BY JOE TASH A plan put forward by two property owners to replace a 120-foot section of a dilapidated sea wall constructed in 1983 was approved unanimously by the Del Mar City Council at its meeting on Monday, March 6. The project, which also must undergo review by the California Coastal Commission, involves the construction of 100 feet of sea wall along properties at 2828 and 2820 Ocean Front, as well as 20 feet of replacement sea wall on public property at the end of 29th Street. Two additional sea wall projects – at 2938 Sandy Lane and 2928 Camino Del Mar – are pending, and expected to come before the council in early April, according to city staff. The project at Ocean Front would consist of vertical steel sheet piles with a concrete cap, according to a staff report, which is consistent with the Beach Preservation Initiative, a law approved by Del Mar voters in 1988. Walter Crampton, an engineer working on the project for property owners Matt Coleman and Charles and Lynn Gaylord, said the new sea wall is designed to last for 75 years. “It’s a very robust design,” Crampton said. The wall would be built on private property, except for the SEE SEA WALL, A21

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Highlands Town Center recently christened two new street signs with Casey Driveway and Donahue Driveway, one at the center’s entrance on Del Mar Heights Road and the other on El Camino Real. The signs were installed on Feb. 23 as a surprise to honor two top Donahue Schriber executives for their “vision, dedication and passion” at Del Mar Highlands Town Center and its expansion. Casey Driveway is named for Lawrence Casey, president and chief operating officer, and Donahue Driveway is named after Patrick
Donahue, chairman and CEO. Donahue Driveway heads directly into the newly completed three-level parking garage, which was part of a renovation that included the expansion of Cinepolis. Currently, phase two of renovations is underway with the construction of a more structured parking and an all new KinderCare Preschool and playground. New restaurants set to open in the next few months at the center include Grater Grilled Cheese, gourmet sandwich shop Mendocino Farms, and Pokewan, a build-your-own-poke-bowl eatery. Blumercury beauty supply will also open in 2017.

Family goes on record-breaking journey to Ross Sea BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley residents Alex and Daria Myers and their 8-year-old son Nikolai recently went on an adventure to Antarctica’s Ross Sea, part of a cruise that broke the world record for the southernmost navigation of any vessel in the world, coming within two meters of the Ross Ice Shelf. The trio made the once-in-a-lifetime trip on a 644-foot, luxury private residential ship called The World. This was avid-travelers Daria and Alex’s second voyage to Antarctica but their first time traveling outside the country with their son. “It was an honor to be a part of an expedition team who live and breathe Antarctica,” Alex said. “I broke the record,” proclaimed Nikolai proudly, who can be considered the youngest southernmost passenger in the world. The Myers’ expedition began on Jan. 14 in Hobart, the Southernmost Australian city, and returned to New Zealand on Feb. 7. With 120 passengers on board and about 600 crew, it took five days at sea to reach the Ross Sea, the expert crew threading the needle of storms. “The Ross Sea is perhaps The World’s most ambitious expedition to date,” said expedition leader Rob McCallum on a commemorative trip video made by the crew. “Extremely remote, completely at the whim of ice and weather, but what a magical playground to explore.” Alex said the common theme on the ship was the incredible weather they had, which allowed them to break the record but also to have the fortune to see sights such as the Belleny Islands. McCallum told the passengers that they don’t always take that route by the islands due to weather and that he had never actually seen them as it is almost always foggy and snowy. The passengers were fortunate to get a
clear view of the islands. “We got eight days of sunny, still weather. For Antarctica it was the perfect weather,” Alex said of the 24 hours of sunlight, temperatures in the 30s throughout — the coldest it got was 15 degrees with the wind chill. Daria said when people think of snow and ice they think of just plain white but Antarctica takes on every shade of light and color imaginable. They were able to see incredible wildlife, including seals, seabirds and tons of Emperor penguins and Adelie penguins. “There aren’t too many things that eat penguins, leopard seals primarily, but they are extremely awkward on land. The penguins have zero land-based threats so they’re not conditioned to be afraid (of humans),” Alex said. While the Antarctic Treaty that governs visitors mandates that humans not approach penguins, it doesn’t keep the animals from approaching humans. At one point, Nikolai found himself surrounded by the friendly, curious animals. Having been to Antarctica before, the Myers didn’t want to have any expectations because the itinerary is so fluid and the weather and wildlife can be unpredictable. Their one hope, which they thought would be unlikely, was to be able to do a nice, long hike. However, due to the great weather conditions, the family was able to go on a “significant” two-mile hike, running in the snow in insulated boots and conquering small rocky peaks. Other excursions included going out to explore on zodiac boats (Nikolai even took a turn piloting one), on kayaks and exploring the ice shelf and larger ice floes when safe. They also had the opportunity to visit Zucchelli Station, the permanent Italian research station on the continent. “That was my favorite spot,” said Nikolai, who was treated like a part of

the crew and received commemorative badges. “They were such nice people.” The Italian researchers were invited on board to The World in exchange for the opportunity to visit the station. The Myers’ got a kick of how excited one scientist was to have fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh fruit, requesting that they snap a photo of her posing with a strawberry. The Myers wished they could send her off with some fruit to bring back to the station but the rules are very strict — each passenger’s clothing and shoes has to be thoroughly cleaned when exiting and boarding the ship to ensure no invasive species are introduced to the continent and that
like it went through quite the adventure itself — pages torn in spots and at one point it got lost and nearly demolished with the ship’s trash. Daria is fortunate that she can pull out scrapbooks full of photos of herself as a child exploring places such as the White Sea off the coast of Russia. “I remember it vividly and I want (Nikolai) to experience that, to develop a love of nature and travel and exploring the world,” she said. “For us, travel is equal parts getting to see something and the self-reflection component,” Alex said. “Travel is about getting a different perspective. It’s about growing.” They could think of no better lesson for their son.
nothing from Antarctica is inadvertently brought back home. There were concerns about Nikolai missing six weeks of school but Daria believes the experience was invaluable to the new Del Mar Heights student and just what he needed. “It helped him overcome shyness, he’s better now with talking to people and being more polite,” said Daria, who plans to take him to her native Russia in the summer. As Alex has experience as a tutor, he worked math lessons into the trip and the couple kept Nicolai on a strict journaling schedule. His journal, filled with drawings and long passages about his days at sea and on ice, looks

David Antin’s Words Live On
Hundreds pay tribute to local poet at The Getty Center BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT avid Antin, poet, art critic, performance artist and one of the founding professors of UC San Diego’s Department of Visual Arts, died October 2016 at age 84. In his honor, his son, Blaise, established the David Antin Endowed Prize for Excellence in Visual Arts at UCSD. Another great tribute took place at the Getty Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 4, when hundreds gathered for a memorial honoring Antin with what he was known and loved for — a torrent of words. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Antin made a home here in what is now Carmel Valley, but traveled widely, performing the improvised “talk poems” he later turned into written works. His New York Times obituary ended with a quote from one of his books, “Talking at the Boundaries” that reads “if robert lowell is a poet then i don’t want to be a poet if robert frost was a poet I don’t want to be a poet if socrates was a poet i’ll consider it.” The Getty Research Institute hosted the memorial, since Antin had been a scholar-in-residence there, and they owned his archives. They screened old photos, played one of the tape-recorded poems, and 30 former students and colleagues stood up to share their memories — about 3-5 minutes each — a definite challenge for the gifted, articulate folks who were his friends. They rose to the challenge, and his wife of 55 years, performance
artist/filmmaker/writer Eleanor Antin, didn’t have to stop them with the cowbell she’d brought along. Among the words spoken: Enthusiastic. Inspiring. Compassionate. Generous. Gracious. Insightful. Eloquent. Original. Clashing intelligence. A bracing, provocative voice. Tremendous humor and brio. A phenomenon. “Talking with David always made you feel you were on the verge of an epiphany,” one said. “His mind was magic,” noted another. His oldest friend, poet Jerome Rothenberg, offered a poem: “Can it be fair to write a love song to a friend? ... And does the poem exist when there is no one there to hear it?... Here is the death we feared/Infinite space to every side ... O my friends, there is no friend.” Artists Debby and Larry Kline called for audience participation in “Cacophony,” asking everyone to read out loud, and at the same time, a poem of Antin’s folded inside their programs. Each piece was different, and the blend of voices created a grand orchestration of his work. At the end, there was family: grandson Zachary and his father, Blaise, sharing personal anecdotes, and Eleanor concluding with Antin’s poem “History,” a catalog of deaths, wrecks and disappearances. In an interview earlier, Eleanor had talked about their life together: The two New Yorkers — he from Brooklyn, she from the Bronx — first met at New York’s City College. They shared

