High school district talks state funds, Prop AA projects BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board held a budget workshop on March 10, allowing board members to weigh in on their priorities for the upcoming school year. Keeping class sizes low, ensuring campuses are safe and having students fully prepared for the future were high on the board members’ lists. “Our budget workshop is designed to get a sense

of what (the board) is thinking, to put together a 2016-17 budget later this spring that the majority of the board can support,” SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. The budget will continue to be refined in the coming months and will be presented to the board for adjustments in May, with the final budget approved in June.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The public got another opportunity to review revised plans for a proposed multifamily development project near the Del Mar Fairgrounds during the first of two workshops hosted by the developer March 10 at L’Auberge Del Mar. Watermark Del Mar, which would be located on a vacant lot on the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive, includes 48 units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms in one- and two-story buildings, 108 parking spaces in an underground structure, a pool and spa area and a recreation room. Proposed by Watermark DM LP, a partnership between San Dieguito Land Partners, LLC and Kitchell, the project also includes seven affordable units, four of which would be deeded at no cost to a nonprofit benefit corporation selected by the city. “I’ve been in affordable housing for years,” said Mitch Thompson of Thompson Consulting. “I’ve never seen a developer just donate units.” The estimated value of the donation is more than $1.5 million, said Thompson, who has been in the affordable housing, banking and real estate business for 38 years.

Del Mar council recognizes Friends of the Del Mar Library BY KRISTINA HOUCK Aptly named, the Friends of the Del Mar Library has long been one of the Del Mar Library’s closest allies. The Del Mar Library opened its doors more than a century ago in 1914. St. James Catholic Church was also established that same year, just a few blocks away. After the library had been located in several spots, from storefronts to the trailer behind City Hall, and the church had long relocated to Solana Beach, the city bought the building for $1.2 million in 1994 — with support from the community and the Friends of the Del Mar Library. In 1996, Del Mar Library officially debuted its new digs, the historical building where it remains today. From helping the library find a permanent home, to continuing to raise funds for the branch, the Friends of the Del Mar Library has supported the library for decades. Officially becoming a nonprofit in 1982, today the organization continues to fundraise through annual book sales and membership drives. Funds have refurbished the building and refreshed programing. Recognizing the nonprofit’s important place in the community, Del Mar Mayor Sherryl Parks presented the organization with a proclamation during the March 7 City Council meeting. “Donations to the Friends of Del Mar Library enable the library to purchase new library materials and enrich the library’s community programming, which includes
bluegrass and other music concerts, classes and children’s performers,” Parks said. Pat Freeman, board president of the Friends of the Del Mar Library, thanked the city for its support. “We, as the Friends of the Del Mar Library, really appreciate the city of Del Mar in supporting the library,” Freeman said. “The city owns the building, the county runs the library, and the Friends, we just raise money and put it into programs. “But if there’s a leak, who do we call? We call City Works. If something’s fallen down, a tree, we call. We appreciate your response when we do call. You act promptly, so thank you very much.” The Friends of Del Mar Library is the third nonprofit the council has honored since the start of the year. When Parks was appointed mayor, she said she planned to recognize local organizations throughout the year. The council previously presented proclamations to the Del Mar Foundation and Del Mar Community Connections. “The staff and volunteers of the nonprofit organizations in Del Mar are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of community service — donating their time, money and effort to making a difference in the lives of others,” Parks said. “An annual observance provides a unique opportunity for the citizens of Del Mar to join together in appreciation of the many contributions made by nonprofit organizations.” For more about the Friends of the Del Mar Library, visit friendsofdelmarlibrary.org.
No enrollment lottery needed for SDUHSD’s 2016-17 school year
The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) High School Selection window closed on Monday, Feb. 29, and SDUHSD recently announced that no enrollment lottery will be necessary at any of the district’s four high schools for the 2016-17 school year. All eligible students who participated in the SDUHSD High School Selection process will be offered enrollment at their first choice of school. This ensures that each eligible student has the opportunity to attend the high school that is the best fit for each student and family. Each spring SDUHSD conducts a process referred to as High School Selection in
which each incoming high school student is asked to select the high school they would like to attend. In the rare occasions that enrollment demand for a school exceeds available capacity, California law requires a random lottery to determine which students are offered enrollment. For the 2016-17 school year, each high school has sufficient capacity to accommodate enrollment projections developed after the close of the High School Selection process. Thanks to the district’s Prop AA General Obligation Bond building program, SDUHSD will have additional high school enrollment capacity for the 2017-18 school year. — Submitted press release
New program director announced by Del Mar Community Connections The appointment of Joanne Morgenthal as new Program Director of Del Mar Community Connections, effective March 14, was recently announced by Tom McGreal, DMCC president. Morgenthal most recently served as director of a Jewish Community Center day camp in West Orange, New Jersey, where she supervised a staff of 150, and prior to that was director of Manhattan Youth day camp in New York City. “Jo is a proven dynamic leader with strong management skills,” noted McGreal, “and an impressive communicator known
for her warm interaction with employees and clients which translates positively to the mature community we serve.” Morgenthal, who previously served for several years with the Joanne YMCA in San Diego, said Morgenthal that “I am so delighted to be returning to this marvelous area where my dog, my cat and I already feel at home. I look forward to interacting with DMCC’s many and varied constituencies.”

