Del Mar moves to ban plastic bags BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like its northern neighbors, the city of Del Mar is set to also ban single-use plastic bags. The Del Mar City Council on Feb. 16 voted unanimously to move forward with a plastic bag ban. “I think this proposed ordinance is an important first step in helping clean up Del Mar,” Councilman Don Mosier said. The proposed ordinance will prohibit the use of plastic bags by retail establishments including

restaurants and the Del Mar Farmers Market. The city’s Sustainability Advisory Board initially brought the issue before the council in an effort to enact a citywide ban, which board members said would conserve resources, reduce litter and pollution, and protect wildlife. “I think you need to have this to really push things along,” said Ann Feeney, who serves on the board. “People don’t seem to resent it. They just change their habits.”

Solana Beach became the first city in San Diego County to ban plastic bags in 2012. Encinitas adopted a similar ban two years later. California became the first state in the country to prohibit plastic bags when Gov. Jerry Brown signed a statewide ban in 2014. Senate Bill 270, however, is now subject to a referendum vote in November 2016. “I strongly encourage you not to rely on the SEE PLASTIC BAGS, A27
Survey: Voters would support SB school bond
BY KRISTINA HOUCK According to a recent poll, a majority of voters would narrowly approve a general obligation bond for the Solana Beach School District, if the district moves forward with such a measure. The district includes Solana Santa Fe Elementary School in Rancho Santa Fe. Of the 300 people surveyed, nearly 59 percent said they would definitely or probably vote in favor of a general obligation bond on the ballot. Although nearly 30 percent said they would definitely or probably vote against a general obligation bond, almost 11 percent said they were not sure. The district would need 55 percent approval to pass a bond measure. “We see a group that’s not sure,” Superintendent Terry Decker said. “That’s certainly an opportunity for us to give some information and help inform those people about what it is we’re working on.” SEE SCHOOL BOND, A27
Solana Beach council appoints two more commissioners BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two weeks after filling 18 of 21 vacancies on the city’s five citizen commissions, the Solana Beach City Council appointed two more commissioners. In a unanimous vote, the council on Feb. 10 appointed Judith Hamilton to the Budget and Finance Commission. Every council member has an opportunity to nominate members of the Budget and Finance Commission, as well as the View
Assessment Commission, but appointments have to be confirmed by the whole council. Councilwoman Ginger Marshall nominated Hamilton during the Jan. 27 meeting, but the motion did not pass as only she and Mayor David Zito voted in favor. Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn and Councilwoman Lesa Heebner voted against the motion, and Councilman Mike Nichols was absent from the meeting. Because Hamilton was not
present at the meeting, Heebner suggested reappointing commissioner Craig Nelson to the position. With discord on the dais, Nelson later said he would not have applied, had he known Marshall planned to nominate someone else. Nelson was originally appointed by former Mayor Thomas Campbell, who retired from the council in 2014. “Councilmember Marshall inherited me from her predecessor when she was awarded the council

seat,” Nelson said at the Feb. 10 meeting. “It is her prerogative to nominate her representative. “The city is in great financial status and in wonderful hands,” he added. “It’s been a pleasure to serve. I still think Solana Beach is the greatest city on the planet. I’m not going anywhere, so I’ll be around.” Council members thanked Nelson for his years of service to the city. “The city’s financial condition, I SEE COMMISSIONERS, A11

Penniman happy to return to role as president of fair board
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the Breeders’ Cup headed to Del Mar and plans for other projects, the future looks bright for the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “One of my personal goals from way back when was getting the Breeders’ Cup here,” said Russ Penniman, board president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. “It’s the Super Bowl of horse racing.” Now that the Breeders’ Cup is a year away, it’s an exciting time for Penniman to serve as president of the 22nd DAA, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Penniman was appointed board president in January. In preparation for the two-day event, Penniman attended the last two Breeders’ Cups at Santa Anita Park in 2014 and Keeneland in 2015. “I think we are going to be very competitive,” Penniman said. “San Diego is a destination.” The San Diego region might be a tourist destination, but Penniman has helped make the Del Mar Fairgrounds, specifically, a popular attraction since he was appointed to the board in 2003. And that is a challenge in the horse racing industry. At one point, the Del Mar racetrack was one of several options for horse racing throughout the state. Inglewood’s Hollywood Park Racetrack closed in 2013, however, and Pomona’s Fairplex horse racing was moved to Los Alamitos Racetrack in 2014. But the Del Mar Fairgrounds isn’t just horse racing. It’s home to the the San Diego County Fair and other events throughout the year.
“We try to make it an experience that’s more than just horse racing,” Penniman said. Attendance at last year’s San Diego County Fair was the second highest in the history of the annual event. The fair’s 25-day run, the longest ever by a day, attracted more than 1.5 million guests. “It makes us the largest fair in California,” Penniman said. Penniman also proudly pointed out that the Western Fairs Association recognized San Diego County Fair with 32 awards at the Western Fairs Association’s Convention and Trade Show in January in Anaheim. During the awards celebration, the 22nd DAA General Manager and CEO, Tim Fennell, was inducted into the Western Fairs Association’s Hall of Fame. The Western Fairs Association is a nonprofit trade association serving the fair industry in the western United States and Canada. “I think that speaks a lot to the quality of the operation that the group puts on,” Penniman said. “Tim has done a tremendous job.” The fair is an incredible draw, but horse racing remains an important focus of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. In 2014, Del Mar began hosting a second fall meet, in addition to its regular summer stand. The summer meet, Penniman said, is more social, particularly during the ever-popular Opening Day, while the fall meet attracts a more horse racing-centric crowd. “That’s a very nice season,” Penniman said. Penniman applied for the board partly due

His father was a Navy pilot and his stepfather was a professional horseman — and Penniman followed in both of their footsteps. A 1979 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Penniman was a naval aviator with more than 3,000 flight hours. After 15 years of active duty service, Penniman transitioned to the Navy Reserve in 1994. He last served as U.S. Pacific Fleet’s Reserve deputy commander, prior to his retirement in 2014, after 35 years in the Navy. Penniman, who has two adult children, is managing partner of Penniman & Associates, LLC, a financial services company. A Rancho Santa Fe resident, he was appointed to the 22nd DAA Board of Directors by former Gov. Gray Davis in 2003. This is his second stint
as board president. “This is a great facility,” Penniman said. “I didn’t have an appreciation for how significant this facility was before I came on the board.” Penniman has also served as chairman of the Del Mar National Horse Show since 2004. Additionally, he previously served as chairman of the State Race Track Authority and the State Race Track Leasing Commission. “Both my focus in the military and my focus here — it’s about mission and people,” Penniman said. “The mission here is just tremendous. There is so much going on here. “Although it’s work, it’s great fun to be a part of an organization that’s doing great things and doing them so well.”

Miracle inspires woman’s work with Miracle Babies BY KRISTINA HOUCK Miracle Babies has a special place in Tamara Lafarga-Joseph’s heart. She knows firsthand what it’s like to wish for a miracle. Her grandson was born at just 24 weeks. Max spent five months in the neonatal intensive-care unit, had several surgeries and 27 blood transfusions, and was on a myriad of medications. Today, he is a happy and healthy 13-year-old, whom Lafarga-Joseph lovingly calls “Miracle Max.” “It was probably one of the most traumatic, unanticipated type of experiences that just affects the entire family on so many levels — emotionally, physically and fiscally,” Lafarga-Joseph said. “I really gained an appreciation for what the baby goes through, what the families go through.” Max’s journey inspired Lafarga-Joseph to start working with Miracle Babies more than three years ago. The San Diego-based organization provides support and financial assistance to families with critically-ill newborns in the NICU. Lafarga-Joseph is a founding member of Miracle Circle, an auxiliary group that supports the work of Miracle Babies through fundraising, community outreach
and advocacy. “I’d do anything to help Miracle Babies,” said Lafarga-Joseph. Lafarga-Joseph has a long history of giving back to the community. Originally from Spain, Lafarga-Joseph came to the United States when she was 9 years old. She grew up in the Midwest and earned a bachelor’s degree in nutrition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s in exercise physiology from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. In the 1990s, Lafarga-Joseph settled in San Diego, when she studied gerontological counseling at UC San Diego. For 20 years, she helped rehabilitate and train people, including professional athletes and Olympic stars such as basketball player Stacey Augmon, boxer Mike Tyson (Junior Olympics) and skier Tommy Moe. Specializing in hydrotherapy, she traveled the globe to speak on the topic. Lafarga-Joseph has also worked as a real estate investor and developer, paramedic, teacher and artist. Currently, she is focusing on her art. She works with a variety of mediums, from acrylics to ceramics. “I’m in the renaissance of my life, I like to say,” she said with a laugh. “It’s the golden, wonderful

More recently, Lafarga-Joseph has served on the board of the Foundation for Women and has served as an event chair and volunteer for the Moores Cancer Center, where she worked with terminal cancer patients. She has also coordinated events and supported Rancho Coastal Humane Society, St. Germaine Children’s Charity and Sharp HealthCare, among other local institutions and organizations. “I believe that we are here to help others and to leave the world better than we found it,” she said.

