Del Mar council certifies civic center report, delays decision on permits BY KRISTINA HOUCK Plans for the city’s new civic center were delayed after the Del Mar City Council on Jan. 4 heard concerns from nearby neighbors and received a petition from some residents requesting the project be continued to a later date. “We’re trying to reach a good compromise, a good consensus,” said Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott. “We’re trying to be responsive to concerns, but still put a project together that’s going to be a really good, beneficial project for the community.” The proposed project, which would be located on the site of the city’s existing facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar, includes an 8,722-square-foot city hall and a 3,172-squarefoot town hall that would be connected by a 956-squarefoot breezeway with large pivotal doors. The town hall could accommodate 150 people or as many as 250 people using the breezeway as overflow space. Plans also include a 15,000-square-foot public plaza, 11,500 square feet of expandable space and up to 160 parking spaces in a surface lot and two-story underground structure. For months, architects from The Miller Hull Partnership updated their plans based on feedback from council and community members at several meetings and workshops. Although an early concept drew concerns from some residents that the project was inconsistent with the community character, many who have long been involved in the process praised the updated plans, which the council unanimously approved in November.

North Coast Corridor public hearing to be held Jan. 26 On Tuesday, Jan. 26, from 6-8 p.m., Caltrans and SANDAG will hold a public hearing at the Encinitas Community Center on the first proposed amendment to the North Coast Corridor Public Works Plan/Transportation and Resource Enhancement Program (PWP/TREP). The meeting will offer an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the draft amendment. The NCC PWP/TREP, unanimously approved by the California Coastal Commission in August 2014, is the regulatory document to implement the NCC Project, which spans 27 miles from La Jolla to Oceanside along the Interstate 5 and Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) rail corridors. SANDAG and the Caltrans developed the plan, the result of more than 10 years of collaboration and public input. The plan provides an implementation blueprint for a $6.5 billion program of rail, highway, environmental and coastal access improvements. The PWP/TREP has been revised since its initial release in 2010 to include additional coastal access elements such as the new 27-mile North Coast Bike Trail, refinement of a See HEARING, page 22

Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) is ringing in the New Year with STEAM+, a fresh approach to learning. The STEAM+ Premier Family Night will be held across all Del Mar Union school sites on Jan. 21. (Check individual schools for exact time.) This special event features STEAM+ credentialed specialists and teachers and invites parents and students to get an “insider’s experience” of integrated learning. Come explore, create, and have fun learning together on STEAM+ Family Night. STEAM+ teams at each site have prepared a host of different activities. Families can code a video game to share with others, build a Thaumatrope (a 19th century film-making gadget), construct a racetrack to test a car’s kinetic and potential energy, design and build a wind-powered boat, create a delivery system by making a vehicle that travels along an inclined string to deliver a payload to a target, and fashion electric circuits from play dough, batteries, wire, and LEDs. This event will allow children and adults to experiment, design, and experience the power of interactive learning! What do students have to say about STEAM+? “I think STEAM+ is amazing because it helps students learn extracurricular subjects, and it opens our minds to other topics and activities.” Brinda, 5th Grade “What I love about STEAM+ is that it lets you be creative, and you can learn different skills.” Esha 5th Grade “’STEAM+ is really fun! Every school should have it.’’ Carly 4th grade The Del Mar Schools STEAM+ program takes learning from now to WOW! Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics are the essential components of STEAM+ learning, together with a focus on Physical Education and other educational enhancements that puts the essential “+” into STEAM+. The STEAM+ approach to learning integrates traditional subject matter disciplines, allowing students open-ended opportunities to apply skills and knowledge they have acquired, or are still developing, to problem solving tasks related to real-world relevant experiences. Dynamic learning environments support strategic thinking, creativity and innovation, and build communication skills through collaboration. These practices prompt deep understanding and inspire a lifetime of inquiry. Every school in the Del Mar Union School District is fortunate to be able to provide a high-quality, vibrant STEAM+ instructional experience for students as a result of district financial commitment and community support through the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF).

8 keys to a happier life in 2016
DM Fairgrounds CEO inducted into WFA Hall of Fame
BY GLENN MOLLETTE The world in general can be a dim place. However, here are eight keys to making your life better as you begin a new year. Key 1: Learn new skills. Education and training are a part of life. Do not embrace the “I am stuck” mentality. You can teach old dogs new tricks. Education does not necessarily mean college, although it may. There are many trades you can learn today via self-study. Community college and vocational schools also offer a lot of learning opportunities you can complete in less than a year. Keep learning. Join a class. Take a club. Buy season tickets to the theater or symphony. Key 2: Live healthy. A long life is never guaranteed no matter what we do. We can at least do our part by not being stupid. Daily activity and cutting back on food portions are important. Eliminate smoking and drink only in moderation. Halloween through New Year’s is a big health mess up period for many. So now is the time to beware. Key 3: Save money. This is very difficult to do if you are living on a meager income. Even putting a few dollars away each week or month might save you when an emergency arises. Having a little money on hand to pay cash for something instead of using credit will be a relief. If you’re in fine financial shape, start an account for your children or grandchildren. Key 4: Live enjoyably. Allow yourself to do something every day that you can really get into. This may be simply reading, listening to music or could be a myriad of hobbies. Enjoy your life. Key 5: Have a plan. Work toward something. Have something to look forward to. Involve your mind in a project or projects that keep you focused each day on moving forward toward accomplishing something. This could be as easy as cleaning out the garage or making a quilt. Have something you are doing today and tomorrow. Key 6: Stay bright on the inside. Don’t be negative or bitter about life. Allow yourself to laugh. Enjoy some humor along the way. Key 7: Find real relationships. You need a friend or two. Close relationships —whether with family or friends — give us real people to share life with. You probably aren’t go-
• The Western Fairs Association recognizes San Diego County Fair with 32 awards The 22nd District Agricultural Association General Manager and CEO, Timothy J. Fennell was inducted into the Western Fairs Association (WFA) Hall of Fame during the awards celebration at the WFA Convention and Trade Show held Jan. 3-6 in Anaheim, Calif. The prestigious award is presented annually to individuals whose dedicated efforts have enriched the tradition of fairs and encouraged the professionalism of the industry. WFA is a non-profit trade association serving the Fair industry in the Western United States and Canada “I am humbled and honored to have received this very special award and to join the ranks of the esteemed list of WFA Hall of Fame inductees. Being a part of the Fair industry is not a job, it’s a way of life for all who are involved. Like a family, we help and support each other, all the while staying true to ourselves and for me, staying true to the Mission Statement of the 22nd District Agricultural Association,” Fennell said. “Historically the San Diego County Fair has been a leader in the fair industry and an integral part of San Diego County by supporting local commerce and employing up to 1,900 during the San Diego County Fair season. Agriculture and educational activities such as 4-H, FFA, Grange and other youth development programs are always at the forefront as we are constantly working to keep agriculture thriving for future generations. I am proud to be a part of a creative team dedicated to producing world class events at this historical landmark known as
Glenn Mollette ing to find these on social media. But be careful of too many pals because a person of too many friends will soon come to ruin. Key 8: Always vote. Sounds out of place in this column but it’s a major factor in bringing about community and societal change, which impacts your life greatly. There is never one silver bullet for making our lives happy. We can’t depend on the government or other people to make us happy. We have to take responsibility for ourselves and do the best we can with the lives we have been handed. — Glenn Mollette, Ph.D. is a syndicated columnist and the author of 11 books.

Longtime Del Mar resident a fixture at festive Penguin Plunge BY PAM KRAGEN, SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, SOLANA BEACH SUN, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS Thirty years ago, the very first Penguin Plunge at Del Mar Beach drew just a handful of hearty swimmers for a brisk morning dip in honor of New Year’s Day. Among those Penguin pioneers in 1986 was Tensia Moriel Trejo, who returned to take the plunge again Jan. 1, 2016 for her 29th time. “I tease people that I go to get my water blessing at the start of the year,” said Trejo, a Del Mar native who celebrated her 88th birthday in September. “Coming here is part of my life. I’ve been hitting the water here from a very young age.” Hosted each year by the Del Mar Lifeguard Association, the Penguin Plunge has grown in popularity every year. Although just eight to 10 people showed up that first year— Trejo said most of the plungers in ’86 were the lifeguards themselves — the event has mushroomed. “It was always intended as a way to bring the community together and over the years it has become a tradition that more people celebrate each year,” said Pat Vergne, Del Mar’s chief lifeguard and community services director. Wet suits aren’t allowed at the plunge, but swimmers who survive the brief foray in the chilly water can warm up afterward with free coffee or cocoa and a doughnut from Cardiff’s VG Donut & Bakery. They also receive a free certificate of completion. Trejo walks to the beach for the plunge from her longtime home about three blocks away. Because of her longevity in Del Mar and the Penguin Plunge, the lifeguards treat Trejo like a celebrity. Rather than make her wait in long lines for her certificate and doughnut, the volunteers bring the goodies to her. “I like the big glazed doughnuts,” she said. “I usually eat very healthy but once a year I break my no-sweets rule for that and I don’t feel guilty about it.” Vergne said Trejo is a treasured member of the Del Mar community and the staff is always amazed by her energy and positivity. “She’s an absolute firecracker,” he said. “She’s very nice and wonderful and every year it’s so good to see her out here again.” Trejo said the first time she visited Del Mar beach was when she was 9 months old. A family friend was
Tensia Trejo and Judy Zamora at the 2016 Penguin Plunge. Photo by Jon Clark (See more photos on pages B8-B9.) supposed to be babysitting her and her brothers, but he neglected his duties and her parents later found her crawling through the surf, waterlogged but unharmed. Trejo’s parents, Miguel and Blasa Moriel, moved to Del Mar in August 1919, just three months after the Barstow couple discovered the city on a brief visit and vowed to return as quickly as possible. Miguel had been a Mexican military officer in Chihuahua, but he fled to the U.S. during the Mexican Revolution. In Del Mar, he found work in construction and he and Blasa raised four sons and three daughters. Tensia, short for Hortensia, was the sixth of their seven children. “People always ask me what Del Mar was like in those days. I tell them it was a friendly, family-oriented town and a fun party town with a lot of tourists who were always welcome because they brought a lot of money into the town,” she said. A self-professed tomboy, Trejo said she loved riding a raft with her brother on the San Dieguito River, and she
and her siblings body-surfed every day in the waves off Del Mar and Solana Beach. As a young girl, she remembers seeing — and ignoring — signs posted on the pier and public pool that forbid entry to ethnic minorities. In the late 1920s, her parents were told that Mexican and Jewish families could not buy a home in central Del Mar (an unwritten rule that persisted until the late 1930s) so she spent her teen years in Solana Beach. When she agreed to marry Carlsbad native Jenary Trejo in 1947, it was on one condition. “I told him I’d marry him if he would build me a house in Del Mar,” she said. “Nobody keeps me away from where I was born.” Jenary Trejo was a master plumber who volunteered his time as a high school athletic director, CIF official and sports umpire. Tensia raised their two sons, Gerry and Jeff, and for many years ran an income tax business for elderly clients. Two days after their 60th anniversary in 2007, Jenary suffered a fatal heart attack. He was 82. Trejo attributes her own longevity to a healthy diet, exercise and a love for the outdoors. In her 50s, she started running. She finished a half-marathon and ran numerous 10K races. But after a knee injury, she switched to walking. In 2002, at the age of 75, she logged 60 miles in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day charity walk. She doesn’t remember how she heard about the first Penguin Plunge three decades ago, but she thought it sounded like a good way to welcome the new year and see old friends. “I remember that there were very few people, but it was fun and I went back every year,” she said. “After a couple years it grew to 30 people, then maybe 50 people for quite a few years. Then all of a sudden it really took off.” The only year she missed the plunge was in 2006, when her husband was very ill and she chose to spend the day by his bedside. A few years after the Penguin Plunge started, the Lifeguard Association began issuing certificates of completion to participants. A dedicated historian, Trejo said she keeps all of her certificates in a special binder. Trejo said she always looks forward to the event and finds the chilly New Year’s dip refreshing. “I don’t mind the cold. It’s fun,” she said. “I love being outdoors and the beach is beautiful.”

