BY KAREN BILLING After certificated San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) employees received a 12.5 percent raise at the end of 2015, the school board followed suit and approved the same raises for non-represented employee groups at its Jan. 14 meeting. The non-represented employee group includes Superintendent Rick Schmitt and the four assistant superintendents as well as management, confidential and supervisory employees,

a total of 54 positions. The salary increase of 7 percent for 2015-16 and 5.5 percent for 2016-17 was approved in a 3-2 vote. Trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voted against the raises, expressing serious concerns about their affordability. The salary increases represent a cost of $599,344 in 2015-2016 and $546,814 in the second year. Trustee Amy Herman said she understood what an important decision and vote this was and said she spent a lot of time thinking about it, asking questions and losing SEE RAISES, A22

Reward offered for suspected credit card thieves BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A reward of up to $1,000 was offered Jan. 14 for information that leads to the arrest of two people who stole a credit card from an unlocked car in Solana Beach and attempted to use it at a Wal-Mart store in San Diego. One of the suspects took the credit card out of a car parked at a condominium complex in the 900 block of Via Mil Cumbres near Lomas Santa Fe in Solana Beach sometime between 9 p.m. Dec. 29 and 5 a.m. Dec. 30, according to sheriff's detectives and

Crime Stoppers. Images of both suspects were captured on surveillance video the early evening of Dec. 30 as they tried to make a purchase at the Wal-Mart on Murphy Canyon Road in Serra Mesa. The card was declined at the register, authorities said. One suspect was described as an unknown gender white adult, 25 to 30 years old, about 5 feet 8 and 180 pounds with neck-length blond hair wearing a brown hooded jacket and faded blue jeans.

The second suspect was a roughly 25-year-old Asian man, around 5 feet 6 and 160 pounds with short black hair and glasses. He was wearing a blue and tan Pendleton-style hooded jacket and blue jeans. They were seen in a four-door Ford Taurus, authorities said. Anyone with information on the suspects' identities was asked to call the sheriff's department at (760) 966-3500. Anonymous tips can be made by contacting Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8744 or via email at sdcrimestoppers.org.

JAN. 14 DEL MAR MESA PLANNING BOARD BRIEFS Don't drive through barricades

Tracey Williams, Police Department community relations officer, cautioned residents against trying to drive through barricades to El Nino flooded areas, noting the extreme example of a man in his Lamborghini who ignored a barrier, at times entirely submerging his vehicle.

El Nino preparation

Williams advised citizens to have an evacuation plan with alternate route options and an emergency kit, including radio and batteries. Williams noted land line, pluggable phones that can reach 911 are superior to cell phones that go dead during storm

blackouts.

Radar Trailers

Williams noted the city’s purchase of two new sola- powered radar trailers with data recording that pinpoint vehicle speed, to be stationed around the mesa to catch speeders that have been racing around the preserve. It is made of durable Plexiglas to withstand damage by vandals. Residents need to call or email Williams, suggesting sites where the trailers should be stationed.

FBA Update

Discussing the city’s need to update the Facilities Benefit plan regarding Del Mar Mesa trails, streets and neighborhood park, the board

continued to note disintegration of some trails and fencing, hoping to make the purpose of trails more specific, and to upgrade paths. Better placement of rocks could alleviate erosion, which has been a problem, noted chair Gary Levitt. "Fencing needs to be more specific, e.g., we need to establish a system of a specific number of fencing for a specific number of trails," Levitt said. Board members are encouraged to remove any disintegrating trail poles. The Little McGonigle Ranch road connector to the mesa may be unnecessary, and traffic flow is being studied. The park at the east end of Del Mar Mesa, has gone out to bid. — Reported by Suzanne Evans

PHR Community Park, Rec Center design forwarded to Rec Council BY KAREN BILLING The Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park Design Subcommittee “enthusiastically recommended” approval of the park and recreation center designs on Jan. 14. The park site is located in Pacific Highlands Ranch across from the Village and adjacent to Pacific Trails Middle School and Canyon Crest Academy. The committee has approved a plan for a 17,000-square-foot recreation center with a gym, multi-purpose building and enclosed patio. The 13.5-acre park will feature 5 acres of multi-use sports fields, children’s play and discover areas, outdoor basketball court, dog park, and alternative recreation such as a parkour

course, a skate plaza and a cycle pump track. The committee also made it clear that the turf on the field should be natural and not artificial as the Pacific Highlands Ranch community has recycled water for irrigation. The plan will next go to the Carmel Valley Recreation Council for its recommendation on Feb. 2 and onto the Park and Recreation Area Committee to be reviewed by a design professionals group. San Diego’s Park and Recreation Commission will make the final decision. Funding for the park begins in July 2017 and construction is expected to take two years, with a target completion date of July 2019.

Report determines beach’s recreational value Del Mar declares local BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach recently released a draft report that considers the recreational value of the beach to calculate how much property owners should compensate the public for space that is lost when sea walls are constructed to protect private property. Solana Beach started working on the fee study in 2008, determining fees to mitigate the impacts of sea walls on sand and recreational opportunities. While developing a Land Use Plan in 2010, the city agreed to use the California Coastal Commission’s recreation ology to charge a sand mitigation fee, which is approximately $25,000 per 50 feet of seawall. With the sand mitigation fee no longer part of the study, Solana Beach

released its draft public recreation impact fee study in 2010. After Solana Beach adopted its Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan in 2013, the city received a $120,000 grant from the Coastal Commission to complete its fee study. All work must be completed by April 30. About a dozen people attended a public workshop on Jan. 12 to receive information and provide input on the report. Consultants, who began updating the report in June 2014, outlined the study, which reviews comments submitted to the city in 2010, and includes Land Use Plan policies and updated data. The report increased the beach area from 8.18 acres to 15.5, adjusted beach attendance and modified bluff erosion

rates. Among other changes, the report also added the value of the junior lifeguard program and revised the annual surfer count to 66,800 — up from 26,700 in the 2010 fee study. Additionally, fee payment is now required within 20 years rather than 75 years. To determine the recreational value of the beach, consultants considered four economic models. Ultimately, they used the time and travel cost method, which entailed attendance counts and random surveys of beachgoers within Solana Beach. The report concluded the value of an adult visitor is $17.50 in the summer and $13.42 for all other times throughout the year, yielding an annual SEE BEACH, A21

Despite hurdles, Del Mar to soon have its first brewery Facility to be located on San Dieguito Drive BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar will soon have its first brewery. Despite an appeal from a council member, the Del Mar City Council on Jan. 19 declined to schedule a de novo public hearing and upheld the Design Review Board’s conditional approval of

Vigilante Brewing Company along the banks of the San Dieguito Lagoon. The beer manufacturing facility, tasting room and restaurant will be located at 2201 San Dieguito Drive, the former site of bread basket manufacturer Eucalyptus Stoneware. The Design Review Board on Nov. 18 conditionally approved an administrative design review permit for tenant improvements to an existing commercial building and outdoor patio at the project site. As a resident of Del

Mar, Councilman Al Corti appealed the decision, citing concerns with noise and other impacts, and claiming project inaccuracies and processing errors. Corti has property within 300 feet of the project site. “I’m OK with the use; I’m OK with it across the street from my house,” said Corti, who is currently constructing a home on Heather Lane. “I just think that there should be restrictions in place to protect the community, and I SEE BEER, A21

emergency due to rains The city of Del Mar declared a local emergency, in response to the recent El Niño rains. The rains from nearly two weeks ago created a landslide and damaged a portion of Camino del Mar, which runs north and south along the coast, and destroyed a storm drain and utility lines that run under the roadway. There are two northbound lanes and one southbound lane in the damaged area. Due to safety concerns, the city immediately closed all southbound lanes on Camino del Mar, north of Carmel Valley Road and south of Fourth Street and Del Mar Heights Road. One lane in each direction has since reopened, but an estimated $1 million in repairs are still needed. Much of the fill under the street slid down the canyon, undercutting the road and exposing a communication conduit containing fiberoptic cables, two gravity main sewer lines, serving Del Mar and the city of San Diego, as well as a Del Mar storm drain line and inlet. A high pressure gas distribution main also runs beneath the roadway.

According to a staff report prepared for the Jan. 19 council meeting, crews have been working to re-route the storm water flows that normally use the affected pipe while also working to protect the other nearby utility pipes in the immediate vicinity. The city engineer has also been working with the city’s on-call engineering contractors to design the bluff stabilization efforts. The council on Jan. 19 adopted a resolution ratifying City Manager Scott Huth’s proclamation of a local emergency due to the eroded bluff and damaged storm drain. With the council’s unanimous approval of the resolution, the city can now immediately engage contractors without having to go through a time-consuming bid process, Huth explained. "If we had to do a formal bid process with plans, we’d be into a road closure for several months," said Huth, who as city manager also serves as the city’s director of emergency services. He declared a local emergency on Jan. 7.

New Carlsbad plant brings water from ocean to your tap

BY JOE TASH Jennifer Jones held out a plastic cup of water to a visitor. The water was crystal clear and tasted fresh and pure, as if it had been poured from a bottle of spring water. There was nothing to suggest that as recently as one hour earlier, that water had been pulled from the ocean by powerful pumps. Jones, a spokeswoman for Poseidon Water, was taking a reporter on a tour of the new seawater desalination plant on the Carlsbad coast, which officially went online Dec. 23 after a 15-year planning, permitting, design and construction process. The $800 million plant is expected to provide between 7 and 10 percent of San Diego County's drinking water for at least the next 30 years. The sole customer of the plant, which was developed by Poseidon and is now being operated under contract by an Israeli company, is the San Diego County Water Authority, the region's water wholesaler. The water authority in turn supplies its member agencies, such as the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which pipes water to customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. The Carlsbad desalination plant is the only facility of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and one of only two in the United States (the second is in Tampa, Florida). It is designed to produce about 50 million gallons of drinking water per day, and, a month after its launch, local water officials are pleased with the results "The plant is producing water as advertised, and we are reaping the benefits of a new, drought-proof, reliable water supply, that our region is going to rely upon for decades to

think it's a great success," said Bardin. "Having a viable desalination plant will lead the way for others in California." Santa Fe has long supported the project, and was one of nine local water agencies to sign a contract to purchase water from the plant, said Bardin. However, it was later decided to spread the cost of the plant across the entire region, and the water authority took over as the direct purchaser of the plant's output on behalf of its member agencies under a 30-year purchase contract. Support from agencies such as Santa Fe kept the project going during the lengthy permitting process, Bardin said. The project included construction of a 10-mile pipeline, at a cost of $200 million, from the Carlsbad plant to the water authority aqueduct. The water authority blends the desalinated water with water obtained from other sources. While the drinking water produced by the desalination plant does provide a reliable supply, impervious to the drought that has plagued California for the past four or five years, it does not come cheap. Under its contract with Poseidon, the water authority pays between $2,131 and $2,367 per acre-foot of water, which is 325,900 gallons, or enough to supply two families of four for a year. In contrast, the water authority pays $624 per acre-foot, adjusted annually for inflation, for water it buys from Imperial Valley under a water-transfer agreement. The water authority will pay $942 per acre-foot in 2016 for water it purchases from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, according to figures supplied by the agency.