Local resident training next generation of scientists at SDSU SDSU’s Bridges Stem Cell internship program earns $3 million grant BY KAREN BILLING The Bridges Stem Cell Research Internship Program (BSCRIP) at San Diego State University recently received $3 million in funds from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to continue the program. The funding helps to support young scientists as they get the experience they need to launch their biomedical careers. “The program has been a monumental success in recruiting highly competitive and diverse students here at SDSU to begin a scientific career in regenerative medicine,” said Carmel Valley resident Ralph Feuer, Ph.D., the program’s director and an associate professor at SDSU. Feuer has been a member of the faculty at SDSU since 2006 and has taught a number of courses in the biology department at all levels, from undergraduate courses to the cell and molecular biology joint doctoral program. He additionally runs his own research lab at SDSU studying heart and brain diseases, training a number of Ph.D, master’s and undergraduate degree candidates as they complete their degrees. As an educator, he said it is a privilege to be able to train the next generation of researchers. Feuer has been the BSCRIP program director since 2011, taking over from the program’s founder, Dr. Christopher Glembotski. Susan Kaiser has been involved as a program
Ralph Feuer, program director of SDSU’s Bridges Stem Cell Research Internship Program. administrator since the beginning and has made major contributions to its success, according to Feuer. “It’s a program that picks very talented and very competitive undergraduate and master’s students at SDSU. We only pick 10 students,” Feuer said. The program is innovative in training and providing job opportunities for interns and, according to Feuer, is in many ways similar to the German style-apprenticeships endorsed by President Barack Obama. “The paid internship ensures that we attract the best students but also ensures that they have plenty of time to complete their training…it alleviates stress so they can really
concentrate on completing a successful project,” Feuer said. Students participate in a lab course that provides hands-on experience in stem cell research techniques and then take on a 12-month internship at host institutions such as UC San Diego, The Sanford/Burnham Institute for Medical Research, Scripps Institute for Research and various local biotech companies. “It’s not just a matter of giving them money, but also of giving them good mentors who can help train and guide them, of giving them meaningful engagement with patients and patient advocates, so they have a clear vision of the impact the work they are doing can have
on people’s lives,” said C. Randal Mills, Ph.D., the president and CEO of CIRM in a press release. Students in SDSU’s progams have achieved great individual success, going on to careers in research, at biotech companies, earning doctorates and pursuing medical degrees. After completing his internship at the Salk Institute in Dr. Fred Gage’s lab, student Ian Ladran graduated from SDSU, started his own lab in New York City studying stem cells, and then co-founded a diagnostics company, MiRNA Analytics, based on micro-RNA technology. “We would like to see the program grow,” said Feuer. “The program is valuable not just for SDSU but also because the students that have gone through this program are going on to much bigger and better things. The role of the program is to attract the next generation of researchers and technicians that are interested in pursuing stem cell research and developing therapies for changing diseases and injuries of humans. This program is about finding those students and allowing them to pursue their dreams.” Feuer is grateful for CIRM, which invested more than $40 million for internship programs at 15 California campuses this year to help cultivate the next generation of scientists. “The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has put California on the map for stem cell research,” Feuer said. “California is the world leader in research and training for stem cell research and it’s the hope that the state and the public taxpayer will continue to support this highly worthwhile program.” Visit www.sci.sdsu.edu/scip/

Torrey teen: ‘Rugby saved my life’ A series of decisions, and a fateful concussion, led family to a chilling medical condition
BY BRYCE MILLER As a fan barks “C’mon Falcons!“ on a crisp and comfortable Friday night at Torrey Pines High School, Stephan Baere tilts his smart phone and thumbs through the images. First, it’s the X-rays — the ones that show the missing section of 16-year-old son Jackson’s skull from surgery. Then it’s the marble-sized spot of disturbing, life-altering darkness on the teen’s brain. More scrolling reveals photos of the crescent-shaped scar tracing the hairline above Jackson’s right eye. This is the Baere family’s past, the one filled with questions and restless nights and tears in quiet parking lots. The future is running around the field in front of them, diving to the ground at that very moment in a scrum cap to chase down a rugby ball. As players from rival Cathedral Catholic rush in, the father explains how everything changed when a godsend of a concussion led the Baeres down a medical road none
anticipated. As he talks, a Cathedral player inadvertently plows into Jackson’s head. The family fails to notice as he pops up and sprints away. “He plays all out, all the time,” Torrey Pines coach Matty Sandoval said. “He puts his body in peril more than he should, probably.” At a time of unprecedented concerns about contact sports, when concussions thrust the letters CTE into our vocabularies, one family was forced to decide whether a boy should be ripped away from the game that was shaping him. What they knew: Jackson loved rugby. What they also knew: The sport provided a gift that was impossible to repay. Three moments led a boy who played baseball his whole life to a different sport at a different school and an injury that birthed both a scar and second chance. If any it had unfolded differently, a gregarious teen would be racing around with a

First mayor of Solana Beach leaves lasting legacy BY KRISTINA HOUCK Family, friends and members of the Solana Beach community are reflecting on the legacy that Margaret Schlesinger, the city’s first mayor, left behind. The city’s current Mayor David Zito announced Schlesinger’s death at the Feb. 10 council meeting, calling her “an immensely valued community member, a caring and gentle person.” “So much of what is core to Solana Beach was wrapped up in the opinions Margaret expressed, in the manner she chose to act, and in the way she related to others,” Zito said. “We will now have to move forward without her guiding hand.” Schlesinger, 80, played an important part in the city’s incorporation in 1986. She was the top vote-getter elected to the City Council that year, and her fellow council members appointed her as mayor. “I thank God for giving us Margaret Schlesinger as our inspirational first mayor,” said Solana Beach resident Dr. Ed Siegel, who established the weekly Solana Beach Community Singalong. Siegel credited Schlesinger, his former neighbor, with inspiring him to get involved in local government. “Early on she asked me to join the Parks and Recreation Commission, of which I later became chairman, before going on to serve in many other civic positions,” Siegel said. “After her tenure,
she remained an active and consistently rational voice in any potentially divisive issue that came before the city.” Schlesinger was born May 18, 1935, in Tampa, Fla. Her family later moved to Toronto in 1941 and Missouri in 1946, according to her son, Patrick M. Schlesinger. The daughter of a Southern Baptist minister, Schlesinger went on to study political science at George Washington University. She got her start in politics working for a congressman from Indiana on Capitol Hill. Schlesinger met her husband, Patrick J. Schlesinger, at a church in Washington, D.C. They couple got married in 1959 and later moved to California in 1963. Schlesinger sharpened her community activism skills in Oakland, Calif., working on campaigns and causes, as well as community outreach programs through the First Baptist Church of Oakland. The couple later moved to El Cajon in 1972 and then to Solana Beach in 1978. “I don’t think she aspired to hold public office herself,” her son said. “As customary with new cities, the top vote-getter is elected mayor. Because she had experience walking precincts, that’s really what made the difference.” The people who pushed for Solana Beach’s incorporation did so in part because San Diego County approved plans for a hotel on a piece of coastal property previously known as the
Gateway property. The 3.44-acre parcel sits along the east side of Coast Highway 101, across from Cardiff State Beach and south of the San Elijo Lagoon. “She felt like it was very important to have local control over Solana Beach’s affairs,” her son said. Now named Harbaugh Seaside Trails, the parcel that had long been pursued by developers is now forever preserved thanks to donations from the community. Schlesinger was on site for the January 2015 naming ceremony. “I can’t believe this is happening,” she said at the time. “It is just so wonderful. It’s a gift for the community.” Schlesinger also played an important

part in getting the Solana Beach public transit center constructed on Cedros Avenue, Patrick M. Schlesinger said, and helped get the railroad tracks lowered below street level in the 1990s. “She thought it was good for commuters and would help jumpstart that area of Solana Beach commercially,” he said. Schlesinger served on the council until 1994, but remained active in the community and local organizations, including the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society. “Environmental preservation was always very important to her,” her son said. “One of the things she told me was that if you are an environmental activist, you have to win these battles over and over again. If you are a developer, you only have to win them once.” Schlesinger died at home surrounded by family early Feb. 9, only two months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. She is survived by her husband Patrick J. Schlesinger; son Patrick M. Schlesinger of Kensington, Calif.; daughter Ann H. Garrett of Laguna Nigel; and five grandchildren. A service will be held at 1 p.m. on March 19 at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. The service will be open to the public. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy.

Ocean Air Elementary School shines Students finish top 20 for 15 Science Olympiad events San Diego is home to many premier science and engineering institutions and there are many aspiring young scientists in local schools. Hence it’s no surprise that there is a buzz of excitement in February when the Regional Science Olympiad competition takes place. Months of careful planning, preparation and hard work culminate in a championship event for all of San Diego County.
Science Olympiad consists of 23 different events, testing the kids on their knowledge, creativity and building skills. Events such as Anatomy, Invasive Species and Dynamic Planet emphasize knowledge and learning, whereas events like Bridge Building, Mission Possible and Scrambler test the kids on their building skills, dexterity and sometimes their patience. In Carmel Valley, Ocean
Air Elementary School is a relatively new but formidable entrant to the event. For the past few years, science teacher Stacie Waters has put in almost super-human effort and passion in organizing the team. A dedicated set of coaches and students are selected months in advance and train hard to succeed at the event. Last year Ocean Air placed 6th, beating out other elementary schools and even some middle schools in the process. This year the event took place on Feb. 6 at Carlsbad High School. Thirty-four schools from around the
county sent a total of 113 teams for the competition. “On the unusually warm Saturday morning, the Ocean Air students gathered around their camp in their bright blue t-shirts and a glimmer of excitement in their eyes. All around them were middle school kids, including Carmel Valley Middle School, the perennial champion. Their shadow loomed large over the Ocean Air students. Would they be able to repeat what they did last year? The remarkable young Ocean Air students powered SEE OCEAN AIR, A29

Solana Pacific wins awards at 2016 Science Olympiad For the second year, Solana Pacific Elementary School came home winning. This year they were recognized for three awards at the regional Science Olympiad competition which took place Saturday, Feb 6. This year a record 116 teams from all over San Diego County competed. Solana Pacific participated in seven events, winning 16th place in Anatomy, 16th place in Air trajectory and 9th place in bridge building. The Science Olympiad program at Solana Pacific is a parent and student volunteer run program supported by the CDC. The students and seven volunteer coaches began preparing for the big day back in October and spent four months in intense preparation to get ready for the competition. The competition not only serves as a way to develop their interest in science, but also a way to build friendships and learn to work together as a team. The SO competition was a day filled with fun and learning. Congratulations to the hard working students, coaches, parents and volunteers!

Douglas Brinkley on American Politics
Scholar reviews presidents for Bishop’s lecture By Will Bowen While many people were at home watching the Iowa Caucus on television, Feb. 1, a packed house of about 450 gathered at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street, to hear Rice University Professor Douglas Brinkley, Ph.D., give a tour-de-force lecture reflecting on all the American presidents — from Washington to Obama — as a warm-up to this year’s elections. The lecture, titled “Historical Perspectives on the American Presidency and the Election of 2016,” was presented as part of The Bishop’s School Endowed Scholar-in-Residence Program. Professor Brinkley, who will be at Bishop’s School for one week teaching and consulting with students and faculty, was selected as this year’s scholar. Each year Bishop’s brings an academic leader to its campus to inspire students and teachers toward the highest ideals of scholarship. Keri Peckham, associate director of marketing at Bishop’s, explained, “The choice of a scholar is the result of proposals the students and faculty submit each year.” The program is made possible with a $1 million grant from an anonymous donor. Head of School Aimeclaire Roche welcomed the crowd, after which, Jeff Geoghegan, Ph.D., chair of the History & Social Sciences Department, introduced