Local grandmothers give hope with annual City of Hope fundraiser BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the New Year only a week old, a group of grandmothers already know what they want to accomplish in 2016. Having already walked hundreds of miles to raise funds for the City of Hope, they hope to grow their local event to raise even more money for cancer research and treatment in the coming year. The fifth annual San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk isn’t slated until September, but the organizers, who are all grandmothers, are encouraging people to train early for the 40-mile event. Training walks are usually held every Saturday beginning in June, with walks scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays as the event becomes closer. “By me getting ready to do this and getting people to support me, I feel like I’m doing something,” said Marybeth Brown, who serves as training walk leader. “It’s such an uplifting experience. You feel like you’re making a difference.” Many of the women who helped launch the walk four years ago used to walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. Disappointed with how the funds were being used, however, they decided to create a local event that would support research and treatment for a variety of cancers. Local resident Gail King, who is a grandmother of two, pitched an idea for a two day, 40-mile walk in San Diego County that would benefit the City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading centers for cancer treatment and research. With many volunteer hours and support, the first ever San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk was held in 2012. “We all liked the idea,” said Brown, whose father and grandmother had colon cancer. “We hit the ground going,” added King. She and the other organizers are now known as “Grandmothers 4 Hope.” The 2015 San Diego Together4Hope 2-Day Walk was held the last weekend of September.

Courtesy photo On the first day, participants walked around De Anza Cove in Mission Bay, where a 5K walk/run and standup paddleboard course were also held in the morning. On the second day, participants walked from Moonlight Beach in Encinitas to Magee Park in Carlsbad and then back to Moonlight Beach. “It means something to us to get out and share the stories as we’re walking and as we’re training,” King said. “For the people in our lives that have been affected, we are moving forward and reaching out to physically, actively do something in their honor. That is what motivates us to do what we do.”
A total of 17 people participated in this year’s event. Each participant raised a minimum of $1,000 by walking 40 miles over the course of two days across San Diego County. Altogether the event raised $32,000 for the City of Hope, which is located in Duarte, northeast of Los Angeles. Over the past four years, they have raised more than $160,000 to combat cancer. “We have some great hospitals here in San Diego, but the fact that we have a cancer research hospital so close and it’s known nationally is pretty cool,” Brown said. Planning for next year’s event will begin this month. To help with planning or learn about other volunteer opportunities, contact King through the event website at together4hope.org.

Interest in birds takes off at lagoon: San Elijo nature center draws a curious crowd to monthly family fun day BY CHRISTINE HUARD, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS/DM TIMES/SB SUN Much like the birds they were there to see, recent visitors to the San Elijo Lagoon were a mix of winter dwellers and year-round inhabitants. Judy Hanna, an anthropologist who studies and writes about dance, had come from Bethesda, Md., to visit family. She and her young grandson, Sagan, walked to the preserve from his nearby home so “Nana” could get some exercise and he could spot ducks. “I do know some kinds of birds,” said the 5-year-old, who was named in honor of the late astronomer Carl Sagan. “If there’s a duck in the pond, I know if it’s a boy or a girl.” The youngster was quick and matter-of-fact in correcting himself. “Male or female,” he said. “The males are more colorful.” With more than 300 species of birds coming through the 1,000-acre ecological reserve each year, even the most novice bird watchers are able to recognize dozens of birds they’ve seen in their backyards and at the beach. Though winter brings an abundance of migratory birds, some 100 birds species can be seen at the lagoon during any given season, from sparrows and hummingbirds to sandpipers and egrets. A recent low tide made for particularly good viewing of a variety of ducks and grebes resting on the exposed mud flats and fishing in calm waters. San Elijo is home to two kinds of duck all year — the mallard and the gadwall — and at least a dozen other types fly in for the winter months. The lagoon’s nature center recently hosted a once-a-month family fun day when children learn about the difference between ducks and grebes and put together a craft that helps them identify the birds at water’s edge. Park Ranger Michelle Levesque even sang a song to the tune of the Anna Kendrick’s hit “Cups” that explained how birds in the Pacific migration come to the lagoon from as far away as Canada and Chile. The Mok family of Carmel Valley — Ken and Melody, and children Monica, 9, and Marcus, 7 — were enjoying the brisk weather while putting their newfound duck knowledge to work. The children were taking notes about the kinds they recognized in the duck-shaped pamphlets they colored and decorated at the nature center before coming down to the trail. “The mallard has a yellow beak and green head,” Monica said. “The wigeon has a blue beak.” To the untrained eye, ducks and grebes can look much the same. But along the lines of an old saying, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s most likely a duck. The grebe’s legs, set too far back on its body to make walking possible, are useless on land, though excellent for swimming. And the only bird with a true “quack” is the mallard duck. Another way to tell them apart is that ducks are dabbling birds, which means they tip
forward in the water to feed on the fish, crustaceans, worm-like creatures and algae that live beneath the surface of the lagoon, and grebes are diving birds. They swim below the water to catch their meals. The lagoon and nature center are operated collaboratively through a jointpowers agreement of the state, San Diego County and the nonprofit San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. It will officially celebrate the winter bird migration later this month with its Wings Over Wetlands event featuring family-friendly activities and naturalists with scopes and binoculars for bird viewing. All programs are free, and the nature center has binoculars and field guides to borrow. Wings Over Wetlands will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Jan. 23-24. The reserve is off Manchester Avenue, west of Interstate 5.

For local author Tasha Bock, felines and feminism collide BY ROB LEDONNE Last Christmas, Tasha Bock was trying to think of a gift to give to her sister Quincy when she came up with the perfect idea. “We make fun of my sister for being a crazy cat lady,” laughs Bock. “She also taught me about the meaning of feminism. People think of it as a loaded and controversial term, but it’s really about women being seen as equals.” When Quincy received the book, it was then passed around and Bock was given encouraging words by family and friends. “They were saying to me, ‘We don’t think we’re being biased, but you should pursue expanding this.” Not wanting to sit on the project, Bock listened to the advice and did just that, penning the book “Feminist Felines,” which she pegs as a “must-have for equal-rights advocates, cat lovers, and pun aficionados, both young and old.” “This has been a fun, ongoing project,” explains Bock, who recently graduated from Dartmouth College where she studied history and studio art after attending La Jolla’s The Bishop’s School. “I think the topic will become more pertinent as time goes on. It’s definitely been in the media a lot with more and more celebrities coming forward saying that they’re a feminist, from Malala to Emma Watson.” “Feminist Felines” is designed to deliver what’s otherwise a heavy topic in a fun and light way while focusing on the exploits of two cats, Tinker and Mischief. “The power of these kind of stories is that they can take complex topics and condense them down into a digestible or understandable examples,” Bock explains. “My goal was to outline and explain what these social issues are.” The book has been an encompassing project for Bock since returning to North County from college this past May. After laying out the design this past summer, the proofs were then sent to Chicago for printing. Then, the marketing and distributing part of the project kicked in with Bock doing it all herself. “There’s been a learning curve,” the budding author says of the process. “But it’s been going pretty well. We’ve been getting multiple online orders a day, and it’s being sold at some local bookstores.” (Those shops include Country Squire Gifts & Linens in Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla’s Hi Sweetheart. The book is also available on Amazon.com). Based on the book’s success, Bock is planning to spin the idea off into other stories that tackle heavy topics in a breezy way. “The next one is based around our dog who is very precocious,” Bock explains. “It’s about a dog surfing competition, but it’ll really be an anti-racism and discrimination story.” And what does Tasha’s sister Quincy think now that her Christmas present has taken on a life of its own by immortalizing her two cats? “She’s been sending me photos to use on social media,” says Bock. “She likes to say she owns the original because I gave it to her. She’s excited.” For more on Bock and her book, visit www.feministfelines.com.