3 arrested in Solana Beach, Train hits pedestrian near Del Mar park Rancho Santa Fe burglaries Three people are in custody following a string of home burglaries in Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department announced March 3. The four burglaries happened between Feb. 17 and 23. Three of the burglaries were interrupted when the victims returned home. No one was hurt and there was no confrontation between the suspects and the victims. Loss in all four thefts is estimated at more than $100,000. The investigation led North Coastal Sheriff’s Station Detectives and the Fugitive Task Force (FTF) to 18-year-old Jonathan Valdez Flores. He was arrested on Feb. 24 on charges of possessing stolen property. On March 2, two more suspects were
arrested in connection with the burglaries. Joe Estrada, 18, and Joshua Gomez, 20, were taken into custody in Encinitas. A search of Estrada’s home in the city of San Diego turned up suspected stolen jewelry from the burglarized homes. Estrada and Gomez are facing charges of residential burglary and possession of stolen property. Both suspects also had outstanding warrants for theft and burglary. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests could follow. Call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 with information and you will remain anonymous. You may be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to a felony arrest. — Submitted press release
BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman suspected of trying to rob a Solana Beach Wells Fargo bank branch March 10 was arrested along with two men in a car in which she attempted to flee. The woman entered the bank at 245 Santa Helena about1:45 p.m. and handed a note to a teller demanding cash, said San Diego sheriff’s Sgt. Colin Ingraham. She did not display a weapon and left the bank after becoming frustrated with tellers who “managed to stall rather than turn over bank funds as demanded in the note,” Ingraham said. A caller directed officers to the location of the suspect, who had walked to a parking lot in the
900 block of Lomas Santa Fe, Ingraham said. The woman got into a black Chevrolet Impala with two men inside. Deputies stopped the vehicle and took the woman, identified as Cheri Marinelli, 28, and a passenger in the Impala, 24-year-old Jonathan Broughton, into custody. The driver of the vehicle, 30-year-old Brandon Johnson, tried to run from the scene but was collared by a responding deputy and an off-duty deputy who happened to be in the area and saw the foot pursuit, Ingraham said. Marinelli, who was wearing a wig as a disguise, and the two men were all booked on suspicion of attempted bank robbery, Ingraham said.
BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A train struck a pedestrian near Powerhouse Park March 11, sending the victim to a hospital. The accident occurred on a stretch of rail off the 100 block of 12th Street in Del Mar shortly after noon, according to sheriff’s officials.
The extent of the unidentified victim’s injuries was unclear, Lt. Russell Shimmin said. At the time, the accident led to a temporary suspension of train service in the area. North County Transit District officials dispatched buses to serve affected travelers.
Man sentenced in drunk driving fatality case BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A man driving drunk when his vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic on Carmel Valley Road, causing a crash that killed a woman in another car, was sentenced March 4 to six years in state
prison. Anthony Perez Rodriguez, 30, pleaded guilty last month to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury in the death of Enid Mayer-Sheaf of Chula Vista.

Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board briefs BY SUZANNE EVANS •Del Mar Mesa board elections will be held Thursday, April 14, from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. before the board’s regular meeting at the Carmel Valley Library on Townsgate Drive.

