Council tackles short-term vacation rentals BY JOE TASH The hot potato political issue of short-term vacation rentals has landed back on the plate of the Del Mar City Council. Short-term rentals have become controversial in this coastal city in recent years with the advent of online rental services such as AirBnB. Permanent residents complain about such problems as noise, litter and parking shortages caused by visitors,

while property owners say they depend on the rental income. Former councilman Al Corti pointed to his stance on short-term rentals – he was in favor of stronger regulations to protect residents but against an outright ban – as one of the reasons he lost his bid for re-election in November. Last month, rather than tackling the issue directly, the council voted 4-1 to send it to the

city’s Planning Commission for an interpretation of whether short-term vacation rentals are allowed in Del Mar’s residential zones. But that move didn’t pan out. Instead of weighing in on the controversy, the Planning Commission on Tuesday, Feb. 14, said that it didn’t have enough information to make a recommendation.

County Supervisors wait on community choice energy study BY KAREN BILLING Despite many public comments in support, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors opted not to go forward with a feasibility study on community choice aggregation (CCA), instead voting to wait a year and see how other cities’ and jurisdictions’ studies progress. Currently the cities of San Diego and Solana Beach are conducting studies on CCA and the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas and Oceanside are also considering community choice energy. A CCA program allows local

governments to buy and sell electricity generated by renewable resources while the utility continues to deliver power through the grid, maintain the grid and provide other customer services. Entities who have CCAs in operation include Marin County, Sonoma County, Lancaster and San Francisco. The study was estimated to cost $200,000. In choosing not to support the study, Vice Chair Kristin Gaspar said none of the SEE STUDY, A24

BY JOE TASH The city of Del Mar will create 149 new metered parking spaces in the North Beach area, and adjust parking fees and hours, under a plan approved Tuesday, Feb. 21, by the City Council. The plan required approval by the California Coastal Commission. Parking fees charged by the new meters, as well as 243 existing meters, will vary from $1.50 to $3 per hour. The range is the same as the current fee structure for existing meters, according to a city staff report. However, once the new fee structure is in place, visitors will pay a maximum of $15 per day for beach parking. Currently, city officials said, there is no daily maximum, and visitors must pay hourly for their entire stay. The North Beach area, also known as Dog Beach, is across Camino Del Mar from the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and north of the mouth of the San Dieguito Lagoon. The new parking spots will be primarily on the east side of Camino Del Mar, north

of the lagoon, and on the south side of Via de la Valle, said Kristen Crane, management services director. Another change is that signs prohibiting parking between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. near North Beach will have to be removed, and parking will be allowed overnight. City Manager Scott Huth said city staff tried to convince the Coastal Commission to allow a prohibition on parking in that area between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., but the panel turned down the request. Huth said cars will be allowed to park overnight to allow beach access, but sleeping or camping in cars parked at North Beach will not be permitted. Mayor Terry Sinnott said the city should challenge the Coastal Commission regarding the overnight parking issue, but other members of the council wanted to approve the overall parking plan. The council voted 4-1 to approve the plan, with Sinnott opposed, on Tuesday. One reason to move forward, said council SEE PARKING, A26

El Camino Real widening, new bridge to begin in 2021 BY KAREN BILLING San Diego City Council approved a site development permit for the widening of El Camino Real and the replacement of the existing aging, narrow bridge across the San Dieguito River at its Feb. 14 meeting. District 1 Councilmember Barbara Bry quickly made the motion to approve the long-awaited project. “The community is delighted, excited and ready,” Bry said. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board unanimously approved the project in August 2016 and construction is scheduled to begin in 2021 and to be completed by 2023. With the project, the road will be raised and

moved to the east, widened to four lanes between San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle. The current bridge, which has been deemed seismically deficient, will be demolished and replaced with a wider, 76-foot-wide bridge, more friendly for the cyclists that frequent the thoroughfare. The eastern alignment was determined to be the environmentally superior alternative for the widening, offering minimum impacts to land use and the best long-term improvement for traffic conditions. As it is the environmentally superior alternative, the project would qualify for $15-$20 million in federal funding from the Federal Highway Administration.

The road will be 60 feet from curb to curb, with a total width of 104 feet, which includes a 22-foot parkway, bike lanes and sidewalks. The existing El Camino Real will stay as an access road to the existing businesses. For the new bridge, the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority is seeking grant funding to build a cantilever on the west side to allow for safe horse crossings. Signals will be installed at the intersections of San Dieguito Road, at the Del Mar Horsepark entrance and at Via de la Valle, where the road will now line up with the existing De la Valle Place. An undercrossing will connect the Coast to Crest Trail where it runs through the valley.

Hundreds turn out for rally to support Obamacare BY TERI FIGUEROA Several hundred people turned out for a town hall rally in Vista Tuesday night, Feb. 21, chanting and cheering in support of Obamacare. The invited guest, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, who also represents the cities of Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Camp Pendleton, did not attend the gathering, held at the Jim Porter Recreation Center at Brengle Terrace Park, about 5 miles from Issa’s district headquarters. His absence wasn’t surprising — earlier in the day he’d met with more than 225 people, including about 75 Trump supporters and 150 protesters who were camped outside of his office, taking questions on a range of topics, from immigration to the travel ban to healthcare. His spokesman said last week that

Issa had other commitments that made it unlikely he would attend the town hall. Nationwide, there has been increasing pressure on members of Congress to hold such meetings, primarily from people concerned about President Donald Trump’s policies. The group that organized Tuesday’s event has held weekly protests at Issa’s office and raised $6,000 for a full-page newspaper ad urging him to attend the town hall, which focused on the Affordable Care Act. Labor unions and healthcare advocacy groups funded the event. Prior to the meeting, Denny Cope, an Encinitas woman who is raising her grandchildren and attended the town hall, said she lived for 24 years without health insurance until she was able to receive Medicare at age 65. She doesn't want to see the same fate for other people. “[Issa's] vote to

repeal the Affordable Care Act will leave about 5 million people in California uncovered," Cope said. "I don't want anyone to have to suffer through years without healthcare like I did. No one should have to decide [whether] to buy groceries for their children or grandchildren or re-order required over-priced prescription drugs.” She said her main concern is what happens to Medicare and Medi-Cal. Fallbrook resident Holly Nelson, a licensed clinical social worker, said she was disappointed that Issa did not show — but still, she left heartened after hearing from other like-minded people. “As a constituent, I want my voice heard,” Nelson said. “But (it was good) to see that I wasn’t alone in my feelings, that other people want to fight for this important issue.” SEE OBAMACARE, A24

New SDG&E transmission line project to begin soon BY KAREN BILLING Construction will soon begin on SDG&E’s new Sycamore-Penasquitos 230 kV transmission line, which runs from the Sycamore Canyon substation in Miramar to the Penasquitos substation in Torrey Hills. The purpose of the project is to improve reliability, deliver imported energy more efficiently to the San Diego coastal areas and integrate more renewable energy into SDG&E’s system, helping to meet the state policy goals following the early retirement of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The work is expected to be complete by June 2018. The new transmission line runs 11.5 miles underground and three miles above ground, coming from the south through Mira Mesa. This route for the project was considered the “environmentally superior alternative” and was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in October last year — it includes undergrounding of the

Bikes, cars struggle to share Coast Highway

BY PHIL DIEHL A growing movement in North County to transform Coast Highway 101 into a more bicycle-friendly thoroughfare hasn’t been without its rough spots as commuters on two and four wheels struggle to share the road. From Del Mar to Oceanside, cities are looking to slow traffic, widen bike lanes and implement other changes that encourage people to get out of their cars and use alternate forms of transportation. The reaction isn’t always pretty. “I’ve had people yell at me that the road is for cars,” said Michael Faulstich, who rides a bike from his home in Encinitas to work at the Salk Institute in La Jolla most weekdays. “They don’t get it that I’m just another vehicle.” Del Mar resident David Shannahoff-Khalsa said trying to put bikes on equal footing with cars is ridiculous. “Traffic is already severe,” he said. “Why make a bottleneck? We have to have some kind of common sense.” Solana Beach finished an overhaul on its portion of Coast Highway in 2013, completing a $7 million project that converted the road to narrower lanes with wide sidewalks, gathering spaces and buffered bike lanes. Encinitas made changes in Leucadia, reducing traffic lanes and adding “sharrows” — large white markers painted on the asphalt — to remind drivers to slow down and share the lane. Del Mar and Oceanside are studying similar changes, hoping to better accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians and create a more vibrant environment for businesses and residents along the coast. The changes are praised by urban planners like Dan Burden who say they signal the start of “a whole new era for transportation.”

BROKER ASSOCIATE

“The future is about building our cities for people,” said Burden, who spoke Feb. 16 at a Carlsbad forum on the past, present and future of Highway 101. Cars will still be accommodated, he said, but streets should be designed to encourage people to drive slower and safer, and to reward them for taking short trips instead of long ones. Not everyone is there yet. After a re-striping pilot program was launched last year in Oceanside — reducing parts of Coast Highway from two to four lanes, and adding wider bike lanes — more than 400 people signed a petition against the changes. Led by a group called Save South O, they said a narrower road might work in a touristy area like downtown but not in a neighborhood where the road is frequented by locals headed to work or home. “The entire corridor is not the same in terms of residents and businesses,” South Oceanside resident Joel West told the City Council in November. “Our neighborhood does not have a pier or high-rise hotels… We depend on Coast Highway for circulation.” In fact, Highway 101 was built nearly a century ago to get cars between San Diego and Los Angeles as quickly as possible. Interstate 5 took over that job in the 1960s, but it’s now choked with traffic during the morning and evening commute — prompting San Diego motorists to cut over to Coast Highway as an alternate route. A back-up freeway isn’t the vision that city planners have for the historic road. Instead of escorting drivers out of town, they see the coastal route as a way to invite people in, to stop and shop, ride bicycles, enjoy the beach, and maybe meet some new people or old friends. Leaders of the region’s robust cycling community say slowing traffic and SEE COAST, A26

Ashley Falls students design new school garden BY KAREN BILLING Ashley Falls Elementary School sixth graders played a big role in designing a new school garden, learning about working with a limited budget and using real world math to calculate the costs, geometry to determine the volume of the beds to purchase soil and sharpening their number sense working with percentages. The garden challenge was designed by teachers Caitlin Williams, Melissa Davis and Traci Zuckerman to not only bring the school garden back to life but create a hands-on learning experience for students. The student-led team presented their project to the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board on Feb. 15. When Ashley Falls opened, a garden was included on campus and some things have been planted over the years but there has never truly been student interaction with it, according to Williams who has been at

Williams made a request to the PTA last year to improve the garden and received $4,000 to work with. Instead of the teachers coming up with something to do with the garden, Williams said they decided to present the challenge to the sixth graders so they would have some ownership over the garden. “Their task was to create the most space-efficient, cost-effective, appealing

garden that would actually be built this year,” Williams said. The kids were given a budget of $2,000 and were tasked with designing a garden map which designated locations of required elements of garden beds, compost bins, a shed, water attachment and a hose.