‘This was our wedding day. The two people on the right of us are Diane and Jerry Rothenberg, who were our witnesses at City Hall in New York where we were married. I believe it was Dec. 1961. David was better at remembering dates than I am.’ — Eleanor Antin immigrant-parent backgrounds, February birthdays (he an Aquarius, she a Pisces) and an abiding love for art and each other. “He was a philosopher-poet, not only brilliant, but anecdotal and amusing,” she said. “He’d think of something that interested him, talk about it, move around it like he was lost in a forest, but he always found his way out. Then he’d turn the tape recordings of his talks into a literary art form.” He was an athlete, too, she said, going from high school football to running and weightlifting. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 10 years ago, Antin gradually stopped doing performances, but he went on writing and working out until his very last days. His personal trainer summed things up at the memorial, “He gave his all, until there was nothing left in the tank.” This month, Eleanor will be in New York,

Physician shares science behind mental health, happiness tools BY ASHLEY MACKIN “Happiness is a perception. It’s reflective of our perspective on life. We can look at life with different lenses and different prisms. We try to live in a world of Zen, but it doesn’t always happen that way,” said Aboo Nasar, M.D., a board-certified geriatrician and internal medicine physician, during his “Pursuit of Happiness” lecture. The talk was given as part of the La Jolla Community Center Distinguished Speaker Series, Feb. 16. To assist the brain in creating that uplifted perception, Nasar said there are things we can do — eat a healthful diet, get enough sleep, have good social connections and maintain a sense of spirituality. And while these concepts are not exactly breaking news, Nasar explained the science behind these lifestyle habits and their impact on the brain and overall happiness. After speaking at length about why pharmaceuticals are only one option — and perhaps a detrimental one when taken in excess — he talked about how feeding the body well and integrative psychiatry are alternatives being considered more regularly. “Integrative psychiatry looks at the whole person: body, mind and spirit,” he said. “If I have to treat a patient, I have to work with multiple entities … so when we want to assess mental health matters, we have to look at a whole slate of things.” But, he added, “The most important thing is how you feed your body. If you look at a Ferrari, it can look nice, but to run, it has to have a sufficient engine and energy-dispensing system. Food is one of the crucial things that affects mood.”
neurotransmitters used by your spinal cord and our brain,” he said. “For chronic pain and emotional pain … they work very well. You want your body to make endorphins, and diet and time outside can help with that.”
Time to think
He also advocated for meditation as a way to stimulate the brain — both for its ability to relax the brain in the short term and stimulate activity in the long term. “We are a spirit enveloped by a body, not a body with a spirit inside it. How we feed our spirit is a huge component to happiness,” he said. “Spirituality and meditation increases activity in your prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for retention, and works on your emotional brain, as well. For the effective working of your brain, it needs relaxation, too. So if you are having mental health issues, you could go see a psychiatrist, or you could see a monk and I think you would get better results.” After the well-attended talk, several commented that, pending a few too many scientific terms, they appreciated the lecture. “(Nasar) had a lot of great content … He encouraged me to continue on the path I’m on, which includes low sugar, a healthy diet and lots of laughter ... And while my husband and I go to the beach, I now think we need to spend even more time in nature,” said Nancy Lo. Added Mary Jane Oates, “I used to design medical curriculum and teach yoga, so the title of this lecture attracted me here. There weren’t a lot of surprises, it was just encouraging to hear him reinforcing the ideas you hear from a lot of other health experts.”
ASHLEY MACKIN
The La Jolla Community Center draws a crowd for Aboo Nasar’s talk on happiness, Feb. 16.
Mood food
Nasar cited a recent study in Australia, which suggests a diet of whole grains, fruits, nuts, legumes, vegetables, lean meats, chicken and seafood — and a decrease of foods in the “beige diet” (white, carbohydrate-based items that are low in nutrients) — yielded (positive) mood changes that were comparable to those generated by certain pharmaceutical drugs. Conversely, he said high fructose corn syrup and other processed sweeteners can cause brain inflammation “and can contribute to depression and other mental illness.” Offering a few examples of foods that can contribute to a good mood, he said grapes have polyphenols “that are like a freeway cleanup crew for your blood vessels and take plaque and move it (which can boost energy) from around your heart,” he said. Wild-caught salmon, Nasar added, is high in

Vitamin B12, “essential for your neural-integrity and the nerves in your brain.” Lastly, strawberries have Vitamin C and manganese, which are “crucial for making serotonin (a neurotransmitter that contributes to the feeling of well-being) and an amino acid known as GABA, which contributes to neuro-relaxation.” Other foods he recommends include raw almonds, avocados, shitake mushrooms and sesame seeds. Diets high in these foods, along with “beans, greens, citrus, berries, healthy fats such as coconut and fish oils,” contribute to the production of endorphins, he said. Other ways we can encourage the brain to make these elevating neurotransmitters include exercise, laughing, soothing scents such as lavender and spending time in the sun. “Endorphins are the ‘happy’

Assemblymember honors special needs children’s advocate Terri Colachis Assemblymember Brian Maienschein, San Diego, recently honored Del Mar resident Terri Colachis as the 2017 Woman of the Year for the 77th Assembly District in recognition of her dedication and volunteer work to benefit the developmentally disabled children in the community. “Terri Colachis is an exemplary volunteer and a devoted parent to her daughter Shea,” said Maienschein. “Her passionate support of those who are often overlooked and would otherwise have no voice in society is commendable.” Colachis is currently the Board Chair of San Diego-Imperial Counties Developmental Services, Inc., an organization which works with the Department of Developmental Services in assisting persons with developmental disabilities to obtain improved living conditions. It is also the largest nonprofit agency in San Diego, helping around 26,000 individuals in our region.

She and her husband, Gus, are residents of Del Mar and Terri has lived in the 77th Assembly District for over 32 years. She is retired from a professional career in the golf and hospitality industry. Her daughter Shea, one of Terri’s six children, was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old and is non-verbal. This personal experience allowed Colachis to dedicate her life to support not only her daughter, but the many families in similar situations. “I am honored to name Terri Colachis
the 77th District Woman of the Year in recognition of her work on behalf of our San Diego community and the people of California,” said Maienschein. The Woman of the Year honor is part of the State Assembly’s efforts to celebrate California’s extraordinary women. Started in 1987 to help commemorate Women’s History Month, the honor has become an annual Capitol tradition to salute community service. Honorees are presented with a framed certificate from the State Assembly recognizing their outstanding contributions.

Early lives of two Western icons detailed in new book “Dodge City” author to speak at RSF Library March 13 BY JOE TASH Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson are two of the most famous names from the history of the American West. As lawmen and adventurers, they sought to bring a measure of order to frontier towns known for chaos and killings. A new book, “Dodge City,” tells the story of how Earp and Masterson met and put their lives on the line in a hostile environment, during the wild and lawless days of the 1870s. Author Tom Clavin will talk about his work and answer questions during a luncheon at the Rancho Santa Fe Library on Monday, March 13. (That evening, Clavin will speak at Warwick’s book store in La Jolla.) The 11:30 a.m. event is sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, and members can purchase tickets for $45, which includes a light lunch, the author presentation and a signed copy of the book, which was published Feb. 28 by St. Martin’s Press. Non-members can attend the talk on a space-available basis, and copies of the book will be available for sale. For reservations or to become a Guild member, visit www.rsflibraryguild.org, or call 858-756-4780. Earp, who is best known for the shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Ariz., met Masterson when the two were buffalo hunters, said Clavin in an interview. After shooting the beasts, they had to skin them and sell the hides. “It was rotten, dirty, smelly, disgusting work but it paid very well,” Clavin said. Later, they became lawmen - Earp as assistant marshal for Dodge City, and Masterson as sheriff of Ford County. Both men were in their 20s when they began their law enforcement careers. Their job was to tame an essentially lawless place, Dodge