Therapy dogs spread holiday cheer to local children, seniors Therapy dogs recently helped spread holiday cheer to local children and seniors. Volunteers from the San Diego Central Chapter of Love on a Leash collected more than 100 used books, which were wrapped and distributed to children who read to one of the six therapy dogs at the Solana Beach Library. Santa Claus also made an appearance to make the Dec. 8 event extra special. A few weeks later, Love on a Leash volunteers brought 16 dogs and hundreds of gifts to LifeHOUSE San Diego Healthcare Center on Dec. 22. The local chapter, which is headed by Sue Subkow, the group’s founder and president, has visited the residential facility twice a month for five years. Last year the volunteer group gathered 150 gifts in just four days after discovering that many of the roughly 300 residents do not have family or have family who live out of town. This year the group started early to make the holiday season even more special. Headed by Solana Beach resident Janet Mason

Kinnon, volunteers from the San Diego Central Chapter of Love on a Leash collected donations, gathered clothing and sewed blankets. For two weeks, friends and neighbors helped wrap 700 presents at Mason Kinnon’s house before transporting the packages to LifeHOUSE San Diego Healthcare Center. “It really was a community activity, so much so, that folk who are only just hearing about it are asking if they can get involved next year if we do something similar,” Mason Kinnon said. Love on a Leash is a nonprofit dedicated to providing animal assisted therapy. The organization started in the 1980s and was incorporated in 1995. As of 2015, there are more than 2,000 members working as Love on a Leash therapy teams with their dog, cat or rabbit. There are three chapters in San Diego County. The San Diego Central Chapter was founded in 2011. For more about the local chapter, visit www.facebook.com/LoveOnALeashSanDiegoCentralChapter.

Upcoming conference to teach consumers about nutrition as preventive medicine BY ROBERT BONAKDAR, M.D. At meal time, Americans should fill half of their plates with fruits and vegetables, according to the latest federal dietary guidelines. But looking at the eating habits in the United States today, most people appear to need a major menu change. Research shows that as many as 87 percent of Americans don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, widely regarded as the twin pillars of a nutritious diet. Failing to consume the right balance of nutrients can lead to severe health consequences. For example, nearly half of all Americans don’t get enough magnesium. Low magnesium has been linked to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation, heart disease, migraines and colon cancer. There are also widespread deficiencies in vitamins D and B12 and other important nutrients. Each one of these carries its own health risks. Part of the solution lies with education. Not just public service announcements and the occasional news article, but rather a comprehensive understanding of how nutrition – good or bad – affects personal health. Towards that end, the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine will host its 13th annual Natural Supplements Conference in San Diego Jan. 27 to Jan. 31. As part of this continuing medical education conference, consumers are invited to hear presentations by two internationally recognized leaders in integrative medicine, whose work has demonstrated how good nutritional choices can be the best preventive medicine. Food as medicine public presentation on Jan. 28 Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., is the author of several National Geographic health and wellness books. She advocates for “nutritional sanity,� which can be equated to eating enough fresh produce. However, meal planning often is only the beginning of the conversation. Many people have trouble getting enough nutrition, even when they eat well. Sometimes a health condition, or a medication, can reduce the ability to absorb certain nutrients. For example, patients taking protein pump inhibitors to reduce acid reflux, or metformin for type 2 diabetes, may be deficient in magnesium and vitamin B-12, respectively. This highlights how nutritional needs are unique to each individual. At her Jan. 28 presentation, Dr. Low Dog will offer a number of strategies to help people navigate the often confusing world of nutritional supplements and find the right ones to meet their personal needs. Stomach and brain public presentation on Jan. 29 Dr. Perlmutter is probably best known for his best-selling book “Grain Brain� and has recently introduced his latest best-seller, “Brain Maker,� which examines how diet affects our minds, particularly as we age. There’s a great deal of “cross talk� between stomach and brain, and new evidence suggests gut health is critical to brain health. Dr. Perlmutter recommends controlling blood sugar, consuming an anti-inflammatory diet and nurturing gut bacteria with probiotics and prebiotics. These steps can support the gastrointestinal system and may help preserve a healthy mind. At his Jan. 29 presentation, Dr. Perlmutter will explore the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, and how diet and lifestyle can help people preserve brain power later in life. The presentations by Dr. Low Dog and Dr. Perlmutter are both open to the public and each will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Robert Bonakdar, M.D. The events will be held at the Paradise Point Resort on Mission Bay, located at 1404 Vacation Road, San Diego 92109. Admission is $35 per person for each event. For more information or to register for any of these events, call 858-652-5400, email med.edu@scripps.org, or visit www.scripps.org/naturalsupplements. Team effort between patient and physician Improving the nation’s nutrition profile requires a two-pronged approach. First, clinicians need to be more aware of common deficiencies and have plans to deal with them. And second, it’s critically important that patients be their own advocates. Physicians simply cannot do it all alone. Patients need to take a little extra time to understand their nutritional needs – and to maintain an ongoing conversation with their doctors. By having an open, honest dialogue, physicians and patients can develop individualized plans that optimize proper nutrition and boost overall health. Robert Bonakdar, M.D., specializes in integrative medicine with Scripps Health. “To Your Health� is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

‘Epic’ obstacle course set for Jan. 16 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds A truly “epic” event is happening Jan. 16 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. EPIC Series is coming to Del Mar, with an obstacle race featuring more than 30 challenges that are fully scalable for all fitness levels. Slated as the “first ever functional fitness obstacle course,” the EPIC Series course is designed using the principles of boot camp, crosstraining, Strongman and endurance competitions. A relatively new company, to date, EPIC Series has held seven races in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. The Jan. 16 event will be the first that’s taken place at the fairgrounds. Participants can race individually or with a team. Advanced racers may also compete in the optional Elite course, which is separate from the All Levels course and contains eight to 10 functional strength challenges. Split into strength and endurance divisions, Elite Strength features heavier weight challenges, but with less reps to complete. Elite Endurance features lighter weight challenges, but with more reps to complete. Both divisions have male and female standards. Registration opens at 7 a.m. with the advanced obstacles from 8-9 a.m. All Levels heats are set for from 9 a.m. to noon. Kids course heats will take place 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The All Levels course costs $60, the course plus the advanced obstacles cost $90, and the kids course is free for children ages 7 to 12. A free EPIC Experience course will also be available to the public from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. so people interested can try the obstacles at their own pace.

Sharks GU12 All-Stars win third straight Championship The Sharks Girls U12 All-Stars won their third Championship in as many tournaments. The young ladies prevailed in the Escondido New Year’s Kickoff in a nail-biting, stomach churning final over Carlsbad, tied at 1-1 in regular time and decided by seven penalty kicks. Lindsay Lee kicked the 7th penalty kick high to the right side of the goal to put the Sharks ahead. Then, Goalie Helen Blackstone-Gardner dove to the left to tip Carlsbad’s kick into the post to secure the victory. “This team gave everything they had to pull out the win,” said Coach Chris Chan. “This is very special team, playing together to beat the toughest competition we’ve seen.” Parents and coaches beamed with pride as the team emerged the champions. The victory marks the Sharks’ third straight win, having triumphed in the La Jolla and Mesa Tournaments in December. They gave up only 2 goals throughout the tournament and scored six, beating Oceanside, Temecula and Carlsbad.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
One Paseo is not a done deal Next Wednesday, Jan. 13, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board will be holding a Special Meeting to decide its recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council on the proposed New One Paseo development. This expanded meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral Catholic High School auditorium for the express purpose of hearing and incorporating final community concerns in that recommendation. It’s important to re-emphasize that neither the Settlement Agreement reached between the developer and litigating community groups, nor subsequent input from the working group of community and Planning Board members have resulted in a “pre-approved” project. To the contrary, the Agreement served largely to send the project back to the community for a re-boot culminating in this very meeting, with neither the community nor its Planning Board bound to any size or shape of project. Bottom line: while the Agreement terms, working group efforts and community workshops have accomplished much in terms of traffic reduction and project design, many participants in these efforts still have reservations on significant aspects of the revised proposal. Our Planning Board is expanding this decision-making meeting to hear them and all other opinions about what they should recommend, and even if favorable, and any requirements or conditions that recommendation should include. This last part is extremely important. If after reviewing the project plans on the OnePaseo.com website (download the 9/24 presentation) you still have concerns: if you think at 1.2 million square feet it or any of its components (for example residential units at 100 per acre) are still too dense, or that even with proposed mitigations the reduced traffic will still be excessive and impede fire or emergency service, or that more specific commitments are needed on the extent of or timing for implementing synchronized signalization and shuttle commitments, or have any other specific project concerns, you should attend the meeting and express them to the Planning Board to be addressed in their recommendation. Our community successfully campaigned the City Council to rescind its ill-considered original project approval, and many of you have taken advantage of subsequent opportunities to provide the project input every community is entitled to. This expanded Planning Board meeting is our final and most important step in assuring the size and shape of the revised One Paseo project are a fit for our community, and that its impacts are as manageable as possible. See you there! Robert Freund, What Price Main Street Carmel Valley Resident

Lots of seniors but none to spare The 2010 Census indicated that Torrey Pines had a senior population that is 30 percent greater than the average for the City of San Diego. Seniors can have more life-threatening health issues such as heart attack, stroke, and other catastrophic health events that require prompt and speedy emergency response. Our medical lifeline is Fire Station 24, east of I-5. According to Kilroy, the Synchronized Traffic Signals planned for Del Mar Heights Road were not included in the One Paseo project to improve response times for emergency vehicles. The Environmental document (FEIR) approved by the City Council did not conclude that the One Paseo project would result in significant increase in response time or operate below a current standard of service in the City of San Diego. This traffic system was excluded from the draft environmental document and is now called a Community Enhancement. An Enhancement carries no liability for the City if it fails. The plain truth is that emergency response times to Torrey Pines may be no worse than the rest of San Diego but we are more likely to need fast life-saving help! It is cold comfort to know that the City Council realizes that the City is short 17 fire stations and, until something is done, response times will remain poor throughout the City. Kilroy provided the City Council with a Traffic Operational Analysis from Stack Traffic Consultants. The analysis shows existing conditions plus One Paseo on Del Mar Heights Rd. from Mango Dr. to Carmel Canyon Rd. in AM/PM peak times. This analysis does not address the real issue which is peak PM travel from Station 24, west to Mango across the Del Mar Heights Bridge. The City’s Traffic Signal Communications Master Plan, December 2014, indicates that $163.8 million needs to be spent to improve the current signalization system at 19 locations, including Del Mar Heights Rd. Currently, the City is only budgeting $100,000 to address the system-wide deficiencies. — yet alone address the elephant in the room, of a massive and expensive upgrade. Torrey Pines residents’ lives are being held hostage to corporate greed and ineffective City management of its resources. Please let the Mayor’s office and Council President Lightner know that we support the Fast Response Squad that has shown a 50 percent reduction in response time elsewhere in the City and County. Implement a short-term program to place an emergency vehicle west of I-5 until Kilroy’s Enhancement actually reduces response time as it was originally envisioned. Senior Lives Matter!