Since the Endowed Scholar-in-Residence program began in 2003, each guest scholar is presented with The Bishop's Medal, as Douglas Brinkley receives from Head of School Aimeclaire Roche on Feb. 1, 2016. Professor Brinkley. Referred to as “America’s new past master” and “the best of the new generation of American historians,” Brinkley is the author of numerous books, including: “The Great
Deluge,” “Tour of Duty,” “The Boys of Pointe du Hoc,” “Parish Priest” and “The Majic Bus.” He also edited The New York Times bestseller, “The Reagan Diaries.” His latest book is about Theodore Roosevelt.
In addition to writing history books, Brinkley is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, Boston Globe, Rolling Stone and Atlantic Monthly. He is also a CNN consultant and has interviewed celebrities like Bob Dylan and Barack Obama. Before assuming a professorship at Rice University in Houston, Brinkley, who earned his B.A. at Ohio State and Ph.D. at Georgetown University, taught at the U.S. Naval Academy, Princeton, Hofstra, Tulane, and the University of New Orleans. Professor Brinkley began by celebrating a little known (but highly significant) Founding Father by the name of Charles Thompson. A Philadelphia brew master, Thompson was also head of the radical breakaway group, “The Sons of Liberty,” and was secretary of the Continental Congress. Thompson, said Brinkley, signed The Declaration of Independence, and helped Thomas Jefferson print out hard copies for circulation. He also insisted that Washington be the first president, and when Washington was at Valley Forge with his troops, it was Thompson he wrote to, to secure funding for his army’s needs. Thompson also designed The Great Seal of America (national logo) and ensured that the eagle became the symbol of the country, and not the turkey, as Ben Franklin desired. Brinkley credited Jefferson with doubling

FROM SCIENCE, A1 The teams worked diligently since early September in 23 subjects covering all phases of science and technology and their success is due to the hard work by both students and volunteer parent coaches. There were 113 teams from 33 schools in this year’s tournament, making San Diego one of the largest Science Olympiad regional tournaments in the country. CVMS won 97 medals, including 65 top-10 placings in route to their victory. Thirty-seven of the students won three medals. Another three won four medals. Sanjana Sambhwani, a 7th grader, took first in Picture This, second in Crave the Wave, seventh in Invasive Species, and eighth in Scrambler. Eighth graders Chris Wooden (first in Experimental Design, first inGreen Generation, fourth in Fossils, eighth in Meteorology) and Catherine Zhang (third in Fossils, seventh in Invasive Species, twelfth in Experimental Design, eighteenth in Bridge Building) also won medals in all four of their events. The Carmel Valley program draws over 130 students every year, taking 90 to compete in the San Diego Regional competition. Fifteen students will move on to the SoCal State Tournament where they have finished second for seven of the past 10 years. “This is a strong, deep program and one of the best teams we have had in years,” Head Coach Scott Wooden said. “They have a realistic chance at states, although it will be a tough four-school race to win the coveted spot to Nationals.”
FROM COMMISSIONERS, A1 think, is due at least in part to your dedication and attention and continuity,” Zahn said. “You’ve been at it for a long time — not to mention your expertise and qualifications.” “You’ve done a great job,” Marshall added. “Sometimes I think a new face is good and change is good. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunity in the future to rejoin the committee, if you so desire.” Hamilton was appointed to a two-year term ending January 2018. A resident of Solana Beach since 1977, Hamilton has worked as a certified public accountant
for 38 years and has had her own firm in the city for decades. “We feel that we make a very positive footprint in the city of Solana beach,” she said. Prior to the vote, Heebner informed Hamilton she simply wanted the opportunity to interview her and confirm her availability for the role. “I never had any questions as to your qualifications,” Heebner said. “It was very clear from your application.” The council also unanimously appointed Nellie High to the Public Arts Commission. There is still one seat vacant on the commission.

Local resident’s dog competes at Westminster Dog Show BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe champion competed against the top dogs the Westminster Kennel Club’s 140th Dog Show on Feb. 15-16. The plucky, fluffy and affable Affenpinscher Tamarin True Grit, also known to owner Shannon Biszantz at home as Dillon, was invited to New York as one of the top six dogs in his breed in the country. “I feel honored that I was even invited to get to sit at the table with the best of the best and that is the biggest reward there is,” Biszantz said. On Monday, Feb. 15, Dillon competed in the Affenpinscher group. From there, the top dog of the six moved on to compete in the toy dog group on national television. (Yarrow H-Tech Drills and Skills won the Affenpinscher group Feb. 15. Dillon won an award of merit from the judges.) Dillon is “shaggy but neat,” small yet sturdy. He loves to chase golf balls, he loves to ride around on the golf cart while Biszantz plays at Morgan Run Club & Resort and he loves to go for walks and see his “girlfriends”— a few fluffy white Bichon Frises and a Coton de Tulear that live on his street. Biszantz’s first breed was a much larger dog — she used to compete

mouth and eyes. Biszantz researched and met with breeders of Affenpinschers all over the world in Finland, Arizona, Florida and New Hampshire. She was drawn to Terry and Jackie Stacy, owners of Tamarin Kennels in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, breeders of some of the finest Affenpinscher lines in the world. Biszantz sent many inquiries and pursued Jackie Stacy — knowing Stacy was judging a show in Del Mar, Biszantz persisted until she was able to get in front of Stacy for a meeting. She was then invited to fly to North Carolina for an interview — only one to two dogs are born in every breeding cycle and Tamarin is very selective about the owners. Part of the contract with a superior breeder is that the owner can never sell the dog and the owner is required to get a championship title on the dog. Biszantz took Dillon to the world’s number one Affenpinscher handlers Jorge and Susie Olivera, who had recently re-located to San Marcos from Arizona. Biszantz had just been looking to get Dillon a championship but when he started showing in fall 2014, Dillon got his first title within a few months and then earned a Grand Championship Bronze from the SEE DOG, A27

Rainwater: discounted rain barrels The City of Solana Beach is encouraging residents to save water by teaming up with Solana Center for Environmental Innovation to offer discounted rain barrels. Recently, the San Diego region has received some much-needed rain. However, one week of rain doesn't make up for four years of historic drought. The discounted rain barrels are available to pre-order online and cost $90. There is a $75 rebate which would bring the price to only $15 per rain barrel. Rain barrels allow gardeners to collect and reuse rainwater on their plants. Rainwater captured in rain barrels is healthier for plants because it’s free of the salts, minerals and chemicals that are found in municipal treated water. Composting and mulch will also retain more of the moisture in the landscape. Solana Center makes it easy to start harvesting rainwater. Currently Solana Beach residents can pre-order at rainbarrelprogram.org/solanabeach and pick up their rain barrels at Solana Center in Encinitas in March. Rain barrels still qualify for a $75 rebate available on a first-come, first-served basis until exhausted, through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California at www.socalwatersmart.com.

Teen launches special-needs soccer camp Cardiff program is serving youth with autism, Down syndrome
BY PAM KRAGEN Dominic Pasqueralli loves soccer. He also loves dinosaurs. And every Saturday afternoon, the 9-year-old Encinitas boy can indulge both passions with the Champions League. The just-launched soccer camp was developed to give special-needs youth like Dominic a hands-on sports experience without the restrictions and demands of traditional league play. During the league’s second session recently, Dominic was able to kick around a soccer ball, run the field and claw playfully at his companions as if he were a soccer-playing Cretaceous creature. "Activate raptor running power!" he shouted gleefully as he drove an oversized ball toward the goal with the help of his 13-year-old volunteer "buddy" Aidan Cohen. Then, as he lined up to shoot the ball into the net, he cried: "Activate gallimimus kicking power!" Watching happily from the sidelines were Dominic’s parents and grandparents. His mom, Natalie, said she’s thrilled there’s a program for kids like Dominic, who is on the autism spectrum. "Dominic has always wanted to play soccer, but we were nervous about how he would fit into a typical league," she said. "This has been a wonderful experience for Dominic, and Aidan has been so great with him. He plays along with the dinosaur thing, and they have a lot of

special-needs Champion League baseball program in Carlsbad, and she wanted to create a similar program in her community for soccer. "It’s just something I thought would be fun. I really like the feeling it gives me to volunteer with these kids," she said. Quincy plays varsity soccer at Canyon Crest Academy and has played club soccer for nine years. Through those connections, she was able to pull together a low-cost, six-week program that kicked off Jan. 23. A dozen boys and girls signed up for the inaugural season, which she said still has room for more players. The program is co-sponsored by the Cardiff Mustangs soccer league and TOPSoccer, a La Jolla-based outreach program for young athletes with disabilities. Quincy also worked with Cal South, the California State Soccer Association, which donated the goal nets, balls and training equipment. Buddy T-shirts and player jerseys were also donated. Since the program is all-volunteer, families paid just $7.50 to participate. The program participants, mostly boys, range in age from 5 to 15. One boy has Down syndrome; the rest have autism. Because the players have varying degrees of disability and soccer experience, traditional games aren’t possible. Instead, each child is paired with one or two teen buddies, and they work together on a series of drills and kicking games. Under threatening skies recently, the hourlong practice began with several kicking drills, followed by a running and dribbling game called "red light, green light" and finally goal-kicking practice. One of the most experienced participants is Timothy Woodmansee, 15, of Del Mar. Timothy has Down syndrome and has been playing in TOPSoccer for the past four years. His mother, Jennifer, said that TOPSoccer is a fall program, and he waits eagerly all year for it to return. "Now he can have a spring soccer season, too," she said. "The beauty of the program is that it teaches skills and camaraderie. It brings out his independence and allows him to work
at his own speed." Timothy’s buddies are Zach Lewis and Eytan Camras, both 16, who seemed to enjoy the afternoon practice as much as Timothy. "This is my first time doing something like this," Eytan said. "I love playing soccer, and I think they should be able to play soccer, too. This is a fun experience. I love it." Don Caldwell of San Marcos — who was watching his 11-year-old son, Jack, kick the ball around with two buddies — said the program has been good for his son’s interpersonal skills. Jack's autism causes problems with anxiety and social interaction. "Sometimes when you have a kid with special needs, it’s a challenge to find things for them to do," he said. "The buddy system I really like, because it brings him together with young people closer to his own age. He doesn’t have problems interacting with adults, because he’s always surrounded by them, but this is a different dynamic." Caldwell said he drives Jack all over the county to play soccer because it has helped his coordination and "pulled him out of his shell." "His teachers at school made a comment about how much he’s improved, and I give a lot of the credit to soccer," Caldwell said. While many of the participants have played in other soccer programs, it’s a new experience for 8-year-old Sean Suarez. At the beginning of the recent session, he wouldn’t let go of his mother’s hand and cried whenever his buddies touched him or got too close. But by the end of the hour, Sean was holding hands with his buddies, laughing and running freely across the field, kicking the ball ahead of him. That’s the kind of transformation that has made the hard work of organizing the league worth it for Quincy, who said she plans to continue building the program for another season next spring. For more information, email Quincy at champions@cardiffsoccer.org or visit the league’s website at: cardiffsoccer.org/mustangchampions-league/. Kragen writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Torrey Pines Rugby win streak continues BY TIM PICKWELL High school rugby plays a truncated, six-game season. There is no room for error. Every match counts. In the season opener in mid-December, the Torrey Pines Varsity was tied, 12-12 with rival La Costa Canyon, when a Falcon player was ejected. Playing a man-up, the strong Maverick back-line quickly exposed some Torrey Pines deficiencies, scored three tries in 10 minutes, and won, going away 40-12. The worst loss in years for Torrey Pines Rugby. Incredibly, in the week following the match, Head Coach Matty Sandoval told his team, “Fellas. I believe we are a championship team. We’re just going to have to work really hard to get there.” The quantity and quality of practices got bumped up, and Sandoval started tinkering each game with the line-up, eventually settling on a young squad that starts three sophomores and as many as six juniors. Scrum halfs became centers, fly halfs dropped back on defense to become fullbacks, fullbacks became wings, several subs pushed starters out of the way for playing time. The result is a five-game winning streak, including a victory Friday night, Feb. 12, at Torrey Pines High School over St. Augustine, 28-7, to cement a rematch in the final against La Costa Canyon (6-0). “We got better and better every week,” said Prop and Senior Team Captain Benny Ruffolo. “We were tired after every practice, we were pushed every week, but we knew if we just went out there and played, we’d improve.” Improve they did. Rebounding from the LCC loss with a 17-7 victory over Poway. Then beating a tough Fallbrook team on the road, 41-36. Then putting complete games together and knocking off Del Norte and Cathedral Catholic in nail biter, back-to-back home contests. The wire-to-wire win over St. Augustine was the rare contest where the team never trailed. The teams were testing each other early, when Saints No. 8 Andrew Alves made a punishing long run (one of several on the