City, Kansas, where people were literally shooting each other in the streets. “They were most visible ones given the task to clean this place up,” Clavin said. One of the toughest tasks they faced, Clavin said, was protecting prisoners from mobs that wanted to string them up for their crimes. In one instance, he said, Earp had to brandish a shotgun to keep an angry group of riders at bay and escort the prisoner to relative safety in the jail. “That was one of the things that showed they really meant it, they chose to be good guys over being bad guys,” he said. In addition to the inherent dangers of being a lawman, Earp and Masterson also had to put up with low pay and no benefits. The myth that they shot their way out of tough situations was overstated - one steady source of income was the $2.50 bonus they received for each successful arrest. The lawmen were not paid if the suspect ended up dead.
“One thing that I point out in the book, was there were very few times that Wyatt and Bat resorted to gunplay to arrest someone,” Clavin said. “If you killed them you didn’t get paid.” Both men went on to live long lives. Earp later settled in California. He lived for a time in San Diego, then settled in Los Angeles, where he died in 1929. Masterson went the other direction, to New York City, where he worked for many years as a newspaper reporter. One story in the book concerns the legend, which turned out to be false, that Masterson had killed 22 people. When drinking in New York’s saloons, he brandished a Colt .45 with 22 notches carved into it. When a drinking buddy insisted on buying the weapon as a keepsake, said Clavin, Masterson would reluctantly agree. The next day, he would go to a pawnshop, purchase another Colt and mark it with 22 notches. “He loved to go to sporting events and saloons and that helped pay for his lifestyle,” Clavin said. In reality, Clavin said, Masterson had actually killed only two men in two separate incidents. One of them had shot and killed his older brother. Clavin said he took care not to repeat the tall tales that surrounded Earp and Masterson, but instead sought to authenticate information through primary sources, such as news accounts from the day. “If you look carefully with the best of intentions you start to see what is authentic and what you should avoid,” he said. Clavin, a former journalist and a resident of Sag Harbor on New York’s Long Island, said he worked on the book for three years. The book tells the tale of two rough-and-tumble young men who took on the difficult task of trying to make the frontier town of Dodge City a safer place. “That’s what I focused on, these two close friends who had each other’s back,” Clavin said.

Carmel Valley resident to be Assistance League helps brighten lives of seniors through floral arrangements recognized as a 'Woman of Influence' A study conducted by researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey found that the simple act of receiving a bouquet of flowers significantly increased happiness and positive moods of seniors coping with the challenges of aging. “The results are significant because as our nation grows older and life becomes more stressful, we look for easy and natural ways to enhance our lives - and the lives of our aging parents,” said Dr. Jeannette Haviland-Jones, professor of psychology and director of the Human Development Lab at Rutgers during the study. “Now, one simple answer is right under our noses.” Members of Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito (ALRSD) recently delivered 45 floral arrangements to several local senior care facilities, including Somerford Place,
Encinitas; Olivenhain Guest Home, Olivenhain; Sunrise at La Costa, Carlsbad; Vista Gardens Memory Care, Vista and Pacifica House-North County Hospice, Carlsbad. The Trader Joe’s store on El Camino Real in Encinitas donated 128 bouquets of flowers that ALRSD volunteers re-arranged into flower arrangements in vases that were then delivered to the various facilities. Assistance League Rancho San Dieguito is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and adults affected by trauma, violence and poverty.

Teen Giving Club, a nonprofit organization founded by Canyon Crest Academy high school students, is expanding its global efforts in humanitarian services with a documented trip to Guatemala to volunteer at local orphanages. The group’s mission, in addition to making a difference in the lives of the orphaned children, is to empower other teenagers to get involved in their communities and develop a love for volunteerism. They plan to do this through a filmed documentary recording the step-by-step process of how the students made their idea a reality and their time spent at the Guatemalan orphanages. Teen Giving Club hopes to distribute the documentary as a motivational video to high schools across the country. The group of student volunteers will travel to Guatemala’s Hogar Miguel Magone and Maria Auxiliadora orphanages and will offer their services by spending time with the children through teaching English and facilitating other activities, such as classroom crafts, music and dance sessions, and friendly sporting games.

COURTESY
Nick Wallace recently spoke to more than 150 employees at Intercept Pharmaceuticals.
ick Wallace, the 17-year old founder of Nick’s Picks, spoke to over 150 employees at Intercept Pharmaceuticals Feb. 28. Nick, a Del Mar resident, was born with biliary atresia, a pediatric liver disease, and at the age of 13, received a life-saving liver transplant. Intercept is evaluating a therapy that could one day be delivered to patients such as Nick to treat the liver disease. “I was honored to speak to the team at Intercept and tell my story,” said Nick. “I feel lucky to have received my liver transplant, but it is very exciting to think that there could soon be a therapy that could treat biliary artesia. I wanted to convey to the team at Intercept how appreciative I am of their efforts.” Nick was invited to speak by Janet Owens-Grillo, Ph.D., principal scientist at Intercept. The presentation was held at Intercept’s La Jolla office. Intercept is focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat progressive non-viral liver diseases, including biliary atresia.
“
Nick is truly inspirational in his outlook on life and the fact that he has already become a leader in the community. To be only 17 and have experienced all that he has and yet be a mentor and a founder of a charitable organization ... is simply amazing.
”
— Janet Owens-Grillo, Ph.D. Principal scientist at Intercept
“Our biliary atresia team is working extremely hard to find a treatment for this rare disease and it always makes the job easier when we can make a direct connection with the patients we are trying to help,” said Owens-Grillo. “Nick is truly inspirational in his outlook on life and the fact that he
has already become a leader in the community. To be only 17 and have experienced all that he has and yet be a mentor and a founder of a charitable organization providing hope and inspiration to chronically ill children, their families, and those who have simply had the good
fortune to meet Nick, is simply amazing.” Nick, a Torrey Pines High School student, founded Nick’s Picks, a 501c3 charity in 2012 — the same month he received a successful liver transplant at the UCLA Medical Center. Nick’s Picks delivers backpacks filled with a dozen games, toys and comfort items that Nick felt most useful when living in hospitalization isolation. Every day the charity is out working to help children cope with a life-threatening illness. Nick’s Picks is funded by sponsors and donors. For more information on Nick’s Picks and how to donate to the charity or sponsor a backpack for delivery to a hospitalized youth, please visit www.nickspicks.org.

TRENDS AND EVENTS SPONSORED CONTENT
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 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!

Bay Club hosts Wheelchair Tennis Clinic
The Bay Club Carmel Valley was the place to be on Feb. 25 as they played host to a three-hour Wheelchair Tennis Clinic for over 20 physically disabled athletes. U.S two-time Paralympian Tennis star Steve Baldwin, who participated in the Rio Games, partnered with Adaptive Sports and Recreation Association, and was also joined by the UCSD Men’s Tennis Team and the team’s coach, Timmer Willing. Baldwin and pros from the Bay Club helped athletes learn the basics of the game - strokes, strategies and rules, and then played against each other to practice what they learned. This clinic will be the kick off for a new wheelchair tennis program from Adaptive Sports and Recreation that is in the works.

Paralympian swimmer Roy Perkins speaks at The Bishop’s School Bishop’s alumnus and Del Mar native Roy Perkins ’08, a successful two-time Paralympian swimmer, current student at Stanford University and recent recipient of the Challenged Athlete of the Year Award, spoke at The Bishop’s School Feb. 27 as an Endowed Leadership Lecture Series speaker. Perkins’ talk kicked off Acceptance Week, a week of activities focused on acceptance and kindness, organized by Peer Support in conjunction with the school’s affinity groups. He spoke about his time at Bishop’s, his supportive family and friends, overcoming life’s obstacles and swimming in the Paralympics. Being born without hands or feet has never stopped Perkins from doing the things he loves. He learned to swim at age 12 and trained until he reached the top. He received a gold and a bronze medal at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, two silver and two bronze medals at the 2012 Paralympics in London, and one gold and one silver medal at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. To honor Perkins’ determination, Head of School Aimeclaire Roche presented him with another gold medal for his impressive collection - The Bishop’s Medal.