Del Mar roundabout hits stop sign Residents are more concerned about traffic mitigation than the proposed Del Mar roundabout. Deadline is Friday, Jan. 15, 2016 to submit letters of concern/objection. City government will listen but only if residents speak. Fill your letters with questions and concerns about any/all possible negative environmental impacts relevant to this proposed roundabout. This single lane roundabout, designed to significantly slow down traffic, will have the unintended consequence of exasperating an intolerable summer traffic jammed area into an irreparable gridlock area. Our city would be better served mitigating traffic at this intersection instead of spending taxpayer dollars trying to approve a roundabout. Fortunately, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires proposed projects be analyzed with specificity for both direct and cumulative impacts. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) published, does not meet CEQA requirements. Certain direct and cumulative impacts were not considered. Particularly, no direct impacts from the Watermark project, as formally submitted to City have been presented in the DEIR. No impacts concerning the Del Mar Fairgrounds Master Plan have been considered. Nor have the cumulative impacts been studied/exposed and entered as objective information to be considered into the DEIR, as required under CEQA law. Therefore, this proposed roundabout is without a valid mandated EIR. The roundabout process needs be stopped. Furthermore, EIR as documented in the DEIR submitted to Del Mar exclaimed, “Watermark project itself was not quantitatively analyzed because of the low anticipated contribution and no approved information regarding the project.” The EIR is wrong, there is approved information submitted to Del Mar, which needs be considered. The Fairgrounds Master Plan forecasts huge increases in attendance, scheduling construction of a parking structure, rebuilding pavilions with additional underground parking, etc. Credible evidence of reasonable and foreseeable traffic impacts which need be part of an acceptable EIR study. EIR as submitted seems more an advocacy for roundabout than objective analysis revealing all relevant impacts. But let’s not get caught up in this baffling EIR, let’s be reasonable; Bicycle friendly — Why not bike lanes vs. roundabout? Speed problem — What data proves that? What data supports omission of alternatives; lower speed limit signs, ticketing speeders, digital speed signs? Pedestrian friendly – Overpass walkways and crosswalk lights ever considered/studied vs. roundabout? While writing your letters, please include all your thoughts, everything; disrupted travel through north Del Mar during summer, beach community wonderland easy place to visit, all traffic issues affecting flow, safety, your city, neighborhood, gridlock, etc., Watermark gated entry only four car lengths from intersection, potential back up into roundabout from 48 families traveling from and into this corner lot housing complex. Fairgrounds Master Plan, etc. Submit letters before Friday, Jan. 15, 2016 – TO: publicworks@delmar.ca.us Respectfully, Arnold Wiesel, President Stay connected: delmarhillside@yahoo.com
R.I.P. Ralph Peck On Dec. 16, 2015, one of this town’s most vocal supporters passed away after a year-long struggle with a brain tumor. No longer will we be enjoying his submissions to this newspaper and city hall commenting on our city’s discretionary disregard for codes and laws. Ralph was always asking questions; being an involved citizen right to the very end. As the coastal towns around us move forward and thrive, our City is crumbling in apathy and suffocating with lost income as a result of restrictive commercial regulations — and Ralph was always asking “Why?” The Pecks are wonderful neighbors who delighted in sharing coffee, and their yard for dogs, daily. At 88 years old, Ralph was still a “character” in this community — and we will miss him dearly. Kindly submitted, Don and Kathy Ellis

Opinion: Education Matters: Transparency is lost in the San Dieguito teachers’ contract BY MARSHA SUTTON As predicted, after San Dieguito Union High School District supt. Rick Schmitt postponed the vote for a week to give the public extra time to review the new teacher contract, his effort was undermined by the San Dieguito Faculty Association. Led by union president Bob Croft, the SDFA delayed its vote to approve the contract, also for one week. Because the district refused to permit the public to see the tentative agreement until the union had voted to approve it – and because the union did not give its final approval until the night before the (rescheduled) Dec. 17 board vote – the public had less than 24 hours to see the contract. So the delay on the vote was pointless. And, as expected, the contract was approved Dec. 17 by a vote of 3-2. California Government Code section 3547 states that “meeting and negotiating shall not take place on any proposal until a reasonable time has elapsed after the submission of the proposal to enable the public to become informed, and the public has the opportunity to express itself regarding the proposal at a meeting of the public school employer.” No reasonable person can credibly argue that the district gave the public sufficient time to review the complicated contract, when it was posted at 9 p.m. ahead of a 4 p.m. board meeting the very next day. I asked Croft why he delayed the SDFA vote. Doing so makes it appear there’s something to hide. Croft offered this justification: “With the district deciding on the delay – not SDFA – why wouldn’t SDFA then want to take advantage of that opportunity to ensure our membership had additional time to submit their ballots?” He added that the union’s delay “is simply SDFA working to meet the needs of our members.” The only thing transparent about this process is the excuse that SDFA members needed additional time to review their contract. What’s not to like? The 2015-2018 contract provides: •A 7-percent raise retroactive to July 1, 2015, for the 2015-2016 school year •A 5.5-percent raise for 2016-2017 •An increase in salary of $1,000 to all teachers for the English Learner credential •A shift into salary of about $11,000 from a health care flex spending account •Language that states the district’s teachers must be the highest paid in the
Marsha Sutton county Croft signed the agreement on behalf of SDFA, and in an SDFA bulletin, sent to all SDUHSD teachers, he crowed about the agreement: “This is the LARGEST two-year raise in all of San Diego County! With this increase, our members are easily the #1 paid in San Diego County, using every comparable category!” [bold, caps, underlines and exclamation points reproduced directly from Croft’s bulletin] In a story in this newspaper published last month, Schmitt said delaying the vote for one week did indeed give the public adequate time for review. In an interview last week, Schmitt said the only legal requirement was to disclose the tentative collective bargaining agreement under the provisions of Assembly Bill 1200. AB 1200 requires districts to make public the major provisions of the proposed agreement. This includes a cost analysis and fiscal impact on the operating budget. Schmitt says the district fulfilled this requirement by posting the disclosure in the board’s agenda packet on Dec. 4. He is making a distinction between the fiscal impacts of the contract (disclosed Dec. 4) and the actual contract (not made public until Dec. 16). It’s fine to get the district’s perspective on the financial ramifications of the contract, but people should be allowed to see the full contract for themselves rather than take the word of a government agency on what’s important for the public to know. The bargain Both the district and the union (Schmitt and Croft) tout how they achieved this agreement through a cooperative process called interest-based bargaining, rather than the adversarial process some other districts use. “Our new contractual agreement provides the financial security, health benefits, and contractual language stability that our members deserve, and which was achieved without engaging in the adversarial negotiations and counterproductive conflict seen in
so many districts,” Croft said. “The agreement was reached through productive interest-based and collaborative negotiations,” reads the district’s board report. Because all employees in the district will receive the same raises and benefits that the union negotiated for its teachers, the district and the union would seem to be on the same side of the table, so collaboration would not appear to be a problem. Representing the district during negotiations were Schmitt and associate superintendents Torrie Norton and Jason Viloria (all of whom benefit from the contract) – and Bob Croft and Adrienne St. George for the faculty association. It’s reasonable to ask who was negotiating for the taxpayer. “The school district negotiates for the taxpayer and the community, period,” Schmitt said. “That’s what we do. We’re always looking to get what we think is the best value for the community at the right price.” Schmitt mentioned the millions of dollars the district spends on textbooks, bond contracts and facilities improvements, as examples. “I, we, represent the taxpayers in every negotiation we do, whatever the category,” he said. He said the agreement “provides budget stability,” adding that the community “has supported our employees over the years.” He said the district has a history of being fiscally conservative, and that there is money to pay for these raises well into the future, based on healthy reserves, conservative assumptions and realistically rosy projections. Since the deal seems to benefit the teachers overwhelmingly, I was curious to know what the district may have
asked for that the union gave up. In other words, what was bargained? Schmitt would not reveal what SDFA and the district discussed in closed negotiations. Qualified to serve A letter to this newspaper published last month from a San Dieguito teacher was critical of my view (and trustee John Salazar’s) that the vote should be delayed to allow the contract to sunshine. “Sutton has been writing about education for 14 years yet she holds no degrees in education,” he wrote. “Salazar does not come from an education background either other than his B.S. degree in political science.” Is it the belief of teachers that school board members are not qualified to be trustees unless they hold degrees in education? Besides being an outlandish suggestion, if that’s the case, then four of the five SDUHSD trustees are not qualified to serve, including two of the three who voted to approve the new contract. Salazar holds a B.S. in Business, Mo Muir holds a B.A. in political science, Amy Herman has a B.S. in organizational communications, and Beth Hergesheimer’s B.S. is in business administration. Only Joyce Dalessandro has an educational degree. She has a B.A. in child development and psychology and a Masters in education and curriculum development. By this faulty logic, Herman and Hergesheimer are also not qualified to serve as trustees. Incidentally, very few education writers hold degrees in education. I plead guilty. My B.A. is in philosophy from UCLA. Good times After the board’s 3-2 vote in favor of the contract, the See CONTRACT, page 22
Opinion: Reflecting on 2015, planning for 2016 BY DAVE ROBERTS, COUNTY SUPERVISOR As 2015 draws to a close, I am reflecting upon many great accomplishments while laying plans for even more successes in 2016. This year began with arrivals and departures on my staff and has ended with a fantastic team in place. It is an absolute pleasure to work with such dedicated professionals to serve nearly 650,000 residents in the Third District. To meet the needs of 3.2 million residents in San Diego County, we work closely with my colleagues and the county’s executive staff. More than ever, I am amazed by the cooperation and can-do attitude at the County. Working together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. I have enjoyed partnering with leaders throughout the county, including San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. The Mayor and I are determined to open a regional film office to support movie-making in our region and the great economic boost it brings. We expect the film office to open in 2016. This year included milestones on a regional transportation board and a state panel on which I serve. As chairman of Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation, I celebrated providing more than 60,000 low-cost rides to our elderly and disabled residents. Last month, I was elected First Vice President of the California State Association of Counties. In that position, I look forward to discussing key local issues with Gov. Jerry Brown next month, and as a CSAC officer, I am set to advance our interests during meetings with leaders in Washington, D.C. At the county, let’s review some accomplishments from 2015 and plans for 2016. Social Services One key function of county government is to provide health services to people in need. I have learned many lessons on behavioral health – most importantly, that mental illness can affect any person of any age, ethnicity or
income level. In April, my colleagues joined me to approve the county’s Assisted Outpatient Treatment Implementation Plan. Developed in cooperation with health, safety and court officials and consumer advocates, the plan meets the mandates of Laura’s Law, which provides for court-ordered treatment of people with serious mental illness who present dangers to themselves or others and refuse care. The plan is set for implementation this month. This summer, we added 10 Psychiatric Emergency Response Teams to our county network. PERT teams pair mental health professionals with law-enforcement to respond to crisis situations. In related action in September, my colleagues joined me in approving $10 million to provide supportive housing for homeless people with severe mental illness. In September, the North Inland Live Well Center opened in Escondido, providing one-stop client services and in 2016, our Health and Human Services Agency will open a regional, crisis stabilization center in Escondido. As chairman of the Behavioral Health Advisory Board’s Suicide Reduction Task Force, I helped draft recommendations that are heading to the Board of Supervisors for approval and implementation early in 2016. Supervisor Ron Roberts, San Diego City Councilman Todd Gloria and I have been working to develop an HIV and AIDS reduction strategy. We expect to bring that plan to the Board of Supervisors in 2016, as well. Land-use One year ago, I brought forward a proposal that moves the county toward zero waste. What would it take to achieve 75 percent waste diversion by 2020 and zero waste by 2040? We have found that we can meet these ambitious goals. Stay tuned for more. The San Dieguito River Park continued to thrive in 2015. As past chairman of the River Park’s board, I helped broker an agreement that secures coop-
eration among the park’s six member agencies for the next 50 years. I’m also pleased to have reached a compromise to keep much of the San Dieguito Lagoon boardwalk in place and to have secured funding for trail construction and improvements to the park’s Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead in Escondido. In Encinitas, I have pushed for the county to invest more than $2 million at the San Diego Botanic Garden to enhance this regional treasure. Community services Each Third District community has unique needs. In December, the Board of Supervisors authorized $200,000 to improve the Solana Beach Shared-Use Library, and in July, the board supported the library expansion with a separate, $200,000 grant. I am excited about the installation of a 24/7, automated library materials kiosk in Encinitas in 2016. And I am proud to have supported enhancements at the Rancho Bernardo High School Library to provide more resources in that community. We love our pets. To make sure that our animals are well taken care of, I have supported exploring improvements for our Department of Animal Services. I also led a county initiative designed to help residents keep their pets safe during an El Niño winter. Escondido showed its support for military veterans with the opening of the Hawthorne Veteran and Family Resource Center, for which Supervisor Bill Horn and I secured much-needed county funds. Rancho Bernardo cherishes its sense of community, and that’s why I’m happy to have played a major role in answering the community’s request to save Webb Lake. It has felt great to make a difference in 2015 and add to our extraordinary quality of life. My team and I look forward to 2016 and more accomplishments. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