Saints cycled out the ruck, and were spreading the ball out, when Falcon Senior Wing Max Lyle intercepted the ball and went untouched, 85 meters for the try under the posts. Flanker Jackson Baere nailed the conversion. A few minutes later, Falcon Blake Richards-Smith collected a ball out of line-out, and reached over for another try. He nailed the conversion kick for good measure, and Torrey Pines led at half, 14-0. Saints star Alves had a strong run early in the second half, and James Downey hit the conversion to make the score, 14-7. But, Ruffolo added a cushion (Richards-Smith with the conversion) to put Torrey Pines up, 21-7. Midway through the half, Falcon Fly Half Matthew Goena made a nice inside flip to Center Tanner Dearham, who caught the Saints defense heading the wrong way. He knifed through the line for a 20-meter score. Jackson Baere hit the conversion to finish off the scoring, 28-7. Torrey Pines (5-1), earns a rematch with the Mavericks on Feb. 19, at La Costa Canyon. Time TBD. A remarkable turn-around for a Falcon team that started 0-1, with a 28-point pasting. Explaining the turnaround, Sandoval simply said, “The best group of boys that I’ve ever coached.”
Players to be honored at Girls Basketball Senior Night Sierra Campisano and Isabella Hoang will be honored for Senior Night at their last home game. Torrey Pines plays CCA this Friday, Feb. 19, at Torrey Pines. The game starts at 5:30 p.m. and Senior Night celebrations begin immediately after

Real Estate & Construction
Growing & Building North Coast An overview of North County Coastal’s Economic Landscape Housing market in 2016 looks similar to previous year, experts say BY JOE TASH In terms of new home construction and sales, the housing market for 2016 in coastal North San Diego County is expected to be similar to last year, said several industry experts. Across San Diego County, permits were pulled for about 10,000 residential units during 2015 (a 9-year high), and a similar number is expected in 2016, said Borre Winckel, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association. “We will expect a very similar year to last year,” said Winckel, with about 25 percent of the new homes being detached single-family residences, and the other 75 percent consisting of attached condos and townhomes. Roughly two-thirds of the activity will occur within the city of San Diego, which includes Carmel Valley. Coastal North County - defined here as an area from Encinitas south to La Jolla and inland to Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe - will continue to be the most expensive and sought-after housing “sub-market” in San Diego County, said Russ Valone of Market Pointe Realty Advisors. “I think what you are going to see is continued rapid appreciation in the North County coastal sub-market because of dwindling supply and restrictive policies which will inhibit the processing and development of new supply in the coming years,” said Valone. The current inventory of new homes in coastal North County is 368 units, down from a year earlier, according to Valone. “The inventory is tightening up,” he said. Developers are seeking approval to build 4,200 more units, including both single-family and attached housing. In all, he said, there is supply for about 2.5 years, based on sales in the previous year. The average price for new homes in coastal North County in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.14 million, according to statistics from Market Pointe. Pardee Homes has three residential housing projects currently selling in the Pacific

Pardee Homes has three residential housing projects, including Canterra (above), currently selling in the Pacific Highlands Ranch area of Carmel Valley. Highlands Ranch area of Carmel Valley. One project, called Canterra, includes 89 homes and should be sold out by May, said Liz Ramirez, Pardee’s director of marketing. The other two current projects include about 200 homes total, and the company is anticipating that two additional projects will be coming on-line in Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Our projections (for 2016) are very similar to 2015 in regard to sales and closings,” Ramirez said. “We still see a very strong market, especially in Carmel Valley. It’s very desirable, and it’s coastal close.” Dove-tailing with the housing market, inventory is also down in the commercial office market in coastal North County. “2016 will have a very short supply of affordable, quality office space in the North Coastal Office markets,” said Ron Miller of Colliers International.
There will be pockets of “functionally obsolete space” that will sit vacant for several months until landlords decide either to remodel their property or offer rent concessions, Miller said. Carmel Valley attracts business tenants in such sectors as law, technology, life science, mortgage, financial/wealth preservation and healthcare, Miller said. Coastal North County and Carmel Valley are expected to have the highest rents and lowest vacancy rates in San Diego County for the next several years, he said. Among the constraints facing the housing market, particularly in coastal North County, experts said, are the high costs of permits and regulatory compliance, and a reluctance to approve higher density housing. In addition, of the new housing that is built, said Winckel of the Building Industry Association, it is concentrated at the lower
and upper ends of the market, with little housing built for consumers in the middle income ranges. That’s because of the high regulatory costs and fees, which make it difficult for builders to profitably build and sell homes for less than $500,000. Winckel referred to a study released in 2015 by Point Loma Nazarene University, which found that, on average, the cost of regulation in San Diego County amounts to about 40 percent of the price of a new home. Those costs include fees for building permits, as well as for schools, sewer lines and water connections. Other costs are related to the approval process, the report found. The approval process can be particularly challenging for multi-family, or attached, housing, Valone said. “It’s difficult to get a lot of density pushed through in this market,” he said.

OUR READERS WRITE Coastal Commission in disgrace My wife and I drove from Del Mar to Morro Bay to attend the Coastal Commission meeting where the dismissal of its Executive Director, Dr. Charles Lester, was to be determined. Over 682 coastal advocates also traveled from all over California to let their thoughts be known and to support Dr. Lester. The meeting lasted for over 10 hours and not one person spoke in favor of his termination. The Chairman had to finally quit taking testimony from individuals because there was no more time left in the day. To repeat, after 10 hours of testimony, there was 100 percent support for retaining Dr. Lester. But did that matter? Not one iota, because they went behind closed doors – that’s called Closed Session – to determine Dr. Lester’s fate. In about an hour the Commissioners came out to greet the huge crowd and tell everyone that on a 7 -5 vote, they had decided to terminate Dr. Lester, in spite of the supportive testimony that had been given, including support of over 150 of the Coastal Commission staff. Everyone was in shock and very depressed. One vote the other way and the result would have been different. Olga Diaz, an Alternate Commissioner from Escondido and a proclaimed environmentalist who has rarely attended any meetings, voted to sack Dr. Lester. Her vote for him and the environment would have kept his job secure and we could have

had a joyous outcome. She was not ethical enough to vote to keep him, after listening to the overwhelming testimony in favor of Dr. Lester. To add insult to injury, she was then quoted by Logan Jenkins in the San Diego Union Tribune, calling the hearing a “circus,” a vicious insult to all who had attended and testified. She is now being called an “Environmental Traitor” and the evidence of her vote tells why. For those Commissioners who voted to dismiss, this question remains to be answered: If everyone in attendance spoke in support of Dr. Lester, how could they vote to dismiss? If everyone, or most everyone, had spoken against Dr. Lester, their decision to vote to dismiss would be easy to understand, but the case was just the opposite. An explanation to the public is warranted and must be made. Hershell Price, Del Mar

fter months of calculating, political jockeying, and high-stakes musical chairs, we now enter the filing season when, at last, we shall learn the shape of the ballot for the June 7 California primary. The first day to file papers is Feb. 18. The last day is March 10. Former Democrat Lori Saldana has launched a challenge to Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer, but so far no prominent Democrat has declared for this
race. If a strong Democrat joined the fight, that candidate and Saldana probably would get more than half the primary vote, thus preventing Faulconer from winning election in June. Then the Democrat would have a very good shot at beating Faulconer in November when the presidential race will bring out Democratic voters who often skip the primary. Despite leading all other Republicans in the polls, local
Assemblyman Rocky Chavez has dropped out of the race to replace Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, saying he will instead run for re-election to the Assembly. This is bad news for two Republicans seeking to replace Chavez: Oceanside City Councilman Jerry Kern and Phil Graham of Encinitas, stepson of former Governor Pete Wilson. The Republican-leaning 76th District includes Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and
reality that I would be cut like a Thanksgiving turkey. I have to tell you that I am a faith-based person who believes that our life situations, whether seen as good or bad, are opportunities to develop a relationship with God. With Easter coming around the corner, I saw a window open. The view was of Jesus going through the cruelest torture a person could endure. Then I had an epiphany: Whatever pain or discomfort I was to experience from my surgery, it was a way for me to get a sliver of what he went through for me and for all of us. I now felt I was given a new perspective I definitely could live with. Well, my surgery is now over. It lasted almost five hours as the growth was more widespread than was thought. The doctor was pleased with the outcome and I was provided pain medication if needed. In truth, surprisingly, I didn’t feel any pain or the need for any. The thoughts of the Resurrection danced though my head for the days following surgery. Any discomfort I felt was nothing compared to Jesus’. I was grateful to have been given this new perspective. For those of you, who will be facing a similar life situation, fear not! We have the finest doctors and technology to bring us to health. There is solace in knowing that radiation treatments zap any minuscule diseased cells that the surgery might have missed. My treatment will finish in a month’s time. But best of all, this Easter will have an even stronger connection, for me. I feel truly blessed to share my story with you. Joel Harris
Vista. With all Republican candidates for U. S. Senate polling below 7 percent, the November runoff is likely to be between two Democrats, Attorney General Kamala Harris, polling at 27 percent, and Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, 15 percent. Because Sanchez is somewhat more conservative than Harris, with no Republican on the ballot, Republicans are more likely to vote for Sanchez in November. This vote, combined with the ethnic-pride vote for the Latina candidate, may allow Sanchez to run much stronger against the multi-ethnic Harris than recent polls suggest. Motor voter arrives. My driver’s license renewal came by mail last week. The envelope included a California Voter Registration Application.
Under a new law, the DMV will automatically register everyone who obtains or renews a driver’s license and who is legally eligible to vote – unless a person specifically opts out. The legislation came in response to a record-low 42 percent voter turnout in the statewide 2014 general election, when less than one-third of the eligible population voted. Democrats may enjoy some benefit from the new system, as it makes it easier for the poor and minorities to register and vote. Predictably, some Republicans opposed the law, saying it could lead to increased voter fraud. ■ Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