CCA wins title on last-second goal BY JUSTIN LAFFERTY Chris DePetro doesn’t consider himself a goal scorer, but the Canyon Crest Academy senior midfielder found the back of the net at the best possible time on Saturday night. In the closing seconds, DePetro netted the go-ahead goal to give the Ravens a 2-1 victory over top-seeded Scripps Ranch for the San Diego Section Division I boys soccer championship at Mesa College. “We’ve overcome so much this season, off the field and on the field, and it’s been such a journey,” DePetro said. “Hitting it in the back of the net to get the win was amazing. I was overcome with emotion.” Tied at 1-1 with under two minutes
remaining, DePetro took a pass from senior forward Bennett Williams and found a seam. DePetro sneaked the shot past Falcons goalkeeper Preston Chau, giving the No. 3 Ravens (15-7-4) the final margin of victory. DePetro’s goal was the cherry on top of a contentious match. Canyon Crest struck first on Evan Shapiro’s goal midway through the first half. Scripps Ranch (13-5-9) tied it early in the second half when Landon Graham scored. Roughly 17 minutes later, Scripps Ranch had another solid opportunity, but Canyon Crest’s defense prevailed. – Justin Lafferty writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune

OUR READERS WRITE Climate has always changed Thanks to Mark Peters for his recent letters discussing the inconsistency of climate change predictions and accuracy. The technique used by some to say “almost all scientists agree…” is called an appeal to authority, and is often used by proponents of a position to obscure facts, or in the case of man-caused climate change, the absence of them. The facts of climate change include the reality that climate has always changed, that the causes are varied, with dependent variables not yet well understood, and hence the predictions based on resultant modeling are necessarily unreliable. In was not so many years ago that global cooling was the imminent threat to public safety, and now recently, we are supposed to live in fear of warming. Instead, we should realize that climatology, as a science, is perhaps a 50-year-old profession. That the globe’s weather processes are complex and yet to be effectively described by even well thought out theories. I struggle with calling man-caused climate change even a hypothesis, instead thinking that speculation is the correct term. Given that man-caused climate change is speculative as to cause and effect measurable by commonly used statistical methods to establish veracity, then it is immoral and unjust to legislate and regulate individual rights in terms of business opportunities and choices of technologies and products. I oppose legislation favoring one technology over another, one industry over another, and instead support free market solutions to meeting individual needs and wants, while consistently protecting the rights of others to make their own choices. However, the transgression of imposing one’s morality or viewpoint on others through the use of government force (legislation, regulation) is immoral and unjust. The recent action of some several states’ attorneys general to restrict free
speech through government subpoena of email is an example of rights violation though government force. Human life has benefited immensely through the productive application of capital and technology. Our life spans have lengthened greatly since the onset of the Industrial Revolution. If climate change is a problem, instead of merely a fact of life on planet earth, then a free people, unshackled by dogma, will solve it. Bill Stoops Solana Beach
Time for term limits for opinion columnists For those who are longtime residents of North County, Marsha Sutton’s columns are getting predictable: stirring up drama; sticking up for the (deserved) underdog; ambushing unsuspecting interviewees; and, some might argue, boosting SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar’s extreme and unpopular views. Just look into the history of Prop CC and her coverage of the three sacked DMUSD superintendents during the recent recession; you’ll see how she carelessly she wields her power as the only education columnist in town. As soon as I saw Time for Term Limits, I thought to myself, “OK, this is going to be about Marsha’s pick Lucille Lynch not winning a seat on the SDUHSD board… with a hint of John Salazar’s term limit recommendation.” As I patiently waded through the lengthy article, I found that yes, Salazarian term limits was the subject, and yes, trustees in the SDUHSD were the prime examples of term limits gone berserk (according to Ms. Sutton). We have already collectively held our breath while Ms. Sutton had the audacity to write a column praising candidate Lynch – during the election! – using the loophole of calling her a parent. I am yearning for a new education
Harvesting food awareness in Encinitas
P
eople talk about the need to teach future generations about the environment, conservation and food justice. But most schools are doing little more to educate kids to the growing needs of our planet than teaching from a textbook, if that. The Encinitas Union School District is a huge exception. Under EUSD, an endeavor called Farm Lab has become a national model for hands-on learning about bio-diversity, agriculture and environmental science. Farm Lab, situated on 10 acres of land on Quail Gardens Drive, is an indoor/outdoor classroom setting where students see first-hand
how food is produced, gain knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating, and learn about the importance of recycling and conservation. Through project-based learning, each of the 5,400 students in the K-6 district spends time at Farm Lab to gain greater awareness of environmental science and crop production. Calling Farm Lab “a unique learning resource for all students,” EUSD Superintendent Tim Baird said he’s aware of no other school offering this kind of program. EUSD is the first school district in the nation to have a certified organic crop production farm supplying its school lunch programs at all nine of its schools. And Farm Lab has yielded a
columnist who writes more succinctly and more thoughtfully. Afterthought – Writing this with the CV News next to me, I just glanced over and saw a picture of longtime SDUHSD Trustees Beth Hergesheimer and Joyce Dalessandro, all smiles, attending a CCA gala. I cannot remember ever having seen a picture of Trustee Salazar attending SDUHSD events. Maybe he’s the one who is burned out already? Kate Takahashi SDUHSD parent, former CDM PTA President
Time for term limits? When did Marsha Sutton become such a bore? Her columns have become turgid and repetitive. Education Matters, March 2, 2017 is no exception. Has she simply been around too long? How many decades has it been? We get it, Ms. Sutton, that you do not like board members, administrators, teachers, especially if they make more money than you do; you have told us so - frequently. We get it that only you can make the darkness light; we know you have never admitted to being wrong, in spite of some spectacular errors – who can forget 2006? We get it that you have to take two pages to say what could be said in one short paragraph. Maybe it’s time for you to go and find a new job; axe grinding comes to mind. The fact is that if I have to choose who should make decisions about local children, I will take an experienced school board member with a tangible and worthy record any day over your slow-drip poison pen. Time for term limits? As a general rule, I do not favor term limits for elected officials, but I could be persuaded that some education columnists should be termed out, and the sooner the better. To use your own words, “It’s nothing that smart, committed individuals can’t learn.” This newspaper would certainly benefit from “fresh vitality, energy and new ideas.” At some SEE LETTERS, A22 bountiful harvest. Presently, only one of the 10 available acres at Farm Lab is used for crop production, and that one acre so far this school year has produced over 4,000 pounds of watermelon, 900 pounds of pumpkins, 300 heads of lettuce every week, about 200 pounds of carrots per week, and 50 pounds of broccoli. The colorful watermelon varieties harvested included Heirloom Yellow Shipper, Red Seeded Navajo, Crimson, Sugar Baby and Ice Cream – “a delicious selection of yellow, pink and red watermelon,” said Mim Michelove, Farm Lab director. Because of last summer’s substantial harvest, the district was able to preserve some of the crop production for this year’s school lunches. “We are thrilled that over the summer we also grew several crates of herbs and over 5,000 pounds of tomatoes and peppers that were roasted and preserved as pizza and marinara sauce for this school year,” Michelove said. All this organic produce finds its way into the school lunch programs via EUSD’s central kitchen at El Camino Creek Elementary School. SEE SUTTON, A22

Canyon Crest Academy fell one game short of their goal of reaching their first CIF championship game by losing to Orange Glen in the semi-final 62-51. The two teams traded leads for the first three quarters before the visitors from Orange Glen pulled away down the stretch. The game was intense and physical on both sides. Aaron Acosta left the game early in the second quarter after taking an elbow to the nose before returning shortly before half. Ryan Michaels scored 24 points, leading all scorers in his last game as senior. For the season, Michaels earned first team all Avocado West Conference honors and set a school record for three point shooting.