Del Mar curriculum coordinator honored for her work BY KAREN BILLING Dinah Brown, Del Mar Union School District’s coordinator of curriculum and instruction, was recently named the Association of California School Administrators’ curriculum and instructor administrator of the year for the San Diego region. At the Feb. 15 Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board meeting, Superintendent Holly McClurg recognized Brown for her “exceptional” work in the district, shaping the math curriculum and leading professional development for teachers. “She’s impacted every student in every classroom,” McClurg said. “Every teacher in our district can tell you that they are a better teacher because they’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with Dinah.”

Brown joined the Del Mar district in June 2013, coming from Oceanside Unified School District where she had worked for 24 years. Brown had worked as a consultant in DMUSD prior to being selected as the coordinator of curriculum and instruction. “The minute we saw her with our teachers, sharing how to best implement exceptional practices for teaching mathematics, we knew that Dinah was a gem and we didn’t only want her part of the time, she needed to be a part of our team and truly help move our district full speed ahead in doing great things for mathematics,” McClurg said.

RSF resident’s home setting for show featuring female leaders BY KELLEY CARLSON lready firmly established in mainstream media, Abbey Gibb’s career is soaring to new heights through web TV. The Emmy Award-winning journalist, who is an anchor and reporter for FOX 5 San Diego, recently launched abbeygibb.tv with the help of her friend Janet Lawless Christ of Rancho Santa Fe. The online TV network focuses on lifestyle aspects such as healthy and simple meal preparation, and fashion and soul nurturing. A new show - Bossify will debut April 5, which will feature San Diego-area female leaders discussing their personal definitions of success. “Mind, body, spirit - this is a way to fully nourish every aspect of being a woman,” Gibb said. Christ was the catalyst for putting together the project, she noted. The women met just over a year ago while filming a TV segment on area mansions on the market. Christ - a Realtor with Coldwell Banker - was an agent for a property in the Rancho del Lago community, and Gibb was assigned the story. “Abbey walked in the door, and I really felt like, ‘Where have you been all my life?’ ” Christ said. They quickly became close friends, and Christ helped Gibb

Christ had such strong faith in Gibb that she provided her with seed money as a sponsorship to start her own company.

teachers, lawyers, media moguls, entrepreneurs and transgender police officers, who are asked the same five questions centered around their definition of success. A different woman is featured each week in an 8- to 12-minute episode, filmed at Christ’s Rancho Santa Fe home. The first season will consist of 12 episodes, one released every other week on “Woman Crush Wednesday.” There will also be a 12-episode podcast, featuring 12 more women, which will be released in alternate weeks. Gibb, who resides in San Diego, said she is in discussions for Bossify to become a nationallysyndicated TV show. A book is also in the works, along with the development of a platform along the lines of the influential TED Talks videos. “I believe the most inspirational people are those who find blessings in what looks like defeat or great challenges,” Gibb said. “They become more resilient, self-aware, and capable of serving others. I’ve always had a vision for my life, a need to serve, empower and help. This network and Bossify are my way of sharing the amazing inspiration I get from the successful women I meet every day.”

Jeff Deverett – on location in his adoptive San Diego – a producer’s story BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN The life of intrepid film producer and entrepreneur Jeff Deverett, a Carmel Valley resident, reads like a blockbuster movie script. Growing up with an identical twin brother, Larry, made it tough to have a sense of individuality. Deverett, however, always dreamed of producing movies, particularly family-oriented, independent ones, and sharing meaningful and wholesome messages with the world. The standing joke among Deverett’s buddies is that when Jeff makes a film, everyone knows how it’s going to end — with a satisfying and positive resolution. He recalls having a heart-to-heart with his dad when planning his future career. Deverett senior advised young Jeff that he should follow his passion and do what he wants to – as long as he goes to law school first. After accepting his father’s suggestion, and graduating in 1985 from the “Harvard of the North,” Osgoode Hall Law School), the neophyte filmmaker landed in his industry of choice with a Toronto-based company called Astral Communications as Vice President of Independent Film Distribution. There, he earned his stripes by learning all facets of the independent film industry. Currently he is President and

CEO of Deverett Media Group, a film and TV production and distribution company located in San Diego. The filmmaker owes the life-changing move to his wife. “Debra said she would divorce me if she had to spend one more winter in Canada. I did simple math, and figured that a move would be cheaper than a divorce,” jokes Deverett. San Diego also fit the bill for climate, lifestyle, and an ideal environment to raise their boys. So far, his industry accomplishments include several family movies in worldwide distribution through Netflix, on which he acted as executive producer. Full Out is a true story of courage and optimism when a 14-year-old San Diegan gymnast named Ariana Berlin missed her chance at the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing because of a debilitating car accident. Through persistence and sheer grit, she made a miraculous comeback to pursue her dream. In My Brother’s Keeper, identical twins plan on competing in the National Rowing Championships.

Jeff Deverett, president and CEO of Deverett Media Group Feb. 23, will be debuting on Netflix in April this year. Spoiler alert: This is a true story and a weeper about an accomplished Canadian figure skater, singer and songwriter named Carley Allison, whose dreams and aspirations are dashed as she battles an extremely rare form of tracheal cancer, with only a few cases diagnosed in the world.

Carley’s role is played by her real life best friend Sarah Fisher to share her positive energy and inspirational message: “Always smile, despite the avalanche of adversities that are dealt to you.” Carley mustered her fierce competitive spirit against her toughest nemesis – cancer – giving us all a lesson in courage, grace and dignity.

Ocean Air Elementary advances to Southern California State Science Olympiad Competition

Free teen heart screening A free teen heart screening for students 12 to 25 will be held Sunday, Feb. 26, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, sponsored by the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation. The screening is offered by the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation, which has screened nearly 22,000 teens for heart abnormalities that put about 1 in 100 students at risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest - a leading cause of death under 25, and the #1 killer of student athletes. Heart screenings are not a part of annual checkups or pre-participation sports physicals, even though most heart conditions have no warning signs or unrecognized symptoms -- which is why Eric’s Foundation screens for free.

Parents simply register at epsavealife.org/register/ to download a screening packet that you complete and bring to the event. Walk-ins are also accepted and paperwork is available onsite if online registration is not possible. Screenings take less than an hour. Parents need not be present for youth who have a signed and completed screening packet. Students wear t-shirt, sweat pants or sports shorts to the screening. Girls wear a sports bra. Please bring a self-addressed stamped enveloped in which a copy of your child’s ECG will be mailed back to you to add to their medical records. Sage Creek High School is located at 3900 Cannon Road, Carlsbad, 92010.

Ocean Air Elementary students placed seventh overall in the San Diego Regional Science Olympiad Competition at Carlsbad High School on Feb. 4, securing their place in the Southern California State Competition to be held on April 8 at the California Institute of Technology. The Science Olympiad is a middle school competition, with 117 teams from 35 schools competing. Ocean Air, competing against top middle schools in San Diego, was the only elementary school to qualify for State. This is the fourth consecutive year that Ocean Air qualified. Starting in September 2016, students embarked on the adventure of studying for this competition. This is no easy task. There are 23 event categories, focusing on various life science, earth and space science, bio-chemistry/lab, and engineering topics. Split into two teams, aptly named Ocean Air Rocks and Ocean Air Wins, each student worked with a partner to master the material in three-four separate events. This involves 8-10 hours of formal instruction per week, plus outside study time. Organized and coordinated by Ocean Air’s science teacher, Stacie Waters, parent volunteers and high school student volunteers tirelessly

The hard work of these young, ambitious kids and their coaches really shows in the results. Ocean Air students placed in 14 of the 23 event categories, achieving top 10 results in nine events, and an amazing first place result in one event. These results are even more amazing when you consider that Ocean Air was competing against students averaging two-three grade levels above them.

When asked what she likes about Science Olympiad, 6th grade student Dasha Zerboni answered, “I love the competition and I love learning about different science subjects. I learned about all sorts of diseases and what they are caused by. I learned to build towers and what braces, material and shape make them stronger. I learned lots of scientific terminology. I can name almost every rock and mineral there is. And, I can name almost all the major bones in the body! Isn’t that cool?”

This walk audit will be conducted in four segments of the Corridor on Saturday, March 4, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., and the

community is invited to participate in this walk audit to help assess existing conditions, future needs, share ideas and voice concerns to the project team. Please come and discuss opportunities to help improve driving, walking and biking in the City of Solana Beach. The community walk audit will be broken into four segments: Cedros Ave to Granados Ave.; Stevens Ave. to I-5 Freeway; Santa Helena to Via Mil Cumbres; Lomas Santa Fe/Highland.

Community meeting on Skyline School reconstruction Thanks to voter approval, Measure JJ, the Solana Beach Schools GO Bond initiative, passed in November 2016. A number of school construction projects will begin in June 2017. One of those projects will be the complete reconstruction of Skyline Elementary School. The reconstruction of Skyline includes demolition of current structures, grading, and rebuilding of classrooms, administration, parking, multipurpose room, and other elements of a comprehensive elementary school. Solar

panels will be placed in parking lots, walkway canopies, and the lunch shelter. The reconstruction project will begin June 2017. The school will be ready for occupancy in Fall 2018. These are exciting times in the district, which looks forward to providing students with greatly enhanced learning environments.

The meeting will be held Tuesday, March 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Skyline Activity Center.

Local named Presidential Scholar in the Arts candidate Canyon Crest Academy student Jayden Gillespie has been named one of 60 Presidential Scholar in the Arts candidates in 2017. The candidates were nominated from over 11,000 participants in the annual YoungArts competition conducted by the National YoungArts Foundation. If named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts, Jayden will be the first male African American high Jayden school student to have earned Gillespie the honor. In addition to being a Presidential Scholar candidate, Jayden’s film “Slide” is also being featured in the 2017 24th Annual Latino Film Festival. Jayden is the son of Dr. Robert and Mrs. Lisa Gillespie. Semifinalists will be announced early April and Scholars in May. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by Executive Order of the President to recognize some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic

success, leadership, and service to school and community. It was expanded in 1979 to recognize students demonstrating exceptional scholarship and talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was expanded once again to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical fields. Annually, up to 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars are chosen from among that year’s senior class, representing excellence in education and the promise of greatness in America’s youth. All Scholars are invited to Washington, DC in June for the National Recognition Program, featuring various events and enrichment activities and culminating in the presentation of the Presidential Scholars Medallion during a White House-sponsored ceremony. For more information about the U.S. Presidential Scholars program, parents and students can call the Presidential Scholars Office at 507-931-8345, or send an e-mail to PSP@scholarshipamerica.org.

The team’s design and promotional video created over two days edged out 45 other entries to claim the $3,000 top prize. “The industrial technology program allows me to design creative innovations to cutting-edge products and packages through exploration of the physical and chemical compositions of these products,” Billmeyer said.

Former MLB pitcher speaks at TPHS Baseball Lecture Series

orrey Pines High School’s Baseball Program recently presented its fifth annual Lecture Series event featuring former MLB pitcher Jim Abbott who spoke on the topic “Perseverance & Overcoming Adversity.” The event also included a private reception. Abbott was born Sept. 19, 1967, in Flint, Michigan without a right hand. He was an All-American hurler at Michigan; won the Sullivan Award in 1987; was the pitcher for the Gold Medal Olympic Team in 1988; and threw a 4-0 no-hitter for the New York

Yankees versus Cleveland (Sep. 4, 1993). Abbott played for 10 seasons on four different teams and ended his big league playing career in 1999. Abbott has worked with The Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) on several initiatives encouraging businesses to hire people with disabilities. Today, in addition to often being a guest pitching instructor during spring training for the Los Angeles Angels, Abbott is a motivational speaker. Online: www.delmartimes.net

Senior Dinner held for Torrey Pines boys lacrosse team The Torrey Pines boys lacrosse team celebrated its Senior Dinner on Feb. 15 at Morgan Run Club & Resort. “The Annual Senior Dinner is one of many wonderful traditions in our Torrey Pines lacrosse program. An evening for our seniors to address one another on what the program means to them and what they hope to accomplish in their final season together,” reflects Head Coach Jono Zissi.