FROM PLASTIC BAGS, A1 upcoming November referendum vote regarding the state’s bag ban,” said Roger Kube, former chairman of the San Diego County chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. “The city of Del Mar has the opportunity tonight to take a stand against one of the biggest threats to our beaches and our oceans,” Kube said. “The facts are clear: Plastic bag bans work to protect our beaches, our oceans and our marine life. On behalf of our organization, we ask that you lead on this issue. Set an example for the rest of San Diego County.” Most of the speakers supported the plastic bag ban. A couple of speakers, however, spoke against the ordinance, including one local business owner, who said the ban could discourage tourists from shopping in Del
Mar. “Del Mar is trying to be a shopping district,” said Chris Glenn, owner of Urban Girl Accessories and Urban Beach House. “In order to create that, you need people walking around with bags. The majority of the people in Del Mar that are doing the spending, especially in this area, are tourists. They’re not going to have these (reusable) bags with them.” Most members of the council, however, agreed that a plastic bag ban is necessary to protect the environment. “I think this is a timely step to prohibit plastic bags,” Mosier said. He and Councilman Dwight Worden serve as council liaisons to the Sustainability Advisory Board. “We have the worst environmental record in San Diego County,” he added. “We’re not
FROM SCHOOL BOND, A1 The poll is the district’s latest step in exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot. The poll helped the district gather information about the community, identify community priorities and determine if a bond is feasible, Decker explained. “No set decision has been made at this point,” he said. “This was all part of our work to determine what we think might be possible, or what the options are for us.” Encinitas-based True North Research conducted the poll throughout December. Of the 19,433 registered voters in the district’s boundaries, 300 people were randomly selected to participate in the poll. Interviews were conducted over the phone, with 40 to 50 percent of respondents on cell phones. A computer-assisted system called CATI, or Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, was used to conduct the interviews. The system alerts interviewers to data entry errors, navigates skip patterns and randomizes appropriate questions. Interviews were conducted from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Interviews averaged 17 minutes. Those surveyed were asked about the importance of seven different issues. Of that list, respondents ranked maintaining the quality of education in local public schools at the top, with nearly 88 percent. Maintaining local streets and roads came next at 74 percent; followed by protecting the environment at 69 percent; improving public safety at 66 percent; maintaining local property values at 65 percent; and repairing and upgrading aging school facilities at 59 percent. Preventing
FROM DOG, A12 American Kennel Club before he was even 14 months old, which was a rarity. “Dillon acts like he should, ‘a moustached little devil’ who can stare you down, as a monkey does from a tree, is full of comic seriousness, keeps you laughing, is loyal and affectionate to his family and friends, is alert inquisitive and gamey,” said Stacy. “His medium-sized round black eyes are near perfection. Then add sound legs, level topline and proper size and what do have? Dillon. We call him a real one.” When you get a dog like Dillon, who gets his championship and then judges are really starting to look at him as one of the top one or two dogs in his breed, Biszantz said then comes the tough decision
an environmentally-friendly city. We have a number of citizens who are very environmentally sensitive, but we somehow offset that with people who aren’t very sensitive to the environment.” “If we do our part and other cities do their part, we can make a cumulative difference,” Worden agreed. Although Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott supported the first reading of the ordinance, he said he struggled with the idea that a ban was needed. “I’m just a little worried about city councils getting into this kind of regulation,” Sinnott said. “I just worry that we are stepping into an area that is not where we should be. We’re a very tiny city. I think we can get a solution to this problem by getting everybody who issues these plastic bags in one room. Through
local tax increases ranked last with almost 54 percent. “It is important for us to know where the priorities fall within our district,” Decker said. Respondents were asked to rate the quality of education provided in the Solana Beach School District. Of the 300 participants, more than 70 percent rated the quality of education as good or excellent. Nearly 7 percent said fair, less than 2 percent said poor, and less than 2 percent said very poor. Nearly 19 percent said they were not sure. Those surveyed were also asked whether they would favor spending money on various programs and projects, from repairing outdated buildings to replacing portable classrooms. Of the dozen options, respondents ranked providing modern facilities and equipment needed for core courses in math, science engineering, arts and technology at the top, with close to 81 percent. The next highest priorities included improving campus security; repairing or replacing leaky roofs, old plumbing, and electrical systems; repairing and upgrading outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and buildings; and removing hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead paint from older schools. Of the lower ranked programs and projects, creating a centralized kitchen to improve quality, nutritional value meals ranked last with 52 percent. “Those types of projects are really a solid match to what’s in our facilities masters plan,” said Decker, in reference to the top-ranked programs and projects. “That helps us know that there’s some alignment between the kinds of things that our community is interested in seeing us do and what we have in our facilities master plan.” Respondents were also asked for reasons why they would or would not support a bond measure.
of whether to campaign and competitively show the dog. “Dillon was really a fantastic specimen of the breed. Dog shows are really for breeders’ purposes, to get the best dogs with the best temperament and qualities and breed them to create a better dog,” Biszantz said. “I could have been very selfish and want the dog to just stay home with me but he was so fantastic that we felt we owed it to the fanciers to get the opportunity to see Dillon and how good he really is.” After letting Dillon grow up a little at home, he went out to compete last May at the Affenpinscher Club of America’s Nationals. To her surprise, Dillon took second to the world’s #1 Affenpinscher and Biszantz made the decision to make a “run for the
Garden” at Westminster. A run for the Madison Square Garden is a long road — only the top six dogs of that breed are invited, based on a point accumulation. The run also involved Dillon living full time with his handlers. “It broke my heart to drop him off at the Olivera’s home,” Biszantz said. “I cried for what seemed like forever.” To keep her company while Dillon was away, Biszantz relied on her other Affenpinscher Tapper, also from the Tamarin Kennel. Tapper is just 14 months old and takes his job as a companion seriously, sticking close at all times and snuggling into her side on the couch. Dillon’s daily routines during his competitions and leading up to Westminster with his handlers involved regimented exercise on a
education, we can make Del Mar a plastic-free bag area without having to put a city regulation involved.” The ordinance will be brought back to the council for a second reading at the March 7 meeting. If adopted, Del Mar will move forward with a phased implementation period. The city will give retail stores a six-month grace period to phase-out plastic bags. Restaurants and the Del Mar Farmers Market will have a one-year grace period. The ban would not be applicable to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Some types of plastic bags, such as ones used to carry liquid-based takeout foods, will be exempt. Shoppers will be encouraged to bring reusable bags, but retailers can also charge 10 cents or more for each paper bag they distribute.
The top reason in support of a measure was that there will be a clear system of fiscal accountability, including a citizens’ oversight committee and independent audits. Other reasons included protecting the quality of life and local schools; money would stay local; older schools need repairs; and the measure would help support continued high student achievement. Of those who said they would not support the measure, just over 21 percent said they had no particular reason, 21 percent said the money could be mismanaged, and nearly 19 percent said taxes are already too high. Just over 14 percent said they needed more information, 10 percent said the schools are OK, and nearly 9 percent said the district has enough money. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In preparation for a potential bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools, including identifying areas of need and determining project timeframes. If the district moves forward with a bond on the November ballot and the measure passes, the district would need to submit its plans to the Division of the State Architect by December 2016. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. Construction could then start as early as summer 2017, according to district staff.
treadmill, proper nutrition, training for the ring, grooming, nail clippings and more grooming. From May 2015 through February, Biszantz flew and drove to see Dillon compete in shows — places such as Santa Barbara, Arkansas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas, Montana, Colorado and everywhere in between. Biszantz, who works as a realtor, admitted that her clients thought she was a little crazy but it was important for her to be at the competitions. “I think I’ve seen inside every (small town) hotel that you would never want to see inside,” Biszantz said, noting her lodgings in New York City were an upgrade — for Westminster, she stayed at the New Yorker. As a show dog must feel that the handler is its owner, Biszantz always had to keep her distance
from Dillon, which was extremely difficult. “If he saw me, he’d want to come home, that’s the hard thing,” Biszantz said tearfully. “I’m so emotional that he’s coming home this weekend for good.” Dillon’s biggest win in 2015 was at the Eukanuba Nationals in Florida in December, which was followed by the coveted, official invite to Westminster — the biggest reward for a year’s worth of sacrifices. Biszantz had a lot of nervous energy going into New York but it was paired with some sense of relief and excitement. She can’t wait to have both of her boys by her side when Dillon “retires” and go back to just being a dog. Couch cuddling and golf balls await Dillon’s return from the show circuit.

