-leash use and the Little League community, which wants to practice sports free of feces and unleashed dogs. The dog community in November asked for expanded use of the park when the ordinance came up for renewal, however, the council See PARK, Page 6

BY KAREN BILLING “We want a full grocery store” was a common refrain at a recent community meeting about the proposed changes to the Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center. New owner Coast Income Properties’ plans for a specialty/boutique market and a drugstore instead of a full grocery store have some neighbors dissatisfied with the planned mixed-use center on Del Mar Heights Road and Carmel Valley Road, next to Canyon Crest Academy. Some neighbors said they didn’t mind the missing grocery store and were

complimentary of the new proposal’s “Rancho Santa Fe”-style feel and expressed excitement about proposed tenants, the Village’s Main Street and gathering places. The meeting was wellattended by Coast Income Properties representatives, as well as about 50 neighbors from Airoso, the community on Village Center Loop Road, as well as some residents from Arabella across from the proposed Village Center off Carmel Valley Road. The PHR Village Center plans were approved by the See PROJECT, Page 19

SB backs Veterans Memorial installation Community to secure funding for La Colonia Park project BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Solana Beach City Council on Nov. 28 unanimously supported the concept of installing a veterans memorial and water feature at La Colonia Park, giving the go-ahead for a community group to start raising money for the installation. The idea for the installation came about in 2006 when the council expressed interest in revitalizing the Eden Gardens park, where Memorial and Veterans

Day celebrations are held. Although the city has not had funding for the project, the Veterans Memorial is part of a La Colonia Park Master Plan that was approved by the council in 2008. The project was originally slated to be built with redevelopment money, but that source dried up when redevelopment agencies were disbanded by the state last year, City Manager David Ott said. “I am very supportive

[of the memorial],” said Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. “It’s a wonderful start to the entire park. Eventually we will get it done; I know we will.” After being approached by community members to examine the feasibility of independent fundraising to get the ball rolling on the project, Solana Beach city staff determined that the memorial See VETERANS, Page 6

Del Mar says farewell to Hilliard, Del Mar certifies election, assesses turnout welcomes Sinnott as Mayor BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council and a roomful of community members on Dec. 4 said farewell to Councilmember Mark Filanc and Mayor Carl Hilliard, officially swearing in Terry Sinnott as mayor. Lee Haydu will serve as Deputy Mayor. Filanc was elected to the council in 2008, after serving 12 years on the city’s Planning Commission. Having grown up in Encinitas, he said he has “always known how special Del Mar is.” The CEO of J.R. Filanc Construction is also involved in the Boy Scouts of America, where he is a Scoutmaster for Troop 713 in Del Mar, and he’s also on the faculty advisory board at the San Diego State University School of Engineering. Hilliard, a resident since 1976, served eight years on the council, where he was a major part of the Del Mar Fairgrounds purchase deal that shocked the region. He has also served on more than a dozen boards and committees locally and regionally. “If you added up number hours Carl worked ev-

Photo/Claire Harlin ery week and divided that into $300 we get as councilmembers, I think it would be about a penny a day,” Filanc said. Sinnott, who served two Navy tours in Vietnam in the 1960s, brings to the table a background in marketing, customer service and distribution planning at San Diego Gas & Electric, where he worked for 22 years. He now owns his own management and consulting business, in addition to 10 years of being active in the community — from facilitating Del Mar’s Vision 2020 workshops in 2003 to serving on the boards of Del Mar Community Connections and Friends of Del Mar Parks. Haydu started getting involved in the city more than 20 years ago, through being active on the San Dieguito Lagoon Committee, charing the Del Mar Heights Elementary site council and serving at vice president of her kids’ Parent Teacher Association. She chairs the Annual Lagoon Day event and served on the Design Review Board for two years before being elected to the City Council in 2010.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Some 84 percent of Del Mar’s 3,202 registered voters cast their ballots for Prop J in the recent election, and the results — 1,549 residents against the revitalization measure and 1,135 in favor of it — are final. The Del Mar City Council on Dec. 4 voted unanimously to certify the Nov. 6 election, in which 88 percent of Del Mar voters participated — meaning only about 4 percent refrained on Prop J. Set in stone are also the number of votes cast for Del Mar’s three new City Council members — 1,283 for Al Corti, 1,274 for incumbent Don Mosier and 1,281 for Sherryl Parks. Although the race for City Council was unop-

Carmel Valley pedestrian killed when hit by car BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man was fatally struck by a vehicle before dawn Nov. 28 while jaywalking across a street in the Torrey Hills neighborhood of Carmel Valley, San Diego police said. The man, who was about 70, was attempting to cross in the 4600 block of Carmel Mountain Road near Ocean Air Drive about 6 a.m. when he was struck by an eastbound vehicle, according to San Diego Police Officer Dan Lasher. The man was taken to a hospital where he later died, Lasher said. His name was not immediately released. The occupants of the vehicle were not injured. The southbound lanes of Carmel Mountain Road were closed between Ocean Air Drive and Vereda Mar Del Corazon, likely until about 10 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Dec. 4 denied the Del Mar Foundation’s request to follow through with an installation meant to recognize the donors who helped fund the renovation of the Del Mar Community Building, located at 225 9th St. Council members had no problem with the ocean-scene mural slated for a crumbling concrete wall on the property, however, they said the part of the project that involves

engraving ceramic fish and bubbles with donors’ names is in violation of city policy and must await the creation of a master plan to determine whether putting names in stone is what the community wants for that property. “I am happy to have fish on the wall,” said Mayor Carl Hilliard. “I just don’t want names on them.” The Del Mar Foundation has a two-year interimuse agreement with the City of Del Mar for use of the

building, formerly the Del Mar Unified School District Administration site, while the city develops a longterm master plan for use of the entire Del Mar Shores property. The council determined that if it allows this donor recognition for the Del Mar Foundation, it is essentially jumping the gun on a master plan. Because the building is on a two-year contract, foundation spokeswoman Betty Wheeler reiterated See DONOR page 19

Del Mar streetlights to get brighter BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Dec. 3 approved moving forward with a project that would replace the city’s existing streetlights with brighter, whiter, more energy-efficient ones. Under a resolution unanimously passed by the council, the city will enter into a $16,000 agreement with Southwest Signal. Inc. for the retrofitting of 32 city-owned lights. About 40 other lights in Del Mar will

not be retrofitted because they are owned by San Diego Gas and Electric. The current high-pressure sodium lights will be replaced with induction luminaries, which are about half the price. The city estimates the switch will save about $2,500 annually in energy costs. Del Mar resident Bill Michalsky said he called the city to find the locations of, and paid a visit to, two trial streetlights that have already been installed — one

at the southwest corner of Ninth Street and Camino Del Mar and another slightly north of the railroad crossing along Coast Boulevard. Noticeably different is the new lights’ brightness, he and another email respondent expressed, however, Michalsky said he’s most concerned that the public did not have much time to become familiar with and understand the

Local couple offers ‘tools to succeed’ in new book ‘From Ramen to Riches: Finding a Job in Your 20s’ on Amazon.com BY DIANE Y. WELCH More than half of America’s recent college graduates are either unemployed or working in a job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree, the Associated Press reported recently on data coll e c t e d from the Census B u r e a u ’s Current Population SurJames Wood vey and recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor. In response to these statistics Carmel Valley husband-and-wife team, Lauren Tanny and James Wood, have co-written “From Ramen to Riches: Finding a Job in Your 20s” [The Tannywood Group, Oct. 2012], an informative book that guides the reader through

the maze of job searching while offering practical tips to get hired. “ We saw these u n e m ployment figures and realized that one of the m a j o r problems is that we Lauren Tanny are not really taught how to job search effectively,” said Lauren Tanny. “Jim and I decided that this was our contribution to helping the young people get back to work, although the book can be a useful guide for people at any age.” Tanny and Wood’s book is designed like a road-map that leads the reader through five major sections: “The Big Picture, Getting your Act Together, Getting out There, Making it Happen, and Once you Accept.” Within these sections the reader begins by creating a life vision and a career strategy. Self assessment is next and is a crucial step that is often over-

looked, regardless of age, said Tanny. “We all need to figure out ‘what am I really good at and is it really marketable?’” Then practical advice on resume writing lays the foundation for the job search. “With these three things done then you can go out there and start networking, informational interviewing and come up with a target company list,” Tanny explained. Tips on how to sustain the energy and momentum of job searching are included along with humorous anecdotes that illustrate the pitfalls to avoid when landing an interview. “In this section we also include valuable advice from human resources professionals and headhunters about what they are looking for,” said Tanny. The final section covers the negotiations of accepting a job and then how to succeed in those crucial first few months in the new position. Founder and CEO of the Tanny Group Inc., an executive coaching service, Tanny said that there are plenty of employers who