Historical Society hopes to bring Alvarado House back home BY KRISTINA HOUCK Members of the Del Mar Historical Society have been looking for a new home for the Alvarado House, and are now centering their efforts on the city’s planned civic center. Built in 1885, the Alvarado House was donated to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985 when the new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot home sat for a century. It was moved to the city hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989. Today, the house, which was originally sold for $600, largely remains locked up and unused at the fairgrounds, except when it is open to the public during the annual San Diego County Fair. Members of the Del Mar Historical Society say the historical house deserves to be in a more visible spot and open to the public year round. The structure could serve as a home to the society and store the organization’s collection of Del Mar books, photographs and other historical objects. If located at the planned civic center, where the existing Del Mar TV studio sits, it would also be near the home’s original location. “It would get it back within one block of where the house was built originally in 1885,” said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society, which has collected,
preserved and displayed the city’s historical facts, artifacts and properties since it was founded in 1985. “We would now have a place open 52 weeks of the year, not three weeks of the year, like it is at the fairgrounds.” Del Mar Voices Having the Alvarado House open year-round, would bring to light Del Mar Historical Society’s programs, such as Del Mar Voices, an oral history project the organization’s founder Harold “Swede” Throneson started with an old recorder and cassette tapes. Today, the project is highlighted by the Southwest Oral History Association as a model community oral history project. In fact, the society will be giving a presentation about the project at the association’s annual meeting in October in Long Beach. “It’s a pretty outstanding oral history program,” said Del Mar resident Suzi Resnik, past president of the society and current member who leads the project. Launched in 1995, Del Mar Voices has produced nearly 30 oral histories that are stored in albums in the Del Mar Library and catalogued into the San Diego County Library System. Subjects include former mayors, community leaders and longtime residents. “We’ve interviewed all kinds of people who stood out in Del Mar’s history over the years,” said Resnik, who moved to Del Mar in 1995.
As technology has evolved, so has the program. The Del Mar Historical Society has since digitized its oral histories. It has also broadened the program. The society received a grant from the Del Mar Foundation two years ago to record group oral histories of 10 volunteer organizations in Del Mar. The society has since produced oral histories on the Del Mar Foundation, Del Mar Community Connections, Friends of the Del Mar Library, Friends of the Powerhouse, and working on others. The society also recently collaborated with the Del Mar TV Foundation and produced a televised group discussion of its history. “I always refer to Del Mar Voices as the memory keepers of Del Mar, but we are also a forum for roundtable discussions,” Resnik said. If the Alvarado House is relocated to the site of the new civic center, Resnik said the centralized location would enable the society to more easily outreach to capture more Del Mar Voices. The Del Mar Historical Society could also outreach to local schools and get students involved. “We want to make history come alive,” Resnik said. “We love the idea of having a presence in the central part of Del Mar. We’ve been agonizing over only having the Alvarado House open during the fair and having it in a more remote setting than in the heart of Del Mar.”

Santa Fe Christian student named National Merit Scholarship finalist Competing with more than 1.5 million students, Santa Fe Christian (SFC) senior Miles Matey was recently named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. In addition to his outstanding academics, Miles has competed on SFC’s academic, basketball, and varsity math team. Miles came to SFC as a freshman from the public school system. “I was a terrible writer until I came to SFC. My SFC teachers helped me substantially improve my critical reading and writing skills so I was able to do well on those sections of the test,” recalls Miles. “Mr. Maxon’s Advanced Theory and Proof class was instrumental in my receiving a perfect
score on the math section of the PSAT.” In order to qualify, Miles entered the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) in his junior year. Due to his high score on the PSAT, Miles was selected as a semifinalist representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors. Next year, Miles will attend the University of Oklahoma on a merit scholarship that includes benefits such as full tuition, room and board, and a computer. He plans to major in finance and go on to attend law school.