“We need the city hall,” said resident Tensia Trejo. “Our little city is beautiful, but it’s incomplete.” Some residents who live near the project site, however, still have concerns. During workshops and the Citizens’ Participation Program — a program created to gather community input on development proposals early in the Design Review Board process— they shared their problems with the project, including concerns about lighting, privacy and traffic. Nearby neighbors brought their concerns before the Design Review Board on Dec. 16, but the board voted to recommend approval of the project with modifications to reduce impacts on light, noise, privacy and traffic circulation. To address privacy impacts, the board recommended the proposed town hall overlook on the roof of Del Mar TV studio be realigned approximately 5 feet to the east to restrict public access to the westerly edge. City staff, however, recommended maintaining the overlook as originally designed because the property to the west of the project site at 220 10th Street will be protected by a 10-foot wall and landscape screening. Furthermore, there will be no change to existing conditions for other properties along 10th Street. Board and staff members, however, agreed that the proposed 2,700-square-foot town hall terrace on the south side of the new city hall should be reduced to 300 square feet with an access walkway to city hall and a planted buffer comprising the remainder of the terrace. Although the board said the city should not restrict access with a gate and fence, city staff concluded that a gate and fence would help control afterhour access to the terrace. The board also recommended heights for the vegetation screening to further protect the privacy of neighbors. To address lighting and nose impacts, the board recommended the proposed 8-foot site wall parallel to the west property line be increased to 10 feet and extended further south and to the east. Board members also requested the color of exterior lighting be controlled and that all exterior lighting be dimmable and installed in controlled lighting zones. Staff concurred with the board’s recommendations. Plans on vehicular ingress and egress has created the most controversy. Current access to the site includes two entrance and exit points on 10th Street and one on 11th Street. The proposed circulation plan allows vehicles to enter the new parking structure from 10th and 11th streets but only exit with a right turn onto 11th. The traffic engineer recommended the plan because 10th Street has a steep slope and vehicles can only enter that roadway going south. Eleventh Street has a fourway controlled stop sign, allowing drivers safer and easier access to Camino del Mar. To address traffic impacts, the board recommended a locking gate to control the times of vehicular access from 11th Street to the surface parking lot, the creation of a connection drive aisle between the lot and the parking garage, the installation of right-turn only signage at the 11th Street exit point of the parking garage, and the reduc-
tion in associated parking spaces to accommodate the drive aisle connection and increase expandable space. The board also recommended the project should include the installation of traffic control measures to force vehicle egress from the 11th Street access point of the parking garage eastbound onto 11th. City staff concurred with the board’s recommendations. Still, some nearby residents argued the ingress and egress between 10th and 11th streets should be balanced. Some even hired their own traffic consultants who offered differing data. “The unfair and inequitable circulation plan will have an impact on the quality of our life, impact on the safety for all residents in the area, and will also negatively affect the value of the homes on 11th Street near the project,” said Jas Grewal, who lives with her husband, Suren Dutia, on 11th Street directly across from city hall. A total of 63 residents signed a petition requesting a balanced traffic flow on 10th and 11th streets. “Dumping it all on 11th Street is wrong and must not be approved,” Dutia said. Other community members, however, reminded the council that the project is intended for the whole community. “Not everybody can be satisfied by a plan like this,” said resident Jeff Barnouw. “I don’t mean to discount the people who have legitimate concerns because they’re immediate neighbors, but this is going to be something for all of Del Mar and I think that’s an important consideration.” Council members Al Corti and Don Mosier, who serve on the city hall project subcommittee, reviewed alternative circulation plans as well as the concept of balancing the ingress and egress between 10th and 11th streets and concluded that the modified proposed circulation design and operation for the project should be implemented. Nevertheless, council members agreed to continue their decision on the project’s permits to the Jan. 19 meeting in order to reassess the proposed circulation plan. In the next two weeks, city staff and council liaisons will work with concerned community members and consultants to determine whether any improvements can be made to the plan. Work will also begin
on an operational plan. “Let’s look at a traffic solution … that is both safe and does not bleed into the residential neighborhoods,” Sinnott said. Although the council delayed its decision on the project’s permits — which includes design review, costal development, land conservation and tree removal permits — the council unanimously certified the environmental impact report for the project, marking a major milestone. “I’m proud of our town for getting this far,” said KC Vafiadis, a Del Mar native and commercial property owner. Del Mar has considered replacing its 60-year-old city hall for decades. It was never the city’s plan to permanently remain in the former schoolhouse. In fact, city officials began planning for a new city hall shortly after purchasing the old St. James Academy property in 1973. Originally built in the 1920s and expanded in 1956, the two school buildings remain in mostly the same condition, with much of the space limited to storage due to safety concerns.
An ad hoc committee was created in 1986 to work on a master plan and architectural design for a new civic center. In 1992, however, the public voted against a bond issue to build the project. The city revisited the idea from 2003 through 2007, conducting feasibility studies and hosting a public workshop to assess mixed-use options. With prodding from some community members, the council re-initiated the planning process in June 2013. Since then, the council has discussed the project during 42 council meetings, held four community workshops, hosted two open houses, issued a citywide survey and conducted an online poll. The Design Review Board has also looked at the project three times. “Sometimes you forget how much and how many things that have gone through this process,” Sinnott said. “This is a nice recap.” “We’re not done,” said Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director. “There’s still a lot more effort to be done.”