FROM SKYLINE, A1 we’re done, will be completely rebuilt from the ground up.” Typically a project like this would be built in phases but because they are able to relocate all children off-site and don’t have to build around them, it shortens the construction timeline by about 10 months according to Eric Davy of Davy Architecture. During construction, Skyline students will take advantage of the interim campus across the street at Earl Warren Middle School, the one Earl Warren students had been attending while their new school was built. The new Earl Warren is set to be ready for move-in by May. Caroline Brown, executive director of capital programs and technology, said the design process for the new Skyline School started over a year ago with a team of community members, teachers, administrators and teachers across the district. The new 70,0000-square-foot campus will feature a multi-purpose building and kindergarten building accessible right in front of the school and a two-story administration
and main classroom building which will have 33 classrooms (the current campus has 31). While the environmental documents state a “worst-case scenario” capacity of 720 students, Brown said they do not anticipate having that many students on campus. Per long-term demographics they expect to have about 550 to 570 students until 2026. Some residents voiced concern about the height of the two-story building but, as Davy explained, the building is stepped like a split-level home. “We’re not higher than the existing school,” Davy said. “If anything we’re coming down.” The buildings will be concrete masonry with metal roofs — Davy said the intent with the materials is to make the buildings as durable as possible. The campus will have an “expansive” new play space with an amphitheater, garden and lunch shelter —the large green playing fields will remain mostly untouched. Solar canopies will be placed over the lunch shelter and over parking lot covers. The new parking lot will

feature a much longer drop-off area of about 500 feet, which will hopefully prevent the back-up of cars on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. There will be three access points to the school on Lomas Santa Fe, the far east one will be entrance only with right-in and left-in, the middle will be right-out and right-in, and the most western one will be right-out only. Many residents had concerns about Glencrest Drive, Hill Street and Hill Court behind the school, which see a lot of traffic during school drop-off and pick-up. As there is no left turn out of the school, many people also use the streets as a cut-through way back to Interstate-5. Neighbors say the streets get congested, driveways are blocked and cars parked on the street have been damaged. Additionally, there are no sidewalks on Glencrest which makes it dangerous for young pedestrians. “These streets were never geared to handle that much traffic,” one resident said. “Not having sidewalks is an accident waiting to happen.” Brown said the project’s
March 12th
traffic study focused only on Stevens Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe and did not include Glencrest and Hill, although the City of Solana Beach has reviewed the streets on previous traffic projects. City of Solana Beach Engineer Mo Sammak said while the school district does not require city approval for its project they worked together on a design that may not eliminate all of the problems but would at least help improve traffic conditions for the surrounding community. “We made a recommendation to prolong the drop-off distance to ensure that the entire pick-up and drop-off stays on site,” Sammak said. “Based on our analysis, this configuration is going to reduce traffic on Dell Street.” Residents had also asked about the possibility of adding a traffic light to allow for a left-out exit for the school. Sammak said city engineers evaluated adding signalization to the east entrance to the school, which would line up with the entrance to the shopping center across the street. “It didn’t work out because it’s too close to the existing intersection at Solana Hills Drive,” Sammak said.”It would have created a much worse headache than not putting it in.” The school’s rear stairwell that comes down from Hill Street has been closed for about a year and a half as the district works on a project for the gates to automatically lock for safety purposes. The closure of the gates has exacerbated traffic problems, neighbors say — additionally they liked having the gate open for access; it serves as a useful community’ “stair-stepper” for exercise. Brown said the district hopes to complete the gate project soon — it will have a posted schedule for when the gates will be unlocked on weekends and after-school hours. Balfour Beatty, who built the district’s newest school Solana Ranch in 2014, will be handling construction of Skyline. During the 14-month construction, there will be no parking of construction vehicles on residential streets, in the shopping center or church across the street — all vehicles will park on Solana Hills Drive.

section at the end of 29th Street, according to a staff report, and consist of a concrete cap, of about 11 feet in height, although some of that would be embedded in sand. Below that, the steel sheet piles would extend an additional 28 feet down, according to the report. Council members approved the project with little discussion after hearing reports by city staff and the project engineer. City Councilman Dave Druker said the city wants a continuous sea wall along the beach, and the existing wall at the project site should have been replaced long ago. “I think its important we approve this and ask other people to come forward and get their sea walls approved,” Druker said. “This is really the ideal solution for us,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “It’s in strict compliance with the (Beach Preservation Initiative), they’re not asking to use any public property, they’re building a state-of-the-art sea wall that’s going to be safe and attractive and work well.”
“This is what I hope is a precedent for other people on the beach on how to do it right,” said Worden, a former Del Mar city attorney who worked with the citizens group that put the Beach Preservation Initiative on the ballot. According to city staff, the wall will be similar in appearance to other recently approved sea walls south of 29th Street, and the concrete would be colored to match the appearance of beach sand. In February, the city’s Design Review Board approved the design of the proposed sea wall on a 7-0 vote, said the staff report. The section of sea wall to be replaced is part of a 290-foot-long sea wall built in 1983, said the staff report. “The existing wall has become extremely deteriorated over the years and shows signs of extreme corrosion and has become perforated causing loss of fill from behind the wall,” said the report. As part of the project, the southern half of the sea wall at the end of 29th Street will also be replaced, including an all-weather stairway for beach access. The owner of the property at 2828

Ocean Front, Matt Coleman, elected to extend the sea wall onto 29th Street, rather than building a wall along the north edge of his property, because it will be easier to construct and more cost-effective, said the report. The new sea wall will also eliminate a “jog” where the existing sea wall connects at 29th Street, to reduce “edge waves” that may occur and cause damage to private property and the beach, said the report. A letter included with the council agenda said that Coleman will share the cost of the 29th Street portion of the project with the applicant for the sea wall project at 3928 Camino Del Mar, one of the two projects pending with the city. The letter from attorney Julie Hamilton said the estimated cost for 10 feet of sea wall plus the public access stairway is $85,133. The letter also suggests that replacement of the northern half of the 29th Street sea wall be paid for by future applicants for sea wall projects. The city staff report notes that all costs for the sea wall project will be paid for by the applicants.

FROM SUTTON, A18 In addition, each of the nine schools has its own garden. At some of the schools, students are harvesting vegetables and preparing meals. A combination of enrichment teachers, staff and parent volunteers lead sessions in the gardens on composting, seed planting, crop production, pest control, harvesting, irrigation, water conservation, recycling and other agricultural lessons. As a result, Michelove said the children have become more savvy about nutrition and have improved their healthy eating choices. Sustainable farming The students don’t actually do the farming at Farm Lab. “They don’t really dig in the dirt,” said Baird, who has been superintendent of the Encinitas Union School District for the past eight years. “We initially tried to farm Farm Lab ourselves,” he said. “At times, we needed more workers and more equipment than we could provide. At other times, the farm work would slow down.” He said the district decided to contract with Coastal Roots Farm, an independent organization created by the philanthropic Leichtag Foundation. Leichtag and Coastal Roots are located across the street from Farm Lab. Coastal Roots Farm is a nonprofit community farm and education center that practices sustainable farming and provides free and reduced-price food for nearby communities. EUSD pays Coastal Roots about $40,000 annually to farm the one acre of land that’s
currently producing the district’s food. To do the farming, Coastal Roots handles all the heavy machinery and necessary equipment, which students aren’t allowed to be near, and Coastal Roots is given a portion of the district’s land to farm for themselves. The cost of having the land professionally farmed, Baird said, is more than offset by the savings the district realizes from growing its own food. “I think it has been a good deal for all parties,” Baird said. The money to run Farm Lab comes from a number of sources: Proposition P which was passed by voters in 2010, grants, donations, and the district’s general fund. Baird said the initial cost to start the project, about $1.5 million, was high because there were no sewer lines or utilities to support the on-site portable classrooms. Two full-time staff members are paid by the district: Michelove and a teacher on special assignment, as well as a part-time custodian. In addition to her job on the instructional side, Michelove, who has been full-time with the district for about 18 months, also writes grant requests for Farm Lab. Last year she said the district received nearly $170,000 in grants, donations and in-kind donations of materials and services. “We are currently in the running for other large grants, and are just about to roll out a community fundraising campaign,” she said.

classes and instruction, making what Michelove calls a living classroom. During my visit last month, energetic third-graders from Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary School spent the morning at nearby San Diego Botanic Garden studying biodiversity. Then, after lunch and playtime at Farm Lab, the children regrouped in onsite classrooms to design an insect that would survive in the two diverse ecosystems they had just explored at the Botanic Garden. Examples of diverse ecosystems might be a rainforest and the desert. This, said Baird, is a perfect example of project-based learning. In another example, Michelove described how first-grade students researched and designed devices to control pests without chemicals, using sound, light and motion. The outdoor education program, she said, presents meaningful ways for kids to focus on the environment and nutrition. When I asked how all this fits into an impacted curriculum day, Baird agreed it’s not simple but it all ties into math and science standards. He said this type of real-world, experiential learning that focuses on design and research integrates science, math, writing and oral presentation. The district ensures that these lessons conform with state standards and actually enhance educational value through an infused curriculum. Take, for example, the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The SWPPP, Baird said, is a program “developed in our district, and now other school districts are looking to start similar programs of their own.”
The program runs every year at all nine schools for fifth- and sixth-graders, and “it is very popular with our students,” he said. He said students become the district’s SWPPP consultants. “Working with adult mentors, they do everything that a paid consultant would do,” Baird explained. “They examine our storm water runoff. They review our drains, pollutants, and the pathway of water to the ocean. They work with scientists to test water samples. “Finally, they write up a plan to improve the storm water drainage and submit it to our school board and the county board of supervisors. In the process, they learn a lot about math, science, technical writing, planning, and public speaking.” He said EUSD recently received a large state grant for storm water pollution prevention, “so these students are now meeting with potential contractors, reviewing bidding documents, and developing plans for large scale environmental building solutions.” It’s all about integrated learning, with activities and assignments that focus on nutrition, conservation, ecology, math, earth science, environmental science and history. Teaching young students about the value of environmental stewardship and environmental wellness is an incalculable bonus. End of Part One. For Part Two, next week, read about Farm Lab’s water conservation program, the food forest, the history of the land and plans for the future.