FROM LECTURE, A10 the size of the country when he was president via The Louisiana Purchase, which Jefferson insisted was needed for national security. The Purchase was also important because it integrated a much more diverse group of individuals into the new nation. Brinkley next discussed Andrew Jackson, aka “Old Hickory,” the Indian fighter president, whom actor Sean Penn will play in an upcoming TV special; and James Polk, who increased U.S. land during the Mexican American War. Brinkley spent the most time on President Teddy Roosevelt, who among his many accomplishments was setting aside 234 million acres of wilderness for National Parks. Brinkley labeled Franklin Delano Roosevelt another key president, whose “Big Friendly Government” policies were highly influential until President Ronald Reagan instituted a Big Government rollback in the 1980s.
“
John F. Kennedy, Brinkley said, was one of the most popular presidents with college students. Kennedy started the Green Berets, Navy Seals, and the Peace Corps, in addition to putting a man on the moon. However, the press never reported his many dalliances with women because in those days, Brinkley explained, reporters sought to protect the image of the Presidency. Brinkley touched on some of the “also-rans” for president, like William Jennings Bryan and Ross Perot, noting the Navy Seals gave Perot, Osama Bin Ladin’s walking stick as a gift because “Perot’s the guy who always gives them a job after they exit the Navy.” Brinkley noted the students at Bishop’s seem to be most interested in The Civil War period, but when he was young, he most wanted to study The Revolutionary War and the founding of the country. About this current time in history, Brinkley
said, “The Federal government is very broken right now, no doubt about it!” What he also laments about today, he said, is that people don’t write letters or diaries anymore, which, as a historian, he loves to pour over for historical details. Barry Jagoda, a former CBS news producer and assistant to President Jimmy Carter, was in the audience with praise for Brinkley’s presentation. “In this media age, it is so helpful to have a scholar who can bring historical facts to bear on our contemporary debates, instead of just a bunch of unsubstantiated chatter!” he said. Bishop’s junior Eric Holm, a student in the Advanced Placement U.S. History class, remarked, “Professor Brinkley gave a definitely interesting, if middle-of-the-road or value-neutral, take on the Presidency, which is helpful background for better understanding what’s going on with the Caucus tonight in Iowa.”
When (an aneurism) ruptures, two out of three people die before they reach a hospital. Of the third that reach the hospital, a third of those patients die. And another third don’t return to (their normal self).
”
Dr. Michael Levy, UCSC professor of neurosurgery FROM RUGBY, A6 and investment,” he said. “That’s pretty impressive.” The rugby-crazy kid is a bundle of commitment — focused, responsible, respectful and, at times, disarmingly mature. One time, he invited coaches to meet him over coffee to discuss his health situation. He can be fearless on the pitch, but a gentle breeze off it. “If he’s a bear,” Sandoval said in reference to his family name, “he’s one of those Grateful Dead dancing bears. He’s a little goofy.” That’s how Jackson felt last spring as he tackled an opponent during the final junior-varsity game of the season. As he wrapped up low, a teammate zoomed in higher — planting his knee squarely on Jackson’s head. At first, he balled up on the grass. Then, he wandered off the pitch in a haze and sat down by a light pole. “He was crying, emotional, repeating himself,” said Mandi Baere, Jackson’s mother. “He was not OK.” Stephan drove his son to a nearby hospital. He had suffered a concussion, clearly, but a CT scan revealed something else. There was something, a dark splotch, resting on the right frontal region of Jackson’s brain. There was a pause, then an overwhelming flood of concern that washed over them. Is that a tumor? On his brain? One minute, a family worried about a concussion. The next, time twisted and intensified in a fog of questions lacking answers. Jackson’s thoughts rushed back to the tumor in his left leg as a sixth-grader that had pushed the family to those same dark corners. The tumor proved to be benign, but it made this moment sharp and disturbingly familiar. “I was like, ‘Oh, no — not this again,’ “ he said. “I kind of shrugged it off, though — ‘When can I get back? When can I play?’ “ First, the scare. Next, the game. Then
and always. What about rugby? he asked his parents. What about rugby? he asked doctors? Follow up testing showed Jackson had an aneurysm, a weakened blood vessel that could burst and be fatal. The silent condition could have been a sudden killer. “When one ruptures, two out of three people die before they reach a hospital,” said Dr. Michael Levy, the UCSC professor of neurosurgery who performed the May 11, 2015, surgery at Rady Children’s Hospital. “Of the third that reach the hospital, a third of those patients die. And another third don’t return to (their normal self).” The honest medical appraisal was chilling. “It’s always better to find them,” Levy said, “before they find you.” Decisions change life forever Jackson, who attended a private school when he was younger, was faced with the decision about a high school to attend. He considered Torrey Pines, Cathedral and Santa Fe Christian. Santa Fe started earlier than the other two, so he was forced to decide as he drove to the annual summer camp in Colorado he attended. He narrowed the choices to Santa Fe Christian and Torrey Pines, but had warmed to the idea of trying public school. When he arrived at Torrey Pines, he learned the school offered rugby and joined a team in the fall. When spring arrived, he had to choose between the club rugby season or baseball — the sport he’d played his entire life. “I fell in love with rugby,” he said. “I’m like, ‘Alright, I’m going all in on this.” At the end of the spring, he suffered the concussion that nudged into motion a medical road that possibly saved his life. So many things had to happen for the chain to form and and for it to remain unbroken. If he had chosen Santa Fe Christian — a school that had not yet launched a rugby program — he might
not have connected with the sport. If he decided to stick with baseball, he would not have been on the pitch that day. And if he friend had decided against tackling an opponent, tackling him high and arriving at the exact moment and position to strike Jackson, no CT scan would have been performed. If, if, if … What if any of those ifs never happened? Jackson stopped to consider something a teenager never should. “Any one of those decisions probably changed my life forever,” he said. Boy reunites with special sport The three-hour surgery was a success, repairing the aneurysm without complications. The complicated part, the family soon learned, would be conversations about a contact sport that owned a kid’s heart. The family felt lucky. Would they be willing to push that luck? Levy cleared Jackson medically, labeling him “fully cured” from the aneurysm. The bigger question was the durability of the skull in the area of the surgery. The doctor felt the risk was minimal. “The doctor was awesome, the coaches were awesome,” Stephan Baere said. “It was totally our decision. When we got the doctor’s clearance, Jackson did a lot of research and talked to everyone. He was very thorough. “Without that clearance, though, we would have big-time hesitations.” Jackson waited until the final day of the deadline for athletic papers to play this season, milking every possible day to research and discuss. The family’s fears lessen, but always linger. A week before the win against Cathedral, Mandi winced at the sight of Jackson’s blue, swollen nose — a trophy from another game. They all know, though, that rugby offered something invaluable. “It was meant to happen,” Jackson said. Bryce Miller is a sports columnist for the San Diego Union Tribune

FROM OCEAN AIR, A8 through a long and intense day of competition, fueled by pizza, snacks and constant parental encouragement. At the end of the day students, coaches, and parents gathered in the gym for the awards ceremony. Ocean Air Principal Ryan Stanley was there to cheer for the Ocean Air Sharks. Ocean Air students finished in the top 20 for 15 events. Incredibly, they won first place in Mission Possible. Then it was time for the school awards. The anticipation built up as Regional Director Liz Jablecki announced the top 10 schools. There was a big cheer when Ocean Air came in 5th among 113 teams. Ocean Air was also the top school among
elementary schools. Ocean Air will be going to the California State Championships in April! More than anything else, Science Olympiad introduces young minds to the STEM fields. One of the students said “My favorite part of Science Olympiad is the labs. I love experimenting and testing different ideas to see what happens.” Stacie Waters commented, “We are once again the top elementary school, but we moved up our place from 6th to 5th, unbelievable! Know that you are part of a hardworking team that loves learning! Everyone who experienced the Regional event can say they learned new information and hopefully were inspired by the experience.”

Students shine experiencing ‘The Sparkle Effect’ Torrey Pines sophomore creates inclusive cheer team BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School cheerleader Juliette Dicken is the kind of teenager you can really root for. The big-hearted sophomore is responsible for starting “The Sparkle Effect” at her school this year, a cheerleading team that brings together students with and without disabilities. The team’s first performance took place during halftime at a Junior Varsity basketball game Jan. 19. “I really have a passion for working with people with special needs and I love cheer, I’ve been doing it for 10 years,” Juliette said. “I wanted to do something that includes both of the things that I love doing.” While cheering at the Pop Warner level, Juliette always admired the league’s Challenger Cheer program for individuals with special needs. In searching for a way to bring a similar experience to the high school level she found The Sparkle Effect, a nationwide program that started in Iowa in 2008, founded on the idea that “Inclusion is not so much an activity as it is a way of thinking.” There are over 150 teams in the country but Torrey Pines’ team is the first in San Diego and one of only three teams in California. In order to get The Sparkle Effect up and running at Torrey Pines, Juliette needed to get the necessary approvals from the administration as well as a teacher to be the program’s advisor. She connected with physical education teacher Joy Kuemmerle at the advice of her counselor, Jayme Cambra. Juliette sent Kuemmerle a detailed Power Point presentation. “I chose to get involved because of Juliette,” said Kuemmerle. “Her maturity and her passion for launching this program was nothing I had ever come across from a student, ever. I have the privilege to help support a young woman who wants to do really good things for really good people.” The national Sparkle Effect program sent a trainer to run a half-day clinic to teach the cheer mentors how to work with students with special needs and also gave Juliette a $1,000 national grant for varsity uniforms for the team. Juliette has four peer leaders that help her: sophomores Annette Butler and Ari Durant, and freshmen Kate Ackell and Lexi Patterson. The team currently has 17 cheerleaders and 11 students with disabilities. They meet during fourth period and the cheerleaders help students through their adapted PE

It’s cool it to be on the team with the kids, to teach them, spend time with them and bond.” On game days, they meet up after school to go root for the home team and perform at Junior Varsity basketball match-ups. The Sparkle kids love doing the “Falcon Rock” and “Cardinal and White” cheers at half time and chanting “offense!” and “defense!” while sitting in the front row at games. “I know this is an amazing program because I am privileged to see firsthand some of the effects it has on the students involved. I get to see the smiles, the laughter, the friendships forged, the high fives, the hugs, the cheers, the excitement, the hard work of planning and practices, and even the response from the crowds when we perform our cheers,” Kuemmerle said. “It’s exciting when the loudest cheers at the JV basketball games are those from the crowd after TP Sparkle performs at halftime!” Juliette said that she has definitely noticed a change in team members — some kids who wouldn’t even talk to her in the beginning

Effect is Riley Pathman. “Our son Riley loves doing Sparkle cheer with his friend Juliette,” said Lisa Pathman, Riley’s mom. “Riley is practicing cheer moves with his physical therapist and always looks forward to it. Our family believes in inclusion and we appreciate like-minded people like Juliette who help create opportunities for people with special needs to have a wonderful school experience.” A pep rally is being planned for the end of the month and Juliette would like to organize a team pizza party. She also hopes that Sparkle Effect can get involved cheering at Miracle League games or maybe even at football games next season. She has high goals to make Sparkle Effect its own class period instead of just existing within the adapted PE class. “I hope it becomes an every-year program,” said Juliette. “I want to make sure it carries on after we all graduate.” Kuemmerle is definitely rooting for Juliette and Sparkle Effect’s continued success. “Juliette is amazing. For her to see beyond herself and want to create a cheer program to foster inclusion for those with disabilities is a joyous thing. As my daughter would say, ‘It makes my heart warm’,” Kuemmerle said. “The biggest lessons I have learned from my experiences over the years — but especially this year — are that one, we are all more alike than different, and two, anyone can be a friend to another person.”