are saying that they can’t find enough qualified candidates for specific jobs, particularly at the entry level. “So there are jobs out there. And even if there isn’t an opening often if an employer meets someone who is on the ball and willing to work hard they can craft an internship that can then lead into a part-time job and then full-time,” said Tanny. The employment process works both ways, she added. Tanny, an MBA graduate from Stanford University, has had seven very radically different careers, all of which have been very useful in advising others about job searching, she said. Starting out in mergers, acquisitions and finance for insurance companies, Tanny then worked in wine marketing, followed by health care publishing. From there she became the chief marketing officer for a consumer software company, then ran a dotcom, and later was as an executive coach for Vistage, a local company that organizes executive leadership

groups. This led to her own executive consultancy service that she operates today. “I basically help people and companies grow,” Tanny explained. “That’s what gives me passion.” One of the biggest myths that job seekers face, no matter what the age, is that they think they can sit at home, apply on the internet for a job and get hired, Tanny remarked. “The truth is that this puts you in a reactive position and competing with everybody else out there. You basically have put yourself in with the sharks!” Rather, job seekers

should engage in a proactive search done the “old fashioned way”, by face to face networking. “And be clear about what you want so that people can better help,” Tanny advised. “Finding a Job in Your 20s” is the second book in what is now the “Ramen to Riches” series. Wood, with a passion for personal finance, wrote the series’ first book, “Building Wealth in Your 20s.” The couple’s collaboration on the second book was “delightful,” said Tanny who provided most of the content while Wood primarily wrote and edited the manuscript. “We really do see these books as our gift to help 20 somethings get by in the world and to not have to learn it the hard way. We’re giving them the tools to succeed, it doesn’t have to be as hard as it is feeling for people,” said Tanny. The book is now available both in hard copy and ebook from Amazon.com.

De-Evolution team members with their robot and trophies awarded for winning their second tournament this season: Yousuf Soliman, Ryan Lee, Colin Murphy, Nic Stone, Noah Sutton-Smolin, Merry Hodgman, Tristan Murphy.

De-Evolution CCA robotics team takes another championship; remains undefeated BY NIC STONE, DEEVOLUTION TEAM CAPTAIN AND CCA SENIOR Canyon Crest Academy’s De-Evolution robotics team was named champion at the season’s second qualifying tournament held at High Tech High in Point Loma on Dec. 1. This win extended the season’s undefeated streak for De-Evolution to 20 matches. Along with the tournament victory, De-Evolution was also named the winner of the Think Award which recognizes a team’s design and build process as recorded in the team’s engineering journal. De-Evolution also received nominations for the PTC Design Award and the Rockwell Collins Innovate Award, both of which celebrate a robot’s unique design, elegance and creativity. They were also one of three teams to be nominated for the coveted “judges choice” Inspire award. De-Evolution played seven matches to qualify for the semi-finals and finals. Officials say one score – 360 to zero – may have set a world record of high scoring for this season. Other scores for De-Evolution matches were 250-0, 155-0, 75-0, 6050, 242-0, and 155-0. For the semi-final and final matches, De-Evolution scored consistently in the mid to high 200s. The team’s success at both the Dec. 1 San Diego and the Nov. 17 Los Angeles qualifying tournaments will allow De-Evolution to compete at both the San Diego and Greater Los Angeles re-

gional tournaments on Feb. 23 and March 2, respectively. A win at either regional will qualify De-Evolution to compete at the World competition in St. Louis in April, where in 2011 De-Evolution placed second internationally. The next qualifying tournament that De-Evolution will compete in takes place on Jan. 12 at La Jolla Country Day. The public is invited to attend and support the team. De-Evolution is a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team composed of up to 10 students in grades 7-12. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an international robotics competition founded by inventor Dean Kamen to inspire students to excel and pursue careers in engineering, science and technology. Any local schools wishing to start a robotics program are encouraged to contact De-Evolution to schedule a visit or demonstration. De-Evolution team members, whose seven-member team consists of CCA students in grades 11 and 12, look forward to advancing understanding of robotics in middle and high schools and spreading the message of the excitement, team spirit and intellectual stimulation that FIRST competitions provide.

HOUSING continued from page 1 the HCD — and officials said the state authority is threatening to crack down hard on cities that aren’t up to standard — Del Mar would have to build at a density of 20 units per acre to be able to keep the units affordable. Last month, the city introduced possible changes in zoning — such as modifying the central (downtown) or north commercial zones — that would allow this high-density. Councilman Don Mosier said, however, that out of the 71 units needed, 10 are “penalty units,” and only 22 need to accommodate low or very low income residents, and the rest must be in the moderate income range. “[The low-income units] are difficult to achieve in Del Mar … We must build at 20 units per acre for those affordable units,” said Mosier. “For the moderate ones, we can deal with past con-

struction.” When it comes to city’s current task of showing — within only several weeks — it has a plan in place, City Attorney Leslie Devaney said HCD is like a sleeping lion. She and Mayor Carl Hilliard both said they’ve witnessed the state entity threatening strict penalties, but Devaney said she is not sure how strict HCD will be. If the lion pounces, however, the carnage could be devastating, she said, and penalties could come in the form of financial repercussions, legal suit or mandating cities use their own public parks to develop affordable housing on. “I know what the carnage can be … I just don’t know how sensitive that lion is,” Devaney said, adding that she is not aware of other out-of-compliance cities’ experiences approaching HCD. Much discontent has been expressed from the community that the city should have dealt with the issue of affordable housing

separately than in the Village Specific Plan (VSP), which failed at the polls as Prop J. In the VSP, affordable housing was just one element among an extensive amount of changes to the city’s development code, circulation, appearance and parking. Del Mar resident and county supervisor Pam Slater-Price said it’s not fair that the city voted against Prop J, with the housing element being part of it, and is now making a hurried decision on the issue. “It sounds like you had a job to do last year that you did not do,” she told the council on Dec. 3. “Postpone this until after the holidays so that you can work with the housing authority … The breathing fire dragons of Sacramento haven’t come down on us before and they aren’t going to now.” Resident Dave Druker, who helped steer a campaign against Prop J during the past several months, said he believes the city is working in good faith and penalties are not going to be set. “We don’t plan because of a litigation threat,” he said. “We plan because of what’s good for the commu-

nity.” The draft housing element document is available at www.delmar.ca.us/News/ Documents/Final%20 Draft%20for%2012-512%20Planning%20Commission%20review.pdf

VETERANS continued from page 1 can be constructed independently from the rest of the project without significant impacts to the rest of the park’s Master Plan. Part of the fundraising efforts may include selling artistic tiles around the memorial, similar to what occurred at the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Staff estimated that the project in its entirety will cost about $160,000. That includes $17,000 for construction design, $32,550 for a bench with inset tiles, $24,500 for the water feature and $9,450 for a concrete walkway, among other various costs. The city will be responsible for the bid process and securing a contractor. Teri Renteria, a Solana Beach resident, expressed her support for the memori-

al. She said that having grown up in Eden Gardens and having seen so many people from the area go into the armed forces, she sees it as the perfect location for the installation. “A schoolmate of mine was one of the first casualties of Vietnam,” she said, adding that there are surviving veterans from World War II living locally. “They are few and frail … One is losing his eyesight and I’d like to have this done so he can see it before he loses his eyesight.” Local historian and longtime resident Chuckles Hernandez also expressed his support for the project, and said he will be helping Renteria in fundraising for the memorial. Councilman Dave Roberts also “strongly conceptually supports the memorial,” he said, and he hope that veterans from all wars, including Iraq, Afghanistan and Desert Storm, who have served from Solana Beach will be honored.

PARK continued from page 1 agrees on keeping the following times and uses: •Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:30 p.m. until dusk: use by Little League or other organized sports licensed by the city • Monday through Sunday from 6 to 8:30 a.m.: offleash dogs allowed •Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to dusk: off-leash dogs allowed

LIGHTS continued from page 3 measure. “City residents would have only known about the decision if they happened to subscribe to the city’s email list,” he said, asking the city to postpone the decision. Del Mar Public Works Director Eric Minicilli said a decision is time sensitive, because the city was awarded a $25,000 state grant for the project and funds must be used by March. “If there is a change, these things take six weeks to arrive, and we are under the gun,” said Minicilli, adding that Del Mar was originally passed up for the California Energy Consumption (CEC) grant, but ended up being awarded it after the state reworked its finances. Councilman Don Mosier said he realizes that community members have, and may continue, to express concern about light pollution caused by the brighter lights, however, he said the environmental and cost-saving qualities outweigh that downfall. Councilman Terry Sinnot said there are added safety benefits of the whiter, truer light, such as aiding police in identifying cars. He did suggest, however, that the city be proactive about shielding the lights when necessary to protect properties that may be negatively impacted.