"It couldn't be more satisfying to see this plant up and operating in a reliable fashion," he said. The plant was dedicated on Dec. 14 in a ceremony attended by public officials from across San Diego County. Santa Fe general manager Mike Bardin was one of the attendees, and he said the event marked a historic day for both San Diego and California. "We're very pleased that it came on line, we

In 2016, the water authority will spend about $110 million on water from the desalination plant, said Yamada. Officials expect the price of the desalinated water to come more in line with the cost from other sources in the future, because the price of imported water will rise faster than that of the water from the Carlsbad plant, said water authority spokesman James Palen. The Carlsbad plant puts ocean water through a three-step purification process before it is piped into the water authority's supply line. First, said Jones, the Poseidon spokeswoman, the water is pumped through layers of anthracite, sand and gravel to remove large particles. Next, it is filtered to remove smaller impurities. Finally, said Jones, the water enters what is considered the heart of the plant — the reverse osmosis room. Banks of thousands of stacked tubes contain reverse osmosis membranes. The seawater is forced through the tubes at high pressure, and tiny holes in the membranes allow water molecules to pass, but block larger salt particles. The purified water goes on toward the plant's outflow pipe, while water containing concentrated salt is mixed with seawater and pumped back into the ocean. Before the water is sent on, minerals, chlorine and fluoride are added, Jones said. The water authority is satisfied of the quality of the drinking water produced by the plant, said Yamada. "There is rigorous monitoring that goes on every day, minute by minute and hour by hour, to ensure that the plant is producing a consistent water quality," he said.

Fink shares film study class with veterans in jail BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Christina Fink spends every Friday in jail. She is doing her time teaching a film studies class to men in a housing module for veterans at the Vista Detention Center. Her class, Inside-the-Reels is now entering its second year as part of the Veterans Moving Forward program, which offers the incarcerated men services such as counseling, anger management, art classes, yoga and writing, and art classes. “It has been life-changing,” Fink said of her two, two-hour classes held every Friday since last January. “I’m delighted to have the privilege to be affiliated with this unbelievable program.” Fink entered the prison world 20 years ago, when she was a volunteer with the San Diego Juvenile Court Book Club, serving as its president for five years. She served as a substitute teacher at the Kearny Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility for 10 years. Five years ago she was looking for a change and applied to become a substitute for adults at the Vista Jail. Fink said she has a soft spot in her heart for prisoners. “I see them differently than I think a lot of people, although I certainly know that they are on the wrong side of the law,” Fink said. “In my experience, the majority of the people have had very, very tough lives and you have to understand that to know where they’re coming from. It doesn’t excuse the things that they do but a lot of them are survivors of very, very tough lives. They’ve had bad family lives and less opportunities than a lot of people” Fink came up with the idea of the film studies class after one of her students told her about the

veterans’ unit—it was a wake-up call, she had no idea there were so many veterans in the jail system. “I have a great respect for veterans and I had been trying to find a way to thank them for their service and had never found the right one,” Fink said. She admired the Veterans’ Module in the Vista Jail founded by program director Glendon Morales, and how it allows the inmates to get re-balanced and re-focused and fostered a strong sense of camaraderie and a brotherhood within the unit. As Fink serves as the co-chair of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, she is deeply involved in film, viewing about 360 movies a year. She pitched the idea of a film studies class to Morales and he gave her an enthusiastic two thumbs up to get started. Fink’s hopes for the class are that not only could it give the men a reprieve and a chance to think critically, but also it would give them new and interesting things to talk about with others in their unit and with their family and friends. Also, it lends them a tool for re-entry, so they have something in their pocket to discuss when they get out, a way to socialize and not feel awkward in conversations. In the class, Fink uses a lot of foreign films, Sundance films and Oscar winners, documentaries and some art-oriented films that they might have never seen otherwise. One of the first films her class watched was the French comedy, “Intouchables.” It is one of her favorite films and she was thrilled when an inmate thanked her for showing it to them. “He said, ‘We haven’t laughed this much as a

group in I don’t know how long,’” Fink said. The class has watched and discussed films such as “Chef,” “Foxcatcher,” “American Sniper,” “Imitation Game”— the month of October last year was dedicated to Alfred Hitchcock, which had the men watching a documentary about the famed director, as well as screening his most notable features such as “North by Northwest.” During one session they had a guest speaker from the movie “One Revolution”— paraplegic skier Chris Waddell, who became the first nearly unassisted Christina Fink paraplegic to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. Through donations from friends and cleaning out her own DVD collections, she has also made a big contribution to the unit’s film collection, which has a better selection than the jail’s lending library. She has placed posters on the wall of the films they have viewed along with movie quotes. “I have absolutely never felt threatened,” Fink said of her time in jail. “When people think of the criminals, their mind immediately goes to the dark side of who they are. What I see is the complete opposite. I see normal men who are inquisitive, polite and respectful. They are so well-mannered and courteous.” She can’t take paper clips, pens or pencils into

the jail, leaves her cell phone behind for the day and she doesn’t ask about the men’s personal information. She always dresses nicely for class, not shying away from wearing jewelry and Chanel No. 5. Fink said it’s important for her to dress up because it demonstrates the respect she has for the men, for the program and what she’s doing. Fink said she thinks of herself as a bit of an ambassador for the men, speaking out for a population many do not know exists. She feels a strong calling to raise awareness for the plight of veterans, how many come home and face struggles with depression, substance abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and “heartbreakingly,” many end up in jail. According to 2013 statistics, there are approximately 700,000 incarcerated veterans in the U.S. jail and prison system, roughly 10 percent of the prison population. “It’s a big calling and it’s a tough one because it’s not going to go away,” Fink said. “I want to raise a sympathetic flag of community awareness that these veterans need our help.” She said she hopes everyone can find something in their world that they can do to help veterans, whether it’s a job slot or a way of supporting a veteran’s family. For Fink, she is doing her small part, spending her Fridays in jail watching films and helping to raise the bar of discussion and critical thinking. “My hope is when they leave they’re not leaving as the same man when they entered. It’s a lofty goal but I hope it works,” Fink said. “As a nation, we have got to all come up with something to thank them. Think of something you can do to help our veterans coming home.”

REMINDERS OF LOVE

Family therapist creates book, plush toy with heart

Nancy Fagan

PHOTO BY DANIEL K. LEW

BY LINDA HUTCHISON In these uncertain times, we turn to family more than ever for support and to reassure our most vulnerable members — our children — that they are safe. But what if a parent is not there and unable to provide what’s needed? Can a storybook and stuffed toy help out? For former marriage and family therapist and divorce mediator Nancy Fagan, the answer is a passionate “Yes!” In the past year she has written “Fables of Fairy Good Heart: A Parent’s Love Lasts Forever,” and created its companion — a plush, comforting toy called Fairy Good Heart. The fables and Fairy Good Heart are tools for opening up communication, Fagan said.“Fables offer lessons to be learned and communicated to a lot of people,” she explained. In her book, the first in a series, Fagan tells the story of a young girl whose parents are divorcing. The story offers reassurances that even though her mother and father have stopped loving each other, they will not stop loving her.

“It’s a way to talk to children,” she said. “The character in the book is typical and so it’s easy to talk about such characters and thus feelings.” The Fairy Good Heart toy offers an additional layer of comfort. It includes a “Parent Pocket” for notes and photos. Fagan plans future books to cover other ways in which parents are not available to their children, such as business trips and mental or physical illness, including addiction. “Some parents are physically available, but not emotionally,” Fagan said, adding that she’s writing the next storybook for children whose parents are in the military and deployed. For Fagan, the books and toys are just the tip of her “cause to help,” as she describes it. Her website (fairygoodheart.com) is rich with resources for children, parents and therapists. Drawing on her experience as a therapist, mediator, author and commentator (she writes frequently for The Huffington Post), she incorporates her knowledge of communication

techniques, family dynamics and conflict resolution into her essays. Her website also includes links to many other helpful websites, articles, apps, games and videos — all geared to supporting parents and children and fostering communication. The idea for Fairy Good Heart emerged from both Fagan’s personal and professional experience. Divorced when her son was 5, she encouraged him to share his feelings, especially when he told her he felt like he had a line down his middle — one half angry and one half sad. Both parts needed to be acknowledged and talked about. As a successful divorce mediator, she also saw the need for guidelines. “People asked me what they should say, to give them words, so I began to hand out written guidelines.” Remarried (her son is now 26 and recently married), Fagan adds that some adults are also being comforted by Fairy Good Heart. One therapist gave it to a lonely 91-year-old woman to help her feel cared about and others are giving it to friends who are going away.

‘The Special Guests’ dream big at America’s Got Talent auditions in SD The hit TV show America’s Got Talent was here in sunny San Diego holding auditions last week for their 11th season. The convention center was alive and jumping with hundreds of people auditioning for the show which will air on television in the summer of 2016. One of the local rock bands from Carmel Valley, “The Special Guests,” took their talent downtown early one morning and waited for the opportunity to play a 90-second short Led Zeppelin medley for the America’s Got Talent production team. The members of the band consist of the brother and sister duo of Cole Parker on guitar and Paige Parker on the keyboard who both share in lead vocals. Drumming for the band for this special event was the gifted Kian Abulhosn, and A.J. Morgan rounded out the group with some serious grooves on the bass guitar. Each of them live in Carmel Valley and study music at The Rockademy in Solana Beach where they practice weekly and spend their weekends performing around town at wellknown local events and restaurants such as The Kids Expo, The Del Mar Fair, House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafe, and Petco Park’s Winter Wonderland. As contestants for America’s Got

Talent, the band spent the day meeting people with interesting talents, playing music with other musicians trying out for the show, and learning the ropes of what it entails to film and produce a hot television show. It was an awesome experience for the band who are all 13 or younger with big dreams for their future. Writing music, recording music, and performing are their passions and as America’s Got Talent emphasizes," Don’t forget, America’s Got Talent is open to Any Age, Any Talent, ANY DREAM!"

Author mines her cultural background in new novel

Gowda to speak at RSF Library Guild event Feb. 4

BY JOE TASH In writing her new novel, "The Golden Son," bestselling author and local resident Shilpi Somaya Gowda reached into her own cultural background for material. And she had plenty to work with — Gowda's parents were Indian immigrants who settled in Toronto, Canada, where she was born. Although she was a Canadian resident and citizen, her home life was steeped in Indian culture, from the language, to food and movies. Then, as a young adult, she moved to the United States, where she attended college, began a career in business, met her husband and started a family. "I feel as if I belong to a lot of different places," said Gowda, who will give a reading and talk about her new book at a luncheon set for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The event is sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, and is open to the public. Advance reservations are required. "The Golden Son," which will be available in U.S. bookstores on Jan. 26, tells a tale of two childhood friends who are separated as adults, but later are reunited. Like Gowda's first book, "Secret Daughter," the new novel is set in both India and the United States. One of the main characters, Anil, leaves India to study medicine and work as a doctor in Dallas, Texas, where Gowda lived with her family before they moved to Rancho Santa Fe. His friend, Leena, gets married and moves to a distant village. One aspect of the book is an Indian tradition in which a village elder, generally a male, is given the responsibility of settling disputes among his neighbors, in a sort of impromptu tribunal. In the past in rural areas, said Gowda, the panchayat, or council of five, consisted of five older men who would rule on anything from divorces to family disputes, in place of a formal judiciary system. Gowda said she grew up hearing stories about this practice, in which her own male relatives participated "I thought this was a really fascinating concept," she said. In the book, Anil returns home to India and is thrust into the role of arbiter before he has the wisdom or experience to

handle the job. Another theme is the sense of not belonging anywhere, which some immigrants experience. In her book, Gowda wrote of Anil, after his return to India: "Not only was it impossible to truly belong in America, but he didn’t fit here anymore. He was a dweller of two lands, accepted by none." Gowda said she can relate to such feelings because she grew up in a neighborhood in Toronto where there were no

other Indian families, and she also worked in the male-dominated field of investment banking after college. But time and life experience have helped her find a sense of belonging, she said. "Now I can find a happy fusion for myself," she said. "For the most part I've grown through (those feelings) as the character does." Gowda said she had always wanted to try her hand at writing, and she decided start her first novel because it was a portable occupation, during a period when her family moved to different U.S. cities for her husband's job as a private equity investor. Both of her books have enjoyed success ("The Golden Son" was released last fall in Scandinavia and Canada). Writing "grew and became something I can do as my career," she said. Writing also has the flexibility to complement her duties as the mother of two girls, ages 9 and 12. Being a mom, she said, gives her a break from the solitary confines of her writing desk and "helps keep me balanced and sane." She also balances the different parts of her cultural background. Although she has spent most of her adult life in the United States, she and her husband and children love to go back to India to visit relatives. "There's a lot of cheek-pinching for the children," she said. She's also starting to research her third novel, and consulting with the production companies that have purchased the film rights to "Secret Daughter" and "The Golden Son," although she's not sure when, or if, those films will be produced. Anyone interested in attending Gowda's talk at the Golf Club can call (858) 756-4780, or go online to www.rsflibraryguild.org to make a reservation, by Monday, Feb. 1, said Susan Appleby, the Library Guild's development and membership manager. The $65 ticket price includes lunch and a signed copy of the book. Premium seats are available for $85.