CCA closed out the 2016-2017 regular season with wins over La Costa Canyon 51-42 and San Dieguito Academy 75-54. The Ravens finished the season with school record, 20 wins. At La Costa Canyon, CCA was down by as many as 12 points in the first half before a strong defensive effort helped them take control of the game in the third quarter. The Ravens never trailed in the second half. Ryan Michaels and Tyler Elsom led with 11 and 10 points respectively. On Friday against San Dieguito, CCA held a narrow lead most of the game before a dominating fourth quarter performance put the game out of reach for the visitors from SDA. MJ Metz led the game with 21 points and Aaron Acosta, back from an ankle injury, scored 12. Following the win on Friday, Canyon Crest (20-7) was awarded the top seed in the CIF Division 2 playoffs and will host a first round game on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. against the 16th seed, the Del Norte Nighthawks (12-15). The two teams played earlier in the season with CCA winning 46-27. If Canyon Crest defeats Del Norte,

Rebounding from a late start to retirement savings BY METRO CREATIVE ome people do not have the ability to begin saving for retirement early on. Others may have brushed retirement savings aside for so long that they are now worried that it’s too late to begin socking away money for retirement. While it’s best to start saving for retirement as early as possible, the good news is that it’s never too late to start planning for retirement. If your 40th birthday has long passed and you’re finally thinking ahead to retirement, consider these catch-up strategies. Research tax-advantageous retirement savings plans. A financial planner can point you in the right direction, or consult with your employer about employee programs. Deposit money into a 401(k) or 403(b) plan or another retirement vehicle. Jump on any opportunities when your employer matches invested funds. Investigate an IRA and find out if there are any government incentives. Depending on your age, you may be able to deposit more money into such accounts than other investors. Cut back on expenses. Cutting back on unnecessary expenses is a great way to save more money for retirement. Figure out where you can save some money you can then allocate to retirement savings. Maybe you can reduce insurance coverage on an older car or raise your deductible? Downsize cable packages or skip that costly cup of coffee on the way to work. Perhaps it’s time to look for a smaller, less expensive home or a compact car instead of an SUV. Any money saved now will benefit you when the time comes time to bid farewell to the workforce. Delay your retirement. Many people who retire find themselves bored and

It’s never too late to start planning for retirement. looking for ways to fill their time, and, as a result, more and more people are delaying their retirement, which also gives them more time to save for that day when they do call it quits. If you want to work less, discuss and negotiate a phased retirement with your bosses that allows you to stick with your employer but gradually work fewer hours until you retire completely. You may be able to work part-time for several years and retire

when you’re most comfortable. Consider more aggressive funds. Even if you are 50 you still have a few decades before retirement, which leaves lots of time to grow your retirement savings. But you may want to consider more aggressive funds that can help you catch up more quickly than less aggressive investments. Just know that aggressive funds may also leave you susceptible to substantial losses.

KENTEEGARDIN

Don’t amass debt. If you’re saving for retirement but only paying minimum balances on your credit cards, then you’re not really saving. Pay down credit card debt before you begin to set aside money for retirement. Delaying retirement planning may mean you have to work a little harder to build up a solid reserve. But by following some financial tips and persevering, you can still enjoy retirement with security.

Hall Private Wealth Advisors – Transparency and Fairness

ost of us never take the time to really understand our investment portfolio. When it comes to mutual funds and other investment products, we tend to familiarize with the fund provider and take their advertising as viable credibility. Most investors rely on their stockbroker or financial planner to provide advice without conflict. Think about that for a second; if your advisor is paid to transact in order to generate a commission, or if they’re paid more to recommend one product over another, what is the likelihood that they’re providing no-conflict advice? Mutual fund companies offer multiple varieties of funds, focused on different asset classes, regions and industries and when you take the time to dig down, you’ll find that there is a real lack of transparency with regard to two things: current holdings and actual fees. In addition, many mutual funds have the same stocks in their portfolio, leading to what is called overlap so if you own three or four funds from the same family, there’s a high probability that you have the same stock in all four funds. Fees range but one thing is certain: this is

Take the time to understand what you own and dig down into the fees. something that you can control. A typical fund will not disclose what is called Transaction Costs in their load structure, and high turnover causes higher transaction costs, which eat up your investment returns. Take the time to understand what you own and dig down into the fees. If you have doubts or you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, call us and we will do this for you.

OUR READERS WRITE

My appreciation to Mark Peter for his persistence and integrity in presenting “climate change and facts” (2/16/17), and to the U-T Community Press for publishing information that many refuse to acknowledge, and some are working to criminalize. Mr. Peter listed only a few of the serious concerns about the accuracy and honesty of climate change data. Other scientists have researched the relationships between CO2 and global temperature, and found that temperature change leads changes in CO2 levels, rather then the reverse; also that CO2 is a vital source of fuel for plants rather than a threat to the planet. Recently, the Wall Street Journal revealed that “the warmest year on record” was warmer by 0.01C—well within the long-standing 0.1C margin of error that alarmists are happy to ignore. Costs of reducing the claimed impact of CO2 emissions on global temperatures are astronomical in terms of human life, and the results are negligible. Using the Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, even if all carbon dioxide emissions in the United States were eliminated, there would be less than two-tenths of a degree Celsius reduction in global temperatures. There is however, a more fundamental point, mentioned in Mr. Peter’s first letter: the impact on children’s confidence in their ability to face the challenges that life presents, by teaching them that the very things all our lives depend on — freedom, reason, science and technology — are destroying the earth. Government, including public schools, consumed with the idea that central planners should dictate how each of us may live our lives, are teaching children the age-old doctrine that humans are at best helpless victims of nature, and at worst a pox on the earth. In either case, deprivation and suffering are dictated as the answer. Nature certainly is dangerous. Without the technology developed by individual men and women that makes possible our ever-increasing standards of living and ever-expanding lifespans, life certainly would be brutal, nasty and short. For people living under centralized government control, without the freedom to think and act based on their own independent judgment, life still is — even today, billions of people have no access to electricity or clean water. Technology is what protects us from the weather, and political freedom is what makes that technology possible. Children need to learn to think and to challenge with confidence, not believe and follow in fear. They need to learn to use their individual minds to identify facts and use reason to solve problems, and to become independent, courageous thinkers like the men and women behind the millions of technological

advances that have made our current enjoyment of life possible. Catherine Dickerson Solana Beach

Letter misleads readers about climate change Mark Peter spread falsehoods about the topic of human-caused climate change in his recent letter (“Climate change and the facts,” 2/17/17). Take for example his canard that the “ice cap is increasing” at the South Pole. The reality is that, while the coldest regions of Antarctica might gain snowfall from a warmer more moisture-laden atmosphere, the vulnerable, low-elevation West Antarctic Ice sheet – enough ice to yield 16 feet of global sea level rise — has likely now been destabilized by ocean warming. There is overwhelming consensus among the worlds’ scientists that climate change is real and human-caused. That is the conclusion of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the national academies of all other industrial nations, more than 30 science organizations in the U.S. that have weighed in on the matter, and 97 percent of scientists who have published on the matter. Whom does Mr. Peter rely upon for his rebuttal? Industry front groups like the Orwellian-named “Friends of Science,” risible characters like “Lord Monckton” and a science fiction writer (Michael Crichton). Mr. Peter cites “climategate”—a smear campaign wherein scientists’ emails were stolen and misrepresented by climate change deniers in an effort to manufacture a fake controversy aimed at sabotaging the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit. Nine different investigations in the U.S. and U.K. found no evidence of impropriety by the scientists. Indeed, the only wrongdoing found was the criminal theft of the emails. Mr. Peter cites yet another discredited, more recent smear campaign against NOAA scientists for good measure. Mr. Peter also maligns the well-known “hockey stick” temperature curve that my co-authors and I published in the late 1990s demonstrating recent warmth to be unprecedented for at least the past millennium. As I recount in “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars,” this graph has been attacked by climate change deniers owing to the simple, undeniable message it conveys about the dramatic impact human activity is having on Earth’s climate. Yet the highest scientific body in the U.S., the National Academy of Sciences, affirmed my research findings in an exhaustive independent review published in June 2006 (see e.g. “Science Panel Backs Study on Warming Climate”, New York Times, June 22, 2006). The most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that recent warmth is likely unprecedented over an even longer time frame.

Readers interested in the truth behind the science, rather than the falsehoods and smears perpetuated by uninformed individuals, should consult scientist-run websites like skepticalscience.com, or books on the topic like my own “Dire Predictions: Understanding Climate Change.” Let’s get past the fake debate about whether climate change is real, and onto the worthy debate over what to do about it. Michael E. Mann Distinguished Professor, Department of Meteorology, Penn State University Director, Penn State Earth System Science Center

To solve climate change, passengers must now fly the plane When it comes to climate change, most Americans are like passengers on a jetliner wanting to arrive safely at their destination but thinking there’s no need to be involved in flying the plane. The “people in charge,” surely, have things under control. Lately, however, the plane has experienced a rough ride: • Christmas Day, the temperature at Santa’s workshop – a.k.a. the North Pole – approached 32 degrees, 40 degrees above average. • 2016 set another record high for average global temperature, and 16 of the 17 hottest years on record have occurred in this century. •Floods, like those that struck Louisiana and North Carolina last year, are happening as a result of unprecedented downpours. All this turbulence is prompting passengers to rise from their seats to check with the pilot. Upon opening the cockpit door, however, they are shocked to see no one at the controls. So, how do we avoid crashing into a mountainside? It’s time for the passengers to start flying the plane. This entails setting aside cynicism about our government and engaging with our representatives in Congress. It requires us to seek common ground between Republicans and Democrats. The concern we hear most is that addressing climate change will impact the economy and jobs. We can alleviate those fears and find that common ground with a market-based solution that holds polluters accountable for damage to our air, water and climate. A steadily-rising fee on carbon, with all revenue returned to households, would reduce greenhouse gas emissions while growing the economy. A study from Regional Economic Models, Inc., considered a policy whereby a fee on the carbon dioxide content of fuels would increase $10 per ton each year. The REMI study found that emissions would drop more than 50 percent in 20 years. The economy would add 2.8 million jobs, boosted by recycling of revenue back to households. But can Democrats and Republicans in SEE LETTERS, A23

FROM LETTERS, A22 Congress work together on climate change? Hopeful signs emerged in 2016 with the creation of the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, which has equal membership from both sides of the aisle. The caucus creates a safe space for Republicans and Democrats to have an honest dialogue about ways to reduce the risks we face in a warming world. By making our voices heard, we can grow the ranks of the Climate Solutions Caucus and reach the critical mass to pass bipartisan legislation. None of this can happen, however, unless we take control and put the plane back on course. As astronaut Rusty Schweickart said, “We aren’t passengers on spaceship Earth, we’re the crew. We aren’t residents on this planet, we’re citizens. The difference in both cases is responsibility.” Mark Reynolds Mark Reynolds is executive director of Citizens’ Climate Lobby