BY DIANA SAENGER This seems to be the season for farces with several playing around town. The North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) has staged its share, and is in rehearsal for another one, the U.S. premiere of “Now You See It,” directed by Bruce Turk. Written by French farce favorite Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) and translated by British playwright Kenneth McLeish, the story promises audiences a jealousy-fueled evening involving a philandering husband, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. Allison Minick (“Being Seen,” “Macbeth,” “Oklahoma”) said she’s thrilled to take on the only female role. “I love the play,” Minick said. “I read the script before auditioning and it was so funny and poignant. I heard great things about the North Coast Rep and director Bruce Turk. I love San Diego as I have family there I often visit.” Minick said she finds her character Marie-Louise fun to play, but also challenging. “She suspects her husband is having an affair because she discovered her previous husband had affairs and escapades with several women,” Minick said. “She’s convinced that all men have that inkling in their blood, but MarieLouise learns to navigate in a world where men have the power to take charge. She knows she doesn’t have as many rights, but she’s strong and

Plays explore different sides of Black American Experience BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT February is Black History Month, though some may agree with Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, who famously said, “I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.” So it is, but as recent headlines keep reminding us, being a black American can make for a very distinctive history. This month, two plays offer close looks at some of the challenges that come with being black in this country. One is set in a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn, the other in the rarefied art world of Philadelphia. And both were inspired by true stories.
If You Go ■ “Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray)” • When: 7 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday through Feb. 28 • Where: Moxie Theatre, 6663 El Cajon Blvd., Suite N, • Tickets: (858) 598-7620, moxietheatre.com ■ “Permanent Collection” • When: 7 p.m. Feb. 23 and 27
‘Tears and Laughter’ at Moxie
Moxie Theatre’s “Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray),” about the family of a young black man killed on a Brooklyn street, is the work of a Brooklyn-based, Korean-American playwright, a woman who, like the title character, Tray, is also a boxer. The cast includes director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg’s 13-year-old daughter, Zoë, playing 18-year-old Tray’s little sister — particularly poignant since Zoë herself has a brother about that age. Several years ago, writer Kimber Lee heard about the senseless death of an aspiring boxer who trained in the same Brooklyn gym as she did. The play she came up with shows the remaining members of an already-broken family fighting their way back from tragedy, while flashbacks to happier times let us see just how much has been lost. The head of the family is Grandma Lena, and Silvia M’Lafi Thompson is a powerhouse as the tough-but-tender grandma. As Tray, Cortez L. Johnson gives one of the strongest performances seen here in a long time. He’s got the charm, the heart, the moves, the humor, and finally the resolve of the character so down that you feel your own grief at his loss. Zoë shines as the bereft little sister, Alex Robinson is thoroughly believable as Tray’s homie and Jyl Kaneshiro gives quiet determination to the Korean-American mom who took off years ago and is back for a second chance. “The real struggle is what happens after the news story,” said Sonnenberg, who directed a staged reading of “Brownsville Song” at The Old Globe Theatre last year. “What’s most compelling about this play is the fact that it advocates forgiveness, rather

Cortez L. Johnson and Zoë Sonnenberg as Tray and his sister in ‘Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray),’ onstage at Moxie Theatre through Feb. 28. than destruction.” And the title? As some still remember, the B-side of a single record was the song less known and listened to. Kimber Lee takes what could be just another news story and gets us to pay attention to the telling details of the promising life that was too soon snuffed out. Her language is poetic, authentic-sounding street talk; if you have a problem with four-letter words, get over it, or you’ll miss a great theater experience. There are lots of four-letter words in “Brownsville Song,” but the main one is LOVE.
Artful Reading at Riford Library
Meanwhile, at the La Jolla Library, the new La Jolla Theatre Ensemble, helmed by John Tessmer, is presenting a staged reading of Thomas Gibbons’ “Permanent Collection.” The black man at the center of this play is the new director of a renowned art museum whose collection includes several African pieces. As he drives to work in his Jaguar, he’s stopped by a police officer, who figures the car must be stolen. So his first problem is DWB (Driving While Black) and his second is wanting to make changes in a
tradition-bound institution. The story is an imaginative take on what happened in the 1990s when Philadelphia’s prestigious Barnes Foundation hired an African-American director. Like “Uncanny Valley,” a fascinating piece about human-android interaction by the Philadelphia-based playwright that San Diego REP presented last year, “Permanent Collection” should leave you with plenty to think about. After seeing it in Los Angeles in 2006, one reviewer wrote: “This is the kind of play that makes you love going to see plays.” In the Riford reading, Walter Walter Murray plays Murray plays the museum director a museum director and John Tessmer in ‘Permanent his main adversary Collection’ at the — the same roles Riford Library Feb. they had eight years 23 and 27. ago in a Mo’olelo Theatre production. They both said they loved the play, and thought it was high time to show it again. Since Feb. 22-28 is San Diego Theater Week, why not put some play in your life? The library reading is free, and there are special Moxie discounts online.

Photographer to present 2016 Axline Lecture FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) in Balboa Park will present internationally renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado as featured speaker for the 16th annual Axline Lecture, 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 in the museum’s auditorium. SDMA will also have a selection of works by Salgado, from its permanent collection and from the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Museum of Photographic Arts, on view Feb. 20-May 17. The Brazilian-born artist’s black-and-white photographs are among the most influential images of modern time, capturing the grim realities of industrialization in developing countries, the toll of warfare and the degradation of the natural environment. Salgado is known for working on long-term projects featuring large collections each with hundreds of images from around the world. His quest to capture nature in its unspoiled original state culminated in 2013 with the publication of “Genesis,” a portfolio of 200 black-and-white photographs. The artist and his work are the focus of the Oscar-nominated 2014 documentary, “The Salt of the Earth,” directed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders and the artist’s son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado. SDMA will host a screening of the film 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 in its auditorium. Tickets can be purchased at SDMArt.org and include entrance to the exhibition. Since 2000, SDMA and MCASD have partnered to present the annual Axline Lecture in honor of Jackie and Rea Axline, longtime trustees of both museums. Hosted in alternate years by each museum, it offers an opportunity to say thank you to supporters. A limited number of lecture tickets are available for $5-$10. ■ IF YOU GO: The San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park, downtown San Diego. (619) 232-7931. sdmart.org

CCA Creative Writing Club announces ‘Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award’ Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club recently announced the creation of the Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award. This award will be presented to Jonathan Maberry at the 5th Annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference on Saturday, Feb. 20, at Canyon Crest Academy. As the reputation for the CCA Writers’ Conference continues to grow for its excellence in speakers and enthusiasm of student attendees, the CCA Creative Writing Club has decided to give this award annually to a professional writer who is dedicated to inspiring San Diego teens to: • pursue their artistic endeavors with heart, enthusiasm and integrity • give back to their community • actively improve their art The Club is naming this award after Jonathan Maberry because of his inspirational keynote and enthusiasm for the previous conference, and his reputation in the industry for sharing knowledge with others. Maberry notes, “When I was a teen I had the great good fortune to meet and receive mentoring from a pair of literary giants – Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson. They not only encouraged me to always seek to become better at the craft of writing and the business of publishing, but they encouraged me to help other writers. Writers, they told me, should always help other writers. I took that lesson to heart. We should support one another, offer encouragement, share ideas
and solutions, and help each other over the hurdles on the path to publishing success. “I’m always excited to meet young writers. I can’t wait to see what they’ve written and watch them evolve into the next generation of powerful storytellers. “Receiving this award is incredibly humbling. It is a shared celebration of the creative drive and the power of community, and I am deeply honored.” The Creative Writing Club will also be honoring three authors who have spoken at all five writing conferences: T. Greenwood, Courtney Kilian and Laura Preble. They will be given the CCA Writers’ Conference Super Star Award. The CCA Writers’ Conference is the only free writing conference for high school students in the country. Because of the generosity of Gold Sponsors Chipotle and Summa Education, Silver Sponsors Hamilton College Consulting and Wells Fargo, and Conference Sponsor High Bluff Academy, as well as extensive fundraising by the Creative Writing Club, student attendees will receive a program, handouts, pen, paper and even a free lunch by Chipotle. Sponsorships and fundraising also covers stipends, travel expenses for out of town speakers, facilities, and more. Ginny Beneke, CEO, Summa Education says, “For the past four years, Summa Education has been proud to support the CCA Writers Conference, as it shares our vision of inspiring students to further their

passion for writing and literature.” Chris Hamilton, CEO, Hamilton College Consulting explains, “I sponsor the CCA Writer’s Conference because writing books is just as important as writing code.” The conference will take place in the Proscenium Theater and Media Center, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Feb. 20, at Canyon Crest Academy, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, CA 92130.

San Diego community members, physicians and cancer survivors will come together Saturday, April 16, at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar for the SPARK Gala, an evening to “ignite the fight against cancer.” The gala will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, auction and a special musical performance. Proceeds from the event will benefit patient care and research at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, including helping to launch a new Cancer Immunotherapy Program. “We are proud to have exceptional physicians, researchers and staff who are committed to delivering the best possible care for patients with cancer,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “With support from generous donors, we continue to make great progress in understanding this disease in all of its forms and developing effective therapies.” SPARK, the 35th annual Moores Cancer Center gala, is an opportunity for the community to recognize the advances made in the fight against cancer while garnering support to spur new discoveries. Last year, the event raised more than $5 million for the Cancer Center through the generosity of guests as well as matching gifts. The gala will begin at 6 p.m. with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner, auction and a live music performance. Individual tickets are $600 and sponsorships are available. For event details and reservations, visit sparkgala.org or call (858) 534-4289. To learn more about UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, visit cancer.ucsd.edu.

BY LINDA HUTCHISON The La Jolla Historical Society in tandem with the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will host an opening reception for their joint-exhibit, “William Newport Goodell: painter, craftsman, teacher,” 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. Goodell (1908-1999) was an artist who painted in the bold strokes of American Regionalism and who also made an indelible impression on La Jolla as a teacher and member of the community. For the first time, his collected works are being exhibited here in the two venues. The Historical Society’s part of the exhibit at Wisteria Cottage will showcase Goodell’s self-portraits, family portraits and still life paintings, as well as his craftwork. A wood and metalworker, he made many of his own wood frames and items such as goblets. The exhibit will also include biographical information and photographs. The Athenaeum exhibit venue, opening Feb. 20, will feature Goodell’s landscapes, seascapes and World War II service work. Historical Society Executive Director Heath Fox said there were several reasons for selecting Goodell, even though he is not well known. “He was an interesting character in the history of the community,” Fox explained.