River Valley Conservancy receives Carmel Valley flute studio students shine at national and local levels $5,000 grant from Solana Beach The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy has received a $5,000 grant from the City of Solana Beach that will provide local students the opportunity to participate in the Conservancy’s new Watershed Explorers Program in partnership with the San Dieguito River Park, San Diego Archaeological Center and Volcan Mountain Foundation. The City of Solana Beach Community Grant provides one-time seed money to augment new or unique community programs that serve the residents of Solana Beach. Greg Wade, city manager, said, "On behalf of the City Council, the City is pleased to award the full $5,000 grant request to the San Dieguito River

Valley Conservancy for their Watershed Explorers Program. The excellent environmental stewardship programs they provide for our community, especially the children, are a perfect fit for the goals and values of our City." Watershed Explorers is an outdoor education program that allows students to experience and learn about the cultural and natural resources of the San Dieguito watershed. The explorers start their journey at the headwaters of the San Dieguito River on Volcan Mountain, then head west, visiting sites at Lake Sutherland, the San Diego Archaeological Center, Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead/Lake Hodges and finally, the award-winning Birdwing Open Air Classroom at the San Dieguito Lagoon.

CV resident named Chief of Staff at Scripps La Jolla

The physicians at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla have elected anesthesiologist Richard Unger, M.D., as the new chief of staff of the 444-bed campus, which includes the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute. Unger took over as head of the 975-member physician team on Jan. 1. During his two-year term, Unger will serve as medical staff liaison to Scripps La Jolla’s administrative staff and Scripps Health’s board of directors. He will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvement in the delivery of health care services to the more than 113,000 patients cared for each year at the hospital. He succeeds outgoing Chief of Staff M. Jonathan Worsey, M.D. "Dr. Unger brings strong leadership and communication skills to his new position," said Gary Fybel, the hospital’s chief executive. "He will continue his passionate support for his colleagues and the world-class care that they deliver to patients every day." Unger has been a member of the medical staff at Scripps La Jolla since 1987 and has held numerous medical staff leadership positions including chairman of anesthesiology, and has been a member of many committees including those for

physician wellbeing and ethics. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia. He served his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and residency in anesthesiology at the University of California, San Diego. He is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Anesthesiology. Unger’s medical interests include the prevention of postoperative delirium, also known as ICU psychosis, a psychiatric condition in some patients that may be linked to the mix of medications used for surgery and post-operative sedation. He is also interested in the prevention of postoperative cognitive dysfunction through the use of new medications that prevent the body’s natural fight-or-flight response. Born in Richmond, Va., Unger was raised in San Francisco and now lives with his wife in Carmel Valley. The couple has three grown children and four granddaughters. Unger is an avid fan of the Cal Bears; he plays golf regularly; and he competes at a national level in bridge, which he started playing as a child with his parents. More info at scripps.org.

Grauer School leader's book celebrates teaching Book-signing to be held Jan. 21 BY JOE TASH After 42 years of working as a teacher and school administrator, Stuart Grauer figures he has learned a few things — among them that large schools with hundreds or thousands of students, where the focus is on test scores and homework grades, are not the most conducive places for high student achievement. Rather, the best places for learning, according to Grauer, 65, who founded and heads an independent private middle and high school in Encinitas, are those where students feel safe and connected, and values such as kindness, compassion, perseverance and courage are emphasized. On Jan. 1, Grauer published a new book that he intends to celebrate the teaching profession, and the stories of teachers from around the globe that he has found to be inspirational. "Fearless Teaching" is available on Amazon.com, and at some local bookstores. "That's what I'm writing about. I'm going around the world and finding communities where these values are alive," said Grauer, who founded The Grauer School in 1991 in a storefront in an Encinitas shopping center. Today, the school has 150 students in grades 7 through 12, and its own campus on South El Camino Real. The school is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2016. The book includes 33 stories of teachers working in a variety of settings, from Africa to

Author and educator Stuart Grauer. American Indian reservations to the Pacific Islands. The common denominator, he said, is that the teachers in his book are working in environments that enable them to develop deep personal connections with their students. "Teaching is the study of the student," he said, something that is lost when talented and dedicated teachers are part of large school systems where as many as 50 percent of the employees are not working in the classroom. Grauer, who subscribes to the "small school movement," advocates moving control of school districts — and education funding — away from Washington, D.C. and Sacramento, and back to local communities. Referring to his new book, Grauer said,

"When you read these stories you cannot help but think, wow, I'm in a real cool field. I'm a teacher. Let's reclaim that." One story in "Fearless Teaching" is about the Hadza, a tribe of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania. "World over, most schooling emphasizes accountability, meaning that the will and free spirit of a fair number of our youth are drummed out of them over years of mandatory sitting in rows for hours every day and ranking the value of each based fundamentally upon how compliant they are with our requirements and standards," Grauer wrote. "Hadza children are subject to no such competitions or judgments. They merely play. Through mimicry of their elders, they care for

infants, build huts and tools, make fires, defend against make-believe predators, and tell stories. If their parents have quarreled, they may rehash it the next day in playful mimicry. Suicide and anxiety are incomprehensible. They learn to stay alive and healthy naturally," he wrote. Students need free time and outdoor play, which in many cases has been replaced with test preparation sessions, Grauer said. That doesn't mean he is against testing. "I love tests," he said. "It's like doing pushups, exercising the mind in different ways." But test scores should be used to help teachers better understand students and their needs, rather than for determining how tax money is spent, or how teachers are paid, he said. The rules imposed by large, bureaucratized school systems put teachers in a tough position, Grauer said. "Today's teachers have to be willing to risk their job to listen to and support students," he said. "If they don't keep drilling through the required, standardized program, they're probably going to get fired." According to Grauer, the ideal size for a school is probably no more than 250 students, and definitely below 400. Students benefit by mixing with different age groups, he said, and they must feel both physically and emotionally safe. "When you achieve this, you have what you need to really get high performance," he said. Grauer will do a reading and book-signing at Warwick's book store in La Jolla at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21.

Surgeon expands charitable surgery with ConnectMed International BY ASHLEY MACKIN While a heartfelt thanks and admiration is in order for those who perform surgeries on children with birth defects and/or injuries in underserved countries, La Jolla surgeon Amanda Gosman has found a way to take treatment a few steps further. Gosman has worked with UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital for the better part of 10 years. She has been UCSD’s director of craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery since 2006, and joined Rady Children’s Hospital as program director of the craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery fellowship in 2013. Putting her expertise to good use, Gosman founded a 501(c)3 called ConnectMed International in 2010, which uses “tele-medicine” to provide much-needed follow-up and pre-operative assessments to those in other countries who undergo surgery to repair cleft palates, burns or other injuries, as well as provide ongoing educational partnerships with their healthcare providers. “Here in San Diego, when we treat someone with a cleft palate, we provide them with ongoing care using a whole team approach, including orthodontists, speech therapists, audiologists, psychologists and follow-up examinations. We have a team of 10 people who focus on these different areas,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is replicate that experience in other parts of the world.” Although carried out with good intentions, Gosman said the lack of follow-up after performing surgery on those with birth defects or injuries can cause complications later on. “When surgeons go international, they might fix a cleft palate, but don’t always see how these kids do in the long run. For example, speech therapy is critical for those with repaired cleft palates, and while these countries might have trained surgeons, they might not have

Using tele-medicine in the form of live video conferencing or exchange of video files, physicians with expertise in needed fields from the United States can connect with medical teams in countries where those resources are limited or not available. She said she and her team have studied whether there is a difference in outcome with speech therapy care via tele-medicine or in person, and haven’t found any. As an added bonus, Gosman said this type of international outreach is a “great opportunity” for UCSD students. “Medical students in training can learn about using technology and treating international patients, which also helps get them interested in humanitarian work,” she said. “We have had students come together for tele-conferences to talk to a group of patients or

Born in Louisiana but raised in Ohio, Gosman started her international exploration with a trip to Guatemala and the Amazon to assist on a mobile surgical truck. “That was my first exposure to tele-medicine. We were able to screen patients in advance and follow up, even though it was just through radio at that time,” she said. “I learned about medical disparities throughout the world.” For years, Gosman traveled the world, performing surgeries on those in need, but the lack of follow-up always bothered her. Her first-hand experience

prompted the formation of ConnectMed International. Now, she is looking to the future of ConnectMed and how to improve services even further. “We’re working on developing a tool to measure outcomes and changes in quality of life following a procedure. But they need to be developed with appropriate language for difference cultures and languages, so we’re developing one in English and in Spanish so patients can report quality of life changes, which is one of the most important components and a lot of our justification for doing surgery,” she said. “We get to use technology to overcome a lot of international barriers and strengthened a lot of medical systems.”

CultureShock, a non-profit based in San Diego, recently sold out all four shows in its 3rd annual version of what Director Angie Bunch calls, "... a Nutcracker you have never seen before... it's based on the same original Tchaikovsky's score but with today's popular songs and centered around pop-culture and hip-hop..." The 3rd annual event was held at the historic Speckles Theater in downtown San Diego and had over 200 performers from the local area, including Torrey Pines Varsity Dance Captain Brianna Haire playing the lead as Clara. Brianna earned national notoriety at age 12 winning Lifetime's reality TV show "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" developed from the producers of Dance Moms, where she won the grand prize of $100,000 and was crowned "Champion of Season One." Brianna is currently on tour with the Pulse Productions, when she's not juggling five AP classes at Torrey as a junior

swore last week’s column would be the last I’d write about San Dieguito Union High School District’s overly charitable labor contract approved last month. Then on SDUHSD’s Jan. 14 board agenda I read the action item to give other district employees the same generous raises teachers just received. Although expected, it was still frustrating to see it in print. "There are three groups of employees who are not represented in the collective bargaining process (supervisory, confidential and administration)," reads the executive summary. "The administration has a responsibility to recommend salaries for non-represented groups that are both competitive and within the district’s ability to fund." The administration "has a responsibility" to

recommend salary increases for itself? Kafka would love this. The board report was prepared by associate superintendent for human resources Torrie Norton, who – along with SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt and associate superintendent for administrative services Jason Viloria – negotiated the teachers’ deal, as Schmitt says, on behalf of the taxpayers. Negotiated the deal on behalf of the taxpayers? That’s not really possible if everyone is pulling the same way on the rope. Schmitt, Norton and Viloria – as well as the other two associate superintendents, Mike Grove and Eric Dill – will all receive a 7 percent raise this year and a 5.5 percent raise for 2016-2017, same as the teachers. Schmitt and Bob Croft, head of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, like to heap abundant praise on

each other for the conflict-free, interest-based bargaining approach they used to reach this agreement. But as SDUHSD trustee John Salazar says, it should really be called "self-interest" based bargaining. Schmitt is right when he states that this is how other districts operate as well – the superintendent and human resources executives negotiate on behalf of taxpayers. And whatever raises are given to teachers are then given to the same staff members theoretically representing taxpayers. Because it’s commonly done does not make it even remotely acceptable. Schmitt’s current annual salary is $220,000. On July 1, 2016, the new contract awards him $248,347. Schmitt just had the board approve a contract for him last September, which appeared to lock in his pay rate for three years. "Effective July 1, 2015, the superintendent shall receive annual salary ($220,000) …" The contract was signed by the five board members Sept. 3, 2015 (it was not unanimous, by the way) and accepted by Schmitt on Sept. 8, 2015. "The term of this agreement shall be from July1, 2015 through June 30, 2018," the contract reads. But never mind that. Schmitt’s contract amendment, on the Jan. 14 board agenda, states in part that "the district and SEE SUTTON, A19

OUR READERS WRITE The One Paseo vote: A lesson in representation Statesmen like Edmund Burke insisted that the duty of a representative was not simply to communicate the wishes of the electorate, but to use their own judgment in exercising their powers, even if their views are not reflective of those of a majority of voters. The outcome of the Carmel Valley Planning Board vote on the revised One Paseo project, a 5-5 tie resulting in no recommendation to the City Council, illustrates the importance of that precept. Those who represent us at the community level are held to a high standard of judgment and decision-making, and those who would represent us in the Council to an even higher standard. The community did its part by expressing their wishes, including those who insisted One Paseo not go forward at all. It was then up to board members to apply their judgment in voting for the action that most benefitted the community.