CONTRACT continued from page 19
200-plus overflow crowd of people in attendance, mostly teachers, were treated to a few moments of the song “Celebrate Good Times” on the speaker system before it was shut off. “Yes, it was played,” Schmitt said. “What happened is a staff person did that, unbeknownst to any of us.” “I’m disappointed that that was played; it was out of line,” he said. “It was not anything the school district or the leadership team planned for or endorsed.” In an unusual decision, one speaker, Bob Croft, was allowed to make a public statement after the vote, in support of the contract. Speakers typically comment before a vote is taken on an action item, during the
board’s discussion process of that item. Schmitt said Croft was not given special treatment and that anyone is allowed to speak after a vote has been recorded. “Anybody can request that, we’ve done it before,” he said. Croft is paid a full teacher’s salary but does not teach. The district hires a substitute to teach his physical education classes at Earl Warren Middle School. His full-time job is to serve as head of the San Dieguito Faculty Association and advocate on behalf of teachers. Flawed process San Dieguito teachers deserve a new master contract with increased compensation, no argument. However, several issues give one pause: a 12.5 percent raise is rather hefty, the need to be the highest paid in the coun-
ty is troublesome, class sizes may increase, the district will have to spend down reserves to sustain the raise, and taxpayer interests may not have been fairly represented at the bargaining table. One may object to one or more of these issues, but what’s most critical is that property owners, taxpayers and parents were denied adequate time to become aware of the tentative agreement and were not given sufficient time to review it. If constituents had had time to register their objections or support to trustees, then board members would only be accountable for their votes on the deal. But the three trustees who voted in favor of this agreement – Dalessandro, Hergesheimer and Herman – didn’t just vote for the contract. By approving it
the way it was done, they voted for secrecy and against transparency. It’s one thing to support the contract itself, but quite another to proceed to approve the labor agreement knowing the contents of the contract had essentially been kept hidden. The district’s response to the failure of timely disclosure has been repeated often: “This is how we’ve always done it.” And: “Other districts do it this way.” Parents, does this sound familiar? How many times have we heard our kids say that they want to have/buy/do something “because all the other kids” are having/buying/doing it? Illegal actions by other districts – or a history of doing things the wrong way – carry no weight. Muir, in her statement after
John Andor Grimstad Sr.
resilience, and the love of his family, he always came back stronger than before. John was a man of incredible drive and fierce determination. Whatever he set his mind to received all that he had to give. You will find no greater example of this than the pursuit and lifelong love to his bride, Beverley. She was the defining relationship in his life, in which all purpose was rooted, and from which all life was conceived and blossomed. Together they built, in his words, “A storybook life’’, that included amazing thrills from transpacific sailboat races, epic ski trips and world travel, to landing his pontoon plane on Lake Tahoe. For John’s family, adventure and the anticipation of the unknown was always part of the equation. The only trait to rival John’s immense work ethic was his insatiable play ethic. His laughter often turned uncontrollable, leading to a bright red face and tears of joy running down his cheeks. His presence was
unmistakable. He was the tone-setter of his time. Known as “John John” to his grandchildren, he spent many days dedicated solely to building memories with them. His 1929 Ford Model A pickup nicknamed “Tut Tut,” was a common escape vehicle to take grandkids to get icecream. No dessert run was complete without some reminiscing and comments on how “scoops used to be a nickel” or of his offers to gladly “clean up” a child’s melting ice cream cone. Another signature move of John’s was the sight of him standing with the refrigerator door open chugging milk straight from the cartoon, regardless of who’s house he was in. This was even more funny knowing that dairy always gave him indigestion. Just another example that showed John lived according to his terms. John picked up every meal check at his table and followed it by crumbling every receipt like a dirty napkin. His generosity was unsurpassed and the lives he touched innumerable. When John decided to treat you, it was above and beyond all expectations. He was a man of passion and precision, form and function. He had a remarkable mind that was always working; he would often wake up in the middle of the night with solutions to long drawn out problems. Ideas oozed from him and were a part

Ralph Taylor Peck, Jr.
November 20, 1944 - December 23, 2015 SOLANA BEACH — John Andor Grimstad Sr., of Solana Beach, died in his home surrounded by family on December 23, 2015. John was a dedicated family man, visionary, successful developer and connoisseur of life. He is survived by his wife, Beverley; their five children, Teri Cassiano, John Grimstad Jr., Kerry Smith, Tracy Jensen and DeAnn Short; along with their 13 grandchildren. John was born November 20, 1944, in San Pedro, CA. John’s father immigrated to America at the age of 14 from Norway, where life was troubled and food was scarce. His father worked a long career as a boat captain and was in a handful of western movies. It was examples like this, of courage and big dreams, that would weave the intricate fabric of John’s character. John served in the 82nd Airborne, as a well respected soldier, he earned special duties such as representing the Army in international surf contests. After his enlistment, he attended the Colorado School of Mines and eventually dug multiple oil wells, only to come up dry. It was this go for broke mindset that separated John from the pack. “Gamble only what you’re willing to lose,” he would say. To John, sometimes that meant everything. More than once he did lose everything, but with grit,
the vote, said, “This process is simply very flawed and unacceptable to me.” Hergesheimer and Dalessandro are up for re-election in 2016. If they choose to run again, it would be Hergesheimer’s fourth term (she was first elected in 2004) and Dalessandro’s sixth (she was first elected in 1996). Next week’s column will have details on the cost of annual step-and-column raises, the implications of the transfer of $12,000 in health care benefits into salary, using money in reserves to pay for the raises, the requirement to be the highest paid teachers in the county, and class sizes.

of his daily conversations. He could discuss at length the finest of details, from timber framing connectors to what made the world’s best chicken pot pie crust. His eye for style permeated every gift, every design, and every project he was a part of. His fingertips imprinted quality. Yet somehow, this same man would take you to the finest restaurants wearing sweatpants and a frayed white t-shirt. He had nothing to prove, he had done it all. He owned every second that this world could give, and he has taken a piece of our hearts that cannot be replaced. He was larger than life, and his legacy exponentially more. John we will remember you for more than what you did, we will remember you for who you were. You were our patriarch, our pillar, a loyal husband, our father, our John John, our friend. You were the bow of the ship, cutting a path for generations to follow. You will be forever missed, but also forever found in us. The things you taught, the examples you showed, the knowledge you imparted, and the love you gave, will shine on in honor of you, forever. Goodbye John, we love you. John’s ceremonial service is being held at SelfRealization Fellowship in Encinitas, January 16, 2016, at 2pm. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/delmartimes.
DEL MAR — Ralph died at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla on December 16, 2015. He was born at the old Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest in 1927, son of Ralph and Rose Peck. He was a lifelong resident of San Diego County and a 60 year resident of Del Mar. Ralph was drafted in 1945 into World War II and discharged at the end of 1947. He went to San Diego State College, considered becoming a dentist, but eventually graduated with a degree in accounting and economics. He moved to Del Mar in 1955 to open an accounting practice, which he operated until retiring from accounting in 1985. He and his wife, Gracelyn, purchased the Terrace Court Motel in 1967, changed the name to The Lemon Tree Motel, and operated it as such until 1973. They converted it into a retail strip mall called Lemon Tree Corner, but after four years turned it into an office complex which is still in operation today. From 1985 to 1990 he operated an auto body shop, Matt’s Newborn Auto Paintworks, in San Marcos with his son, Matthew. Other interests/hobbies were plumbing, electrical, automobiles, motorcycles and law research.
Ralph was heavily involved in Del Mar politics until his death. His correspondence with City staff and his regular contributions to the Del Mar Times’ Letter to the Editor section are legendary and took up much of his time. He was highly critical of the size and scope of government in the City of Del Mar, and his letters will be missed by many. Ralph was a loving man who cared deeply for his family and his country. He is survived by his wife, Gracelyn; sons, Matthew and Adam; daughter, Annie; and his grandchildren, Tanner, Caden and Trinity. Ralph requested no services.

Local residents connect with rescued elephants

‘Hug Train’ stops in Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK The “Hug Train” stopped in Solana Beach for the holiday season. This was the seventh year Arié Moyal spent the holidays hugging his way across North America, but it was his first time stopping in the seaside city, where he gave “free hugs” Dec. 30 at the Solana Beach Transit Center. “Financial difficulties, family issues, seasonal affective disorder and social isolation make the holidays particularly stressful for many people, and sometimes the smallest things — like a hug — can make the biggest difference,” Moyal said in a press release. “I want to inspire others to spread some joy, and to know that doing small things can make a big difference in their communities.” In an effort to raise spirits throughout the holiday season, Moyal has traveled across North America giving hugs since 2009. This year, Moyal left his hometown of Montreal in mid-December and made nearly 30 stops, including Solana Beach, which is the furthest from home he’s ever been. Along the way he stopped in Washington, D.C., for Christmas and in San Francisco for New Year’s Eve, where he gave people hugs on the Golden Gate Bridge. The threeand-a-half-week trip concluded Jan. 7 in Montreal. Moyal’s annual Hug Train trips are funded through a combination of crowdfunding, the support of close friends and volunteers from around the world, and money he saves throughout the year. Moyal said he plans to continue the tradition for years to come. A Hug Train app is now available for download and a documentary on the movement is currently in development. “The act of hugging lays the biological and structure for connection to other people,” Moyal said. “We need that more today than ever before.” For more about the Hug Train, visit hugtrain.org.
BY KAREN BILLING Local residents Lynda and Richard Kerr expressed their love for elephants by donating their time and treats in the form of juicy pumpkins late last year at the Performing Animal Welfare Society’s (PAWS) . PAWS, a 2,300-acre sanctuary in San Andreas, Northern California, was founded by the late Pat Derby and her partner Ed Stewart in 1984 to provide a refuge for abused and neglected captive wildlife from the entertainment industry. The Kerrs have always been animal advocates — they regard their dogs as family members and support many animal causes. Of all the animals, elephants stood out for them: at 4,000 to 10,000 pounds as full grown adults they are the world’s largest land mammal yet so socially sophisticated in many ways, Lynda Kerr said. “In nature they remain together in family groups for generations. They exhibit compassion for one another, mourn their dead, have complex language and family structures, demonstrate complicated problemsolving ability, and live the lifespan of up to 70 years (in the wild). And yet, sadly, they are likely the most abused animal in history,” Kerr said. “Entire herds continue to be massacred for their ivory throughout Africa. Babies are separated from their mothers in violent ways and shipped around the world to supply zoos and circuses where they live miserable, unnatural lives.” Kerr said elephants age rapidly in confinement and are considered old at 30. “There are many aging elephants exhibited in zoos and circuses, some living in deplorable conditions, throughout the U.S. and around the world who are in need of retirement or rescue,” Kerr said. PAWS currently provides a peaceful, natural habitat for eight elephants.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

(Above) Richard and Lynda Kerr with PAWS founder Ed Stewart. (Top right and bottom right) Elephants receiving pumpkin treats. Courtesy photos They have African female elephants Thika, age 35, and Toka, age 45, from the Toronto Zoo; Lulu, age 48, from the San Francisco Zoo; Maggie, age 35, from the Alaska Zoo; and Mara, age 35, from a private owner in Florida. PAWS also cares for Gypsy, an Asian female elephant age 48, a former circus elephant and Asian bull elephants, also former circus performers Nicholas, age 22, and Prince, age 28. Since its inception, PAWS has cared for a total of 16 elephants. At PAWS the elephants live life on their own terms with acres of land to roam, heated barns, a lake and two swimming pools. At PAWS the elephants are not on display. PAWS is a true sanctuary, Kerr said, accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and does not breed, sell or trade, and is not open to the public. However, PAWS does host several open houses and educational tours each year. “When we heard of the PAWS Sanctuary, we were immediately interested in learning more. We were delighted when we were invit-

ed by Ed Stewart to tour the facility,” Kerr said. “But we could not arrive empty handed. So what do you bring eight elephants when you come to visit?” Kerr had an idea. Elephants are vegetarians and eat an enormous amount of food. Driving by the local pumpkin patch, they wondered, how about pumpkins? “After Halloween, everyone is happy to get rid of their leftover pumpkins, especially the pumpkin patch,” Kerr said. “So we loaded the back of our SUV with pumpkins and headed for the hills of San Andreas, seven hours north of San Diego.” Upon arrival at PAWS, the Kerrs set out to deliver the pumpkins to the elephants. Stewart would call each elephant’s name and from the distance, an elephant would appear. “With long, graceful strides, they each ap-
proached the fence and gently reached out, and with nimble trunks took the pumpkin directly from Ed’s hand,” Kerr said. “Some stepped on them first while others popped them directly into their giant mouths. All wanted more!” Kerr hopes that more people who are as passionate about these animals as she and her husband are will do their part to spread awareness about PAWS and help the organization. People can learn about donations and how to help by visiting PAWSweb.org or by calling (916) 539-5305.