Blue Christmas? “The Holidays” can be an excruciatingly difficult time if you’re sad, grieving a loss, or just facing problems this year—especially when the expectations of the world around us seem to be all about Decking the Halls. This year, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is offering a “Blue Christmas” service featuring a little comfort and joy, as it were, but without all of the tinsel and trappings. It will be a blend of Scripture and Christmas music, with a focus on candlelight, prayers and peace— and acknowledging the poignant feelings that the season can inspire. St. Peter’s invites anyone who has experienced a loss—a loved one, job, health—to join us for a time of honest reflection and hope. The Blue Christmas service will be on Monday, Dec. 17, at 7 p.m., St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is located at 334 14th St. in Del Mar Village, one block east of the 101. To learn more about St. Peter’s, see www.stpetersdelmar.net or call 858-755-1616 x 101

Local woman looking to grow her Moms Making Six Figures team • Company allows women to work from home while supplementing or replacing their income BY CLAIRE HARLIN Barbara Ryan is a former trauma surgeon who wants to spend more time with her husband when he’s home from deployment. Cindy Posa used to own a child care business but closed it after the economy plummeted. Angie Gange is a former Carmel Valley mortgage broker who wants to send her three teenage sons to college. Michelle Martin is a former information technology executive who quit her job to spend time with her five children. These women come from all walks of life, however, they have one thing in common — Moms Making Six Figures, a company started by local resident Heidi Bartolotta to allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. And yes, they really do make six figures, she said. For whatever reason, there are many women — and especially mothers —

Moms Making Six Figures team members. who were effected by the economic hit the country recently took, and the effects are still being felt, she said. “We’re still losing jobs left and right,” said Bartolotta. “Families are still living with repercussions of pay cuts or debt that happened years ago … Or there are the women who may be back in the work force but have spent the past few years with their family at home and don’t want to be back in the office.” Bartolotta said her team of about 40 is comprised of women from very different education levels and backgrounds, as well as different personalities and work styles. “We are across the board,” she said. “We are so different but have a team that is good at helping women accomplish their goals.” Moms Making Six Figures is not just in San Diego, and she said there is the opportunity to take the business to oth-

er cities in the case that a team member must move. She said this has been a solution for military wives who are forced to move often and find it hard to have steady income. “This is a company you can take with you,” she said. “You would never have to start all over again. I think a lot of time that’s the reason military wives don’t work even though, financially, they need to.” For Bartolotta, Moms Making Six Figures was the solution to her desire to spend more time at home. She had been working in the pharmaceutical industry for years before realizing her career path was not going to give her everything she wanted, so she took the plunge by quitting her job to embark on Moms Making Six Figures. “I wanted my kids to be my priority,” she said, “not my job.” Bartolotta said she’s looking to grow her team, and interested women can contact her at heidi@momsmakingsixfigures.com or (858) 837-1505.

Solana Beach community center public use analysis out for public review BY CLAIRE HARLIN After commissioning a private environmental review in September, the Solana Beach City Council on Nov. 28 approved releasing the document evaluating the potential impact of allowing public use of the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Written comments on the draft will be accepted through Feb. 28 at 5 p.m. and the document is available at: http://www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us/index.asp?SEC=F444BEE44EAA-4CDA-9BA7-AE7ABD87C54E&Type=B_BASIC Many members of the community have, since its completion, requested to rent the blufftop venue, as was allowed more than a decade ago. Once in shambles, the property is now LEED certified, modernly designed and well-landscaped with mosaic picnic tables. The City Council has not yet had a formal discussion on the document, released Nov. 29. Among findings is that use of the center should not coincide with Highway 101 construction and a security guard should be required for use when alcohol is provided. Also suggested are designated hours, loading zones, use frequency and noise parameters. Councilman Mike Nichols said on Nov. 28 that the city has already poured about $35,000 into exploring the feasibility of public use, and he wants to see officials keep thorough records of all consulting costs and dedicated staff time so the city can recoup funding through public rental fees — the setting of which will come up for discussion in the future. Nichols, the only councilmember who did not support the environmental review in September, saying “public funds should not be used for private parties,” also questioned whether the analysis examined the lifeline of the facility in relation to geological conditions. Comments on the document can be sent to Wendé Protzman, the city’s community development director, at WProtzman@cosb.org or by fax: (858) 792-6513. Comments on the document can also be sent to the city by mail: 635 South Highway 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

Residents asked to support local shops • ‘Cash mob’ event to be held Dec. 7 in Solana Beach If you are thinking about getting a cup at Yummy Yogurt in Solana Beach anytime soon, you may be interested in the recent invite extended from the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce — a “cash mob” taking place on Friday, Dec. 7 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the shop, located at 153 N. Highway 101, Solana Beach (next to Pizza Port). The chamber is trying to raise awareness and remind people to keep their dollars local, support the businesses affected by construction on the 101 and “Shop Solana Beach First.” The Friday cash mob will be just that — a congregation of people at the same place and same time to spend a few dollars, which add up to a lot for local businesses. The chamber is also encouraging locals to shop Solana for the holidays, and is even giving away a prize valued at $500 to a lucky person who shops local between Dec. 5 and Dec. 10.

Local kids get an early start in robotics at Robolink BY CLAIRE HARLIN According to Chang Hong, imagineers are going to be the leaders of the future. “Imagineer is a compound word of ‘imagine’ and ‘engineer,’” said Hong, founder of Robolink, which provides classes for local kids in robotics. “I think Steve Jobs is one good representation of an imagineer.” Hong, of Carmel Val-

One advanced Robolink course involves constructing a real, operable robot with arms and legs. COURTESY PHOTO

ley, came from Seoul, Korea to the United States with experience as a telecom device company CEO, but his passion project is Robolink, an “edutainment” — that’s “education” and “entertainment,” he said — company that has been largely successful with six offices in Korea. Believing that robotics is crucial in the futures of kids growing up in this era of technology, he brought the company to San Diego, starting an office in Sorrento Valley earlier this year. Hansol Hong, Chang’s son, manages the family business, which serves elementary and middle school kids through a 12-week course. The Hongs hope to begin teaching high school courses next year, just as the Robolink facilities do in Korea. “Korea and America are very different, so they have different ways of teaching. Here, we are trying to start younger and build up to more advanced,” said Hansol Hong. “In America, more creative skill sets are taught, such as coming up

with solutions, while in Korea kids learn more problem solving at a young age and the goal is more efficiencybased, making things faster and stronger.” Kids get a taste of creativity and problem solving at Robolink. They work in teams to build intricate robots that actually perform tasks and functions, and the assignments get harder and more complex as the kids progress through the 12week course. Classes are held weekly, however, four instructors rotate throughout the course. A beginner assignment, for example, is a line follower car that actually moved along a path. One of the more complex robots is a simple version of a robotic surgery arm, which mirrors the robotics technology that is actually popping up in the field of healthcare. “Kids can actually see how surgeons are controlling the robot,” said Hansol. “They control one arm and the robotic arm mimics the human motions.” Chang said one of the major reasons he started Ro-

bolink is to supplement the standard educational system with a skill that will be a huge part of the future — as in, robots may very well be the next computers or smartphones. He also said a huge mission of Robolink is to help kids relieve their stresses from other studies. “Students are enjoying the education,” he said. “That’s the charm of the robotics education and that’s why I started the business.” He chose San Diego as the launch city for the business because it’s very science and engineering oriented. He said this area is of particular interest because there are a lot tech professionals living there and

working for Qualcomm, San Diego Tech Center, and other technology companies who would like their kids to pursue technology-related education. “[This area] is best suited for our company because it is the neighborhood with high interests in education as well as high interests in technology,” he said. “It makes a perfect combination and we’ve been hearing from many [local] parents that they were seeking this type of education.” For more information on Robolink, located at 5677 Oberlin Drive, Suite 202, San Diego, 92121; visit www.robolink.com or call (858) 527-5859.

Join old friends and new for the 20th annual Red Nose Run (3K walk and 5K run), a holiday fun run along the beaches of Del Mar.

Registration that day is at 1 p.m. This festive fun run will be followed by holiday food and cheer at Poseidon Restaurant. (Please feel free to come in holiday running attire.) The event will benefit Fresh Start Surgical Gifts and Semper Fi Fund. Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, Inc. provides reconstructive surgery free to needy children who have physical deformities caused by birth defects, accidents, abuse or disease.

Solana Pacific Girl Scout Troop earns Bronze award one shoe at a time! Girl Scout Troop 1360 worked with the nonprofit organization Donate Your Old Shoes to collect, sort and deliver over 500 pairs of shoes. Earlier this year, the girls held a shoe drive at Solana Pacific Elementary School, plus collected shoes from family, friends and neighbors. They also spent several hours at the storage unit organizing and boxing shoes to be shipped overseas to places where people are barefoot. These shoes have gone to countries like the Philipines, Nicaragua,and even the jungles of Africa. Donate Your Old Shoes was established by Carmel Valley’s Cleary family. For more information on the organization, visit www.donateyouroldshoes.org Concurrent with the Bronze award, the troop completed the requirements for the Junior Girl Scout journey Amaze. This troop has been together since they were in second grade under the expert guidance of troop leaders Julie Sherlock and Susan Zhang. “The girls have spent the past year working hard on the award,” says Zhang. “It’s been a pleasure watching the girls grow!” says Sherlock. The girls are now going for their next goal — the Silver award.