The proposal achieved through a collaborative effort between the developer, community project adversaries and planning board members was unpopular with most of those attending. But reality is that a City Council committed to addressing a severe housing shortage and the need for higher densities will almost certainly approve it as a compromise incorporating substantial community participation. Just saying No -- or in this case no recommendation -- will not sway the Council any more than it did the first time. The board responsibility was to recognize that reality as Board President Frisco White and member Ken Farinsky did, and focus on attaching conditions to a recommendation that would address specific concerns like ensuring timely emergency service and increasing affordable housing. This would enable the Council to consider and incorporate those concerns in their project approval. That didn't happen, and an entire community may regret it. But greater responsibility falls on the candidates vying to be our next City Council member. One candidate, despite vocally supporting the

community from the start, remained silent with a decision on the line. Our Council representative must be able to look past popular sentiment and timely voice a position on difficult decisions. The other candidate, recognizing the inevitability of Council approving the compromise, set aside her own project opposition and risked losing popular favor to encourage the Planning Board to recommend the compromise, but with specific conditions that would enable the Council to address both city-wide needs and important community concerns. Both those who would represent us especially at the City Council level, and all of us who vote for them, should recognize as Burke did that a representative's duty is to exercise their judgment as opposed to reflecting or capitalizing on popular sentiment, and to timely speak out for the course that can achieve the best outcome for their community.

Superintendent’s monthly update

Superintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) community through local media with a monthly update. Topics may include academics, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on the healthy SDUHSD budget and reserves, class size, and High School Selection.

BY RICK SCHMITT SDUHSD Budget & Reserves Each January, we begin our budget planning for the next school year. As we entered the current school year, our projections indicated that, due to growth in state revenue and increased enrollment in our district, we would see our funding from the state increase over the next three years. At the mid-year point, all sources continue to indicate a healthy and stable outlook for our budget. SDUHSD has a long history of effective and fiscally conservative budgeting and maintenance of healthy reserves and, as we move into 2016 and beyond, we will continue these prudent fiscal practices. In fact, SDUHSD currently has the highest reserves in its long history. Due to our strategic fiscal planning and effective collaboration with district employees, even during the recent state economic downturn, SDUHSD was still able to increase student achievement year over year, retain all of our instructional and extra-curricular programs, and add elective choices for students, all while maintaining reasonable class size averages. The improvement in per-student funding in our multi-year projection has allowed us to continue to expand programs, offer increased scheduling and course options at our schools, and attract

and retain highly-qualified teachers and staff. Our business is to prepare for the future. It happens every day in every classroom and it happens as we manage our resources. We thrived by every fiscal and academic measure during the recession thanks to careful planning both before and during the downturn. We will build upon our successes as we develop and support our outstanding educational program for next school year and beyond. Class Size I want to take this opportunity to clear up any confusion regarding district class size averages that may exist as a result of a handful of community members recently misrepresenting to our community that class size averages in SDUHSD were going to increase. The District has, and will remain, focused on keeping class size averages as low as possible. In reality, our teachers and students have recently experienced some of the lowest class sizes in a decade as a result of our district’s significant investment in reducing class size averages. The new district contract class size language was simply updated and clarified last month and did not make any change to class size averages as a few would lead you to believe. This new contract language helped provide clarity regarding how the staffing ratio actually equates to class size averages as our teachers teach multiple classes each day. All nine of our comprehensive schools are staffed equitably regardless of their respective bell schedules. The formula used to determine the total number of teachers for each site does not include the additional funding the District has provided to sites specifically to lower class size. Over the last two years, the district, working closely with the San Dieguito

Faculty Association, has spent in excess of $3 million in additional funds to continue to reduce class size averages across the district as well as to provide additional support classes like AVID and College Readiness as well as math support and other academic programs. High School Selection We will begin our annual High School Selection process for the 2016-17 school year on Feb. 1. Each incoming 9th grade student is required to select the high school he or she would like to attend in the 2016-17 school year. The High School Selection window closes at 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 29. Current SDUHSD 8th grade students who make no high school selection will be automatically enrolled in their school of residence (LCCHS or TPHS). Students already enrolled in SDUHSD high schools need not make a high school selection for 2016-17 unless they want to change schools. If more students apply for enrollment in a school than capacity can accommodate, the district will conduct a random lottery to determine which students are enrolled. While, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that every student will get into his or her first choice school for 2016-17, SDUHSD remains committed to doing our absolute best to enroll as many students as possible in their first choice school. Fortunately, this selection process has worked very successfully for almost all our students and we have a history of success with this effort. For more information on 2016-17 high school enrollment, please click here. You can follow Superintendent Schmitt on Facebook, (https://www.facebook.com/sduhsd), and Twitter, (https://twitter.com/SDUHSD_Supt).

The Nativity School to hold annual Open House/tours Jan. 25-29 On Monday, Jan. 25 through Friday, Jan. 29, The Nativity School in Rancho Santa Fe will host Open House tours for preschool-eighth grade families from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Parents and students will be able to meet the school's principal, Margaret Heveron, the friendly and inviting teachers, and explore the beautiful campus and classrooms to see firsthand teachers and students in action. The Nativity School provides three key features to each family: Small class sizes, stimulating curriculum enhanced by specialists, and a dedicated Catholic community. The Nativity School is dedicated to providing a challenging educational environment, as well as developing the moral judgment and decision making skills nurtured in the school's Catholic values. The school's philosophy of education, based on the Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner, is the foundation that cultivates the intellect of each student. This philosophy promotes the sound spiritual, social, emotional, and physical growth of its students. The Nativity School uses Schoolwide Learning Expectations as a framework for establishing overall

goals for student growth and achievement. The rich and challenging curriculum of the core subjects Religion, Language Arts, math, reading, science, and social studies, are enhanced with specialized curriculum in Spanish, technology, art, music, and physical education. Technology is available to all students in every classroom, and is infused into the curriculum to support and enhance the learning process. The Nativity School opened its doors in September 1996 as an integral part of The Church of the Nativity. The addition of the school represented phase two of the master plan of the parish, and its commitment to serving the spiritual, academic, emotional and physical needs of Catholic families.

Supervisor Roberts elected to national leadership post

The County of San Diego has gained an experienced voice in Washington, DC with the election of Supervisor Dave Roberts to the National Association of Counties’ Board of Directors. The vote recently by California State Association of Counties’ executive committee was unanimous. "I am honored to have been selected and I look forward to representing California at the national level," Roberts said.

FROM SUTTON, A18 superintendent now desire to amend the agreement in order to adjust the superintendent’s salary in a manner consistent with salary increases recently received by other certificated employees…" Agreements are also modified for all four associate superintendents (Dill, Grove, Norton and Viloria), who are currently paid an annual salary of $162,265 but will be bumped up to $195,466 on July1. Wording as follows: "Effective July1, 2015, the associate superintendent shall receive an annual salary of $175,000 and $2,929 in longevity benefits. Effective January 1, 2016, the associate superintendent shall receive an annual salary of $185,276 and $2,929 in longevity benefits. Effective July 1, 2016, the associate superintendent shall receive an annual salary of $195,466 and $3,090 in longevity benefits." Also receiving the same percentage raises are principals, assistant principals, directors, managers, coordinators, supervisors … etc. etc. etc. A chart provided by Associate Superintendent of Business Services Eric Dill shows that the total cost for this new batch of personnel raises for management will be $599,344 in 2015-2016 and $546,814 in 2016-2017 – so about $550,000 per year going forward. The cost just for the salary increases for the four associate superintendents and Schmitt, according to Dill’s chart, is $72,921 in 2015-2016 and $64,305 in 2016-2017. The new salary structures were approved 3-2 – trustees Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman in favor, and trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar opposed. Non-management classified employees are next in line for similar increases. It’s a broken system, to be sure. *********** Last week’s column included this information, obtained several weeks ago from Schmitt, about the district’s diminishing reserve levels: "Reserve levels after factoring in the new contract are projected to be 18 percent at the end of 2016, 13 percent at the end of fiscal year 2017, and 10.4 percent at the end of fiscal 2018, Schmitt said." This seemed rather alarming, so I asked Schmitt to repeat the numbers to be sure I noted them correctly. There was some confusion, however, at the Jan.14 board meeting about that 10.4 percent figure, but Schmitt in a Jan.15 email confirmed that he gave me that estimate. "I do remember the discussion," he wrote, but said the numbers have since changed. The district is now correcting itself. "With the governor’s 2016 budget news last week, we are anticipating more income, and therefore our multi-year ending balances should increase," he said. At the Jan. 14 board meeting, Dill stated that the reserve levels at the end of 2018 are projected to be 13 percent, not10.4 percent. As of deadline for this column, he had not provided estimates for reserve balances for the end of years 2016 and 2017. Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Correction In a story that ran recently on the Salk Music Series, the phone number for tickets had an incorrect number on its extension. The correct number should be 858-453-4100, ext. 2098.

FROM MARIJUANA, A1 adopted new rules or strengthened ordinances already in place to maintain local control and ensure that the cultivation of medical marijuana and medical marijuana dispensaries won’t be allowed in their communities. “You’re reacting to something very important, before the state imposes

something with regard to this marijuana issue, on this city,” said former Mayor Joe Kellejian, He was among five speakers who asked the council to approve the ban. The state passed a series of bills in September, collectively referred to as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, that established a licensing system for medical marijuana cultivation, delivery and dispensing activities throughout the state.

Cities that don’t have rules in place by March 1 will be subject to state guidelines. In November 2012, Solana Beach voters defeated a citizens initiative that would have allowed medical marijuana dispensaries in the city. Faced with the state’s new laws, the council on Dec. 9 directed city staff to prepare an ordinance prohibiting medical marijuana cultivation, deliveries and dispensaries in Solana Beach.

The ordinance is intended to regulate commercial activities. Under California Senate Bill 420, also known as the Medical Marijuana Program Act, patients will still be able to drive to an authorized dispensary in another city and bring medical marijuana back to their homes in Solana Beach. Primary caregivers will also still be able to transport and deliver medical marijuana to their patients.