Fifty shades of Issa Buried under the tweets from Washington, D.C., was something darker and more consequential - a Washington Post piece about the weather, “It’s about 50 degrees warmer than normal near the North Pole, yet again.” Not a half a degree, not 5 degrees, but an astonishing 50 degrees above normal! It can be hard to relate to numbers about climate change when the changes are a fraction of a degree here and there and you are buried under snow on the East Coast, but 50 degrees is the difference in winter and summer in most of the U.S. Svalbard, halfway between the Norway and the North Pole, has seen temperatures near 40 degrees. Think about that. One of the coldest places on earth is warmer than a winter night in San Diego. Snow and ice are melting fast, making the earth’s surface darker, causing more warming, and more melting. You know the predictions: sea level rise, more extreme weather, droughts and floods, and dramatic changes to habitat, but the problems go far beyond this and strike to the heart of U.S. national security. The U.S. military identified climate as a serious national security threat starting with a 1990 U.S. Navy War College assessment. Since then our military services have published 27 increasingly urgent reports. The key threats are immediate damage to our military installations, “tropical” diseases, and the creation of massive refugee populations. First, the Navy Times reports that rising ocean levels threaten to submerge 128 military bases. Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world, currently floods nine times a year and is projected to flood 280 times a year by 2050. $100 billion in assets are currently under near-term threat. Second, Military studies have identified diseases including Zika, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and malaria as deadly threats that we are already seeing on the U.S. mainland. (Disease experts from UCSD met with senior U.S. military staff this month.) Third, the Institute of Defense Analysis predicts 200 million permanent environmental refugees by 2050 – far greater than the refugee problems of today. We need decisive environmental leadership, but that isn’t what we are getting from our representative. Darrell Issa has an environmental score of 4 percent out of 100 percent for his support of dirty energy, according to The League of Conservation Voters. He has said, “The suggestion that there is a scientific consensus on climate change is itself a myth.” Well, Darrell, our military leaders as well as the scientists at UCSD’s Scripps Institute of Oceanography would be happy to disabuse you of your wishful, ill-informed opinion. I would tell him, but the San Diego Union-Tribune just reported that he refuses to do town hall meetings. Pamela J. Reynolds, Ph.D. Environmental Science Teacher

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON

Opinion: Money for nothing

y a vote of 4-1, San Dieguito Union High School District trustees in December approved offering stipends to any employee –teacher or not – who gave notice before Feb. 1 of their intent to retire by June 30, the end of the fiscal year. The rationale, according SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill, was not to provide an early retirement notice for the purpose of reducing the number of highly-paid veteran employees and replacing them with new, and less costly, workers – although the reduction in payroll costs was a secondary benefit. Rather, he said, the primary purpose was to give the district more time to recruit and hire teachers with credentials in hard-to-fill fields. The most difficult areas to recruit teachers, he said, are special education, mathematics and science. In his report to the board, Dill wrote, “The shortage of highly qualified teachers in California is well-documented.” The decision was also driven by the fact that more SDUHSD teachers this year had reached retirement age than in previous years. He said the number this year was about 40, compared to previous years when there were 10 or 12. “Right now we’ve got a huge bubble [of teachers] that are retirement age,” Dill said. “We know we’re going to get a bunch of teachers retiring this year.” He said the retirement age for teachers is typically 58 to 60. By 60 or 61, many employees seriously consider retiring. Dill said he wanted to know early, for planning purposes, the number of those leaving and what credentials they hold, so the district can begin recruiting in those subject areas. “We want to get out in advance of other districts,” he said. Shortages, he said, are higher for high school districts, which require special single-subject credentials for all course content areas. “The earlier we can determine the number of teachers who intend to retire and the credentials held by those teachers, the earlier we can begin our efforts to recruit highly qualified teachers to fill those vacancies,” Dill said. The incentive if notice was given in Jan. was 5 percent of their annual salary, and 2 percent for notices given Feb. 1 to Feb. 15. He said the stipends would cost the district roughly between $3,000 and $6,000 per employee and “would be paid for out of the substantial salary and benefit savings recognized through attrition,” Dill wrote in his report. “We’ve had little success when we’ve

just nudged them,” he said in an interview. “This is an intent to get people to commit early.” He added that it was important to know who was not leaving as well, for more accurate budget projections. “If we have another year of very few retirements, I need to know that too,” he said. “The longer we wait to replace retiring teachers, the more difficult it will be to find replacements, in addition to the teachers we need to hire to accommodate enrollment growth,” the board report reads. Dill said the stipend was not intended to encourage anyone to retire. “This is not meant to incentivize anyone to leave,” he said. “This is to incentivize anyone who already is thinking of leaving to let us know so we can start planning.” If the district receives retirement notices later in the year, the district has to scramble, he said, to find qualified replacements, noting that the district wants to avoid repeating last fall’s school openings when substitutes were hired for classes that had no qualified teachers. Not just teachers It’s not just certificated teachers who were offered the stipend. It was offered to all certificated non-teachers as well as classified employees. “Staff recommends that this stipend apply to classified employees as well,” Dill wrote in his board report. When asked why classified, Dill said the same benefits have always been offered to classified employees when benefits are offered to certificated. Vacancies in classified personnel – secretaries, bus drivers, instructional aides and others – are “an efficiency problem,” he said, noting that it can take up to three months to recruit for a vacancy. Trustee John Salazar, who voted against the offer, wrote in a letter to Dill before the Dec. 8 board meeting, “I think it is a complete waste of taxpayers’ money to pay someone to let you know if they plan on retiring.” Trustee Mo Muir questioned why it seemed the district was encouraging qualified teachers to leave. “I don’t want to lose any good teachers,” she said. Muir disagreed with the offer but voted for it because, she told me, the district needs the money to help lower the deficit, which is estimated to be $9.7 million this year. Trying to strike a balance, Torrey Pines High School student board representative Isaac Gelman asked if the incentive offer could apply only to those teachers in hard-to-fill positions. Although board members agreed it was a good question, Dill said the labor

contract did not permit offering a benefit to only select teachers. Giving notice before Feb. 1 were 18 certificated and 18 classified employees – all qualifying for the 5 percent stipend. For certificated staff, Dill estimated the stipends would cost the district about $127,000, and the net savings after hiring replacements would be about $1.3 million. For classified, he estimated the stipends would cost the district about $51,200, and the net savings after hiring replacements would be about $283,700. The total cost for the stipends for all those who gave notice is about $180,000. If the district decides not to hire replacements for some positions, the savings would be higher, Dill said. On Feb. 14, Dill said there have been no employees taking advantage of the 2 percent stipend for notices given between Feb. 1 and Feb. 15. He did say that a few people will give notice before the end of the fiscal year, but they will receive no stipend. “The net savings will be larger, but the positions will be more challenging to fill before school starts,” he said. Who’s leaving A revised list of resignations was handed out at the Feb. 2 school board meeting, updating the list posted in the agenda before the meeting. The revised list is still not available on-line, even after I asked multiple times. Because the agenda on the district’s website has not been updated as of press time, the public can only review the full list by contacting the superintendent’s office directly. Eighteen certificated employee resignations were accepted: 14 teachers and four non-teachers. Ten of those 14 teacher resignations are for teachers of art, English, physical education and other subjects not considered difficult to fill. One of those 10 is Bob Croft, who is listed as teaching P.E. and English at Earl Warren Middle School. But according to the district, he has not taught in the classroom since 2010. Croft is paid a full salary – $125,797 – and serves as president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association, the district’s teachers union. The district pays a substitute to teach his classes. Besides continuing to receive his full salary through the end of the fiscal year, Croft will receive over $6,000 as a stipend for announcing his resignation in January. Of the hard-to-fill positions, four of the 14 were teachers of science and math, and none were special education. The four science/math teachers are: Susan Atkinson, math teacher at La Costa Canyon High School; Isla Cordelae, science teacher at Torrey Pines; David Fleischman, physics teacher at Torrey Pines; and Celia Walsh, science teacher at Oak Crest Middle School.

FROM RENTALS, A1 how to proceed. “They didn’t do what the council asked them to do,” said Mayor Terry Sinnott. “It’s an extremely difficult and sticky issue,” said Councilman Dave Druker. “It would have been nice to have an interpretation, but I can understand the difficulty they had. They did the best they could.” The council was to be briefed on the legalities of the issue by the city attorney in a closed session at its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Council members said they were not sure when short-term rentals would be back on the agenda for a public discussion, but they hoped it would be soon. Druker said the council just wants to make sure it proceeds in a legal manner – hence the closed session discussion – but that the decision of how to deal with short-term rentals will be made in public. Just as in the community, opinion is divided among council members on whether short-term rentals –defined as renting a property for less than 30 days – are allowed in residential neighborhoods. Although the practice is not specifically permitted or prohibited by city regulations, council members Sherryl Parks and Dwight Worden have argued

in the past that the practice should not be allowed. During his election campaign last year, Druker also came out against short-term rentals in residential areas, while Sinnott has said that he believes the problems created by short-term rentals can be addressed with stronger regulations. Last week, Druker declined to say if he is in favor of a ban on short-term rentals. “As a person on the council that will have to decide this, I have to have an open viewpoint and be able to listen to all sides of the issue,” Druker said. Sinnott, who voted against sending the issue back to the Planning Commission, said the problems caused by short-term rentals fall into two categories – behavior by renters, and the frequency of turnover at the rental properties. “Those kinds of issues change the fabric of the residential community. Those to me are solvable problems,” Sinnott said. The council must first decide whether Del Mar’s community plan allows short-term rental businesses, said Druker. Once that decision is made, the panel can then figure out how to proceed. For now, the city has placed a moratorium on new short-term rentals, while allowing those who have an established rental business to continue hosting visitors.