Mabel’s boutique for stylish women, babies opens in Pacific Highlands Ranch
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING The new Mabel’s has opened at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, offering clothing for women and babies as well as accessories and gifts. The store is the third Mabel’s in the area, joining well-loved shops on Cedros in Solana Beach and in the 4S Commons Town Center in 4S Ranch. Mabel’s is owned by sisters Colleen Morgans, Leah Cassidy and Lisa Ketcham, all Torrey Pines High School grads from the 1980s. The Mabel’s name is borrowed from the sisters’ grandmother. “She was like Audrey Hepburn when she walked into a room,” Ketcham said, describing her grandmother in a white dress with red polka dots with perfectly matching red shoes and a bag. “She was just one of those people, in our hearts and minds, who had just exquisite taste.” The sisters all went off on their own directions after high school — Colleen to Oregon, where she became a photographer; Leah to New York where she worked in fashion merchandising and design; and Lisa attended San Diego State University to earn her degree in business and communications. Eventually they all made their way back to San Diego and as they started the next chapter of their lives with young families, they talked about putting all of their strengths together and opening their own retail store. Ketcham can chart their business’ growth by the growth of her own family — when they opened the Solana Beach store 19 years ago, she recalls her baby son nestled in a carrier as she worked. After Baby Mabel’s opened on Cedros with baby and maternity clothes, the sisters opened their
third store in the Forum Carlsbad 12 years ago — Ketcham’s new daughter was modeling the baby clothes. They closed the Carlsbad Mabel’s as the Forum evolved into bigger brand stores and folded Baby Mabel’s by offering baby clothing in the original Mabel’s. Eight years ago, the 4S Ranch Mabel’s opened as one of the first stores in the growing community’s shopping center. By that time Leah had moved to Oregon and Colleen focused on her Solana Beach photography business so Ketcham was running both stores on her own. The Village approached Ketcham several times about opening a store in the new center but she declined several times. The wife of developer Coast Income Property’s Dan Curran was such a big fan of Mabel’s that she insisted her husband convince them to come. It took one visit, Ketcham eyed the perfect 1,200-square-foot corner spot and decided: “We’ll do it.” The Pacific Highlands Ranch store is smaller than the Solana Beach and 4S shops and has the same “home-y, antique-y feeling,” of the others. Chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, lacy tanks spill out of refreshed old furniture, baby clothes are displayed on shabby chic dressers and accessories dangle in antique frames and on tiered plates. The sisters are all still owners with input, but Ketcham does the day-to-day running of the businesses, going where she is needed and splitting her time between all three stores. “A lot of blood, sweat and tears are put into this business,” she said. It is at times heavy on the tears, at

times a love-hate relationship but she knows her work is a blessing — running her own stores has given her the flexibility to continue being a hands-on mom, having titles like room parent and cheer coach in addition to small business owner. “And I have a really good staff and team that works together,” Ketcham said. Ketcham works hard to find new lines to keep her stores fresh and different and all of the jewelry carried in Mabel’s comes from local artists. “Custom-made jewelry really is a value because it’s different all the time,” Ketcham said, noting she is very picky and selects only lines that match Mabel’s style and quality. “I’m very happy with the relationships I’ve cultivated with all of our jewelers because that’s important to me.” The challenge of Mabel’s is balancing the baby and women’s clothing — not wanting too much of one to deter customers looking for the other and vice

Founder of Balanced and Bright writes book about bone broth BY ASHLEY MACKIN Long before the bone broth craze took hold, Quinn Farrar Wilson was drinking the nutritious elixir. Now the founder of Balanced and Bright has written a book to chronicle her experiences, provide insight into what bone broth is, and offer recipes so readers can make it at home. Drinking bone broth — a simmered broth made from animal bones, vegetables and herbs — is a longstanding practice that has picked up steam in recent years. Those who swear by it, including Wilson, say the bone broth helps everything from stomach sensitivity to calcium deficiency. By simmering the broth, typically for a few days, “all the vitamins, minerals, collagen and calcium in the bones breaks down and goes into the broth,” she said (not to mention the comforting, filling feeling that comes from drinking it). For Wilson, after she started drinking the broth, she noticed several changes in her body. “The first thing I noticed was that the skin on my hands changed,” she said. Further, the damage to her teeth caused by a skiing accident when she was 10 started to repair. “After the accident, I was losing my teeth and I had a bone grafting surgery and I was in pain for months after that. It was dental hell,” she said. “Once I started drinking bone broth, the pain went away and soon after all my Xrays showed the bone tissue in my jaw and teeth was super strong and super healthy.” She added that she “always had a sensitive stomach,” but after six months of drinking bone broth, “I noticed some stomach problems lessened, after eight months they were gone.” Although it worked for Wilson, nutrition professionals are not certain whether bone broth is a “superfood” or a “cure-all.” Christine Zoumas, director of the Healthy Eating Program at Moores Cancer Center out of UC San Diego, said there are nutritional benefits, but not necessarily to the extent people think. “Bone broth is not too different from a soup stock, it can be healthy because its low in sodium because you’re making it yourself (so you can control the salt levels) and if

it has vegetables, the nutritional content of those vegetables gets into that broth. It can be a really good meal,” she said. “Plus, it has lot of volume with little calories.” Zoumas also said any time people make their own food, it makes them more aware of their produce choices. But she added that one of the broth’s “selling points” is that by drinking something collagen rich, it goes directly into the body as collagen, but this claim is not supported by science. “When you consume something with collagen, it is digested into amino acids and then your body gets to choose how to use those amino acids. It could become something else your body needs because amino acids are the building blocks for protein, which can be turned into enzymes, body tissue, something for your immune system, whatever your body needs,” she said. “But so can many

other foods.” For those who want to try it for themselves, Wilson founded Balanced and Bright to produce and sell bone broth. However, to expand facilities, she had postponed distribution until this month. In the meantime, her website — balancedandbright.com — provides tips for making bone broth at home. In addition to making bone broth, her company also makes a bone broth tea that can be served at breakfast. “Depending on how you make it, you can flavor it however you want. It can taste like ginger (how I like it) or like a chicken soup broth,” she said. Bone broth
can be consumed hot or cold, or as a substitute in a recipe that calls for stock or broth. “It’s an arduous task to make,” she said, pointing out that it takes about three days to simmer, strain, cool, simmer, strain and cool again — all the while separating any fat that might rise to the surface. “But it makes your whole house smell like broth!” she said. While the bones can come from any animal, Wilson said the most important thing is to use organic and pastured animal bones, and recommends Homegrown Meats in La Jolla as a supplier. Wilson is self-taught in the realm of “food as medicine,” she said, and she embarked on this new path in 2008. She founded Quintessential Cooking to teach others how to use locally sourced ingredients, and worked for Urban Core to teach children about nutritious food. Now she can add author to her list of accomplishments. Wilson’s book, “Bone Broth: Essential Recipes and Age-Old Remedies to Heal Your Body,” is available at balancedandbright.com and amazon.com

J* Company launches new year with ‘Seussical Jr.’ BY DAVID L. CODDON To motivate and educate his young theater students, “Seussical Jr.” director Joey Landwehr coined a word that sounds like it’s right out of a Dr. Seuss storybook: fwapers. Even though it’s a fun word that Landwehr himself likes to say out loud, FWAPERS is an acronym for: Focus, Willingness, Adult Appreciation, Professionalism, Example, Respect and Support. These are among the lessons Landwehr and his staff seek to impart at J* Company youth theater, based at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center’s Jacobs Campus in La Jolla. This month, Landwehr marks his 10-year anniversary as artistic director of J* Company, which produces four mainstage musicals a year, including those for younger students (ages 7 to 15) and an older group of performing and behind-thescenes students (ages 10 to 19). Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty’s “Seussical Jr.”, which opens on Jan. 15, features the younger students, and a lot of them: There are 83 in the show, the result of 170 auditions. J* Company’s first older-students production of 2016 will be Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin’s “Annie Warbucks,” which opens on Feb. 26. In either age group, J* Company students, with help from volunteer parents, do everything from building sets to choreography, and the older-student produc-
tions also feature a live orchestra. Everyone works together. “I tell them ‘you’re a troupe,’ ” said Landwehr, who acted and directed in New York City before coming to San Diego in 2003. Prior to taking the artistic helm of J’ Company, he worked for the San Diego Performing Arts League. “I talk about ensemble, which has this bad reputation. I tell them it’s a French word that means ‘as one.’ That’s what we’re doing.” From this concept sprung Landwehr’s FWAPERS concept. “At the end of each production,” he explained, “the cast votes on who best achieved these goals.” A student receives a FWAPERS award, and his or her photograph is displayed on a wall of honor in the green room adjacent to the 500-seat auditorium on the JCC’s Jacobs Family Campus. Landwehr’s cluttered desk is watched over by framed posters of the 57 shows produced since he arrived at J* Company. (The first was “Rumpelstiltskin is My Name.”) Over the years the company has staged not only light family fare such as “Mary Poppins” (the last production of 2015), but
MABEL’S
more adult-oriented musicals like “West Side Story” and even “Rent.” “One of my goals is to expose these young people to every kind of musical theater I could possibly imagine,” said Landwehr, whose Broadway associations include everyone from Joel Grey to Harvey Fierstein. “I bring an educational component to every show. I make the kids do some research. They come out of it with a new sense of the musical. It’s important to teach them the history. It’s my mission to immerse them in theater.” This immersion begins at the start of each rehearsal, when Landwehr sings to his company some song from a Broadway musical. If they hadn’t heard of the songs, or the show, at the time, they are quickly educated by a man who knows of what he speaks. “I’m not only creating future artists; I’m creating future audiences.” But besides the education and the fun, J* Company students build friendships and collaborative ties. “In theater, you become this connected group,” said Landwehr. “You never lose that contact. Once you are a J* Company family member you are always a J* Company family member.” IF YOU GO: “Seussical Jr.” takes the J* Company Youth Theatre stage, matinees/evenings Jan. 15-31 at the Garfield Theatre in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla.

versa. Ketcham feels she has created a good mix, adding lines such as Free People and Paige premium denim to attract younger customers and keeping her baby offerings special, unique and perfect for gifts, such as playful onesies, “Birthday Babe” dresses and baby moccasins. “I used to say our customers are young, hip moms but now I want it to be mothers and their daughters, I want them both to shop here,” Ketcham said. Mabel’s is located at 5965 Village Way, Suite 103, San Diego, 92130. For more information call (858) 847-2550.