Torrey Hills Robotics teams shine, win honors The Torrey Hills Robotics Team, made up of 36 fifth and sixth graders, in six teams, took part in a Qualifying First Lego League tournament at Preuss School in La Jolla. This year the FLL challenge was Senior Solutions, how robots can help seniors in mobility and everyday functions. Students worked with a senior partner, they visited Emeritus, the Senior Assisted Living Facility on Del Mar Heights Road, and talked with seniors to find out the challenges faced by them. Each team identified one problem and researched the cause and solutions that existed today. Then they created an innovative solution to the problem they identified using robotics to solve it. Students then shared their solutions with the seniors they interviewed, and also made a presentation at school to their peers. At the Preuss Qualifying tournament, one team the Mindstorm Masters, was the highest scoring team for the Robot Run. Three teams qualified to go on to the Southern California Regional FLL Championship Tournament at Legoland where the teams competed with 55 other teams from all around Southern California. One team, the Purple Pufferfish, won First Place in Robot Design.

Solana Highlands School Running Club thriving thanks to efforts of parent Sheri Kono BY KAREN BILLING During Tuesdays at lunch at Solana Highlands School you will find children running around the playground as part of their very active Running Cub. Some run in playful packs with friends, some on a ferocious sprint, some take a leisurely stroll but all are moving and choosing exercise over any other activity on the playground. The proud and enthusiastic leader overseeing the club is parent Sheri Kono, easily spotted by the giant yellow flower pinned to her cap. “The students are so excited to come out and run laps together, doing something that typically you would think of as hard and kids wouldn’t choose to do,” Kono said. “Parents commented to me that their kids don’t even want to walk to school and yet they’re excited about running 20 minutes at lunch.” The fit Kono started exercising regularly in the last couple years and running played a big part in her routine. She hesitates to call herself a runner, but she logs 10-mile runs on the weekends and competes in several local races — she’s train-

ing for a half marathon in February. She wanted to get involved in the running club after seeing how excited Solana Highlands kids were receiving their running awards at the monthly allschool assemblies. Since she’s signed on as the running club leader, she’s made several changes, including adding kindergartners (who run for just 15 minutes), added monthly sprint days where kids go all-out as fast as they can for 30 second intervals, and implemented a new barcode scanning system as a method of tracking laps, replacing the old hole-punch system.

All of the children’s results are posted by the end of the day on a passwordprotected school site. Students earn “toe tokens” — charms for their necklace with every five laps. Kono said they had to make the award structure harder this year to be able to afford all the awards as the kids just keep running harder to earn them. Last year they gave out t-shirts for students who had racked up 100 laps and a total of 24 students earned a shirt. This year, Kono estimates over 150 students will get to 100 laps. The program runs on PTA funding, as well as generous support from local businesses such as Jimbo’s, Golden Spoon and Souplantation. Kono is trying to organize more running activities outside of school—last year some Solana Highlands students competed in the Junior Carlsbad races, running events from a 25-yard dash up to a mile for different age groups, 2 through 12. She has also started a Mom’s Run Club that meets at the school after morning drop-off about two to three times a week. “Support from parents

Young participants in the Running Club really makes a difference too,” said Kono, who said about 12 to 15 parents working in multiple shifts help make Tuesdays go. “It’s pretty volunteer intensive. That’s one of the best things about this year and one of the reasons why the club has been so successful. This couldn’t happen without all the volunteers.” Parent Mitzy Taggart was overflowing with compliments about the running

club. Her son Aidan still has his necklace from last year even though he has graduated to middle school and her son Roen “looks forward to Tuesdays” because he loves it so much. Her children got so into running that, over the summer, her family had their own running club with mom and children going to the school to run laps around the playground. “It’s extending for a lot

of people beyond the school, which is really exciting and what I love most about being part of it,” Kono said. Kono loves seeing the children’s progress. She told one story of a girl whose mother takes her on weekend hikes and how she struggled with stamina until she started doing the running club. She remembers another time when a kid was close to making one of his running goals and he was shocked when the parents all told him he was just one lap away. Kono said the boy asked them in disbelief “I can do it?”, ran that last lap and his doubt changed to an assertive “I did it!” Those type of success stories inspire Kono and got her hooked on the Running Club. “If they can learn while they’re young that exercise is fun and rewarding, that’s something they can carry on with them for the rest of their lives,” Kono said. “Those first couple of miles are hard for everyone. If they learn to go past that first couple of miles, even when it’s hard, they’re learning they can do hard things.”

Former TPHS basketball stand-out shining on a national level BY ROB LEDONNE The village of Chestnut Hill, Mass., is a long way from Torrey Pines High School. This time of year it can get quite cold and blustery, the closest beach isn’t exactly known for its surf, and judging by its size and scope, the campus of its claim to fame, Boston College, is a far cry from the TPHS campus. None of that matters to Joe Rahon, however, a basketball star at Torrey Pines who graduated in June and is in the midst of his freshman year playing for BC’s famed Eagles basketball team. The Eagles have churned out NBA stars such as the Phoenix Sun’s Jared Dudley and the Boston Celtic’s Sean Williams, something that’s not lost on Rahon. “The difference between playing basketball for high school and college is intensity of practice,” he explains from the BC campus while waiting for the team’s daily weight training session to begin. “In high school, you can coast through practice because you’re the best player on your team. In college, everyone on your team is on your level, so the coaches expect you to play really hard. Practically everyone is trying to take your spot and fighting for time on the court.” The road to playing college level basketball, especially for a team as esteemed as BC, can be long and hard. Rahon, who grew up minutes away from the Torrey Pines campus, caught the basketball bug from his brother, James. “I’ve been playing since I can remember, whether it was just shooting outside with my brother or dad, or at recess at school,” he remembers. “It wasn’t until my brother was going to play basketball at San Diego State that it hit me it was something I could do too.” Throughout his time playing for Torrey Pines, his brother was there to give him the

Joe Rahon Photo courtesy Boston College pointers, tips and insight that he picked up at SDSU, and it’s that guidance which probably made Rahon a standout during his successful high school career. Says Rahon: “My four years there, we never lost a home playoff game and were always in the CIF finals.” While he notes that “it was as good of an experience as I could have hoped for,” the exception is that during his sophomore year he tore his ACL and was out for a full season, watching from the sidelines and waiting to heal.

Perform

“For my first college-level games, we played against four professional Spanish teams. I obviously felt a few nerves, but as soon as I ran up and down the court I realized it was nothing to be nervous about since this was something I’ve played my whole life.” Now that the season’s begun, Rahon is focusing on balancing traveling, playing, and schoolwork. “I think the key is to get as much sleep as possible to help your body recover. It’s grueling,” he explains, citing a recent game played in South Carolina, immediately after which he flew back to Boston late that night, went to class the next morning, and played again that day. The beginning of the season has gotten off to a moderately slow start, with the school winning and losing its fair share, but it’s nothing Rahon says they can’t make up. Meanwhile, Rahon has quickly turned into a standout player. According to BC Teammate Ryan Anderson: “The fact that both he and (fellow guard) Olivier Hanlan have made an immediate impact as freshman is amazing. It just shows how prepared they were coming into this season. They worked hard and got the job done in the preseason and that is paying off for them now.” Throughout his time at BC, he always keeps in mind his Torrey Pines experience. “There wasn’t a high school I’d rather play for,” Rahon explains. “TP’s Coach Olive is one of the best high school coaches around; he prepared me for how college is going to be and how practice is like.” With that, he went to begin his training session to prepare for another slate of upcoming games, including a win at Penn State the next day.

When he finally got back on the court, Rahon was a force to be reckoned with and sooner rather than later colleges started to take notice. “They were on a recruiting trip for another player, and gave me a call to say they were interested,” he explains. “The process started from there.” What followed was a two-year stretch of wooing by BC. Said Rahon: “They would call once a week or so and just talk about the college and how their team is doing. They were coming to watch me play whenever they could and I’d send them tapes, but really the whole process is about building a relationship with each other and getting comfortable.” At the same time that Rahon was racking up more attention and accolades (including being voted one of the top 30 high school basketball prospects in all of California by CaliHighSports.com), other schools were vying for him as well. “I went on recruiting trips to my final five schools and chose BC simply because I liked it here the best,” he explains of his decision, something his parents agreed with. “They were there every step of the way. At one point, coaches from each school came to visit us at our house, so they were very involved and liked BC too, which is surprising because it’s the farthest away from home.” On Graduation Day, June 17, Rahon said goodbye to Torrey Pines for good, and only had a week off before he had to report to Boston for summer school. “All the guys had to take two classes, and we’d lift with the strength coach to get acclimated with the system and the campus.” Rahon came back home to visit for two weeks, and then it was off to Spain for a round of practice games and some team bonding.