Two bills that should be stopped Two very concerning bills are being considered in the State Senate this session, Senate Bill 18 and Senate Bill 54, and I’m asking for the public’s help to defeat them. SB 18, or the “Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in California,” is a bill that sounds like it was designed to help the children and youth of our state, but would insert the government into the sacred parent-child relationship by creating a standard for measuring “bad” parents – discarding the God-given parental right to raise and provide for their children. Why set a standard unless you plan to enforce it on every parent and child? It is evident in the draft of the bill, that it contemplates the state power to seize or restrict parents’ access to children that aren’t receiving what they determine to be the correct “research-based essential needs” and “special care” from their parents or guardians. Parent who homeschool, choose alternative vaccine schedules, allow their child the occasional sugary drink, or have other beliefs that run
counter to the current political majority are all rightfully concerned that SB 18 would allow the government to step in and force them to parent against their beliefs. You were the one at their bedside, you are the one who will be fighting for your children their entire lives, and you should be in charge, not the government. SB 54 is the next step in making California a “sanctuary state” that protects deportable felons from federal immigration authorities. The bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from giving any information to federal immigration authorities regarding serious felons in their jails and prisons, making it harder if not impossible for the federal authorities to find these criminals in order to deport them. The result is that these felons return to our communities when their sentence is up, rather than being deported. These are not “Dreamers” – undocumented immigrants brought her as young children who’ve committed no other crimes. These are felons convicted of crimes such as: assault with a deadly weapon, date rape, and burglary. If you agree that these bills should be stopped, please co-sign our petitions to the authors of these bills on my website at www.sen.ca.gov/anderson. SB 54 will be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on March 13 and I will personally be delivering the names of everyone who has signed my petition to the author. SB 18 has not yet been set for a hearing but I will be doing the same when it is scheduled. Senator Joel Anderson, Senate District 38

CCA students ‘cut loose’ in Footloose T “
BRITTANY WOOLSEY
Avery-Claire Nugent and Jonas McMullen rehearse a scene from “Footloose,” which will be performed at Canyon Crest Academy later this month.
BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY heater students at Canyon Crest Academy are getting ready to trade sneakers for cowboy boots and modern songs for 1980s classics in their upcoming performance of Footloose. The musical — modeled after the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon — follows the story of Ren, a newcomer to a highly religious, strict town, who wants to bring some fun into the area. However, a stern city council and reverend — who is the father of Ren’s love interest Ariel — make things difficult. Jeannine Marquie, theater director at CCA in Carmel Valley, said she thought Footloose — which is being performed on select days from March 17 to April 1 — would be a fun throwback to the 1980s. “Every other year, I look for a big show we can do that a lot of students can be involved in,” she said, adding the school is also simultaneously putting on the play She Kills Monsters, which takes place in the 1990s. While the parents of the students were excited about Footloose — which features classic ’80s songs like the iconic title track and Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” — Marquie said it took some time to get the kids pumped for the show, which was announced last summer and held auditions in December. Since then, the cast has been rehearsing four days a week for three hours a day. Eventually, the teenagers found they
You can just really connect with Footloose on a deeper level. I feel like we find the parts of these characters that we see in ourselves, and that just makes it even easier.

were connected to the piece despite the generation gap because of their desires to be independent. “I feel like this show is more relatable than other things we have done in the past,” said Jonas McMullen, a 17-year-old junior who is playing Ren. “It’s so fun to do shows like Evita, but you can just really connect with Footloose on a deeper level. I feel like we find the parts of these characters that we see in ourselves, and that just makes it even easier.” He said stepping into the shoes of Bacon — in a sense — is nerve-wracking, but he’s been watching the original film on repeat to study the character.

Tasty memoir dishes up food, family and friendship BY JOE TASH s the daughter of a Middle Eastern father and an American mother, Diana Abu-Jaber grew up in a household with strict, traditional rules — she and her sisters were not allowed to date or indulge their romantic passions. Instead, she said, they developed a strong love of the sensual, and the kitchen table became a cornerstone of family life. “Food became one of those sensual pools... that led me to love the body, the forbidden... all the things that had been taboo in my childhood,” said Abu-Jaber, the featured speaker at the Feb. 13 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society. The event was held at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. Abu-Jaber, the author of four novels and two memoirs, came to talk about her latest work, a family history called “Life Without a Recipe,” which was published by Norton in 2016. The book weaves together the writer’s memories of her life’s milestones — from the
A
adoption of her daughter to the deaths of close family members — with details about the dishes prepared for or by her at various stages of both childhood and adulthood. Two key figures emerge in the book — her maternal grandmother, Grace, of German heritage, who plied her grandchildren with a rich assortment of cookies, cakes and other baked goods, and her father, Bud, who grew up in Jordan, and served as her family’s most prominent culinary practitioner.

Acclaimed soul-pop group Lake Street Dive headed to the Belly Up
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY ROB LEDONNE Thirteen years ago next month, the throwback soul group Lake Street Dive formed in their hometown of Boston, Mass. For the past decade, the band has been on a steady rise that has taken their act nationwide and has earned them a cult fan base, numerous accolades and a laundry list of viral singles. “We formed when I was 18,” explains lead vocalist Rachael Price. “It seems like a lifetime ago, but it also doesn’t feel that long. It’s one of those interesting things because it’s always new and changing.” Price and her bandmates are currently on a nationwide tour across the United States, including a gig in Solana Beach at the Belly Up on Sunday, March 19 at 8 p.m. It’s all in support of their most recent album Side Pony. Released last year, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard Rock, Alternative, and Folk charts. However, Lake Street Dive hasn’t always enjoyed mainstream success. “There’s been a few specific moments in our career that have been milestones,” notes Price. In their early days, the band performed at bars and clubs around the nation without much of a following. That all changed when they began posting videos online, one of which went viral. “We posted a cover of (The Jackson 5’s)

The cast of the world premiere of ‘The Blameless,’ with playwright Nick Gandiello (third from the left) and director by Gaye Taylor Upchurch (center).
Old Globe Theatre’s ‘Blameless’ explores moving past tragedy BY DIANA SAENGER It’s unlikely to get through life without experiencing bad times. “The Blameless” acknowledges such and takes a look at the happy, close-knit Garcia family striving to overcome a tragic act of violence. Written by Nick Gandiello and directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, the play has its world premiere at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park through March 26. “Nick is a really great writer with a fantastic ear for dialogue,” Upchurch said. “He’s able to make a very intimate, personal story about one family so universal. When you’re watching the play, you see that his magic includes everyone in the room. It’s fantastic. “I’m very interested in how we get beyond tragedy and move through life when things don’t go as we plan them. Nick was able to laser-in on this family and how they are coping ... He does an amazing job of injecting grace, humor and pathos ... people writing about tragedy can be sentimental or brutal. In my experience of grief, we as humans have to find joy somewhere and survive. This family that Nick put together is in the process of doing that.” Upchurch said Gandiello wrote “The Blameless” from his own experiences. His characters must find a way to hold everything together as they welcome to dinner the one man who might help them heal — or reopen their wounds. “I’m not sure how much really relates to his life,” she said. “But, he did experience loss and is able to tap into that as a writer who has a very broad and deep imagination. The ‘family’ cast gets along very well on and off stage. They have a real respect and love for each other. This production makes me feel less alone in the world, and when we’re going through the process of grief, sadness, tragedy and feeling alone, it can be at the heart of that.”
COURTESY
‘The Blameless’ runs through March 26 at The Old Globe Theatre. The cast includes Amara James Aja as Howard Harper, Liza Colón-Zayas as Amanda Garcia, Antoinette LaVecchia as Diana Garcia, Frank Pando as Alex Garcia, Stephen Barker Turner as Drew Davis, and Carmen Zilles as Theresa Garcia. Upchurch said she hopes people leaving the theater will “feel a sense of community, holding people you love tighter and being steeped in the love that creates fuller lives.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Blameless,” runs through March 26 at Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Let’s talk about something retirement communities hardly ever mention. Accreditation. Because having the confidence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk. La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a five-star rating for a hotel. But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it.