FROM STUDY, A1 supervisors are against the concept of cleaner energy and competitive energy rates. “There are many jurisdictions in the feasibility process stage. There are fewer jurisdictions that actually have implemented and have a CCA operational, so in my view the CCA is still in its infancy compared to where it will be over the next few years,” Gaspar said. “What’s the rush? Let’s get it right and not rushed.” Gaspar said there are times when being a trailblazer is of clear value but there could also be value in waiting. By waiting, she said the county will be able to learn from the studies performed by neighbors and capitalize on advancements made in the fast-moving renewable energy market. “Patience allows us to evaluate the outcomes of jurisdictions who’ve moved forward with CCAs,” Gaspar said. “I want to confidently look at our residents and say we’re providing them with cleaner power and lower rates.” Chair Dianne Jacob made a motion to approve the CCA feasibility study but it was not seconded. “I feel pretty strongly that doing a feasibility study is the next step in at least seeing if this works or not. I don’t know what the fear is,” Jacob said. “If it’s the $200,000 I think there’s a way to address that issue.” During public comment, many residents advocated for the feasibility study, saying community choice is the most-cost effective way to accelerate energy independence and

FROM OBAMACARE, A2 Among the roughly 350 people inside the rec center was 27-year-old paramedic Kyle Thayer from Carlsbad. “I know what it’s like for people without access to healthcare,” he said. “They end up in the back of my ambulance, on the way to the ER (emergency room).” Outside the building, perhaps 500 to 1,000 others crowded together, chanting and waving signs in support of the Affordable Care Act. “It wasn’t important to hear speeches,” 56-year-old Vista resident Tom Averell said, leaning on his cane outside the rec center. “It’s important to be a part of a crowd that is positive.” Vista resident Samantha Bell, 23, came alone, smiling as she walked through the crowd, impressed by the turnout. “Congress is not representing us, so we’ve got to speak louder,” Bell said. Earlier Tuesday, Issa’s office released a draft of the bill

FROM GARDEN, A4 add any creative touches with the extra money. The students in each sixth grade class worked in groups of two to three to design garden ideas and then each class voted on the top designs. The teachers picked Jenny Hu and Sara Sigal as the winners, however, they worked to collaborate with fellow students to include other ideas. A leadership team of “Garden Greats” included Shai Davis, Kate Endres, Claudia Arriaga, Maura Rissman, Elissa Beruti-Bosze, Ameya Barve, Isaac Schrage, Mailee Phan and Kylie Cava. In their planning, the students determined that they needed 80 bags of organic soil to fill the 12 garden beds, even finding a better

is good for the economy as well as the environment, creating more local jobs. “We are beyond disappointed that the county chose to keep its families in the dark, away from energy freedom and choice, and dependent on a monopoly to provide its power — the opposite of the American way,” said Climate Action Campaign Executive Director Nicole Capretz, who was one of 20 public speakers at the meeting. “We will not give up our quest for energy freedom and clean air.” Van Collinsworth, director of Preserve Wild Santee, said the county has delayed far too long on CCAs and should instead aim to be a leader in this effort. He said there is no question that greenhouse gas emissions are increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, which can be costly for lives, property and infrastructure. “We have no choice other than to respond with the most aggressive greenhouse gas reductions feasible while there is still opportunity to mitigate damage being done daily to climatic systems,” Collinsworth said. “The most effective tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a community choice program.” Public comment also included a few skeptics who had concerns about the viability of CCAs and the county’s financial risk. Frank Urtasun, representing Sempra Services Corporation, said the county should consider and study all alternatives, not just community choice, to find which gives the county the greatest return on investment. “CCAs are actually discouraging

the congressman is proposing as a replacement to the Affordable Care Act. Highlights of his proposal include some of the ACA’s most popular elements, including guaranteed coverage for preexisting conditions and coverage for dependents under 26 years old. In the Nov. 8 election, the nine-term congressman only narrowly defeated challenger Doug Applegate, winning re-election by just .6 points — roughly 1,600 votes. The National Republican Congressional Committee has already promised extra help in the 2018 campaign to help him retain his seat. Applegate, who has announced his intention to run again, attended the town hall.

deal on the bags of soil that Williams had recommended. In their design, they were able to include a fountain, eight key tiles representing the eight keys of excellence taught in the school, eight quote signs, a welcome stone, archways, five animal statues, two bird feeders and four rain boots signed by the sixth graders. The Garden Greats stayed under budget, using $1,956.78 of the $2,000. “I think we could use some of you in our budget department,” DMUSD President Doug Rafner joked. The next steps will be organizing a community work day to clear out of the old garden and build the new design. The work day has yet to be scheduled.

investments in renewable projects,” Urtasun said. “This is because utilities enter into long-term contracts that result in new construction of renewable projects while CCA providers typically enter into shorter term contracts with the existing resource.” While they did not approve moving forward with the CCA study, the supervisors did approve several next steps in its Comprehensive Renewable Energy Plan. The county’s Comprehensive Renewable Energy Plan (CREP) and Climate Action Plan are separate but related projects. The CREP provides review of renewable energy opportunities in the unincorporated county while the Climate Action Plan addresses the county’s approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors, including energy. The Climate Action Plan was adopted in 2012 and was challenged in court—litigation concluded in 2015 and development of the new plan begun. The board is expected to consider the new Climate Action Plan in winter 2018. The comprehensive renewable energy plan has been in development since 2013. The Planning Commission reviewed recommendations from county consultants in October 2016 and supported 11 of their 17 options. Eight of the 11 consultant recommendations supported by the Planning Commission required no additional costs and the board of supervisors approved seven of those — including forming a sustainability task force; tracking community solar and initiatives; increasing

Brown said while her name might be on the award, she couldn’t have done the work she has done in the district without the support of the board, McClurg, Assistant Superintendent Shelley Petersen and all of the teachers who take her strategies and put them into action in the classroom. “I’ve never been in a district where everyone is so focused,” Brown said. “I just thank the district for the opportunity to work here, I fell like it’s truly a blessing to be in this district.” Brown will be recognized at an ACSA awards ceremony in the spring.

renewable energy generation, transmission, use and storage; developing strategies that address barriers to alternative fuel deployment; promoting vetted renewable energy finance mechanisms; and developing and implementing public outreach strategies. These steps will go along with sustainability efforts the county has already implemented: The Alpine and Imperial Beach libraries are zero net energy facilities, they have installed 37 electric vehicle charging stations at 10 county sites and the county participates in direct access purchasing of energy, of which 25 percent is renewable energy. The county also has designed a green building incentive program and amended the building code to promote renewable energy and expedite permit processing. Instead of the feasibility study, District 1 Supervisor Greg Cox said he would rather focus on getting the county’s Climate Action Plan completed in a more expeditious manner than winter 2018. “Frankly that’s not acceptable,” Cox said. “We’ve got a need to have a Climate Action Plan done in a much shorter time frame instead of pursuing feasibility studies… To me that’s the higher priority right now and I’m more than willing to sit back and allow the city of San Diego and Solana Beach and Del Mar and perhaps others to finish their studies and have the benefit of evaluating those studies before we bring up the question of are we going to pursue a CCA for the unincorporated area or the entire county.”

FROM PARKING, A1

observe that a car has left a space with time remaining on the meter. The staff report estimated that the revenue from the new parking spaces and other fee changes will total more than $100,000 per year. Under the agreement with the Coastal Commission, the money will be designated to pay for existing services and maintenance at the beach, along with new coastal projects. The permit will last for five years, and the city will then have to reapply. In addition, the city will have to monitor its parking program, to demonstrate to the Coastal Commission that there were no impacts on visitor access to the beach, said the staff report. A Coastal Commission staff report included with the city’s agenda materials contained a chart comparing parking fees charged at a number of beaches in the region. Fletcher Cove, La Jolla Shores and Newport Beach had no parking fees, while San Clemente State Beach charges $2 per hour and a maximum of $15 per day during peak season. Corona Del Mar State Beach charges up to $4 per hour and $15 a day during peak season. According to its website, parking fees at Torrey Pines State Beach, just south of Del Mar, range from $3 per day on Monday through Thursday in the winter, to $6 for one hour on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, with a maximum daily fee of $15.

members, is to resolve potential parking signage and permit violations by the city. According to a city staff report, Coastal Commission officials felt that Del Mar had expired permits and sign violations, and the new parking plan will resolve those issues. “I think it’s important to be in strict compliance with the Coastal Act,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. Councilman Dave Druker also was concerned about allowing overnight parking near North Beach. “We have to monitor this closely and get back to the Coastal Commission immediately if we have problems,” he said. Other areas of the city will continue to have parking prohibited between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., according to the staff report. Overnight parking will be allowed on Coast Boulevard from 15th to 17th streets, as well as North Beach. Druker also questioned the $15 a day limit on parking fees. “It’s antithetical to why we have parking meters, to have turnover,” Druker said. Responding to questions by council members, city staff said they are looking into ways to reset the parking meters if someone leaves the space, so that a newly arrived visitor would have to pay parking fees. One official told the council that parking officers could reset the meters if they

FROM TRANSMISSION LINE, A3 for this project, coming to Torrey Hills from the east through Carmel Valley. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board sent a letter of opposition to the CPUC due to the negative impacts the new power lines would have on homes in Carmel Valley and in the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. The northern route included removing the wood frame structures in the canyon and replacing them with 17 new, 79-foot-tall tubular steel poles. In a somewhat surprising move in October 2016, the CPUC approved the more costly but environmentally superior southern route, coming to Torrey Hills from the south from an underground portion from Miramar, avoiding Carmel Valley’s Neighborhood 10. In an email, Torrey Hills resident Rick Ferlito expressed concerns that he and his Torrey Hills neighbors were not notified about the change in the plans and did not receive information about the alternate southern route prior to the October decision. Jeff Powers, a representative for SDG&E, said that residents and the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board received at least a half dozen notices in the mail, beginning in August 2014. He said SDG&E also held several workshops — including the most recent one on Feb. 15 in Miramar. “SDG&E is committed to working with all affected communities before and during construction. We have and will continue to coordinate with local residents, businesses, schools, planning and civic groups and other stakeholders to reduce the impacts as much as possible,” Powers said. “As it relates specifically to our outreach with area residents, it’s important to remember that SDG&E has a representative that sits on the Torrey Hills

Moylan Feild “Tony” Garth August 16, 1951 – July 1, 2015

LA JOLLA – Lifelong La Jolla resident, Moylan Feild Garth (known as “Tony”), passed away unexpectedly from illness May 23, 2015, at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, CA. Growing up in La Jolla Shores he spent his youth attending The Gillespie School, Scripps Elementary (now The Children’s School), San Miguel’s (now Bishop’s), and graduating from La Jolla High School class of ’66. He went on and graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara and became a successful stock broker for Dean Witter before deciding to fulfill a passion for the Law. He went to the Thomas Jefferson School of Law where he was Editor in Chief of the Law Review and graduated Magna Cum Laude and became a member of the bar in 1990. After working in the public defender’s office and for several top firms he started his own practice becoming a top criminal defense attorney. He believed in the law and everything it stood for. He represented clients from all walks of life and all circumstances and stood tall believing that everyone deserved a proper defense. Jerry Streichler, retired Dean of the College of Technology

at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), Bowling Green, Ohio, passed away peacefully on July 2, 2015, in his home in La Jolla. Born on December 8,1929, on the Lower East Side of New York, he grew up during the Depression, then moved to New Jersey during his teen years, moving later to Ohio and then retiring in California. From these humble beginnings, he became one of the leading university educators of his generation. His early career as a mechanical designer in Montclair, New Jersey, was interrupted when his Air National Guard unit was called up for duty during the Korean War. He served at Turner Air Force Base in Georgia, Godman Air Force Base at Fort Knox in Kentucky, and the Air-

Judith Miller George, 80, died peacefully on May 25, 2015, at home in La Jolla, CA, surrounded by her family and supported by her many friends. Judith was born on February 1, 1935, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Arthur A. and Eleanor (Fletcher) Miller. She grew up primarily in Chicago, Illinois, and was graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Chicago in 1952. After high school, Judith attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science in 1956. She was interested in art history and architecture and was a member of the Tri Delta Sorority.