Education Matters/Opinion The Wrap-Up BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e defeat of ProposiMarsha Sutton t i o n CC, Del Mar Union School District’s bond measure, was so close to a victory, thanks to the valiant efforts of supporters, that it can hardly be regarded as a failure. What it indicates is strong support in this district for education and fiscal stability. That it barely failed to reach the 55 percent mark points to easily fixable remedies should the district propose another bond measure in 2014. San Dieguito Union High School District’s bond measure, Proposition AA, was successful, so all that may be needed for Del Mar is attention paid to the differences between the two approaches. Figuring out what went wrong by examining what nearby districts did right might be a starting point for next time, if there is a next time. Critics, including the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, generally point to five or six problems with Del Mar’s bond. The district often spoke of its intent to use General Obligation bond money to offset general fund expenditures, which violates the conditions of a GO bond. If the district had stopped calling the bond an alternative funding source to plug a gap in funding for general-purpose expenditures – and spoke instead about using the money appropriately to provide capital improvements – it would have helped. Also, those capital improvements should be for immediate, critical facilities needs. Districts can’t ask for money from constituents with a wish-list of projects they’d like to do or that would be nice to have some time in the future. Plus, not every school needs major work. Bond measures need to be specific, cite actual projects that require immediate attention, and estimate how much each will cost, to arrive at a substantiated, justifiable total. Not all schools are in desperate need of repairs and upgrades, so including them just to get more parent buy-in is a bad strategy. Inventing a need when there is none sours many on the entire list.

And the much-publicized use of bond money by districts to pay for electronic devices with a short life span, although nice to have, is not a capital improvement. It’s like taking out a 30-year home loan to buy a new appliance. Perhaps the greatest obstacle facing Prop. CC was the perception that the bond was slapped together at the last minute and lacked proper preparation and due diligence, something this community demands. Voters understood the difference between a vague strategic plan and a specific, in-depth, well-considered report, compiled by dedicated task force members, of exactly what’s needed and how much each project will cost. The district has time over the next two years to fully address some of these issues and will likely find a very different outcome if the decision is made to try again. Strategy for success In a story by reporter Karen Billing in the Nov. 22 issue of this publication, she reports that bond supporters said one disappointment was the “thin support” from parents, teachers and the PTAs. Isn’t that like saying the team lost the basketball game because players didn’t score enough points? A better strategy for success would be to reach out to those against the bond and have a civil dialogue with them to understand how to address the concerns of the community and learn what’s needed to fix the problems that caused voters to oppose it, not blame the result on ignorance or apathy. My opinion columns have also been publicly linked to the failure of Prop. CC. I’m flattered bond supporters think I have that much influence. But I don’t. Rather, they underestimate the intelligence of the electorate which insults the community. Many people in this district understood that there were fundamental flaws with the language of the bond and the way it was structured. Voters in this highly educated community are more than capable of thinking for themselves and evaluating on their own all the factors that ultimately contributed to the bond’s failure. Let’s give constituents some credit for re-

searching the issues and reaching thoughtful conclusions on their own. One place to start might be with DMUSD trustee Doug Perkins who, alone among the five board members, voted to oppose placing the bond measure on the ballot last July. Instead of being recognized for having the courage to vote his conscience against the majority and the foresight to read public sentiment correctly, his vote was called divisive and he was told at the school board meeting last month that his efforts contributed to the bond’s defeat, according to the Nov. 22 article. One of the hallmarks of a successful school board is a free exchange of diverse opinions and a healthy sharing of ideas in a respectful environment. Perkins evaluated the facts, took the pulse of the community, searched for answers and came to a decision consistent with his beliefs. Is this not what board members are elected to do? Civility and acceptance Del Mar’s board members themselves set an admirable example of courtesy and acceptance. During this difficult election season, with controversial bond and state proposition issues on education at the forefront locally, trustees have been gracious and civil. It’s clear that they are all committed to doing the best they can for the district and have taken on this thankless job with seriousness for the duty they owe to the children. Trustee Kristin Gibson in particular spoke with me at length about the bond, and, although we disagreed, I have enormous respect for her dedication and great appreciation for her willingness to engage in a healthy debate that was marked above all else by civility, quiet calm and respect. A chance meeting with trustee Comischell Rodriguez resulted in an awkward moment that ended with a tentative hug. I salute her professionalism and give her credit for serving as a board member during four extremely difficult and trying years. Although we disagreed on many issues, she was never offensive or rude. Conversations with Doug Rafner, Scott Wooden and Perkins have also been marked by friendliness, civility and open dialog – no matter the subject.

One Paseo: Still issues to be addressed So, Kilroy is reducing the One Paseo project by 30 percent? We could quibble with the numbers as the original proposal was for 1.85M square feet, not the 2M now cited. But we really need to keep in mind that the important baseline number is neither 1.85M nor 2M but 510,000. That’s the current entitlement for any developer wanting to build on the site in question. What Kilroy wants to do is change the San Diego General Plan to allow a three-fold (originally four and a halffold) increase in the occupied square footage. Our streets and roads were designed for 510,000. Del Mar Heights Road is already congested with the land still vacant. Perhaps Kilroy will present adequate mitigation for the traffic generated by this project; however, the track record from the Draft EIR does not inspire confidence. Meanwhile, we need to counteract the million dollar public relations job Kilroy is launching. I wonder if Trader Joe’s knows that we avid shoppers will not be able to get there from here; we’ll be stuck in traffic. Diana Scheffler, Architect Torrey Pines Community

PROJECT continued from page 1 city in 2010, with 219 residential units and 195,000 square feet of retail, including a movie theater. Coast Income would like to eliminate the movie theater, scale down to 145,000 square feet of retail, and add 110 to 115 more residential units for a total of about 330 residential units, including 86 affordable housing units. The design and architecture will remain as was originally proposed and buildings will be a mix of one to six stories. The new plans reflect a five-foot height increase over what was approved. “We’re very excited about it. We love the property and it’s a great, great neighborhood,” said Tom Blake, founder and president of Coast Income Properties. The altered plans have not been submitted to the city yet for the substantial conformance review process—the developers are first going through the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, the matter will possibly be on the Dec. 12 regional issues subcommittee agenda. The height increase is one of the changes that hasn’t been embraced by the neighbors present. They like the “openness” of their community, the skyline with views of the mountains and they said six story heights would really change the character of the area. “We’re hearing (the feedback) on the six stories,” said Blake. “We probably need to address that.” The other big issue that neighbors seem to have with the changes to the plan is the loss of a fullsized grocery store. Blake plans to split the 43,000-square-foot building many neighbors had hoped would be a full size grocery store into two buildings. The two buildings (one about 10-15,000 square feet, the other about 1520,000 square feet) would be a boutique or specialty grocery store and the other would likely be a drug store. Residents wondered what the benefit was of downsizing the grocery store and pointed out if they had a full-scale grocery store, they wouldn’t need the separate drug store.

December 6, 2012 One local resident in attendance said that his concern is that if the developers continue to “peel back” on the retail and commercial element, with all the new homes in the area, it’s just going to create a situation where residents of PHR are still going to Del Mar Highlands, Camino Del Sur or Solana Beach to access the goods and services they need. “The incremental takes creates a less than ideal project,” the man said. Blake said that of the 45,000-square-foot reduction in retail, 35,000 of it was the movie theater. He said the community had expressed an interest in a specialty market and that he’s really trying to create a village/main street concept by breaking up the large building. “You can’t do everything all the time,” Blake said. “A drug store and pharmacy is a very high demand for this area.” “A full grocery store is what we want,” neighbors in opposition reiterated. Blake shared with the neighbors some of the other changes to the site. The additional housing units in the Village are being transferred in from approved neighboring “Jelly Bean” and Taylor Morrison housing developments located less than a quarter of a mile from the site. Coast Income is purchasing the two-acre “Jelly Bean” parcel on Carmel Valley Road, and they will build only eight of those 60 approved units and move the remaining 52 to the Village. They are also purchasing a neighboring Taylor Morrison development and bringing 57 of their excess units to the Village. To attract tenants to the Village retail sites, the plan is for the lower floor shop spaces on Main Street to have high ceilings, up from the standard 12 feet to about 20 feet which Blake said creates a nice shopping experience and is a style more tenants are looking for. The top level of the retail area will be more service retail types, such as orthodontists in a 12- to-15-feet high space with a parapet. Blake said the tenants would be able to have “playful storefronts” that are distinctive and provide identity for the stores. Buildings have been moved back to create larger sidewalks to promote pedestrian use and more outdoor dining. Blake said they hope

to have five to eight restaurants with a mix of fine dining, medium dining and fast-serve. REI, Nordstrom Rack and an upper-end gym have also been named as potential tenant styles they are after. Blake admires the recent overhaul of University Town Center and hopes to replicate the “almost living room-like” outdoor furniture they have there for people to meet and gather. The village plaza area will be a large 130-feet wide by 500-feet long space that they also hope will be a comfortable place for people to gather. Blake said they are looking to add a water feature like a 40-foot long fountain with a seating wall or tables on decomposed granite surface and possibly outdoor fireplaces. Roads in and out of the center frame the plaza area and some residents worried that it won’t be a safe place to gather. Blake said a similar style plaza could be found at Santana Row in San Jose. Resident Dean Dubey said he likes the new main street, but he misses the “vertically integrated” use — the original plan had housing over retail. He said that the integrated use makes it feel as though the retail is spread out over the whole village, as well as the housing, instead of divided into two areas. Blake said he appreciated Dubey’s input and explanation. “This project will not look like two separate projects when you’re looking at it,” Blake said. “Let us show you our renderings and then see if you have the same feelings.” The Village also includes a green area 100 feet across that goes 500 feet long that the developers are looking for input on. Ideas so far include community gardens, bocce ball courts, a playground, a meandering trail with passive seating spaces, and a terraced lawn with seating walls. The four-, five- and sixstory residential units that edge the park area will be screened with pathways, trees and other landscaping. Local resident Karen Dubey has created a community survey for members to weigh in with their opinions on the project. It can be found at phrvillage. blogspot.com/.