FROM ONE PASEO, A1 project to be more compatible and acceptable to the community,” White said. “Nevertheless, One Paseo to some will never be accepted or desired, but we must understand that a development of some sort will be constructed on the site and that we must, at times, reach a decision that will be beneficial.” The motion was supported by board members White, Ken Farinsky, Shreya Sasaki, Monique Chen and Christian Clews. Board members Anne Harvey, Jon Tedesco, Steve Davison, Debbie Lokanc and Chris Moore voted against the motion. “I don’t want to succumb to the pressure to do something just because it’s taken a long time to get to this point. We pushed back once and we got a reduced project,” Davison said. “Maybe we should push back again.” The board did vote unanimously to forward a letter to the city with 11 conditions for approval. Conditions included that the project not generate more than 14,000 average daily trips (ADTs), increase the affordable housing element to 20 percent, that Kilroy engage in serious dialogue for a public-private partnership to provide public transportation and that project mitigation requirements and community benefits are permit conditions. Jamas Gwilliam, vice president of Kilroy Realty, presented the revised project he said is “substantially different” than what was approved by City Council a year ago. He said since hitting the reset button in May, they created opportunities for engagement and involvement with the community that they believe resulted in the best possible plan. Kilroy gathered input from about 400 attendees at two summer community workshops and 5,000 visitors to their virtual workshop online provided an additional 200 comments. “We’re really excited about how this has taken shape,” Gwilliam said. The new One Paseo has reduced building heights and reduced the ADTs by half, from 27,000 to 13,500, which has resulted in a 40 percent reduction in density. Kilroy has increased setbacks around the site to a minimum of 30 feet, in some cases it is as much as 50 feet from Del Mar Heights Road, creating a buffer of a linear park. The 95,000 square feet of “highly-curated” retail will be located in a cluster of one-story buildings at the corner of El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights, blending into the surrounding neighborhood with use of materials such as stone and wood. The 608 residential units will be highly amenitized with rooftop lounges, a fitness center and a dog park. “There was a concern about a wall of residential units,” Gwilliam said, noting they have addressed that by softening the edges with landscaping, reducing heights and using architectural variations to increase the visual interest for the corner of Del Mar Heights and High Bluff Drive. The 280,000 square feet of office space will be four to six stories off of El Camino Real. Gwilliam said the intent is for the buildings to be the “siblings” of the office building Kilroy recently completed next door at The Heights. Gwilliam said they’ve taken care to enhance the landscaping, using mature trees such as olive and oak trees scattered throughout, and to create welcoming community spaces in the project’s plazas. “We want it to be a place to further enjoy what you already see in Carmel Valley,” Gwilliam said. The new One Paseo does not result in any new or more severe significant impacts that were not studied in the prior, certified Environmental Impact Report. The smaller project generally results in less environmental impacts and the city is preparing an addendum to the EIR to document that fact. According to city staff, there is no set release date for the

Renderings of One Paseo office buildings on El Camino Real (left) and a One Paseo plaza addendum but it will be available two weeks prior to the planning commission’s hearing, which is tentatively scheduled for the end of February. Gwilliam said during the workshops, it became clear that the previous project’s original mitigation of a 845-foot single right turn pocket on Del Mar Heights onto I-5 northbound was encroaching too much on the homes and they were asked to look at dual right turns instead. He said they are willing to implement the dual right turns. One of the planning board’s conditions is the requirement of one lane extending only to the AT&T building. Ten signals from Mango Drive to Lansdale Drive will feature traffic signal synchronization to help with the flow of cars. Gwilliam said this is not required mitigation but a project feature paid for by Kilroy. The upgraded system will feature emergency vehicle pre-emption technology to allow emergency vehicles to control all lights at once. As part of the project’s transportation management program, a shuttle will also provide an east-west connection on Del Mar Heights Road with a new connection to the Solana Beach Transit Center. Barbara Bry, a candidate for City Council District 1, said that she was in favor of the project. She said she considers it a triumph that Carmel Valley and the rest of San Diego pulled together to get City Council to rescind their previous approval and to work with the developer to create a better project that works for Carmel Valley. “Progress requires compromise,” Bry said, noting that she supports the project on the condition that there is an increase in the affordable housing element, a commitment to bringing public transit to Carmel Valley, and the establishment of an emergency response team west of I-5. Janie Emerson, president of the East Bluff Community Association, also shared her endorsement of the project, complimenting Kilroy on its willingness to be responsive to the community’s concerns. “This is truly a testament to what can happen when a community works together and finds solutions with a developer,” Emerson said. “I hope it sets an example for the rest of the city,” For the majority of people who spoke during public comment, the compromise and improvements were not enough. Many said they expected after the project went back to the drawing board it would be more drastically reduced. As presented, it is 1.2 million square feet, reduced from 1.4 million. Many in opposition said the new One Paseo was still too massive, out of character and would create “untenable” and “nightmare” traffic situations. They also expressed

concerns about the lack of public transit. “We don’t care about plants,” said neighbor Penny Davis of the enhanced landscaping. “Why do we need such a dense project that doesn’t fit this community at all? It’s wrong for Carmel Valley.” Supporters of One Paseo felt the compromises reached were fair and would result in a community benefit. “Personally, I love the updated design by Kilroy. The more options that I have to walk to places to eat and play, the happier I am as a person. Other people in the city would die to live in this community, don’t let the naysayers blow it for the rest of us,” said resident Jimmy Silverwood. “Live, work, play is the wave of the future and Carmel Valley needs to get on board.” As several public comments centered on how the project might impair emergency response time and cause loss of lives, one of the board’s conditions was that Kilroy work with the city on a rapid response team or shared fire station on the western side of I-5. The board also discussed transit concerns, with board member Chris Moore requesting Kilroy consider that its shuttle service the Sorrento Valley Coaster Station, as there is already bus service on Highway 101 but not on El Camino Real, the main route to Sorrento Valley Road. “I appreciate Kilroy’s new attitude and I think the project has improved tremendously but they started from a baseline that was still not fair,” board member Anne Harvey said of her vote against the project. “If you increase the zoning so much there really should be extraordinary benefits.” Board member Ken Farinsky said he was initially supportive of the project before becoming one of the most vocal advocates in opposition. “I hate to disappoint people but I have switched back to supporting the project,” Farinsky said. “Yes, the residential is a bit over the top but Kilroy worked hard to keep street frontages to a minimum so people across the street won’t see a five-story wall. Pragmatically, I need to approve this…It’s not perfect but I believe it’s something that I can live with.” In prefacing his “no” vote, board co-chair Jonathan Tedesco said he worried that the project will have an overwhelmingly negative impact on the things people value about living in Carmel Valley — safety, home values, school and family. “It was a thoughtful effort but it’s just not a project that I can get behind as presented,” Tedesco said. “We live here, we’ll be neighbors to this project,” Gwilliam said of Kilroy. “We have a vested interest in making sure it’s an asset to the community.”

www.delmartimes.net FROM BEER, A3 don’t think they occurred.” Owned by the McHugh Family Trust, the nearly 48,000-square-foot lot on San Dieguito Drive features a large commercial building with a floor area of approximately 15,510 square feet. The building houses several daytime tenants, including a private office used by the property owner, Del Mar Automotive, Del Mar Blueprint, Co’s Traffic Control, Rose Towing and RiverPath Chiropractic, which is currently under construction. Vigilante Brewing recently leased space for a 1,437 square-foot beer manufacturing facility, 900 square-foot beer tasting room and 2,471 square-foot restaurant with 589 square-foot kitchen. The building also features a 1,041 square-foot covered outdoor patio. As part of the applicant’s proposal, 101 square feet of the outdoor patio will be used for the tasting room before 6 p.m. on weekdays. However, after 6 p.m. on weekdays and all-day on the weekends, the restaurant will use the full patio, indoor dining area and kitchen. The site includes 47 parking spaces, of which 34 satisfy the off-street parking requirements for existing tenants. Vigilante Brewing will use the remaining 13 spaces available on site, in addition to the 24 shared use spaces authorized by the Planning Commission for a total of 37 spaces. “The DRB has done an amazing job with showing how the rules and

NORTH COAST - JANUARY 21, 2016 - PAGE A21

regulations have been written to protect the city and the community,” said the applicant, Del Mar resident Charles Koll. “I hold the community and the DRB at the highest regards. That is my highest priority because these are the people that I need to appease — my community and the DRB.” With concerns about the project, Corti asked that it be opened to the citizens’ participation program — a program created to gather community input on development proposals. However, two council members had to agree to call a public hearing, and only Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott supported the idea. “I’m not critical of staff as to how they did this; I’m not critical of the DRB as to how they handled the process,” Corti said. “I just don’t think that the community, specifically me as a neighbor, got a fair shot in reviewing this.” Koll plans to make improvements to the site, including the addition of a new wheelchair lift near the building entrance, outdoor patio lights and entry wall lights, two fire pits along the west edge of the outdoor patio, three roof-mounted exhaust fans, replacement windows, a new transformer and air conditioning unit, and the relocation of a portion of the chain-link fence on the east side of the Rose Towing storage yard. The project will also include an indoor stage and several interior improvements, which are exempt from design review. As required per the conditions of the

Design Review Board’s approval, Koll submitted an operations plan, outlining operational hours and noise mitigation measures. An appointed subcommittee of the Design Review Board reviewed and approved the plan on Dec. 23. According to the plan, the tasting room will be open from noon to 6 p.m. on weekdays. The restaurant and bar will be open from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on weekends. No exterior speakers or televisions will be installed on the outdoor patio. Additionally, only acoustic music, no amplified music, will be allowed on the interior stage at Vigilante Brewing. Koll also submitted a lighting plan, which the subcommittee found incomplete. It is currently being revised. “This is just the kind of project that the city should embrace,” said resident Julie Korsmeyer, who was among several speakers in support of the project. “This is a person that’s starting a business in the town where he grew up, and it’s in the neighborhood where he grew up, so he has an interest in making this work and making it compatible with the neighborhood.” Koll’s brother, Richard Koll, said Vigilante Brewing would be an asset to the community. “As a young professional, when I think about places to go, I don’t think about coming to Del Mar. That worries me, because this is my home,” he said. “That [Vigilante Brewing] is what Del Mar needs.”

FROM BEACH, A3

The fee is required as part of a Local Coastal Program, which the city has actively worked on since 2000. A Local Coastal Program regulates development in the coastal zone and is required by the California Coastal Act of 1976 to ensure coastal areas are used and developed according to statewide public objectives. Now that Solana Beach has an adopted Land Use Program, the city is finalizing its implementation plan. Once the plan is approved, the fully certified program will give the local government more control over coastal development. The comment period for the draft report was extended from Jan. 19 to Jan. 22. Comments must be submitted by 5 p.m. and should be directed to Bill Chopyk, the city’s community development director. Comments can be hand-delivered, mailed or emailed to the city. The city had not received any comments as of the Jan. 12 workshop. The final report will be presented to the council within the next few months. After council approval, it will be submitted to the Coastal Commission by April 29.

value of $2.34 million, or $3.99 per square foot for the 15.5 acres of beach that were considered in the report. The annual recreational value of the beach is increased to $2.7 million in 2015 dollars, up from $2.1 million in the 2010 fee study. The annual recreational value was $6.02 per square foot in the 2010 fee study. Based on the those numbers, the report recommended the recreation impact fee be $870 per linear foot for sea walls permitted in 2016. The 2010 fee study recommended the fee be $3,011 per linear foot. The amount increases each year until 2026, when the cost reaches $1,311 per linear foot. According to the consultants, the average sea wall in Solana Beach is 50 feet long, which would cost $43,500 in 2016 and $65,550 in 2026. With no permanent fee in place, the city has assessed seawall projects by collecting sand mitigation fees using the Coastal Commission’s methodology and by collecting $1,000 per linear foot of sea wall as a deposit toward the public recreation impact fee.