Community Planning Board so anytime there is an issue that needs to be addressed, we are quick to address any concerns.” Ferlito also voiced concerns about the aesthetics and safety of the new lines in Torrey Hills. “The present high voltage lines in Torrey Hills are unsightly and extremely noisy during nights of high humidity. They also may present a problem in a large earthquake,” Ferlito said. “Adding additional lines to the existing towers will compound the problems.” Powers said there are no new towers in the area as a part of the project and Rich Quasarano, the SDG&E representative on the Torrey Hills planning board, said that the project will simply add wires, known as a “bundled conductor,” to the existing lattice structure in Torrey Hills. “I don’t think visually you’ll even notice,” he said. Ferlito had made a request that SDG&E consider undergrounding the Torrey Hills portion just as the Miramar portion will be — he didn’t believe it made sense that the business district area would be undergrounded but residential areas would not be. Powers said that as part of the CPUC review it was determined that additional undergrounding of the line in this area would result in “significant impacts to the environment.” The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board was additionally asked to consider supporting Ferlito’s request to underground the Torrey Hills portion. As Ferlito was not present at the Feb. 21 planning board meeting, Chair Kathryn Burton pulled the item from the agenda — board members said that undergrounding was unlikely at this state of the project due to the cost and impact. “The alternative route is going to impact fewer people in a negative way,” Burton said.

FROM COAST, A3 improving bike lanes along Highway 101 will ultimately improve the quality of life for all. “It’s all a really positive direction,” said Andy Hanshaw of the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition. “We think it makes sense for safety, and certainly for climate impacts, reducing greenhouse gases.” But Del Mar is another town where the idea has run into trouble. City planners have proposed reducing northbound Camino del Mar — the name for Coast Highway in that city — from two lanes to one between Carmel Valley Road and Fourth Street. That prompted a letter-writing campaign from residents early this year. A few supported the plan, but most said the narrower road would worsen congestion and force more traffic onto the parallel residential street of Stratford Court. “With more vehicle traffic, it would become less safe for pedestrians,” wrote Del Mar resident Terence Morgan, adding that the slower traffic would increase air pollution from idling cars. At a Feb. 6 meeting, the Del Mar City Council agreed to study the idea further before taking any action. In Solana Beach, many residents have embraced the reshaped road and agree that it’s more welcoming to cyclists, pedestrians and shoppers. “People who come to Solana Beach, they are really impressed with what the community has done,” said Douglas Alden. He said he rides his bicycle from his home in Solana Beach three or four days a week to work as a development engineer at Scripps

Institution in La Jolla. Just like in Del Mar and Oceanside, some residents initially resisted the changes, Alden said. He remembers some honking horns and angry shouts. “(But) everyone is used to it now,” he said. “People are resistant to change. That’s just typical.” The city also has benefited economically from the project, according to Kathleen Ferrier of Circulate San Diego, a nonprofit that promotes “complete streets” designed to be accessible for all travel modes — driving, bicycling, walking and public transit. Retail sales increased an average of 10 percent in Solana Beach after it made its improvements, said Ferrier, who also spoke at the Carlsbad forum. “More narrow travel lanes really make it safer,” she said, because vehicles go slower and there’s room for wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Traffic experts say slower speeds on local roads add little time to a commute — at most two or three minutes — while they greatly increase safety for everyone. Faulstich, who’s been making his bicycle commute from Encinitas to La Jolla for about 10 years, said he hopes more cities will get on the bandwagon in redesigning their roadways. “What I would like to see is a little more consistency,” Faulstich said. “You have this mixture of good infrastructure that is bike friendly, then you have these sections that are a free-for-all.” — Phil Diehl is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, ﬁreplace or stove.”

Doctor-led talk on how eating disorders can develop in ‘tweens’ February 28 A free doctor-led talk presented by Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Centers will be held Tuesday, Feb. 28, from 6-7:30 p.m. at Earl Warren Middle School on “Not Too Young: How Eating Disorders Can Develop in Tweens.” If you think your child is too young to be at risk of an eating disorder, think again. Eating disorders are increasingly diagnosed in children as young as 5 to 12 years of age. And it’s not just girls who are at risk - the rates of eating disorders in boys are also rising. As parents, you may have questions about how your child perceives cultural

messages of anti-obesity, diet and exercise. Attend this free event and hear Dr. Rachel Klein from Sharp Rees-Stealy Del Mar discuss how social pressures can contribute to issues of body image in children, red flags that might indicate an eating disorder, and tips on preventing eating disorders in your child. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get health information at various booths. Earl Warren Middle School is located at 155 Stevens Ave., Solana Beach, 92075. For more information or to register, call 1-800-82-SHARP or visit sharp.com/schooledonwellness.

FROM SUTTON, A23

retire? Furthermore, if the intent is to get a head start on the hiring of science, math and special education teachers, only four gave notice. The rest are positions that are less hard to fill. And one more point. Torrie Norton, the district’s associate supt. of human resources, is taking advantage of the policy she and Dill formulated together, by herself announcing her resignation. Norton is paid $195,466 annually, as of July 1, 2016. That, by the way, is up from $162,265 in June 2015. She and the three other associate superintendents are paid exactly the same – which means that a replacement for Norton will be offered her same salary. Not much savings there. Norton’s stipend will be close to $10,000. Salazar was nearly apoplectic over what he called a “money giveaway,” suggesting that most of these people would have retired anyway, without a bonus. He is doubtful that it will be difficult to fill the vacant teaching positions, considering that the teachers’ contract includes the outrageous statement that San Dieguito teachers must be the highest paid in the county. Lest we be distracted by the claim to justify the stipends that the district will realize tremendous savings when these veteran employees are replaced by less costly workers, keep in mind that those savings would have been realized anyway, without the stipends. But it’s done. And the news, after offering money to know how many science, math and special education teachers will be leaving, is merely four. To learn this, it will cost the district about $180,000 in stipends. Just wondering how many musical instruments and how much science equipment $180,000 could buy. Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Caston, Carol Limbach •La Costa Canyon: Deborah Elliott, Joseph McCormick, Jamie Ritchie, Daniel Salas • Torrey Pines: Daniel Aposhian •Carmel Valley Middle School: Kim Bullock, Sally Hackworth The four certificated non-teacher employees are: •Adrienne St. George Cavanaugh, district library media coordinator •Jeanne Jones, assistant principal at San Dieguito Academy •Elizabeth Levario, counselor at La Costa Canyon •Torrie Norton, associate superintendent of human resources The 18 resignations from classified employees include bus drivers, secretaries, instructional aides, grounds workers, administrative assistants, nutrition services workers, the director of student information services (Patricia Gaul) and the chief facilities officer (Russell Thornton). What’s the problem? What’s wrong with this plan is that, despite Dill’s assertion that the stipend is not an incentive to retire, that’s exactly what it amounts to. There are ways to attract highly qualified teachers to the district besides giving away district money. Signing bonuses for hard-to-fill positions are commonly used, for example. And offering stipends to classified employees because the district has always offered to one group the same for all groups makes no sense. “It’s the way we’ve always done it” is the common district excuse for so many costly traditions that can no longer be justified. If one accepts what Dill wrote in his board report, that it is “a highly competitive market for certificated staff,” then what is the point of incentivizing secretaries and bus drivers to

Writing club to give Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award to Viet Mai

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Canyon Crest Academy’s Creative Writing Club recently announced that educator, artist and consultant Viet Mai will be honored with the Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award at the 6th Annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference on Saturday, March 11. The Creative Writing Club created the Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award in 2016 to honor Viet Mai Maberry for all he does to inspire writers. The award is given annually to a writing professional who is dedicated to inspiring San Diego teens to pursue their artistic endeavors with heart, enthusiasm and integrity; give back to their community and actively improve their art. Viet Mai has spoken at many of the CCA Writers’ Conferences, introducing high school students to the art of spoken word poetry, and inspiring them to use their voice. As Julia Camilleri, president of the CCA Creative Writing Club and coordinator of the conference, notes, “For four years, I have watched Viet Mai bare his soul and inspire hundreds of young writers at our CCA Writers’ Conference as well as at-risk teens at our mini-writers conference at a

local community school. I am excited to be able to honor him with the Jonathan Maberry Inspiring Teens Award!” “I’m honored to receive this award,” says Viet. “I have a degree in mathematics-computer science and I grew up thinking I was going to be a doctor. It just goes to show that our lives are a continuous mix of poetry and storytelling. Thank you, Julia, and the students of the CCA Creative Writing Club.” Viet Mai works to enhance the lives of others through community engagement and youth empowerment. As a member of the 2013 ELEVATED! Slam Team, he represented San Diego to rank 4th place at the National Poetry Slam in Boston, Mass. Viet currently serves as a program facilitator with the Village of Promise Collective Mentoring Program, and as an independent consultant, specializing in education and data analysis. Furthermore, he devoutly continues to educate and entertain his audience as a public speaker, host and spoken word artist. The 6th Annual CCA Writers’ Conference will be held from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, at Canyon Crest Academy, Proscenium and Media Center, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130. The event is for high school students only and is free.

North Coast Rep inks agreement with Encinitas on potential new space BY JAMES HEBERT And here we go again. North Coast Repertory Theatre announced Thursday morning, Feb. 16, that it has signed an exclusive negotiating agreement aimed at developing a new performing-arts facility in Encinitas. NCRT now becomes at least the fifth theater company to propose building a new home on the long-vacant Encinitas Ranch Town Center site, which was earmarked for a potential performing-arts operation when the shopping center along El Camino Real David was developed in 1994. Ellenstein But NCRT, which has occupied its current 194-seat Solana Beach space since 1982, may well have a major advantage because it’s a long-established company with solid financials and a large subscriber base. The theater had revenues of $2.4 million and an operating surplus of $258,000 for the fiscal year ending in 2015 (the most recent for which figures are available). Its budget has more than doubled since artistic director David Ellenstein came aboard in late 2002. The news comes not quite two years after

Intrepid Theatre entered into its own agreement with the city to move ahead on a new-theater proposal for Encinitas site. Intrepid eventually bowed out after it became clear the company (now in residence at the Horton Grand Theatre in downtown San Diego) would not be able to raise enough money for the project. NCRT has been the subject of more than one prospective move in the past, including a project that almost came to fruition near the Solana Beach train station, and the more recent possibility of moving into the One Paseo development in Carmel Valley. (The company also was previously interested in the Encinitas site about a decade ago.) The Feb. 16 announcement said the agreement “involves negotiation of a long-term property lease in the Encinitas Ranch Town Center. In parallel, North Coast Rep will proceed with assessing the feasibility of design and construction of the new facility.” It added that NCRT envisions a facility “to better match the high artistic quality of its productions, and to better meet the future needs of the broader San Diego community. “The agreement with the City of Encinitas represents the next step in this endeavor.” – James Hebert is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Encinitas acupuncturist uses Chinese, Western methods

in Fu does not just perform acupuncture. The Encinitas-based acupuncturist said he likes to educate his patients about the Western and Chinese methods he practices. The acupuncturist — whose first name is pronounced like “Chin” — has been performing acupuncture for 30 years in China, San Marcos and San Clemente. He opened a practice in Encinitas, at 4401 Manchester Ave. #202, two years ago. He said acupuncture — which stimulates certain points of the body by penetrating the body with needles — is a tradition in his family, and he’s a third-generation acupuncturist. “My family is traditional,” he said with a Chinese accent, noting he’s the only one in his family who studied both Western and Chinese practices. “When I was a kid, most of the children grew up with toys and a lot of fun, but I grew up with the family. You could play a lot with the herbs. I really became

experienced with them and my family’s background.” Fu said acupuncture can help alleviate anxiety, stress, depression, vertigo, migraine headaches, pain, sciatica, allergies, carpal tunnel, tinnitus, skin condition, arthritis, menstrual disorders, indigestion, the common cold and more. His biggest success story, he said, was helping a woman overcome infertility. In college in China, Fu learned both Western and traditional Chinese methods. He said the difference between the two is Chinese acupuncture relies on energy signals in the body. “The theory of the Chinese medicine is they’re not the same as Western diagnoses,” he said. “For example, in Chinese medicine, we’re more concerned about energy and chi. We talk about blood and chi circulation. All problems are concerned with chi: good chi or bad chi. Western medicine only talks about infractions or pain.” Unlike traditional doctors,

acupuncturists do not prescribe medication for the pain or symptoms. Instead, they get to the root of the problem, Fu said. “From my knowledge, when you have a headache, a doctor gives you Tylenol,” he said. “Chinese doctors will figure out what causes this headache.