It’s time to plan for tomorrow - today BY STEWART J. WEISSMAN,
Wealth Preservation, LLC
Many people don’t understand extended care coverage or why they may need long-term care in their lifetime. Most men believe long-term care cannot possibly happen to them and many spouses believe they will be Stewart J. able to simply remain in their Weissman homes, should care be required for their lifetimes. While this may or may not be accurate, here is what is true. Long-term care is a serious problem today, that is getting only worst as people all live longer life expectancies. Some people believe they have coverage under medicare and or medical, not exactly true. Many people know what a serious issue this may be. Plus many people have or are experiencing their parents or loved ones receiving some type of care in their home or a facility. They may even be helping to pay the costs. No one wants to spend their money on something that might happen in 10-15 years from now or possibly longer, especially when you believe this won’t happen to you. Many people believe they have sufficient capital to cover these unexpected expenses and/or someone will take care of them, which
is the real problem. Extended care is the assistance needed when someone has a serious impairment, physical or cognitive. The problem is the consequences, the emotional and physical damage to the family is very real and potentially irreversible. Normally, providing care to a chronically ill person takes its toll on the caretaker who can become chronically ill and resentful. Most children would put aside their life to help care for the parent. Additionally, providing care to a parent is rarely a shared responsibility by any family member, much less asking one child to take on that responsibility. Paying for extended care basically is a reallocation of resources from cash flow and in many situations, those funds are already committed. Here are undeniable facts to consider. • 70% of people aged 65 or more stand a chance of needing long-term care somewhere along the way. • 40% of people currently receiving long-term care are adults aged 18-64 years old. • 50% of the entire population will require long-term care sometime over their course of their lives. These are the extended care “Myths and Realities”: Myth: Most people will never use long-term care insurance
COURTESY
Time to plan for the future is now. Reality: About 70% of seniors will eventually need some form of long-term care. Myth: Savers can “self-insure” when they are older. Reality: The national annual median cost of care for private room nursing home care is $77,745 a year. But costs can vary widely by area and can run as high as $202,210 a year. Myth: Medicare or Medicaid will cover my long-term care expenses. Reality: Medicare typically only covers post-hospital, short-term rehabilitative care and short nursing home visits. That leaves Medicaid to pick up the rest. However, to qualify for Medicaid, you must spend your assets until you reach your state’s poverty level. Myth: Long-term care insurance is too expensive. Reality: Not today, new innovative products available make this very affordable, plus you can utilize an existing asset, typically money you currently have in CD’s, savings, annuities,
IRA’s or retirement funds as a guaranteed single premium, allowing you to avoid ongoing, non-guaranteed annual premiums usually required by other forms of long-term care insurance. At Wealth Preservation, LLC, we offer new linked benefit products, covering long-term care, for all services in home and/or in a facility, provides a death benefit to each of you if LTC is not required and you can have your money back in the future if you don’t need it or want the policy any longer, for whatever your reason. The same monthly benefits are available to you both as it is a joint policy. Here is the advantages of this product and why it is different than most others: 1) Premiums are guaranteed. 2) The amount of death/long-term care benefits are guaranteed. 3) The money earns interest with a minimum guaranteed interest rate.

New F45 gym opens in Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s new functional fitness studio F45 celebrated its grand opening on March 4 in Piazza Carmel with attendees getting in a high-energy workout and toasting with green juice and protein coffee. The interval training studio is a franchise out of Australia that is just getting its start in the United States. In the last two years, the franchise has grown to over 650 studios in over 24 countries. Owners Jonathan Huls and Ben Zintak opened the Carmel Valley location and will open their second and third locations in downtown San Diego and East Lake Forest in Mission Viejo. Opening the gym has been a nice change of pace for Huls, who had been working a “normal corporate job” in San Diego for the last 10 years. “I was working 60 hours a week and I got so burned out and wanted to do something else,” Huls said. Keeping fit had always been something he enjoyed and he had never forgotten the F45 workout he fell in love with while traveling in Australia with his wife Brigette.
“I thought it was the best, absolutely greatest workout,” he said. After finding out that F45 had recently begun franchising, he brought along his friend Zintak, whom he had met when they were both nuclear mechanics in the Navy. Huls said what makes F45 unique is that the exercises are different every single day – with thousands of moves in the arsenal, you will never get the same workout twice. The workouts, as the name implies, are a functional 45 minutes of training each session, except for the weekends when classes are an hour long and feature a live DJ. In a typical workout class, the instructor is at the front of the room leading the class but at F45 the workout is broadcast on TVs throughout the studio, freeing up the instructor to move throughout the class to motivate participants or correct form. In F45 classes, Huls said you are never doing any exercise for more than a minute — rotating to different stations such as rowers, bikes, sled tracks, ropes, pull-up bars and to exercises like chest flys, weighted lunges, plyometric

There are three types of classes throughout the week: the more cardio-focused Athletica; the strength workout Romans; and
Gravity, which is a workout without equipment utilizing all body-weight exercises. “Everyone loves the Saturday classes,” Huls said of the live DJ and the fun and social workout atmosphere. “Those classes are always the most full.” For the last few months, F45 has introduced itself to the community with workouts at the Lorna Jane

Robert Dubac’s comedy 'The Book of Moron' returns to North Coast Rep Returning to the North Coast Repertory stage March 20-21 at 7:30 p.m. is Robert Dubac’s Off-Broadway solo hit “The Book of Moron.” This comedy show has been described as one of the most “hilarious,” “intelligent” and “scorching” satirical attacks on idiocracy since Mark Twain. (And “idiocracy” isn’t even a word. How dumb is that?) Combining theatre with stand-up Dubac buckles us up for a fast-paced joy ride over the pot-holed highways of cultural hypocrisy. Riding shotgun with intelligence and absurdity he crashes
head first into the barriers of sex, race, religion, politics and the media. And he’s not alone. With mesmerizing ease, he portrays multiple characters who all take turns beating the hornet’s nest of hype and spin with the big stick of knowledge. It’s comedy on steroids. Think your funny bone can handle it? If you like your satire served up with a clever intelligent edge; if you want to hear a voice that speaks as though it originated from inside of your own frustrated head; if you are tired of adolescent comedy generated by the mediocrity of television; don’t miss Robert Dubac’s THE BOOK OF MORON! To order tickets, visit www.northcoastrep.org, or call the box office 858-481-1055. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, 92075.

When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic
comedy laden 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).