FROM RAISES, A1 a bit of sleep over it to ensure she was making the best decision for the community. “I realize that this is a lot of money and I want to make sure we’re spending it wisely so the district can continue to thrive,” Herman said. Herman said she considered if the district could afford it, whether it was fair and equitable and how it would impact students. She wanted to make sure that it would not increase class sizes or impact the ability to add or enhance programs and she was re-assured that was the case. “I believe we can afford this raise,” Herman said. “By giving them this increased compensation we’re showing them that we value their commitment and expertise and we will hopefully ensure stability to our district by retaining them.” SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said since she has been on the school board, the district has always been committed to being fiscally conservative and exercising responsible use of its funding. Dalessandro said the district went into the last recession with a healthy reserve and was able to stay the course without cutting programs or handing out “pink slips by the fistful” as other districts had to do. With planning and careful budgeting she said they arrived on the other side of the recession even healthier through, thanks to the leadership, collaboration, dedication of

its staff. “We expect a great deal of our San Dieguito team, they work very hard and they deliver. Standards and expectations are high and they deliver,” Dalessandro said. “They are really good at their jobs, experts in their fields and we, as an entire community, are very fortunate to have such a talented and effective team and they deserve the very best that we can afford to give them.” The crowd of teachers who were there to support the staff erupted into applause at both Herman and Dalessandro’s comments. “Well, I have some things to say and I don’t think you will all are going to want to applaud as much,” trustee Salazar said, prefacing his comments. Salazar said he wanted everyone to understand that Superintendent Rick Schmitt signed a three-year contract in which he agreed to work for the salary in the contract. Despite the agreement, just a few months ago the board voted to add another year to his contract before it was up. He said he didn’t think it was fiscally responsible to be giving Schmitt a raise and said it wasn’t “prudent or good business” to add a year to a contract every year. “The district and the taxpayers had a deal and I’d like to just live up to my deal,” Salazar said. Hergesheimer said that Schmitt did not ask to extend his contract, that it came from her as the president of the board.

“(Contract extensions have) been practice. It’s actually been quite accepted and recommended that in order to show a vote of confidence, which I have in our staff and our leadership, that we extend contracts,” Hergesheimer said. Salazar stated that it’s not just him that has concerns about fiscal reliability of the district, referencing a comment from Governor Jerry Brown last week that the state is overdue for another recession— Brown said although the treasury is overflowing now the state could face a $43 million deficit by 2019-20. Salazar said Brown also stated that he is not going to support the extension of Proposition 30, which pays billions of dollars into education. Prop 30 is due to expire in 2018. “Look, I didn’t run for school board so that I could be the bad person who didn’t give people raises,” Salazar said. “I’m just saying, we gave the teachers an enormous raise. We don’t have enough money…our reserves are going down.” Salazar said he is concerned about an estimate that reserves will be at 10 percent in two years and that’s before the raises that were voted on last month and Jan. 14. “Our reserves will just barely be above the state minimum. And maybe nothing will happen. Maybe everything will be fantastic, rainbows do happen. If a recession happens we’re going to see two things happen. I think we’re going to see teacher layoffs and we’re going to see class sizes explode, there’s

no other way to do it,” Salazar said. “Those are my concerns. It’s not that I’m being mean or unfair or don’t respect or don’t care — I feel like Superintendent Schmitt has a contract and I believe everybody else that’s in the managerial positions have a salary that we can afford to pay at this time.” Hergesheimer said she has also asked questions about reserves and she believes they will be in the teens (10 percent and up), and that’s being conservative. As Schmitt noted, the multi-year budget projections are unofficial at this time and will be revised in early February. With growth in state revenue and increased enrollment, Schmitt said they expect to see their funding increase from the state. He said that the district is in a “healthy and stable” position and is maintaining a healthy level of reserves, some of the highest in the district’s history. “Even if we have an economic slowdown we have a team in place that knows how to navigate any downturn,” Schmitt said, noting that during the last recession reserves dipped to 6 percent and the district was able to weather the storm without any layoffs. “I believe that the reserves are in a good place,” Hergesheimer said. “I have concerns about the reality now, about economic indicators that our staff and employees all have to live with in terms of what their cost of living and their reality is. Having had no raises for the length of time that they’ve had, it’s time for us to do some catch-up here.”

FROM CIVIC CENTER, A1 overflow space. The project also includes a 15,000-square-foot public plaza and up to 160 parking spaces in a two-level partially below-grade structure and surface lot. Throughout the design process architects from The Miller Hull Partnership updated their plans based on feedback from council and community members at meetings and workshops. Although an early concept drew concerns from some residents that the project was inconsistent with community character, many people who have long been involved in the process were pleased with the updated plans, which the council unanimously approved in November. Still, some residents who live near the project site continue to have concerns. The council certified the project’s environmental impact report at the Jan. 4 meeting, but deferred a decision on the required permits after hearing concerns from nearby neighbors and receiving a petition from some residents requesting the issue be continued to a later date. With concerns about light, noise, privacy and traffic, neighbors shared their problems with the project during recent workshops and the citizens’ participation program — a program created to gather community input on development proposals early in the design review process. They also brought their concerns before the Design Review Board on Dec. 16, when the board voted to recommend approval of the project with modifications to reduce impacts. Most of the light, noise and privacy concerns were addressed by the addition of a 10-foot wall and landscaping. The proposed traffic circulation plan, however, continued to be controversial. Despite the board’s recommended modifications, some residents again stressed their concerns during the Jan. 4 meeting, particularly their problems with the plan. 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. Additionally, an entrance and exit to and from the surface lot from 11th Street will be gated except during special events or to accommodate large vehicles. Access to the lot will be from inside the garage. 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 four-way

A rendering of Del Mar’s new civic center controlled stop sign, allowing drivers safer and easier access to Camino del Mar. Some neighbors, however, argued the ingress and egress between 10th and 11th streets should be balanced. A total of 63 residents signed a petition requesting balanced traffic flow on both streets. To try and resolve the traffic circulation concerns, city staff and council members Al Corti and Don Mosier, who serve on the city hall project subcommittee, met with neighbors on Jan. 7. A total of 11 property owners attended the meeting. According to a staff report, attendees agreed that exiting traffic should be redirected east toward Camino del Mar, traffic control plans should be prepared for large events when site parking is at capacity, and if there is going to be an egress onto 10th Street, it should be in a location opposite the central commercial zone. Additionally, a member of the public suggested that the 10th Street garage driveway be widened to allow ingress and egress, rather than just ingress, and to use traffic control measures to direct exiting traffic easterly to Camino del Mar on both 10th and 11th Street garage exits. The plan stated that the gated parking lot driveway on 11th Street, as conditioned by the Design Review Board, should be maintained, but not used for special event traffic. Instead, all special event traffic should exit through the garage onto 10th or 11th streets. A majority of the people in attendance of the meeting supported the plan, according to the staff report.

COURTESY OF THE MILLER HULL PARTNERSHIP

After a two-week delay, the council on Jan. 19 unanimously approved the project’s permits, including design review, costal development, land conservation and tree removal permits. Council members also approved the subcommittee’s traffic circulation plan recommendations, including the modification of the 10th Street garage driveway to allow egress for special events, with traffic control measures to direct traffic east to Camino del Mar. The council directed staff to work with consultants and study whether the the driveway should allow both ingress and egress at all times, not just during special events. Prior to the meeting, city staff and the subcommittee also better defined how the facilities will be used. During the planning process, many residents requested a facility that could accommodate the farmers market and community events. Some nearby neighbors, however, shared concerns surrounding how the facility will operate, specifically related to the special events that could take place at the site. To address some of these concerns, staff presented the framework for a special event plan for the new civic center complex, which will be brought back to the council for review and approval prior to the opening of the complex. The council on Jan. 19 already approved the recommended parameters for the plan, which outlined the types of events, event size and event hours, among other requirements for special events at the new civic center.

Enberg’s ‘McGuire’ brings beloved coach back to life Actor Cotter Smith transforms into the legendary sports figure BY KAREN BILLING “McGuire” returns to the North Coast Repertory Theater on Jan. 25 and Jan. 26, a play about Al McGuire the basketball coach, TV analyst and sportscaster Dick Enberg’s most admired friend and teacher. Enberg could share stories for hours about the “fascinating, complex, unique and vibrant” McGuire, many of which he poured into the play “McGuire.” To Enberg, McGuire watched life from behind the curtains as if he already knew life’s fill script. “We are Dorothys,” Enberg wrote in his autobiography “Oh My!”.“ He was the Wizard of Oz.” “I’ve been in this business 60 years and I’ve met a lot of sports greatness. But there has never been a character like Al McGuire,” Enberg said of McGuire, who died at the age of 72 in 2001 after a battle with leukemia. “He is the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met in my life.” The play is a tribute to McGuire and a way to bring him back to life with the actor Cotter Smith transforming into the legendary sports figure. “It’s not a play about basketball at all. It’s a play that features the wit and wisdom of a basketball coach,” Enberg said. “It’s about a man who saw what we don’t see

and at an angle that we don’t have.” Each night of the play will include a “talk back” after the show where Enberg will answer questions and share more memories about Al McGuire. He said there always seems to be someone in the audience who knew Al or has a McGuire story to add — bonus overtime insight on “a man of the unexpected.” Enberg said McGuire’s great attraction was his street wisdom. He had to scrape to get through the “barbed wire of life” and in doing so learned lessons that most never get to learn. McGuire often told people he could only read and write at a third grade level but Enberg said he knew it wasn’t true — he was sharp enough to get through St. John’s University, where he played basketball, went on to play in the NBA and took his first head coaching job at Belmont Abbey College. McGuire became head coach at Marquette University in 1964, winning the NCAA National Championship in 1977. Marquette had been the most unlikely champions that year--the last team invited to the tournament and McGuire had already announced his retirement at the end of the season. Enberg said McGuire’s coaching style was definitely as unique as the man — he recruited players differently than other coaches, he loved going after guys with broken asphalt in their front yards rather than grass. He would sometimes get in fights with players and his idea of coaching was to be a tough disciplinarian. A McGuire-ism: “If you don’t like my onion sandwiches, too bad.” When Enberg first met McGuire, covering a Marquette game for NBC in the early 1970s, he said quite frankly he didn’t like him at first, he found him rude. He met him again during the NCAA tournament, when Marquette was getting set to play North Carolina for the title. McGuire was typically evasive with the press, but Enberg was able to track him down after practice in

Dick Enberg Atlanta. McGuire took him outside the Omni Coliseum, where he laid on his back in the grass. “I started to ask him about strategy and an hour later I hadn’t gotten one thing on basketball but a chapter on life,” Enberg said, noting McGuire talked to him about everything from motorcycles to how much he loved his “kids,” his players. Enberg really got to know and understand McGuire when he became his broadcast partner, working alongside him for 10 years. When NBC decided to hire McGuire as a color commentator to serve with Enberg and Billy Packer, they treaded carefully at first because they knew he was

quite the colorful character, the first coach to be ejected from a championship game at the 1974 NCAA tournament. “They were wary because his language could be profane at times so they concocted this whole system where they put him in a room somewhere else in the arena. If he wanted to say something, he had to push a button,” Enberg recalled. “We’d say, ‘Let’s go to Al McGuire’ and by the time we did he’d be two plays behind. It seems almost ridiculous now.” Eventually McGuire made his way out of the room and onto the floor alongside Packer and Enberg. Working together and traveling to all those games, Enberg got a

heavy dose of McGuire — Enberg said he taught him so much about life. Enberg was raised in Michigan, where he had 33 kids in his graduating clas s— it was a huge contrast to McGuire’s life, growing up in Long Island, New York, living above a bar. McGuire worried people would take advantage of him. McGuire would tell Enberg, “You’re too trusting Dicksie,” warning him that somebody was going to have their hands on his wallet. “I said ‘Yeah Al, you’re going to be the one with the hand on my wallet,” Enberg recalls with a laugh. “He would throw out nuggets of life information,” Enberg said, noting many of those made their way into his play. Some of his favorites were: “Eat the banana,” meaning not to waste time and wait until the fruit turns brown, to take advantage of SEE ENBERG, B21

Exhibit sheds light on Chinese workers of Transcontinental Railway

La Jolla Cultural Partners

FROM UCSD REPORTS A new exhibit that tells the undocumented story of thousands of Chinese migrants, who played an instrumental role in the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railway in the 1860s, is on display through Feb. 29 in Geisel Library on UC San Diego campus. Produced by the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) and the Chinese Railroad Workers Project at Stanford University, “The Chinese and the Iron Road: Building the Transcontinental,” seeks to increase awareness and appreciation for the contributions of Chinese Americans. To celebrate the opening, a free, public reception will be held 3-5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22, in the Seuss Room in Geisel Library with remarks from organizers, including Murray Lee, Curator of Chinese American History for the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum. To make a reservation, visit http://lib.ucsd.edu/ironroad CHSA is continuing to collaborate with the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University (CRRW), which seeks to identifying descendants of railroad worker families to honor the memory and legacy of their pioneer forefathers. By sharing the stories of the descendants of known Chinese railroad workers who helped to build the American West, the initiative hopes to increase awareness and appreciation for the significant role the workers played in completing a monumental and life-changing project.