and combine it with my Chinese knowledge to take care of patients.” He said he has taken care of more than 25,000 individual patients in his career, including high-profile celebrities, though he declined to name names. Anyone can have acupuncture performed on them, Fu said, adding that his youngest patient was 3 and his oldest patient was in her 90s. He said he believes nowadays more people are turning to acupuncture, which has been increasingly covered by insurance agencies. “Now more and more people understand the value of Chinese medicine,” he said. “When the people come to see me, the advantage I can give them is education. I’m not just needling them. I use my knowledge in Western and Eastern medicine to give them more education.” While some may be hesitant to be poked by needles, the pain is minimal and the needle is about the diameter of a strand of hair. “Nobody likes needles — including me,” he said. “But after you try it, you feel nothing. It just feels like an ant bite.” The pain is less than the blood sugar test diabetes patients perform by pricking their fingers, he added. He said the number and placement of the needles depends on the condition.

Hullaballoo kid-folk musicians celebrate musical milestone Hullabaloo’s 3,000th show is at North Coast Rep Feb. 26

BY ROB LEDONNE t was 13 years and 13 albums ago when Steve Denyes and Brendan Kremer, friends since childhood, formed the kid-folk duo Hullaballoo. With the catchy slogan “free-range, organic kid-folk,” the two first embarked on a musical odyssey that has lasted over a decade and is still going strong. “It went by in a flash,” said Denyes, a longtime resident of Del Mar. “Mostly it feels like we just started.” 2017 is a landmark year for Hullabaloo. Not only are they releasing their 13th album dubbed Best of Hullabaloo: Volume Two, but they’re also performing their 3,000th show this month. “When you hit milestones like 3,000 shows, it kind of starts to sink in that we’ve been at this awhile,” notes Denyes. Denyes, a former public school teacher, has been an indelible part of Del Mar for his entire life. Born and raised in Del Mar, Denyes says he thanks his “lucky stars every day… I’ve been lucky enough to stay. I love it here; I get to surf every morning and enjoy the good company of friends and neighbors.” In fact, it was one friend, his

Hullaballoo’s Steve Denyes and Brendan Kremer Hullabaloo partner Kremer, who made the biggest impact on both his life and career. The two met while attending Del Mar Heights Elementary School and have stuck together ever since. (Today, Kremer lives in Encinitas.) Throughout the past 13 years, Hullabaloo has successfully navigated both a changing music industry (one that went from physical CDs to streaming in short order) and their own personal

evolution, both musically and professionally. Originally touring across the country, Denyes says now “90 percent of our shows are in San Diego County. I love that because I can sleep in my own bed, surf in the morning, and then get out and and sing in the community I know and love.” Along the way, they’ve collected a multitude of memories and accolades. Denyes says a gig at the famed Austin City Limits Music

NANCY KRUEGER

Festival was a definite highlight. “It was a great crowd and great show,” he said of the performance at the high-profile festival. “Plus, having our name on the concert t-shirts and posters alongside a bunch of my musical heroes was an amazing feeling.” In addition, the duo has also formed their own festival (dubbed the Hullabaloo Family Music Festival) and has netted awards from the likes of Parents Magazine,

the NAPPA and more. Throughout their run, they’ve also committed to giving back to the community. This past November, they teamed up with Happy Star Music, which provides music to children facing long hospital stays. Between last October and December, they donated one CD for every one they sold. The new album Hullabaloo: Volume Two is an attempt to encapsulate some of their favorite songs into one compilation. “We chose the songs that have stood the test of time,” says Denyes on how he and Kremer went about choosing their most cherished tracks. “We figured, if we still enjoy playing them live, they must be the best ones.” With the new album and a variety of milestones behind them, Denyes and Kremer are now focused on the future. “The biggest challenge for us is to figure out how to adapt to the changes in technology and how kids and families make recorded music a part of their lives,” he explains. “We’ll keep writing and recording music no matter how people listen.” Hullabaloo’s 3,000th show is at Solana Beach’s North Coast Repertory Theatre on Feb. 26 from 10:30 a.m.-noon.

Local film ‘Espionage’ includes UCSD and CCA cinema talent BY GLORIA GOLDSTEIN University of California San Diego film student Shayne Cole and fellow filmmaker Nathan Cooper founded “Flatspace Studios” production company and enlisted the talents of local cinema student Melanie Limas An from Canyon Crest Academy’s film conservatory in their latest production. The film titled “Espionage” is an action-packed comedy about two roommates who must compete against each other for a job with a secret agency. The project took nine months to complete. The two full-time students and filmmakers dedicated over 100 hours of filming on the project, which includes elaborate fight scenes, an original musical score and the talents of sound designer Mark Barahura. ‘Flatspace Studios’ was formed in 2015 by the two young innovators with the goal of challenging their filmmaking abilities leading to the production of high-quality content for viewers. “Take 3” was their first film. “Espionage” first premiered in January at UCSD’s Price Theater and will be shown next at

Local girl shows off culinary skills on MasterChef Junior BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY race Howard skips into her family’s Cardiff kitchen, smiling at her possessions: a knife set, ingredients for sophisticated dishes like sushi and pasta, a food processor, Vitamix Blender and KitchenAid Stand Mixer. “This is a pairing knife,” she says on a recent Friday afternoon while sharpening the utensil. “It’s good for cutting fruits and vegetables. ... This is my Vitamix. I use it to make smoothies and hot soups.” The tools are all very real, and Grace knows how to work every one of them with ease. That might not be surprising if she were an adult, but it wasn’t that long ago Grace was playing in a plastic toy kitchen. She’s 9. The fourth grader at The Rhoades School was selected last year into the top 40 of the reality TV show MasterChef Junior to show off her adult cooking skills to Gordon Ramsay. The celebrity chef has become commonly known for his hot temper. “If he was a stove, I would tell him to turn down the high heat just a little,” said Grace, giggling. “He’s not the sweetest muffin in the pack.” Grace’s mother, Melissa Howard, contested her daughter is actually a big fan of Ramsay. “He’s her cooking idol,” she said. “She literally ran down toward him, and I thought she was going to run up and hug him. Her thing was she was going to be best friends with Gordon Ramsay. She was ready to jump out of herself but she kept her cool.” Grace was 8 and the youngest competitor on the show when her episode filmed last March. In the episode, which aired Feb. 16, Grace and three other contestants were challenged with creating a chicken dish in under 40 minutes. For Grace — who started cooking as a toddler — her idea came easily. “I had to think about the four different parts of a chicken: breasts, legs, wings and thighs,” she said. “I wanted to go with something that would cook easily but I could get it done in time. So, definitely, I chose the breast. I wanted to show them my special adult skills.”

Q&A

NISHA BUNKE, MD, FACPh, RPhS VENOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST

Q: Can you tell us about La Jolla Vein Care? A: La Jolla Vein Care was established in 2010 and specializes in treating patients with

vein conditions. The facility is only one of a few dedicated vein treatment centers in San Diego and Southern California with board-certified physicians and nine staff members trained in the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. We have successfully treated thousands of patients without surgery. Dr. Nisha Bunke, the medical director of La Jolla Vein Care, was the first physician in the United States to complete fellowship training in Venous and Lymphatic Medicine 10 years ago. Since we are the region’s most comprehensive vein center, our registered vascular sonographers conveniently perform venous ultrasound imaging in the office.

Q: What technology and treatments are offered at the facility? A: We specialize in non-surgical vein removal and offer a variety of different treatments

Cardiff resident Grace Howard, 9, competed on a recent episode of MasterChef Junior. The girl made a stuffed chicken breast with ricotta cheese, lemon, mashed potatoes and spinach-garlic salad. The dish was judged by Ramsay’s counterpart on the show, Christina Tosi. “It was heart-racing when she was walking over,” Grace said. “I was definitely really scared.” Tosi ended up eliminating Grace, saying her chicken was a bit undercooked, but praised the girl for her creamy mashed potatoes. Grace said she was initially sad but not completely defeated. “I’m a winner for just being selected to compete,” she said, adding she plans to audition for the show again. She hopes to open her own bakery someday, with an emphasis toward donating to charity. Melissa Howard said her daughter has a giving heart. “She’s always wanted to make something for somebody,” she said. “She makes things for the neighbors. She made sushi and delivered it around the neighborhood. She’s got a really good heart and some really good ideas about her bakery to give back.”

with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. “The dungeon master, that eight-sided-dice-wielding arbiter in any Dungeons & Dragons game, serves as a potent metaphor in ‘She Kills Monsters,’ Qui Nguyen’s deceptively breezy and rather ingenious comedy.” -- New York Times (2011 Premiere).

such as Radiofrequency Ablation, Clarivein, Phlebectomy, Sclerotherapy and Foam Sclerotherapy. All venous imaging and procedures are done in the office, so it’s very convenient for our patients. The newest treatment we are offering is called CryoSclerotherapy.

Q: What is Cryo-Sclerotherapy? A: We are the only vein center in San Diego to offer Cryo-Sclerotherapy. The treatment is sclerotherapy (either liquid or foam) in combination with a Cryo device. What this does is cool the surface of the skin before, during, and after injections. It is intended to minimize pain during injections by providing temporary anesthetic relief.

Q: What types of vein disorders do you treat? A: There is a wide spectrum of vein disorders, ranging from simple spider veins to

venous leg ulcers. Both women and men can develop vein conditions at any age, and even the healthiest people can be affected. For some, they are a cosmetic issue while for others, they may represent a serious medical condition. At La Jolla Vein Care, we feel that regardless of the patient’s concern, vein conditions deserve specialized care.

Q: For those individuals considering treatment, what information can you share? A: Over the past decade, there have been advances in the treatment of vein conditions,

which have improved the safety, efficacy, comfort and success of therapy. Newer procedures have replaced old-fashioned vein stripping surgery. We perform minimally invasive vein treatments in the office without anesthesia, and our patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. The average procedure time is about 60 minutes. There are several different treatment options depending on the type of veins, the extent of the disease, your ultrasound findings and other factors. We encourage perspective patients to come in for a consultation and have our practitioners determine what treatment is best. Health insurance will often cover medically necessary vein treatments as well as specialist consultations and diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Our staff prides itself on taking great care of our patients. We have been voted Best of La Jolla three years in a row!