DONOR continued from page 3 that the foundation was only asking for approval of a temporary installation. “The wall is in a state of disrepair,” she said. “It’s pretty ugly.” Local artists Mara Bickett and Becky Deller designed the installation, and 89 people voted for it, beating out two other design renderings at the Del Mar Community Building open house in August. Residents may recognize those local moms because they’ve steered youth art projects around Del Mar, such as the child-generated “Chihuly Plastique” recycled art project that was on display at the Post Office last year. At the open house, the artists attracted $1,250 in donations specifically for project. Wheeler said she also made the mistake of ordering the construction of the tiles prior to council approval of the donor recognition, so council members suggested she hang them indoors and have blank tiles made in order to follow through with the artistic portion of the project. Warren Spieker, of Friends of the Del Mar Parks, said just because the word “temporary” is in a proposal, does not mean it will be diligently taken down after two years. “What’s meant to be temporary in Del Mar may actually take on permanence,” he said, garnering a laugh from the council. More importantly, he said, if donor recognition for the community building is approved, the Friends would seek implementation of donor recognition for those who helped buy the Shores property for $8.5 million in 2007. “Let’s stop this waste of your time having to consider every subject that comes up, and let’s use the time and community interest to develop the park into something we will all enjoy,” he said. “There’s no better time than now to master plan the Shores park.” Lee Haydu, like the other council members, said she appreciates the

donors and feels bad not supporting the recognition of those who have stepped forward to renovate the community building. “I have mixed feelings,” she said. “But we’d be opening up a can of worms.” Councilman Don Mosier reminded the council that there’s written policy to now allow donor recognition, and precedent was set through a previously denied effort to install a donor bench on the property. “We would need to be consistent and make sure the donors who helped buy the Shores park would be first on the recognition list,” he said.

WRAP continued from page 18 DMUSD’s new superintendent, Holly McClurg, who just took over the superintendency July 1, was handed this bond and inherited a distraction. Now that the election is over, she can focus on education in the classroom, which is what she does best, and build a solid future for the students. The challenges she faces are daunting, however, given the demands of a district with plenty of troublesome issues to occupy her time – most notably, the fiscal crisis, deficit spending and generous employee packag-

es. Perhaps she and her board might consider negotiating in earnest with employee unions, to demonstrate that every avenue for cost-cutting is being explored. This would go a long way toward showing that the district is serious about cutting costs and channeling more money into the classroom. As one person wrote in an on-line discussion on the topic, “Show us you (the district) can be fiscally responsible and the community will reward you.” Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

Del Mar-Carmel Valley Sharks Girls U14 tops at tournament, complete shutout The Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks Girls U14 All Star soccer team won its division at the La Jolla Tournament this past weekend. The local girls did not lose a game, winning all five of their matches during the tournament, held on Saturday and Sunday, beating talented teams from Ramona, Penasquitos, and Poway. The defense, consisting of Makensy Carey at goalkeeper and Rachel Lee, Makena Hervey, Christine Shoemaker, and Emma Marks at defenders, did not allow a goal the entire tournament and the Sharks were the only team to do so. Offensively, it was a team effort, with eight goals from five different girls including Cammy Doheny, Abby Ausmus, and Amelia Clayton, and all star efforts put forth from players like Malvika Jain and Stavi Augur. The team is coached by Marianne Rigopolous and assisted by Mark Watkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we saw this weekend was a total team effort,â&#x20AC;?

The boys U14 Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks all-star team was crowned champions at the 2012 La Jolla All-Star tournament on Dec. 2, narrowly edging Solana Beach, 1-0. In a tight Sunday afternoon Final game, Ryan A. put the Sharks ahead with a spectacular header goal in the 50th minute. Oscar, Evan and Bruno led the offense with crisp passing and hard shots. Ryan P, Bradley, Jakob, Ryan J provided strong midfield support with great energy and skill while Connor and Tyler dazzled with fancy footwork on the outside midfield. Patrick had several spectacular saves as goalie. Last, but not least, Chris S, Chris F, Eli, Eitan and Jason formed the Diamond Defense to shut down the mighty Solana Beach offense that had averaged six goals per game in the prelims. “I am very proud of the boys”, said Coach Shopes, “They played beautiful soccer in the final and were great examples of the Sharks motto of “Fun, Sportsmanship and Fair Play”. Their parents should be proud of not only their Championship victory but how they got there.” Coach Shopes thanked the Solana Beach team not only for a clean, competitive and action-packed Final game but also in the sportsmanship they exhibited in playing hard and winning a prelim game that allowed the Sharks to make the finals.

WalkSanDiego to tour SB Family to appear on ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Have you ever wondered how South Cedros Avenue developed into a hip design and lifestyle South Cedros Avenue, 1927, with Solana e n c l a v eIron Works on the left. COURTESY PHOTO from utilitarian quonset huts, or for whom Fletcher Cove was named, or perhaps why the Coastal Rail Trail was created? Dave Schumacher has the answers. This Saturday morning, Dec. 8 at 9 a.m., local community members are invited to meet up with Schumacher at the intersection of the east side of Highway 101 and Via de la Valle in Solana Beach for a two-hour, three-mile guided walking tour that takes in these treasured landmarks and more. As co-founder and board member of the non-profit organization WalkSanDiego, and the Principal Transportation Planner for the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Schumacher promotes walkable communities. Part of his interest is in making sure that neighborhoods are walking friendly, “So that people may get out and walk safely whether it’s for health or convenience,” he explained. Serving as a volunteer tour guide, armed with books provided by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, and equipped with period photographs of the area, Schumacher will retell some of the history of South Cedros Avenue, which was at one time dominated by the Bill Jack scientific plant where several top-secret military projects were developed. Points of interest along Cedros is the location where the King brothers at one time housed their Culligan Water business and the original site of Solana Iron Works, now known as Baker Ironworks, which was relocated to Eden Gardens in the late 1920s, where it is still in operation. The tour will continue north, passing by the former sites of Herschell Larrick Sr.’s Lumber and Building Supply Company, and G.G. Wilkens’ Supply and Feed Store – long since demolished – to Fletcher Cove, where walkers will learn how and when it was developed and what unusual method was used to create access to the beach. Schumacher heads up his historic walking tours about 10 times a year. Past venues have included Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, La Mesa, La Jolla, and Point Loma. The walks are usually two to five miles in length and last up to two hours or more depending on the size of the group. “I always include the local history and talk about interesting trivia. It’s a chance for the group to learn a little more about who we are and where we came from,” said Schumacher. Solana Beach ranked among the top communities in San Diego County for walkability, according to WalkSanDiego that revealed its data on Halloween, a holiday known for foot traffic. The organization’s comprehensive rating system, the Regional Walk Scorecard, ranks cities based on the status of walking and considers such factors as the numSee TOUR, page B13

Local resident Dan Meader creates Allowance Manager software to help kids in a variety of ways BY KATHY DAY Dan and Kim Meader’s two boys are about to share a lesson with a national TV audience about how far giving a little bit of their allowance can go. Will, 11, and John, 12, and their parents are featured on the Dec. 10 edition of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the ABC show that focuses on a family with a special story and a cause that needs some sort of assistance. The Meaders became involved as a result of software that Dan designed to help parents and children manage their allowance, aptly named Allowance Manager. A former Apple engineer and senior operations manager who also has worked for Francis Ford Coppola Presents, Adobe Systems and VeriFone, the local resident readily admits that he’s never used his economics degree from UC Berkeley. During high school, he realized that computers were “pretty cool,” he said so he started programming Macs early on and gained expertise in user interface. Since his “life-changing” days at Apple where he worked with “a lot of smart creative people … who fundamentally have an entrepreneurial spirit,” he also has started two companies. One of them, InPlace, provides 360-degree virtual tours for real estate and travel sites. With all of that background, it was a trip to Costco that set him on the newest venture. “The boys and I sort of collectively had a light bulb moment,” he said, noting that outings to Costco are a family affair. Kim heads for the food side of the store; he checks out the sporting goods and technology side, and the boys go to the mid-

d ol

The Meader family takes a break from production of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ during their visit to Lincolnton, N.C., at a home near the one featured on the ABC show. Joining Santa are Kim and Will to his left and John and Dan to his right. COURTESY PHOTO dle where they pour over books and DVDs. One day, when they reconvened, the boys – as usual, he laughed – had something in their hands. When they asked if he would buy them a video game, he replied that they already had a lot of them. “Then they asked me, ‘Can we buy it ourselves with our allowance?’” he said. But he couldn’t remember how much they had or were due, he added, because he didn’t pay them regularly. When he asked them if they remembered, John said, “I think you owe us each $90.” Dan challenged him and got the answer: Three months earlier he had said he would give them a dollar a day so he owed them each $90. “You get an A+ for math, but didn’t you buy something last week?” was his reply. And, maybe, just maybe, their mom had deducted from their take when they didn’t clean up after themselves or for some other transgression.