COURTESY OF THE KYLE WATT COLLECTION

The exhibit traces the laborious and often perilous four-year construction (1865-1869) of the U.S.’s first major east-west railroad, beginning with the bill signed by President Lincoln authorizing the undertaking. Some 12,000 Chinese laborers toiled at a grueling pace, and in extremely dangerous working conditions to help construct the railroad, which was actually two railways meeting in the middle — the Central Pacific from Sacramento to the east and Union Pacific from Omaha to the west.

This class will explore Impressionism from a new perspective, asking why these young avant garde artists were willing to sacrifice so much -- material comfort and professional approbation - in order to devise a radically new art. Four major Impressionist painters will be highlighted -- Edouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Claude Monet.

An innovator of West-Coast Pop and Conceptual Art, Ed Ruscha’s work defies and exceeds both categories, drawing upon popular media, commercial culture, and the landscape of Los Angeles. This tailored exhibition considers the artist’s use of recurring words, images, and themes across the decades. Join us for The Opening Night celebration on Friday, January 29, 2016 at 7 PM!

San Diego Musical Theatre will present ‘Ragtime,’ Feb. 5-21 at Speckels Theatre in downtown San Diego.

San Diego Musical Theatre salutes 10th year with ‘Ragtime’

BY MARTI GACIOCH In 2006, Erin and Gary Lewis founded San Diego Musical Theatre (SDMT) as a professional, non-profit, theater organization that produces Broadway musicals. To launch the company’s 10th anniversary season, the early 20th century-centered musical “Ragtime,” will take the Spreckels Theatre stage, Feb. 5-21. “Ragtime” chronicles the journeys of three very different New York families. “The characters include a determined Jewish immigrant, Tateh; a young Black Harlem musician, Coalhouse Walker Jr.; and Mother, a high-society wife,” explained Erin Lewis, SDMT art director. “Their story of merging together for a common purpose is a timely tale relevant to current day USA — they’re all pursuing the American Dream during a volatile melting pot time.” In the story, these culturally different groups unite through their courage, passion and belief that there is something better and something more for themselves and the United States. “Ragtime” has a huge vocal score through which these diverse cultures come together by expressing themselves in music, ranging from gospel to brass band and ragtime. “The rich and varied turn-of-the-century music is amazing; it’s full of feeling and emotions as these families are thrown together by circumstances that weave them together with an uplifting ending,” Lewis said.

Through its program, “You Give, We Give,” SDMT selects a nonprofit organization each year that complements its featured musical, and then donates 10 percent of any money given to the theater during that musical's run to the group. “This year, we chose three San Diego organizations to help: Armed Forces Services YMCA, Voices for Children and the Shiley/Marcos Alzheimer’s Relief Research Center at UC San Diego,” Lewis said. “We’ll invite all of the groups to our final dress rehearsal and then track them throughout the year to see how the musical theater experience affects them.” SDMT’s audience picked “Ragtime” as their top choice for this landmark season. Terence McNally wrote the book for “Ragtime,” Stephen Flaherty wrote the score that won a 1998 Tony Award, and Lynn Ahrens wrote the lyrics. The musical is based on a novel by E.L. Doctorow. ■ IF YOU GO: Tickets are $30-$70 at sdmt.org and (858) 560-5740. Discounts are available for seniors, military and children. In addition to “Ragtime,” SDMT will present “42nd Street” (May 27-June 12) and “The Producers” (Sept. 23-Oct. 9) in its 2016 season. Spreckels Theatre is at 121 Broadway, No. 600, in downtown San Diego. ♦ The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support this newspaper.

Zel’s Del Mar is community’s neighborhood restaurant, bar Restaurant named in honor of longtime Del Mar resident Zelig Camiel Zel’s Del Mar might not be the site of the 1980s sitcom, “Cheers,” but it’s becoming the local spot “where everybody knows your name.” “We’re a neighborhood restaurant and bar,” said Greg Glassman, who owns and operates Zel’s Del Mar alongside his wife, Jennifer Powers. “This is where you’ll see real people from Del Mar.” Located on historic Highway 101 in the heart of Del Mar Village, Zel’s Del Mar opened its doors in August 2009. Though a little more than six years old, the restaurant is rooted in local history. Zel’s Del Mar was named in honor of Glassman’s grandfather, Zelig Camiel, a longtime resident and businessman. For decades, he owned a liquor store on the corner of 15th Street and Camino del Mar, where Del Mar Plaza is now located. Having been a familiar figure in the community, Camiel was given the title “unofficial mayor of Del Mar” when he retired. After his death in 1987, he was honored with a bench in Seagrove Park, which now sits near the entryway of Zel’s Del

Mar. “We love hearing stories from people who knew him back then,” Glassman said. “He was a real character.” Although raised in San Diego, Glassman often spent summers with his grandfather in Del Mar. So when the couple decided to open their own restaurant, the location, like the name, was also an easy decision. “Greg and I really built the place to really be a real local neighborhood bar and

restaurant,” Powers said. “Fortunately, for us, we’ve really been able to cultivate that environment in the restaurant, which has been really cool.” Like many Del Mar businesses, Zel’s Del Mar is busiest in the summer. Although the couple is happy to get a boost in business when the city is crowded with tourists for the beach, the fair and the races, Zel’s Del Mar was crafted for the

community. “We don’t rely on the tourism industry,” Glassman said. ““We couldn’t,” added Powers, who called the summer season “icing on the cake.” “We have to be sustainable all year round.” The couple credits the local community for keeping the business sustainable since the beginning. The restaurant opened in the midst of the recession, but thanks to dedicated customers, Zel’s Del Mar flourished while other businesses faltered. Glassman and Powers have witnessed their customers get married and have children. Two of the restaurant’s hostesses are the children of longtime customers. Now high school students, the local teens landed their first job with Zel’s Del Mar. “A lot of people started coming in 2009 and have really grown with us,” Powers said. With roots in the past, the restaurant is also always looking toward the future. Executive Chef Saga Horner was brought on board about three years ago.

Broken Yolk Café serves popular home-style food daily in Del Mar Although Del Mar’s Broken Yolk Café just opened in the summer, it has already become a breakfast and lunch staple in the community. Owners Randy and McKenzie Corrigan, who live in Carmel Valley, were pleased to bring the popular restaurant chain close to home. “We always wanted to open up a store in the neighborhood,” Randy Corrigan said. Corrigan grew up in the restaurant business. Part of his family owned pizza places in Mexico. A La Jolla native, Corrigan and his family had also been longtime customers of the Broken Yolk Café in Pacific beach, the local chain’s original location. Believing in the concept, the Corrigans became the first Broken Yolk Café franchise owners. The couple opened their first Broken Yolk Café in Oceanside five years ago. A year later, they opened a second location in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Having lived in Carmel Valley for nearly a decade, Corrigan said it was an easy decision to open a third eatery in Del Mar.

“We live right around the corner,” said Corrigan, adding that the café holds fundraisers every week for local schools and sports organizations. The restaurant raised $10,000 during its soft opening for the Del Mar Union School District. “We’re excited to be here.” The Del Mar restaurant opened in August 2015 in the renovated Beachside Del Mar shopping center. Though new to Del Mar, Broken Yolk Café has served home-style food to San Diegans since 1979. Del Mar’s café continues the chain’s tradition of good food and good service. “It’s got a great reputation,” Corrigan said. “It’s always been owned and operated by family, even with the franchises. There’s a lot of hands-on operators.” Broken Yolk Café serves breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. With more than 13 different omelets plus a variety of breakfast favorites, including pancakes, waffles and French toast, there’s something for everyone at Broken Yolk Café. Breakfast specials for $6.95 are available

Broken Yolk Café serves breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. from 6-8 a.m. every day. Breakfast is served all day, but those craving lunch can choose from an array of half-pound Angus burgers, sandwiches and wraps, and soups and salads. “We’ve got large portions and fresh ingredients,” Corrigan said. The Del Mar café features Broken Yolk Café favorites, but it was also crafted specifically for the coastal community. The local spot is a little less than 4,000 square feet, with a cozy, covered outdoor patio. It’s the first to feature a contemporary

design and beachside theme with a Hamptons-style interior. It is also the first location with a breakfast bar instead of a breakfast counter. The café offers a specially designed drinks menu with signature breakfast cocktails. “It’s been great,” Corrigan said. “We’re excited for the future.” Broken Yolk Café is located at 2642 Del Mar Heights Road in Del Mar.

EVENT BRIEFS FROM BRIEFS, B8 for Hope" 5K Run/Walk will take place on Feb. 6 at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad. The 5K race course will bring runners outside the park, while the chip-timing offers runners a precise measurement of their time. "We had a great response on the new course we developed from the runners," noted MTF CEO/Co-Founder, Brad Thorp. "So we are glad to bring it back. Our runners really enjoyed the challenge." The walk course remains the main component of the event, which supports families and children in their greatest time of need. "Our walkers and their families will enjoy the loop through Poinsettia Park at their own pace," added MTF Co-Founder Beth Thorp. "Whether you are running or walking, you will have a wonderful experience while supporting a great cause." With food, music, health/wellness vendors, and entertainment producing the usual fun atmosphere during and after the race, MTF also made changes to enhance the overall family experience. New features, such as the Kid Ventures Timed Obstacle Course, presented by The San Diego Gulls, will make the event even more fun for kids. This new activity includes great prizes from the San Diego Gulls, including tickets and special fan experiences. In addition, three former U.S. Navy Leap Frogs, and current members of a parachute demonstration team, will jump into Thorp Field to highlight the opening ceremonies of the 5K Run/Walk. The event is once again made possible by the support of sponsors, including Independent Financial Group, Caruso Affiliated, NRG, Datron and Avista Technologies. Information and online registration can be found at mitchellthorp.org. About Mitchell Thorp Foundation The Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) is a public 501(c)(3) organization, commemorating Mitchell’s shortened life of 18 years and his five-year heroic struggle against an undiagnosed illness. Mitchell’s strength and courage, along with the community’s support, collectively inspired the family to establish the MTF that supports families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders, by providing financial, emotional and resources to their desperate situation. In addition, MTF provides scholarships and awards to promising young athletes, like Mitchell, acknowledging their accomplishments in youth baseball and leadership skills.

Two shows return to North Coast Rep: Richard Lederer’s ‘Presidents Tonight’ and Robert Dubac’s ‘The Book of Moron’ Returning to the North Coast Rep stage is Richard Lederer, who will perform "Presidents Tonight!" After his sold-out performance of "Amazing Words" last year, Ellenstein wanted to bring Dr. Lederer back with his newest show "Presidents Tonight" on Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m..