New Research Study to Determine Whether Truckers Can Have Relaxed Sleeping Regulations It is well-known that trucking accidents are some of the most common and deadly across not just California but the United States. According to government research, more
than 30,000 individuals die on highways annually every single year, and accidents involving larger trucks are responsible for about 1 in 7 of those fatalities. Federal trucking regulations have been a focus of the national attention over the last 20 years, and a new research study to be completed by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute will determine whether more freedom and flexibility could be infused into those regulations without impacting safety. The new research study is part of a partnership with the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, and it will explore the experiences of 200 long-haul truck drivers who will not be required to commit to the consecutive 8 hour sleeping requirement in their truck cab. Recent news stories such as the Walmart driver who seriously injured comedian Tracy Morgan in New Jersey have led Congress and members of the public to be more concerned about trucker safety. One of the most important regulations being explored in this study is that involving sleeper berths. Compartments in the truck cabs where drivers sleep are currently an important part of their rest procedure. In
2008, changes were made to the law to require that truckers spend a minimum of 8 of their 10 hours of in-cab requirement in the berth during just one period. The research study will explore whether or not it makes a difference to have 8 hours in one particular period or not. If you or someone you know has been injured in a trucking accident, getting medical help as soon as possible could make a big difference on your ability to heal and move on with your life.

Music at the Maritime brings Haydn to the Harbor The Hausmann Quartet has joined the Maritime Museum of San Diego to launch “Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime,” a quarterly Sunday afternoon concert series aboard the Berkeley, an 1898 steam ferryboat that operated for 60 years on San Francisco Bay. Concerts inside the McKinney deck of this National Historic Landmark docked in downtown San Diego next to Star of India, will explore the evolution of the string quartet through the lens of Joseph Haydn’s quartet cycle. The programming will set his works alongside those of master composers from this era and back to his musical ancestors. “The ferryboat provides an extraordinary venue from which to experience the music of this master while taking in San Diego’s picturesque harbor scenery,” said Mark Montijo, Maritime Museum vice-president. The inaugural season opens Sunday, Feb. 21 with future concerts May 15, Sept. 25 and Nov. 20. All concerts start at 4 p.m. with the museum open for touring (free with ticket) from 9 a.m. Refreshments at 3 p.m. Concerts will also include commentary from UC Santa Barbara musicologist Derek Katz.
Feb. 21: Beginning, Entr’acte, Finale
The inaugural concert will feature Haydn’s (aka Father of the String Quartet) first and last string quartets, offering a portrait of his development and mastery of the genre. His final quartet (opus 77/2) was completed in 1799, and inspired 2013 Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte from 2011. The concert also includes maverick American/Mexican composer Conlon Nancarrow’s first quartet (1945) and Haydn’s very first quartet, opus 1/1 (1757).
beautiful view of the four seasons based in part on Indian philosophy. Haydn’s first quartet in the opus 20 series (”Sun”) likewise opens a new door of possibilities, as each instrument is liberated and given equal importance, a departure from the violin-driven tradition of the past. His “Sunrise” Quartet op. 76/4 closes the program.
Sept. 25: Folk Festivities
Haydn was one of the first classical composers to incorporate popular, folk and Hungarian material into the string quartet, and the opus 42 and 54/2 quartets are some of the most evocative examples of this exploration. Hear two more examples from the 21st century: Linde Timmerman’s Cante de Ida y Vuelta (Round Trip Songs), inspired by the folk traditions of South America and Spanish flamenco, and Brooklyn-based composer/violinist Colin Jacobsen’s Brooklesca, which plays homage to the diverse borough he calls home, complete with winks to his musical ancestors. SAM ZAUSCHER
The Hausmann Quartet includes violinists Isaac Allen and Bram Goldstein, violist Angela Choong and cellist Alex Greenbaum.
May 15: Haydn and Cage
John Cage and Haydn may appear to be an unlikely musical couple, but they were both titans of their eras, influencing entire generations of composers and defining the style of their times: Haydn as the epitome of classicism and Cage as the trailblazer of the post-war avant-garde. Cage’s String Quartet in Four Parts (1950) is a spare,
Nov. 20: London Travels
Haydn’s opus 74/1 reflects the worldly, cosmopolitan style of his later years. The British connection continues with the String Quartet no. 1 of Benjamin Britten (arguably the Empire’s finest composer), written in the summer of 1941 here in Southern California, and opens with his teacher Frank Bridge’s hauntingly beautiful “Three Idylls.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime” concerts take place at 1492 N. Harbor Drive in downtown San Diego. Tickets at the door, sdmaritime.org or (619) 432-2314 are $10-$25, four-concert series $80. Nearby lots have $10-a-day parking. Concerts last 1 hour, 45 minutes.

County Supervisor Dave Roberts (right) was among the volunteers and staff who recently helped remove marine debris by kayaking to hard-to-reach spots in the central basin of San Elijo Lagoon.
Volunteers needed to help restore habitats in lagoon Big rains and King Tides mean nature needs a helping hand with marine debris. On Jan. 29, San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and County of San Diego Parks and Recreation rangers held a special waterway cleanup. Volunteers and staff removed marine debris by kayaking to hard-to-reach spots in the central basin of San Elijo Lagoon. County Supervisor Dave Roberts joined in the cleanup. Eighty-percent of marine debris comes from inland sources. While public watercraft activities aren’t allowed in the lagoon, debris removal efforts are arranged as needed. Volunteers are encouraged to help restore native habitats in the lagoon, and for more information, the website is www.sanelijo.org/lagoonplatoon.

Poetry’s the star in Globe farce ‘The Metromaniacs’
D
irector Michael Kahn certainly knew what he was doing when he commissioned playwright David Ives to adapt Alexis Piron’s 17th century farce “La Métromanie” for a modern audience. The result is a laugh a minute. The very oh-so-French fun takes place in 18th-century Paris where poets are celebrated and renowned. Francalou (Adam LeFevre) is a wealthy gentleman who thrives on writing his own plays, and plans to stage one in his Parisian home to draw out his poetry-mad daughter Lucille (Amelia Pedlow), and perhaps find her a mate. But this ditsy dish becomes interested in Dorante (Cary Donaldson) who falls for her head over heels. The only problem is, Dorante’s the son of her father’s sworn enemy. Luckily, the poised-for-prominence poet Damis appears on scene (Christian Conn), and though he’s looking for someone else (the mysterious poetess Meriadec de Peauduncqville), Francalou advises him that Lucille is the treasure he seeks. Damis’ valet, Mondor (Michael Goldstrom), has a great time getting his fingers into this brewing situation. Now it’s time for Lucille’s maid, Lisette (Dina Thomas), to step in and further the confusion. Ives has written what could be a three-ring circus under any tent. The stage’s beautiful scenic design by James Noone makes the characters’ mix-ups even more compelling as they duck in and out of trees and garden scenery, using clever and comical rhyming dialogue to explain everything that is happening. And things are happening in lightning speed (a big accomplishment of the cast and director). The cast is superb. Conn is the energizer bunny, writing his poetry and hopping all around the stage, totally into his character. As Dorante, his rival, who couldn’t write a poem to save his life or win the lovely Lucille,

Adam LeFevre as Francalou, Dina Thomas as Lisette and Cary Donaldson as Dorante in the West Coast premiere of David Ives’ ‘The Metromaniacs.’ Donaldson excels in portraying a man frozen by feelings of love. Still, that doesn’t keep him from entering the whirlwind mix-ups. Thomas, as Lisette, delightfully portrays the one who has her eye on the prize. When playing two different characters at a time, she’s extremely amusing. Damis’ Uncle Baliveau (Peter Kybart) is a staunch addition to the stock of characters and Damis' valet, Mondor, keeps the comedy roulette spinning. But it’s Pedlow as Lucille who steals the show. When she’s taught by Lisette some feminine wiles to win and woo, she captivates every scene. For those who think poetry is not their thing, prepare to be tickled with a feather. In this great farce, the vice of verse and the hysterics on stage bemuse and captivate; certainly an accomplishment for Ives, Kahn and the Globe’s production team. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘“The Metromaniacs,” runs through March 6 on the Shiley Stage at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

The more the berrier: The Berry Good Food Foundation branches out
H
ere’s the good food news. There’s a powerful group of heavy hitters who are working intensely for healthy food solutions for the environment and the consumer, like all of us. Last month a group of dedicated food activists, goat farmers and breeders, organic chefs and purveyors, along with members of the media gathered at the jaw-dropping La Jolla estate of Michelle Lerach, founder of the Berry Good Food Foundation, to scarf down organic, sustainable fare, and bone up on current and future programs and activities of the flourishing non-profit organization. The board members and advisory board that reads like a Who’s Who of the sustainable food community includes, Catt Fields White, who consults, develops and manages farmers’ markets in San Diego county, Deborah Szekely, Rancho La Puerta founder and organic food and healthy lifestyle pioneer, Riley Davenport, owner, Edible San Diego, Stone Brewery craft beer king, Greg Koch, Sandra Broussard, director of sales operations from Be Wise Ranch, and Claudia Ehrlich, senior director of External Relations at the Salk Institute. These sustainable kindred spirits are planting the
seeds to grow a “healthy, integrated food system by educating, connecting and supporting food producers and consumers. The foundation envisions a region where all people can choose local, sustainably produced food.” First on the board’s agenda is a series of Future Thought Leader Forums in the format of panel discussions covering a wide range of sustainable food-related topics. These span from the importance of soil as a climate change mitigator (Feb. 2), to human and environmental health issues regarding meat production (May 17), the problems of food waste (Aug. 23), and the new world of seafood (Nov. 11). These are all free and open to the public. In addition, the BGFF developed an educational branch called the Berry Good Food Academy spearheaded by Jack Ford of TAJ farms, providing traditional hands-on home economic classes, including cheese-making, canning and preserving, while emphasizing the ethos of minimizing food waste. Free classes are offered to farmers and members of the food community, along with scholarship and volunteer opportunities for other sustainable students.
Finally, the organization is in the midst of launching a School Pilot Program based on the educational model of Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center in National City, a sprawling farm donated to the International Community Foundation by John Walton, son of Sam “Wal-Mart” Walton. The curriculum will include planting, gardening, composting, harvesting, cooking, preserving, along with nutrition and the environmental impact of these modules. Parents and students can partake in these classes as local chefs enlighten, entertain, nourish and share their passion with the community. That deserves an ‘A’ in my (cook) book. To help support these community outreach projects, BGFF will be sponsoring a “Berry Good Night” fundraiser on March 18, reminiscent of the locavore extravaganzas of the past seven years hosted at the Lerach estate with sweeping views of the Pacific. A garden tour and cocktail hour is then followed by an alfresco Romanesque feast prepared by celebrated San Diego and Baja chefs in collaboration with organic farmers, vintners and brewers with all food and drinks sourced within 100 miles of the event. Diners can hone their culinary skills at interactive food stations, and rub elbows with the glitterati of the sustainable food community, along with budding young farmers and their four-legged friends. Now my contribution is this tipsy treat of mixed berries infused with liqueur and citrus. Cheers! And for more information about the Berry Good Food Foundation and upcoming events, call 858-480-9702 or check out berrygoodfood.org