Wild Wild West at the Beth Am Saloon

ee-haw! This year Congregation Beth Am hosted an epic Western-theme event to celebrate its annual gala. Outlaws, mavericks, cowboys and cowgirls gathered at the rodeo sporting their Wild West best: Stetsons, leather boots, denim, and bolo ties. Guests danced and dosey-doed to the heartfelt stylings of the Big Mountain Bluegrass Band and took their turn at the mechanical bull. They gambled for a cause and tried their luck at the raffle

with generous donations from the San Diego Opera, and the loyal event and table sponsors and donors without whom this event would not be possible. The beautifully-themed décor brought the space to life courtesy of the talented Sophia Segal of creativehomestyles.com. Special recognition goes to the “Grand Marshall” event sponsors Dempsey Construction and Gilliland Construction Management for supporting the fundraising efforts.

The Wild Wild West fundraiser committee was led by Veronica Leff, and included Brian Davis, Juli Bear, Marci Laulom, Kimberly Reckles, Stacey Rael, Dorith Weinbaum and Director of Activities & Communications Susan Mualim.

Guitar orchestra forming Guitarists of all skill levels are invited to participate in the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra’s upcoming session. The Encinitas Guitar Orchestra spring session’s theme is Music of Italy, and includes classical and contemporary selections including Ravel’s Bolero, Love Theme From The Godfather, Volare’ arranged in a flamenco style, Vivaldi’s Op. 3 No. 2, Boccherini’s Introduction et Fandango, Ennio Moriconne’s Cinema Paradiso and others. All of the pieces have been adapted for four or more parts for a 40-piece guitar orchestra. The session begins March 13 and goes through the end of May, with a concert on June 2. Rehearsals are Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. at Ranch View Baptist Church, 415 Rancho Santa Fe Rd., in Encinitas. The orchestra is comprised of 30 - 40 local guitarists from beginning through advanced levels who learn classical guitar technique and

ensemble skills under the supervision of noted local guitar performers and teachers Peter Pupping and William Wilson. The orchestra is divided into four- to-eight sections with multiple players on each part. Pupping has been teaching and performing in Southern California for more than 30 years. Pupping has released many CDs with his band, the Peter Pupping Band, and solo albums. The latest, titled Saturday Morning, is comprised almost entirely of songs composed and/or arranged by Pupping. Pupping earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from San Diego State University. He organizes and directs the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra’s two, three-month sessions each year. For more information, the guitar orchestra’s registration tab, or contact Peter Pupping at Guitar Sounds, (760) 943-0755 or peter@guitarsounds.com

Concert series features Veronica May Guitars in the Classroom (GITC), a local nonprofit dedicated to bringing musical training and instruments to public schools will feature San Diego’s own superbly talented Veronica May in an intimate concert in Solana Beach on March 4 at 7 p.m. The benefit is open to all ages and includes a silent auction and light refreshments. Reservations are recommended and donations (suggested at $10 youth, $20 adults) can be given at the door. May is an extraordinarily unique talent, equally skilled and adventurous on guitars (acoustic and electric) as she is in her dynamic vocal style. Her original songs reflect themes of compassion, imagination and living exuberantly with courage and humor. Living mindfully with Bipolar 1 Disorder and

serving as a music therapist have given May valuable understandings she shares in service for all who navigate that difficult terrain and their loved ones. Her music awakens the mind, stirs the heart and open our eyes to the wild world of thought and perception. The GITC Artist Concert Series consists of intimate benefit concerts held at private homes, featuring artists who share the organization’s passion for giving students access and opportunities for musical learning as part of a well-rounded education. All proceeds go to support programs in local schools. Community members are invited to attend. Community members can RSVP and receive the event address by emailing SDEvents@guitarsintheclassroom.org.

Brain Fitness programs Economic begin March 7 in Del Mar roundtable to feature Kenneth Rogoff

Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC) is once again offering its two popular Brain Fitness programs starting March 7 at the Del Mar Community Building, 225 9th St, Del Mar. For those interested in participating for the first time, an orientation meeting will be held on the “Basic Brain Fitness” program on Thursday March 1 at 2 p.m. Attendance at the orientation meeting will help ensure participation in the programs.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Tips for Your Sclerotherapy Treatment for Varicose Veins If you have varicose veins, you already may have been scheduled for sclerotherapy treatment to remove your varicose veins. But maybe you still have some questions about the sclerotherapy procedure and you want tips on maximizing the healing process. A quick refresher: The sclerotherapy procedure happens right in the doctor’s ofﬁce. Depending on the severity of the varicose vein—or veins—the procedure can take only thirty minutes or it can even be

done in as little as ﬁve minutes’ time. Sclerotherapy is an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. After the injection, pressure is applied over the veins in order to prevent the blood from returning once you stand up. Repeated sessions are sometimes necessary, depending on the extent of the varicose veins. Once the procedure is over, there are some common tips for post-treatment recovery. All doctors and therapists will recommend that patients wear compression stockings after sclerotherapy treatment. Some will recommend that patients wear them for several days, while others will extend the recovery time with compression stockings to several weeks. Compression stockings help maintain pressure throughout the legs (and veins), promoting healthy circulation

and reducing the bruising. It is always best to follow the recommended time frame for wearing compression stockings after treatment. Bruising around the injection site or sites is common among sclerotherapy patients, and the appearance of bruises can last up to two weeks—the bruising period is almost always longer for patients who are on blood thinners. But just as every patient is different, so are the healing times. A small bruise, post-treatment, for a couple of weeks is nothing to worry about. If the bruise increases in size and deepens in color more than a few days or a week after treatment, or an abscess appears around the injection site, go immediately to the hospital, as you may have an underlying condition that causes such a rare reaction. To be extra cautious, some doctors and vein treatment centers recommend avoiding any over-the-counter medications that act as anti-coagulants or blood thinners, such as

aspirin, ibuprofen, and even omega 3s. While there is no “down time” required after sclerotherapy treatment, it is good to avoid any strenuous activity or exercise. That being said, regular low-impact exercise, especially walking, is encouraged by most doctors and vein treatment centers beginning immediately after treatment. It will be important to report to your doctor any slow or lack of healing, either at the injection site or any localized clotting. There may be some discoloration of the skin at the injection site, but this is generally nothing to worry about and can be corrected with topical creams or even laser therapy. Remember, there are plenty of fake remedies out in the world, which are a waste of money and could delay potentially crucial treatment. Varicose veins are a medical condition and could be a symptom of a much bigger vascular problem, and they are a condition best treated early on.

Lemon Law: Let’s put the squeeze on sourpusses

fter I recently treated myself to an anti-aging birthday facial, I was reminiscing of an incident years ago when my girlfriend and I indulged in a spa day of pampering, including a stress-relieving massage, invigorating facial and light, healthy lunch. Sipping on a cool glass of lemon-infused water while waiting for the facialist in a dimmed room, the heady scent of eucalyptus and background chorus of tropical Rainforest birds filling my senses, I noticed a pile of cut lemons on a plate. I reached for one, and squirted more juice into my glass. While taking a good swig of the thirst-quencher, the esthetician entered the room. She alarmingly asked what I had been doing with the cut lemon as those were used on the previous client to treat her acne break out. Yikes! It was then I learned of the many uses of the marvelous citrus, which I can now laughingly share with you. The lip-puckering juicy lemon, a native of the Himalayan foothills of the North Eastern region of India, and close relative to other acidic fruits (including the orange, grapefruit and tangerine) has global appeal, adding a salty and tangy essence to many ethnic and mainstream dishes. Every part of this sassy citrus is delightful — the juice, pulp, skin or

zest and even the leaves can be used to make minty or fruity lemonades or Arnold Palmers, sweet and savory sauces, vinaigrettes, soups like Greek lemon chicken called avgolemeno, pilafs, piccatas, risottos and pasta dishes. This sunny fruit particularly enlivens seafood treasures (crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, poached salmon, to mention a few) and steamed greens, along with scrumptious baked goods and desserts (meringue pies, tarts, ricotta pancakes, sorbets, silky curds, scones, biscottis and muffins), and let’s not forget lemon-based cocktails. It also prevents cut apples from oxidizing and turning brown, while keeping guacamole green. Beyond the kitchen, lemon has a slew of beauty, health and household uses. It makes your pearls sparkle, controls gum bleeding, freshens your breath, lightens your hair and makes it shine, soothes insect bites, removes pesky warts, and wards off free radicals keeping skin supple and glowing. There’s more. The botanical berry calms upset tummies, tempers a hangover headache, puts the skids on crystals that form into kidney stones, and pushes colds and flu under the bus by boosting the immune system with its load of Vitamin C. Also packed with essential minerals from

calcium and copper to potassium and iron, the mighty citrus ratchets up blood and bone health, and maintains fluid balance. While its store of B-complex vitamins bolsters the nervous system, its A’s amp eye health. Some helpful home tips include using lemons to neutralize kitty litter boxes, freshen fridges, remove stains from clothing and give your duds a botanical fragrance, and polish pots and pans.

But not all lemons are created equal

The popular elliptically-shaped Eureka with thick knobby yellow rind comes in two varieties —pale and pink fleshed, the latter creating a quintessential summer delight of pink lemonade. Eureka’s sour sibling, the practically seedless Lisbon variety has a thinner more refined rind, and yields more juice. While the mellow Meyer, not considered a true lemon since it’s a hybrid cross likely between a lemon and a mandarin, has supple orange-tinged skin, and a sweeter, less acidic juice. To pick a winner look for firm, bright, glossy yellow skin. It should have good heft for its size, and be free of wrinkles, blemishes and soft spots. For juicier lemons, choose thinner-skinned ones, and where possible buy organic, especially when zesting. In my travels I’ve discovered beautiful Mason jars stuffed with silken-skinned preserved lemons in a tangy brine. These pickled wonders are not only the cornerstone of fragrant Moroccan stews (tagines) of chicken, lamb, beef, and fish, but dial up everything from vinaigrettes, vegetarian dishes and fruit salads to Bloody Marys, tapenades, sauces and salsas.

COURTESY

Preserved Lemons ■ Ingredients: 6 lemons (your choice), 4 tablespoons kosher or sea salt, 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick (optional), 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 pint-size Mason jar ■ Method: Slice lemons in quarters, careful to keep intact at the stem end. Place 1 tablespoon of salt at the bottom of the jar and stuff remaining salt into cut lemons, closing the segments so the fruits are kept whole. Place lemons, peppercorns, bay leaf and cinnamon stick in Mason jar, and enough lemon juice to immerse the lemons. Tightly cover and keep in a warm spot in your kitchen for about one month until fully ripened. Refrigerate and use for up to six months.

Conservancy to hold ‘Exec Trek’ Feb. 25 Join the Executive Director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, Trish Boaz, for an easy-to-moderate hike at Del Dios Gorge on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8:30 a.m. Though the San Dieguito River’s flow is minimal most of the year due to the Lake Hodges dam, constructed in 1918, the narrow canyon’s riparian vegetation is complemented by coast live oak. The natural landscape here is made even more dramatic by the granite outcroppings covering the canyon floor. Visitors can spy

the historic Hodges Flume winding along the north slope of the gorge, partially on trestles. The flume transported water by gravity from Lake Hodges to the San Dieguito Reservoir four miles to the west until 2003. Though Lake Hodges is actually higher than the San Dieguito Reservoir, an optical illusion makes it look like the water is traveling uphill.