The San Diego Union-Tribune history quizmaster and language columnist will offer a treasury of insights into the feats, fates, families and foibles of American presidents, including the patterns of their elections. Lederer is the author of more than 50 books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series and his current books, Amazing Words, Lederer on Language, and Monsters Unchained! Lederer’s column, "Lederer on Language" appears weekly in the San Diego Union-Tribune, and he is a founding co-host of "A Way With Words" on KPBS Public Radio. He has been named International Punster of the Year and Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavil winner. During the performance, Lederer will auction off his services and the proceeds benefit North Coast Rep. The two auction items are the following: Lederer On Language. Lederer will come to your home, child’s school, house of worship, local library, service club, supper club, book club, or business to present whatever program of language learning and fun you wish. Poker 101. As the father of Howard "The Professor" Lederer and Annie Duke, "The Princess of Poker," Lederer is the most successful breeder of world-class poker players in history. Lederer will instruct you in the fundamentals of the great American game of Texas Hold’em. There will be a book signing after the show and mingle with the audience. This is a benefit performance for North Coast Rep. It’s a fun evening of theatre. After his huge success with "The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron" at North Coast Rep, Robert Dubac returns with his other show "Book of Moron" on Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. "Hilarious," "Intelligent," "Provocative," "Scorching" all describe Dubac’s new solo show The Book Of Moron! Combining theater with stand-up, Dubac buckles us up for a fast-paced joy ride over the pot-holed highways of cultural hypocrisy. Riding shotgun with intelligence and absurdity he crashes head first into the barriers of sex, race, religion, politics and the media. To order tickets to any of these shows, visit the website at northcoastrep.org, or call the box office 858-481-1055. North ` Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

St. James Academy students support San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House St. James Academy students joined the Red Shoe Crew recently to support families with children facing serious medical conditions at local hospitals. Throughout the day, students participated in activities to offer encouragement to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. Eighth grade students led a presentation explaining the many services offered by the House. As part of the event, students collected donations in Ronald’s size 14 red shoes. Donations were made in honor of the Grimmer family in recognition of the connection the family has with both St. James Academy and the Ronald McDonald House. Through their efforts, the school was able to meet its goal to provide lodging and hot meals for families served by the House. For more information about San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House or joining the Red Shoe Crew, please contact Diana Witte at dwitte@rmhcsd.org or (858) 598-2421. Photos by McKenzie Images.

Gelson’s opens Jan. 14 in Del Mar

Gelson’s Markets opened its first-ever San Diego-area store in Del Mar on Jan. 14, located at 2707 Via de la Valle. Gelson’s is also thanking its first 200 customers with a gift bag valued at $20. In addition, customers will have the opportunity to sample featured merchandise and dishes throughout the opening week. “We’re very excited to be opening our first San Diego location,” says Rob McDougall, Gelson’s president & CEO. “I believe we will prove ourselves beneficial to the community by providing premium-quality merchandise and exceptional customer service, while also re-employing the dedicated workforce that was subject to the Haggen crisis.” Gelson’s remodeled the existing store which now features new salad, hot foods and antipasti bars; a carving cart within the service deli; wellness set; and an enhanced juice and cut fruits counter. The store also features upgraded check stands and a customer service desk to facilitate the company’s signature service offerings. The supermarket chain purchased three locations in San Diego from Haggen after the chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2015. A fast re-opening with a few essential improvements was a priority in order to re-employ existing Haggen associates, some of whom have worked at the location for many years under previous ownership. An extensive remodeling is slated later in 2016. Gelson’s is also on track to open new stores in Carlsbad on Feb. 11 and Pacific Beach in late March. For more information about Gelson’s, please visit www.gelsons.com. Photos by Jon Clark. For photos lonline, visit www.delmartimes.net.

Going Solar: What a Possible End to Net Metering Means for You Trying to decide the best time to go solar? The short answer: Right now. Since its inception, the biggest incentive for going solar was the state-mandated arrangement called Net Energy Metering, through which utility companies such as San Diego Gas & Electric buy power

produced from solar customers, allowing customers to shrink or eliminate their electric bills altogether. But now, Net Metering rebates may be a thing of the past. Why? In part because of a recent bill signed by Governor Brown, which requires state regulators to set new rules either once rooftop solar customers’ power hits 5% of the region’s peak demand or by July 2017. San Diego is projected to be the ﬁrst to reach that cap, and well before the July 2017 mark—some estimates give as early as December 2015. There is a probable new rebate model in the works, but it’s highly unlikely to be as generous as the current model, in which SDG&E buys the power surplus at the same rate it charges its highest usage

tier customers—42 cents a kilowatt hour. Proposals for a new rebate program are currently being discussed by the state Public Utilities Commission as well as utility companies and other groups. The good news is that customers who already have their solar panels installed and running should have their current program grandfathered in. Whether you are considering purchasing or leasing your solar panels, there’s no time to hesitate. Time is of the essence. To beat the clock on a net metering program expiration, you need more than just a signed contract for your system; your solar panels must be not only installed prior to the deadline but must be operating. Some contractors may take an average of 120 days from the time a

contract is signed to the time the system is installed. Demand is currently high (more solar energy is now installed in San Diego each week than in the entirety of 2008), so installation projections may vary. Net metering helps make going solar affordable. But it is also important to remember that solar power is sustainable power that you can rely on. One of the things that going solar has taught us is how we can best integrate energy consumption with environmental responsibility. Across the nation, and especially here in San Diego, we’ve proven the many successes of solar. To discuss more about the net metering program and to install before the deadlines, contact us at 858-450-9700 or visit our website at 92130.stisolarenergy.com.

GOOD DOG GO

Shania, a 5-year-old

American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a new family. She was found as a stray last August, and has been showing her caregivers what a sweet and talented girl she is. When she’s out for playtime, this silly girl loves to sit in chairs, play with toys and run around the yard. The shelter has been quite stressful on this loving girl because she can’t get the affection she craves from a family, so she doesn’t always put her best paw forward while in her kennel. But if you give her a chance, Shania is one of the most social and affectionate dogs you’ll ever meet. She loves to be snuggled and will often rest her head in your lap until she falls asleep. If you’re looking for a dog who will stick by your side, she’s the girl for you! Shania is available for adoption at the San Diego humane Society’s Oceanside Campus at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357. , , Fe, CA 92067, San Diego County.

DID YOU KNOW...? The oldest breed of dog is the Saluki.

FROM ENBERG, B1 opportunities now. Another was “Take a right hand turn.” “That’s one that resonates with a lot of people who see the play — take a right hand turn, always go the same way, take an unexpected turn and let life come to you,” Enberg said. “It’s a nice philosophy and one that I have followed.” After McGuire’s death, Enberg began writing down everything that McGuire taught him and all of his cherished memories. As more words appeared on the page, he realized he had enough for a play, began crafting it chronologically and writing it in McGuire’s broken language. “If you don’t like the play, don’t blame me, Al wrote it,” Enberg said. “He was a rascal, I couldn’t ignore that.” The first part of the play deals with McGuire’s childhood, growing up above that Irish bar in Long Island. The second part of the play deals with his life as a coach and the last as he knows he is dying, and the thoughts we have as we face the end. In his long career, Enberg has covered everything from basketball, tennis, golf, horse racing, Olympic Games, football and for the last several years has been the play-by-play voice for the San Diego Padres. Enberg said baseball is his favorite game to cover even though it is the most demanding — the schedule is packed and the pace of the game is different, requiring an announcer to fill the voids with facts, stories and personal anecdotes. Enberg loves that challenge. “I find it not only satisfying but thrilling every time I go to the ballpark,” said Enberg, who announced that this season would be his last. “Hopefully the Padres send me out with a terrific season.” Upon word of his retirement, Enberg said he was flooded with calls, people asking him to teach, to do radio, to write another book—“There’s plenty of work to do.” Thanks to McGuire, Enberg will eat the banana.

Guilt-free comfort foods to ward off the winter blues

hen it’s cold and dreary outside our bodies, like seasonal clocks, crave warm, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs foods that are typically loaded with cheeses, butter, cream, fatty meats and other artery-choking monsters. Let’s turn over a new leaf this winter with healthy comfort foods that’ll still warm the cockles of your heart, but won’t clog them.

One Pot Wonders

Slow-cooked Moroccan tagines blending chicken, lamb or fish with dried fruits, assorted vegetables, preserved lemons and exotic herbs and spices are braised to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness in conical shaped pots that resemble the Tin Man’s hat in “The Wizard of Oz.” Traditionally served on a bed of fluffy couscous, these stews are as nutritious as they are delicious. Whip up a healthier version of classic Italian ragùs or meat-based sauces using low fat offerings from immune-boosting lamb and organic chicken and turkey to a blend of wild mushrooms or sautéed eggplant. Simmer in lighter broths, wine or tomato-based sauces rather than creamy and buttery ones. Toss with low carb egg noodles. What a fine kettle of omega 3-rich fish in a bowl of seafood “chowdah,” French bouillabaisse and Italian cioppino. While those stews have an abundance of oceanic treasures still residing in their shells that require seafood utensils, for low

maintenance chowder you just dig in. A lower cholesterol and carb chowder can be prepared with a tomato broth rather cream, along with celery root chunks instead of potatoes. While cioppino typically has mussels, clams, scallops, shrimps, crab and a firm fish in a tomato base, bouillabaisse is a traditional Provençal mélange of sea gems including, monkfish, turbot, octopus and lobster simmered in fish stock and white wine with leeks, diced tomatoes and herbes de Provence creating an aromatic broth.

Finger in the Pie

Shepherd’s pie, aptly named after the herders of sheep who fortified themselves in the pastures with a hearty dish of meat scraps and potatoes. The modern recipe has been refined into a savory casserole of ground beef, mixed vegetables, sautéed onions, and topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. To trim down traditional Shepherd’s pie, use ground lamb, chicken or turkey, and sliced potatoes or other roots whether celeriac, rutabaga or yams for a lighter crust. Pot pies can also be slimmed down using mashed avocados in the crust instead of butter, and a mushroom stock or wine base rather than cream.

Cut the Cheese

Do a lighter riff on lasagna by loading the layers with vegetables, like Portobello’s,

zucchini and eggplant, along with swapping out traditional ricotta and high fat mozzarella cheeses with more easily digestible goat and fresh buffalo mozzarella. Use the same fat-trimming principle for macaroni and cheese, and toss in some roasted crucifers, such as baby Brussels sprouts or cauliflower florets for an antioxidant oomph.

Roll Call

Stuffed cabbage rolls are popping up everywhere from delis to five-star restaurants. Jewish cabbage rolls called holishkls, a concoction of ground beef, rice and raisins, enveloped in cabbage leaves, and simmered in a sweet and sour tomato sauce trace back 2,000 years to eastern Europe during fall festival celebrations. As healthy as they are hearty, the cabbage leaves provide a powerhouse of antioxidants and B vitamins to prevent assorted cancers, reduce "bad cholesterol," amp up immunity and energy levels, while calming jittery nerves. The tomato sauce packed with Vitamins C, A, B6, niacin and lycopene is believed to curb heart and age-related diseases.

Recipe: Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

From Russia with love, here is my Grandma’s old world-recipe for cabbage rolls using low fat ground chicken breast for a healthy comfort dish during cooler months and beyond. For the rolls: • 1 head green cabbage • 1 pound ground chicken or turkey breast • 1/2 cup cooked basmati rice • 1 onion, minced • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 teaspoon olive oil • 1/2 cup Thompson raisins

COURTESY PHOTO

Delciious comfort food: Lasagna For the sauce: • 1 red pepper, coarsely chopped • 1 onion, coarsely chopped • Juice from 1 lemon • 1/4 cup brown sugar • 18 ounces diced tomatoes • 8 ounces tomato puree or sauce • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Method: Remove core from cabbage. Steam in a pot of simmering water until soft. Separate the leaves. Set aside. In a large pot sauté onion and pepper in oil until tender. Add tomatoes, sauce, sugar, juice and seasonings. Simmer. In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, rice, onion, garlic, oil, raisins and seasonings. To prepare the rolls, lay each leaf flat and form logs with the meat at the root end. Roll envelope-style and tuck in edges. Place rolls in the sauce and simmer for one hour, or until cooked through. Serve over basmati rice. — For additional comfort dish recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