Del Mar Art Center Gallery to present two donations at reception Del Mar Art Center Gallery recently announced a donation of $2,000 to the Monarch School in downtown San Diego, and $2,000 to ArtsBusXpress. Presentation of checks will be at a hosted reception held at the gallery on Saturday, March 18, from 5-8 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. The gallery will validate 2-hour underground parking. The Del Mar Art Center Gallery, a nonprofit artist cooperative, presents annual donations to arts programs in the region. “We give back to a community that has supported our artists for the past 16 years”, says Maidy Morhous, president of the gallery. “We look for organizations who provide value in the arts. ArtsBusXpress and the Monarch Schools were at the
top of the list for their contributions to youth. We are very happy to be able to support these two worthy organizations in 2017.” Since 2002, ArtsBusXpress, a 501-c3, has been providing funding for field study trips to arts- and science- rich venues throughout San Diego County. More than 200,000 students have taken life-changing field trips that introduce them to learning “outside the walls” of their classrooms. ABX is the “missing link” that provides transportation grants (funding) to San Diego’s teachers. It enables teachers to integrate “real life experiences” to art and science museums, music, theater and dance performances. For many students, this may be the only time they experience a world outside their

a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix, is looking for a loving home. She may be missing a few teeth, but she’s still the total package. Raisin is looking for a loving family who will be committed to keeping her healthy and happy in her golden years. In return, she’ll give you all the love she can. She’s a tad bit shy, so her caregivers would like to speak with her new family on tips to build her confidence before taking her home. Once she gets to know you, she loves to snuggle and get belly rubs. Raisin is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 East Valley Parkway. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

FROM FOOTLOOSE, B1 who is playing Rev. Shaw Moore, said he has found it challenging to embody his strict adult character since he feels more toward the younger players. As a senior applying to colleges, he said he can relate to the younger characters wanting to break free from the rules. “The process of stepping into the shoes of an older character and trying to inhabit the life of a preacher who has a wife and daughter was a surreal experience,” said Magin, who had never participated in a musical before Footloose. “I can kind of see it’s tough to relate to teenagers when you’re not a teenager and you’re so removed from it. It’s like I want to be rooting for Ren, but I can’t.” The show also features the talents of students other than those from the theater program. Marquie said students from the dance and

singing disciplines also have numbers in the show, and one student was even asked to write an original song for the score. Allie James, the 15-year-old freshman who wrote a ballad for the show, said this was her first time writing a song for a musical. “It was really hard writing it,” she said, adding she is also performing the song in the play. “It was a totally different genre for me. When I was asked to write it, I was so excited. I jumped right on it.” Opportunities like that are what draw students to the school, which is divided into seven disciplines — cinema, dance, digital/fine arts, humanities, instrumental music, theater and vocal music. CCA Principal Brett Killeen said when the school opened in 2004, part of its identity was the envisioned performing arts program. He said guest artists — like Broadway actress Susan Egan — have come to the school to speak to and help teach the students.
Avery-Claire Nugent, a 17-year-old junior who is playing Ariel, the reverend’s rebellious daughter and Ren’s love interest, said there was no question she’d attend the school. Interested students are placed into a lottery system, she said, but a backup school was not even on her mind. “I’ve had my heart set on CCA since the sixth grade,” said Avery, who has been performing since she was a toddler. “I wasn’t even thinking about if I didn’t get into the lottery; I was going to come to CCA. I did not care what it took. Theater was my first priority. Every year it’s just opportunity after opportunity. I’m so grateful every day to be in this program.” Footloose runs in CCA’s Envision Theatre — 5951 E. Village Center Loop Road in Carmel Valley — on March 17, 24, 25 and April 1 at 7 p.m.; March 18 at 2 p.m.; and March 30 at 4:30 p.m. Ticket prices range between $6 and $15 and are available at http://bit.ly/2nb4jbT.
director’s daughter is a fan. They were at a show and came up afterwards saying they had a part for me. I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah.’ I later found out it was for a scene in House of Cards and jumped at the chance.” Now, Lake Street Dive is comfortable where they are, even if it means most of their time is spent on the road. “It’s very busy right now,” says Price, who is still coming down after a recent gig in Brooklyn, New York, where the band is currently based. “It’s all positive stuff, but it’s definitely hard work. I don’t know if it’s messed up or sadistic of me, but I was actually looking forward to my tour routine because I have it perfected now, which is
funny because there’s no routine when you’re a touring musician. You do something different every day, but you do that so long that doing something different becomes your routine.” Price is especially looking forward to Lake Street Dive’s upcoming gig at the Belly Up. “We’ve played the Belly Up and the Observatory in North Park a couple of times,” remembers Price of past stops in San Diego. “I think the Belly Up is as close to perfect as you can get. The setup of the room, the area. It’s about as good as it gets.” For more information, visit www.lakestreetdive.com and www.bellyup.com.

FROM MEMOIR, B1 tins, cookies covered with sugar crystals like crushed rubies, the beckoning finger of vanilla,” Abu-Jaber wrote. While she didn’t intentionally set out to be a food writer, cooking and eating emerged as a theme in a number of her books, from the novel, “Crescent,” set in a Middle Eastern restaurant in Los Angeles, to her first memoir, “The Language of Baklava,” published in 2005, which focuses on family stories the author was told during her childhood,. Through her writing, Abu-Jaber said, she learned a key fact about herself — “I realized (food) was kind of an obsession of mine and I didn’t know it.” Her father’s cooking, and his willingness to share stories about his family life in Jordan, influenced the writer she became. “Every dish he made was a story,” said Abu-Jaber. As an example, when he made stuffed grape leaves, he would point out that the leaves reminded him of a woman’s hand, which in turn brought up memories of his mother’s kitchen, where as a boy, he would hide out to avoid getting in fights with his older brothers. “They tormented him,” she said. “Dad was always trying to stay out of trouble, so he stayed in the kitchen.” As a novelist, she said, having to stick to the truth in writing a memoir was challenging. But ultimately, she saw that in both genres, it was critical to imbue characters with emotional depth. “What memoirs do share with novel writing is character,” she said. “I feel that’s what saved me. That’s what made it possible to write” her latest book. Her family, however, wasn’t thrilled with the result, she said. Her sisters have different recollections of some of the stories she relates in the book. “Everybody has their own version. We remember stuff differently,” she said. After the book came out, one of her cousins was so offended that she told Abu-Jaber’s aunt that the author was no longer welcome at her table. “I said, ‘I didn’t even write about her,’” Abu-Jaber said. “My aunt said, ‘That’s why.’” When she is not working on a book, Abu-Jaber teaches writing and literature at Portland State University. She and her family split their time between Portland, Oregon, and South Florida. For more information on Abu-Jaber, visit www.dianaabujaber.com

Can My Varicose Veins Affect My Blood Pressure? Some truths about venous hypertension. Statement: I already know my varicose veins can be caused by my elevated blood pressure. The real picture: Sure, elevated blood pressure can be accompanied with varicose veins as a symptom. But elevated blood pressure might not be the cause of everyone getting varicose veins. Very often, varicose
veins are hereditary. They are caused by a weakening of the venous walls. Statement: But only older people or pregnant women can get varicose veins. The reality: While many women do find themselves with varicose veins during pregnancy, and while venous walls do weaken with age, the truth is that anyone can get varicose veins, including men and young people. Varicose veins can occur from standing too often, or from sitting too often, either at work or during traveling. When the venous walls weaken, too much strain from a heavy workout elevates the blood pressure, and the veins and valves have to work very hard to pump the blood from the feet and legs back up to the heart. Conversely, when the body sits for too long, blood can pool in the weakened veins because the body isn’t working hard enough to pump the blood back up to the heart. But again, sitting, standing, and working
out too much in and of themselves don’t automatically cause varicose veins. However, varicose veins are common enough in people that a moderate workout routine and an active lifestyle are good practices for just about everyone. Statement: So, if varicose veins may be caused by elevated blood pressure, that means the reverse can’t be true, that varicose veins don’t affect my blood pressure. Right? The reality: Not so fast. Doctors are still working on learning the full effects that varicose veins have on blood pressure. However, what they do know is that varicose veins can contribute to venous hypertension. When blood pools in the veins in your lower extremities, that puts additional pressure on your heart, which has to then work harder to pump all of that pooled blood back up the body. This is especially dangerous to people who already have an underlying heart condition. That is
why varicose veins are themselves, in fact, considered a medical condition. Statement: I don’t have to worry, then, if I don’t have varicose veins. The reality: Incorrect! Many people suffering venous hypertension have no visible symptoms. This is why regular medical checkups are a must, especially if you have a family history of high blood pressure, hypertension, or heart disease. But since varicose veins are known to have a negative medical effect on the body, apart from being unsightly, it can be worthwhile to get them removed with a simple in-office sclerotherapy treatment.If you have hypertension caused by varicose veins or are ready to consider sclerotherapy to remove your varicose veins, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263. of a much bigger vascular problem, and they are a condition best treated early on.

My wife bought me my dream F150 Lariat FX4 last Wednesday and the experience was great! The entire sales team was fantastic to work with—they were helpful and not pushy. Not only are their locations convenient, but they have the mentality I appreciate for vehicle shopping - low pressure, professional, and knowledgeable on the product. I will refer all of my friends to Mossy.