Del Mar Family Paradise $1,695,000 Video Experience: www.NogalesDr.com

At that point, he said, the boys suggested I write a program for us that would track deposits and take it out when they buy something or add it when they got money from their Aunt Julie. So he “dashed off the basic functionality,” and the kids said it worked. “Will ran back to his bedroom and grabbed the money he had,” Dan said. “He thrust it into my hand and said put it in Allowance Manager.” The website, allowancemanager.com, features an allowance tracker and chore charts. It’s not a bank but, according to the site, is “designed to allow parents to reward good behavior, discourage misbehavior, track chores, and enter miscellaneous allowance entries that are otherwise difficult to remember.” The charts help monitor what’s been done or not. Only parents can add or delete information. The children get logins so they can see what where they stand. It worked so well at “de-

flecting the emotional stuff” that goes with giving children an allowance and keeping track of it, that “the nonsense went away,” Meader said. Although he “polished it up and put it up to the outside world,” he said he didn’t plan to make a business out of it. Early on, he did some early marketing through Google AdWords. Today Allowance Manager has more than 100,000 users. “It’s just being adopted through the App Store and Google searches,” he said. That’s the story of Allowance Manager; to get to Extreme Makeover takes another chapter. “There are only two things to do with our money – retain it or relinquish it,” he said. In other words, save and invest or spend and donate – all things that can be tracked through the software. “We thought, wouldn’t it be cool if we could take the users and encourage them to make contributions to a collective gift and do some good.” So they pitched the idea to the producers of Extreme Makeover, but it didn’t take hold until they had a story where there was a fit. They came across the Friday family and their three children who had cared for dozens of foster children through the years. Recently, a young boy named Chris came to stay with them, bringing a DVD of his four siblings. Meader said Chris told the Fridays he showed it at every home where he stayed “with the off chance that if I get adopted you would consider adopting all of us.” The Fridays¸ who ran a storefront consignment See MAKEOVER, page B13

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

The classical education method thriving at The Cambridge School •Ope n House events to be held Dec. 14 and Jan. 18 BY KAREN BILLING In 2006, Jeanne Kim started The Cambridge School with just nine students. Her vision was a school that was both Christian and academically rigorous, using the proven methods of a classical education. In the years that followed, Cambridge, located just off SR-56 on Black Mountain Road, has grown to include 150 students in grades kindergarten prep through seventh grade, drawing in people from all over the region. “The growth has been amazing,” said Jeffrey Yoder, director of advancement, noting they have added a grade every year and aim to offer kindergarten prep through 12th grade in the future, likely outgrowing their small but cozy campus. What has made Cambridge successful is also what makes it unique in San Diego: the classical education. The classical education method originated in Greece and Rome, educating great minds such as Plato, Aristotle and William Shakespeare, and remaining the norm until the 1850s. The method employs the principles of the Trivium, broken up into grammar; knowledge of basic facts; logic; organizing and analyzing relationships concerning those facts; and rhetoric, communicating those conclusions in a clear, persuasive and winsome manner. Students are typically working in grammar up to sixth grade, continue to the logic stage through early high school, and wrap up their high school education in the rhetoric stage. “Students are given the building blocks of education,” Yoder said. “They’re teaching children how to learn, not just what to learn.” “Cambridge really sets themselves apart,” said Mitchell Dong, marketing and communications coordinator. “The term ‘classical education’ can be thrown around a bit but going to the depth we’re going here, we haven’t seen it anywhere…By equipping these kids to think well, and to pro-

cess and communicate concisely and persuasively, you’re equipping them to be not just students but be good thinkers and humans outside of school.” At Cambridge, every subject is integrated. As a class takes on Bible studies, they are learning about the history and the science of that time. For example, in studying Egypt they will mummify a chicken and create a pulley system using the physics of the time. “With integration, everything is connected and clicks,” Dong said. “There’s an excitement about learning that you can feel in the air.” Starting in kindergarten, the students learn Latin and Mandarin. They learn Singapore Math, a method of teaching that builds conceptual understanding of math instead of memorization of rules. Children have music and art every

day, and every Friday the students present songs and recite “memory work” of what they are learning in front of the rest of the school. The school also offers after-school enrichment in choir, fencing, math club and has just started to flush out its athletic program as its student population has become older. The school now has cross country and basketball teams. What the children are learning is impressive: Fourth graders are reading the original text of “Beowulf.” “You think it would be too much and they would be taxed by it, but the wonderment comes first and then it makes the work less onerous because they’re so excited by it,” Yoder said. Yoder, new to the school since July, has noticed an excitement in his second and fourth grade children. At Thanksgiving, a second grade student addressed a room of adults and said a table blessing in Latin, completely unintimidated because performance is such a normal part of the student’s school day. When students arrive every morning, Kim or another staff member is there to greet them. The students shake hands and say “Good morning” as they pass through the door. “These are common courtesies that the modern era thinks are assumed,” Yoder said. “We forget that it needs to be taught to them. We teach it to them: Saying hello, shaking hands, boys open the doors for ladies. We’re trying to hold onto those traditions and bring them back.” To allow prospective parents to learn more about the school, Cambridge will host Open House events on Dec. 14 and Jan. 18. Open House visits are held during the school day. An “Info Night” is also scheduled for Jan. 24, with presentations from a parent, student, teacher and the head of school. To make a reservation or for more information on the school, visit www.cambridgeclassical.org.

Athenaeum Jazz at the Studio Matt Wilson's Christmas Tree-O Friday, December 7, 8:00pm NYC-based drummer Matt Wilson, joined by multireedist Jeff Lederer and bassist Paul Sikivie, returns in the lead of a stellar mainstream jazz trio that takes a swinging, high-spirited, and often humorous perspective on the beloved yet sometimes well-worn standards of the holiday season. Of his Christmas Tree-O, JazzTimes commented, "Wilson has a great sense of humor and invests even the most serious challenging music with a certain mischievous glee. This trio powers its way through tunes traditional ('Hark the Herald Angels Sing') and contemporary ('You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch'). This is, in short, serious fun and possibly the most creative holiday jazz album to come out this year."

Guests dine on the patio at Cafe Secret.

Psst, Have you heard? There’s something special about Cafe Secret BY KELLEY CARLSON t’s clear that Cafe Secret is becoming pretty well-known around the county. One of the most obvious indicators is that the Peruvian eatery is beginning to appear on “Best of” lists chosen by publications’ readers, particularly for its fresh and flavorful ceviches. And it’s also not unusual to find a packed patio (especially weekends) consisting of customers unwinding with cups of coffee while poring over the cafe’s magazines. Under red umbrellas and trellises of bougainvilleas and other foliage, they listen to the rhythms of world music and the bubbling fountain, and admire colorful textiles and scenic photographs of Peru and Del Mar that adorn the walls. Dogs, big and small, curl up next to their owners, and everyone seems as if they’re right at home. At night, the atmosphere of the streetside cafe shifts to romantic. The patio glows from candlelight and tall, triangular-shaped heaters, and the server’ attire is more refined … yet still relaxed. “We want everyone to feel as if they’re coming to dinner at our place,” said Daniella Basagoitia, who co-owns Cafe Secret with her husband, Bratzo. The Peruvian natives bring their sense of home to their menu, creating dishes from childhood recipes. Nearly everything is made from scratch, including the salsas and dressings, and they’re concocted from

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Cafe Secret’s Causa ingredients that people find familiar, despite the ethnic influences, Basagoitia said. Organic items are used whenever possible, and fresh seafood is brought in daily. Cafe Secret serves breakfast, lunch and dinner — from simple starters to filling entrees. For a light morning treat, guests may sip on a foamy cup of cappuccino and nibble on an Alfajor, a small, soft and delicate shortbread cookie filled with dulce de leche and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Other popular beverages during the first part of the day include mimosas and the orange juice, which is freshly squeezed by a Zummo machine before customers’ eyes. The restaurant’s newest breakfast item is the Benedicto, a variation of a traditional Eggs Benedict. It’s made with crunchy ciabatta, avocado, poached eggs, bacon and Huancaina sauce, a mixture of queso fresco