Artistic Triumphs! Salk concerts to link science, music masters BY WILL BOWEN An innovative four-concert series that merges the latest medical science research with jazz and classical music performed by world-class musicians, returns to the Conrad Prebys Hall at the Salk Institute, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road. The series, in keeping with Jonas Salkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of the Salk Institute being a place where the arts and sciences would unfold hand in hand, began when Conrad Prebys gifted the Salk with a Steinway Grand Piano No. 191, which he purchased from Greene Music. Then Salk Institute president William Brody decided that this grand piano, which was further refurbished by the Institute, just had to be played, so he hired classical pianist Karen Joy Davis (whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won numerous competitions, including the Bartok, Baldwin, InterAmerican, and National Society of Arts & Letters) to put together an ongoing series of musical events around the Steinway. What makes this series so special is the attempt to fire up both hemispheres of patronsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds. Series listeners get to hear 45 minutes of breathtaking music to wake up their right brains, then after a break, hear a 15-minute research update by a Salk medical scientist to stimulate their left brains, and then sit back for 45 more minutes of whole brain music appreciation. Davis, who will perform as part of a piano duet for the series season finale, said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited about her role as exec-
utive director: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My passion is sharing music, whether through teaching, promoting or performing, and my vision is to bring high-caliber musicians to San Diego, who will merge with Salk scientists to create novel and stimulating events for the public.â&#x20AC;? Davis said she grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, and settled in San Diego after performing here several times. She is the daughter of a building developer and a Julliardtrained opera singer, and she started playing the piano at age 4. She performed her first professional concert at age 12. Eventually, she ended up following in her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps by enrolling at Julliard. â&#x20AC;˘The monthly concerts take place, 3:30-6 p.m. Sun-

Friends of Jung will present its next lecture on Friday, Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m. at The Winston School in Del Mar. Guest speaker Elizabeth Eowyn Nelson will present “Shadow Vows: What We Don’t Say When We Say ‘I Do.’” By the time a marriage is in crisis, either or both of the partners often ask, “What did I get myself into?” and “When was the beginning of the end?” Such questions can torture them for weeks, months, and even years, as they struggle to live their wedding vows. This lecture describes how the beginning of the end occurred long before vows were ever spoken because of the shadow vows — the unacknowledged assumptions, agreements, and obligations each person brought to their first date and never fully understood. This lecture develops the concept of shadow vows through an intertextual reading of Jung’s essay on marriage as a psychological relationship and a fresh interpretation of the Greco-Roman tale of “Eros and Psyche.” The Winston School is located at 215 9th St., Del Mar, 92014. Fee: $20 non-members.

Preventing Drunk Driving Accidents This New Year’s Eve Sadly, New Year’s Eve and the holidays are some of the biggest times for car accidents over the course of the year. This is because many people are out enjoying fun with their friends, family and even coworkers and they might not realize that they are too impaired to drive. If you encounter an individual who is too impaired to get
behind the wheel of a car, you can do your part to prevent accidents by following these tips. Your efforts could just save somebody’s life. You need to remember to respond appropriately in a situation like this in order to keep a bad situation from getting worse. Maintaining your own sense of cool and calm during this time can encourage the other driver to forget about getting behind the wheel and can also keep the situation from getting violent or the other individual from becoming too aggressive. Use a Friend for Moral Support It is more difficult for an impaired driver to say no to three or more people than one. Offer Alternative Arrangements Whether the person sleeps over at your

own house or you arrange for a cab, sober driver or public transportation, giving them an alternative option and making it as easy as possible can easily dissuade someone from getting behind the wheel of a car when they are too drunk to drive. Stay Calm Being as non-confrontational as possible during this situation should be your goal. Remember that you are talking to someone who has been impaired by the effects of alcohol, so you need to speak more slowly and clearly enunciate and explain your reasoning. Sharing with someone that you are concerned that they may hurt themselves or hurt others may help to address this situation without generating an argument between you and this other
individual. Take the Person’s Keys As a last resort, you may need to take the person’s keys so that they are not tempted to get behind the wheel of a car. You should only do this when you have tried other methods and it is clear that the driver is not going to listen to you or take into consideration your concerns about safety. Removing their keys takes the opportunity to drive drunk out of the equation entirely but be prepared that the person may react violently. This is why having a friend to support you can assist during this difficult situation. For advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https:// seriousaccidents.com/.

CROSSWORD
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DEL MAR, CALIFORNIA, IMPOSING A BAN ON THE COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION, DELIVERY/DISTRIBUTION, AND PROCESSING OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN THE CITY OF DEL MAR.
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN While beauty may only be skin deep, you can pamper and primp the middle layer, the dermis, where precious collagen fibers reside. Choice foods will keep skin supple, smooth and firm by both boosting collagen production, and warding off elements that destroy these delicate cells. Look for the fountain of youth at the supermarket — here’s your shopping list, compliments of the spirit of forever young Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. Go Green Take a leaf out of Popeye’s book, and indulge in spinach, kale, bok choy, arugula, collard greens and cabbage. These lutein powerhouses help plump up dehydrated skin cells, and boost elasticity for a taut, youthful glow by stomping out free radicals that eradicate collagen protein. Whip up a wilted spinach and persimmon salad, a side of arugula and caramelized onions, braised ginger soy bok choy or sweet and sour Bavarian cabbage for a dose of collagen care. Seeing Red Bright pigmented fruits and vegetables from ruby red beets and scarlet tomatoes to purple grapes and blueberries have a rich store of phytonutrient anthocyanins that collaborate with Vitamin C to fortify collagen fibers, and shield them from oxidative damage caused by aging. Tomatoes are also lycopene warriors that attack collagenases – enzymes that destroy collagen by breaking the peptide bonds. Those seedy fruits are most potent cooked, especially when combined with a fat like olive oil or cheese. Baked ziti, anyone? The Collagen Clove Garlic, the stinky rose, that is good for practically everything except shining your shoes has also been found to manufacture collagen by its powerful sulfuric compounds, and reconstruct the damaged fibers by its abundance of taurine and lipoic acid. Chop and toss generously in tomato, cream or oil-based sauces, stews, soups, vinaigrette dressings or dips, or roast whole bulbs with a drizzle of olive oil, and spread on ciabbata, French or your favorite bread to rev up your collagen factory. The Buzz on Honey For centuries, the Maori people of New Zealand found the secret to a youthful complexion in Manuka Honey. Whether eaten as a healing food or applied topically to the face, this luscious nectar rejuvenates the skin as it replenishes the collagen supply. Multi-tasking honey can be used in both sweet and savory dishes from muffins, quick breads, hot cereals and yoghurts to salad dressings, sauces and marinades for chicken and fish. Just your Cup of Tea Sip a soothing (and anti-aging) cup of green or white tea sweetened with — what else —Manuka honey. While the green tea has a load of antioxidant catechins to stop free radicals in their tracks before they damage collagen, white tea protects the precious protein by its store of phenolic acid. An Once of Prevention. . . Here are some lifestyle tips to help put the skids on collagen loss: •Butt out – Smoking is a no-no that will negatively impact all your body organs, including your skin and the cellular collagen production. So quit or don’t start. •Work out – Moderate exercise daily,
even a short walk, will dial up endorphins and collagen. •Screen out – harmful UV rays with a sunscreen (at least SPF 30) before exposing your delicate skin to the sun, an enemy of collagen. •Ban booze – or at least cut back your alcohol intake as liquor interferes with healthy collagen formation. Concoct this classic rustic Italian panzanella salad to boost collagen production with a hearty dose of Vitamin C in fresh lemon juice and red peppers, lycopenerich tomatoes, fresh garlic, and for an added anti-aging oomph, a drizzle of Manuka honey, and a store of omega-3’s with walnut oil.

‘A Life in the Law: Practitioners Reflecting on Law and the Legal Process in American Life’ lecture series to be held at UC San Diego A lecture series titled “A Life in the Law: Practitioners Reflecting on Law and the Legal Process in American Life” will be held Jan. 21 and Feb. 18 at UC San Diego Department of Political Science. In this pair of lectures acclaimed litigator William S. Lerach explores the chasm “between the lofty ideals of the American legal system and today’s disturbing reality.” Drawing on his life in the law, Lerach will explore the causes and consequences of the failure of the legal system to meet its ideals, as well as the means by which courageous lawyers representing ordinary people can pursue justice in this hostile environment. Jan. 21: American Law: Instrument of Social and Economic Progress or Weapon of Oppression? Feb. 18: The Holocaust Litigations: Is Holding Corporate Evil Accountable an Impossible Dream? According to Lerach, we must approach the law not with blind reverence but with a searing skepticism grounded in critical thinking. Only then can we return the American legal system to one promoting social and economic progress, deserving the respect of all citizens. Lectures are from 7 – 8:30 p.m. On both nights there will be a reception with light hors d’oeuvres on the Great Hall patio beginning at 6 p.m. All members of the public are invited. Tickets are free but seating is limited. To register, please go to www. eventbritecom/e/a-life-in-the-law-illusions-lost-and-lessons-learned-tickets-19846011956. — Submitted press release