At lunchtime, offerings include the Quinoa Salad and Empanadas — pastry turnovers stuffed with savory ingredients like ground sirloin, onions and peppers; pulled roasted chicken and creamy aji sauce; and Swiss chard, spinach and queso fresco. Of course, there are also the ceviches, such as the Kin Lui, named for one of the chefs. The Kin Lui version contains either halibut or sea bass, depending on the season; octopus; avocado; hearts of palm

with lime juice; aji and rocoto (chili peppers); cilantro; sliced onion; choclo (Peruvian giant corn); yams; and conchita (Peruvian scallops). On the dinner menu, patrons will find selections including the Lomito Saltado, a stirfry featuring filet mignon, tomatoes, red onions, aji, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and yucas (rain forest roots) that is served with rice. To accompany the food selections, options include two Peruvian lager beers and a selection of wines from South America, Spain and California, along with a homemade sangria made with chicha, a Peruvian fruit punch. Among the handful of desserts available to cap off a meal are Tres Leches, a light cake soaked in sweet milks that is topped with strawberries and mint. Although everyone can order individual portions, Basagoitia recommends the familystyle approach to get a taste of as many of the 40 items as possible. “For being such a small cafe, we have everything,” she said. The restaurant also provides office deliveries in Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach, and supplies breakfast to guests at the neighboring Secret Garden Inn. With so many people becoming loyal customers, the Basagoitias know many of them by name. But even as Cafe Secret’s following grows, it’s still an intimate enclave. “It’s a little, secret place,” Daniella Basagoitia said. “For me, it’s very magical.”

San Diego Jewish Book Fair wraps up with bestselling family appearance Dec. 16 The 18th Annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair wraps up the largest Jewish Book Fair in the U.S. on Dec. 16 with a special “family of writers” appearance. Featuring the father, wife, and son dynamic trio, the “Kellerman Klatch” of writers comes to San Diego with their latest releases. This 7:30 p.m. event is open to the public. See the web site: http://www.sdcjc. org/sdjbf/index.aspx or call 858-362-1348. You know the famous name – Kellerman. Jonathan, the father, has written dozens of best-selling books, and created an unforgettable character in forensic psychologist Alex Delaware, who returns in “Victims.” His wife, Faye, is a bestselling author in her own right, penning the Decker/Lazarus series of mysteries — presenting “Gun Games” this year. And son Jesse Kellerman is following in his parents’ footsteps, having published four novels and a play before even reaching his early 30s! For 2012, he presents “Potboiler!” Meet the Kellerman family for a very special event as they discuss their latest books, and how their faith (they are practicing Orthodox Jews) often drives the themes within their work. The event will be held at the Jacobs Family Campus, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, Calif., 92037.

Magic Johnson to keynote free San Diego philanthropy event at Del Mar Fairgrounds The Jewish Federation of San Diego County will welcome more than 900 men to its 16th annual Men’s Event. The event is taking place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Earvin “Magic” Johnson will deliver the keynote speech, and the theme of the evening is “The Magic of Caring for Others.” In addition to Johnson’s remarks, the first and only Israeli gold medalist, Gal Fridman, will take part of this special evening and share how he cares for others in his own community. For the first time in the history of Men’s Event, attendance is free as the event has been fully and generously underwritten by the Mizel Family Foundation. The Jewish Federation has engaged four committed leaders in the community to co-chairs the event efforts — Ronnie Diamond, Ira Feinswog, Todd Kirschen and Alan Viterbi. The Jewish Federation is the vehicle for the Jewish community to care for others locally in San Diego, nationally, in Israel and around the world. In addition to encouraging participants to support the Jewish Federation’s efforts, the Federation has partnered with several local organizations to provide volunteer opportunities to the participants and spark the “Magic of Caring for Others” in the San Diego community.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

How to shop local with a small budget

and a big heart

By Claire Harlin

$22 Chocolates for charity Here’s two excuses to eat chocolate — It’s for a good cause, and it supports local business. Solana Beach’s Jerry Swain, owner of Jer’s Chocolates, has partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to offer a sweet Christmas deal. For each half-pound gift box sold for $22, he’s giving $5

$19

to help feed San Diego’s hungry. But the sweetest part of the deal is what’s inside the box, 11 pieces of Jer’s signature milk, ut dark and white chocolated-covered peanut butter truffles. For more information, visitt www.jers.com or stop by 437 S. Highway 101.

The gift of games ames

‘Wine’ not shop local?

Games are always a good gift, especially to take to a party. They bring together crowds, big or small, young or old. Catchphrase, Apples to Apples and Balderdash are good choices for entertaining crowds, and special editions of classics like Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit would complement anyone’s collection. But if you want to go for something different — and local — head up to Geppetto’s, either in the Del Mar Highlands or Flower Hill Promenade, and pick up a game by San Diego-based Wiggity Bang Games. Known for their awardwinning game, Quelf, the creators have launched the kidfriendly game, Magic Feather ($19.95), which is based off of their own neighborhood (South Park), and their party game, FURT ($29.95), is appropriate for teens and adults — OK, silly adults. In the Flower Hill mall, Pangea is also a go-to spot for party games, and The Madison Suite carries a variety of games for kids. For store contacts, visit www.flowerhill.com.

Art meets wellness

$40

Wine is always a well-received lastminute gift on the way to a holiday party, but even better is if it’s local. Instead of stopping by the grocery store, give a visit to Solana Beach’s very own local winery, Carruth Cellars, located at 320 S. Cedros Ave. Owner Adam Carruth has put together a gift package that includes a bottle of Surfing Madonna Bordeaux and a locally-crafted Sauvignon Blanc candle, the casing of which is made from an old wine bottle. With the bottle normally retailing at $40 and the candle at $15, Carruth is making this gift set extra special by pricing it at $40 for both items. And for each bottle sold, $3 goes to the Surfing Madonna Oceans Project, an ocean-awareness charity created by the wellknown Surfing Madonna mural artist. For more information, visit www.surfingmadonna.org or www.carruthcellars.com.

Janecka is definitely homegrown, but rather than call it a mom-and-pop shop, “mom-son-and-daughter shop” better describes the art and skincare boutique. Del Mar resident Elizabeth Janecka runs the shop, at 1555 Camino Del Mar, and her son and daughter, both art school grads, craft the pottery and all-natural products sold there. For the holidays, Janecka is offering a special on her best-selling cocoa butter bar. It looks like soap, it’s like lotion in a non-greasy, heart-shaped form. Appropriate for males or females, from infant to elderly, the product has been used for massage, daily moisture, anti-aging and treatment of stretch marks.

Photographer to speak at DM Art Center Dec. 16 on inspirational book

Ken Glaser, master photographer/MA communications, will speak and sign his inspirational book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elemental Journeys, Career Callings From Earth, Air, Fire, Waterâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday, Dec. 16, from 2-5 p.m. at the Del Mar Art Center (Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 112, Del Mar, 92014; 858-481-1678). Inside the book, luminous men and women with vital careers are photographed in classic black and white and intimately interviewed. Discover what drives them? What sustains them to go on in a simple, sincere way? How did they find their way? What obstacles did they overcome? Does what they did as kids relate to what they do now? Do they still have, in their chosen professions, the same childlike fascination and wonder? For more information on the book, visit www.elementaljourneys.com

like these guided tours, and through work with local governments and SANDAG, its goal is to reclaim local streets and blocks through improved streetscape designs, accessible walking paths, and traffic calming measures. For members of WalkSanDiego these guided tours are free. A $5 donation is suggested for non-members, although it is not mandatory.

Members receive a monthly newsletter and advance notice of upcoming tours. Schumacher, a volunteer, usually attracts about 20-30 walkers for his tours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a nice Saturday morning walk, â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Schumacher, â&#x20AC;&#x153;rain or shine.â&#x20AC;?

dren had attended the Crossnore School, a 100-year-old boarding school about an hour from the Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown. Originally for impoverished children of the surrounding mountain communities, it is now is home to a K-12 charter school for children in need. By donating through Allowance Manager and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 501(c)3 division, kids from all over the country were able to provide gifts for 102 foster children who reside at Crossnore including roller duffels, towels and blankets embroidered with

their names, MP3 players and video cameras and â&#x20AC;&#x153;other things that appeal to kids who live that life,â&#x20AC;? Meader said. For the Rancho Santa Fe family, who spent a week with the Fridays and the production crew, it was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing experience.â&#x20AC;? The boys got a lasting lesson that they share with viewers, the Friday family got a new home and 102 children got their own security blankets. See the Meader family on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extreme Makeover: Home Editionâ&#x20AC;? at 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 10 on KGTV.