CV student coughs up win in spelling bee with ‘phlegm’ BY MAUREEN MAGEE Ella Peters of Notre Dame Academy in Carmel Valley beat 102 competitors March 15 to become champion of the 47th Annual San Diego Union-Tribune Countywide Spelling Bee. The seventh-grader’s final victorious word was “phlegm.” Following the four-hour spelldown at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park, Ella received a trophy, a new dictionary and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to National Harbor, Md., where she will represent San Diego County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in May. The second-place finisher was Jeremiah Saguin, a seventh-grader who attends Calavera Hills Middle School in Carlsbad. The county spelling bee is among the region’s oldest and most beloved academic competitions, one of the few education events that remains relatively unchanged by technology. Longtime Bee Master David Hay quizzed the competitors, drawing increasingly difficult words from two preapproved and closely guarded books of 500 words each. The contest proved to be suspenseful as seventh- and eighth-graders spelled and
EDUARDO CONTRERAS / SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
Countywide Spelling Bee winner Ella Peters celebrates after spelling the word "phlegm" at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park on March 15. misspelled words with humor, drama and, at times, sheer disbelief. After 35 years, this was Hay’s
last bee. Hay, who teaches Shakespeare and dramatic literature at the University of San Diego, is known for careful and
often dramatic annunciations, and at times whimsical interactions with spellers. An attentive audience of family
members, educators and other supporters cheered and gasped with every turn of victory and defeat. The competitors took turns standing onstage in front of a microphone to receive their words from Hay. Some demonstrated their own personal styles and techniques while spelling under pressure. They closed their eyes to concentrate, asked for definitions, sought alternate pronunciations, used their fingers to “write out” each word on their palm. San Diego County has produced spelling bee champions over the years. The local winner in 2012, Francis Parker School student Snigdha Nandipati, won the national championship. In 2005, Anurag Kashyap, a student from Poway, captured the top prize at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The countywide spelling bee is headlined by The San Diego Union-Tribune, along with the San Diego County Credit Union, the San Diego County Office of Education, ABC 10News, San Diego Hall of Champions and Southwest Airlines.

Local residents to chair 53rd Anniversary Planned Parenthood event ‘Fearless Voices’ dinner to be held March 30
BY KAREN BILLING Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest will hold its 53rd Anniversary Dinner on Wednesday, March 30, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. The “Fearless Voices” event will celebrate reproductive health advocates and supporters, and help raise funds for the safe, affordable and quality care that Planned Parenthood provides. “Now, more than ever, is the time to proclaim our solidarity with Planned Parenthood,” said local resident Rosette Garcia, chair of this year’s event with her husband Dan Kisner. “We are enthusiastic about celebrating the undaunted spirit of Planned Parenthood at the Anniversary Dinner, and uniting with other fearless voices in a chorus of support for this organization that provides vital reproductive health care services to thousands of people in our region, provides fact-based sex education and advocates for these rights for all.” Garcia and Kisner are very excited about the guest speakers they were fortunate enough to get for the March 30 event — they said both promise to be incredibly inspiring and educational. Guest speaker Carole Joffe, Ph.D., a professor at UC San Francisco’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, will speak about the resilience of Planned Parenthood in the face of great challenges.

Parker was recently featured in the Sundance Film Festival’s award-winning documentary “Trapped,” which details the struggle Parker

and other abortion providers in the South endure. Parker will also be presented with the first annual Fearless Voice Award. “We’re giving it to him because of his unwavering commitment to women’s reproductive rights,” Garcia said. “He is working to make sure women get the care they want, need and deserve to get.” Parker is currently a plantiff in the lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the Texas law that reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state. “This is a person who takes a risk every day he goes to work, he is an outspoken advocate for women, ” Kisner said. “We live in a much more favorable environment, he lives in possibly the most hostile environment in the country and he talks eloquently about it.” Garcia and Kisner have been married almost 31 years and moved to San Diego in 1991. Kisner is an internist and medical oncologist with a long career in the development of new pharmaceuticals to treat human disease. He is currently a consultant to the biotechnology industry and, in that capacity, sits on four public biotech company boards. Garcia is devoted to causes that benefit woman and children. She has worked with the San Diego Women’s Foundation, served as a trustee on the Cardiff School District board, and currently serves on the philanthropy committee at Planned Parenthood. “As a feminist, I’ve always believed in reproductive rights and

reproductive justice,” she said. The couple became active supporters of Planned Parenthood over a decade ago when anti-abortion activists infiltrated their Unitarian Universalist church to disrupt the talk of the invited guest, then-CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, Mark Salo. The local chapter of Planned Parenthood of Pacific Southwest serves San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties with 19 clinics across the three counties. The chapter served about 140,000 women, men and teens last year — one in three households in San Diego County has a current or former patient of Planned Parenthood. “We provide under-served communities access to birth control, STD (sexually transmitted diseases) tests and treatments, cervical cancer screenings and breast exams, rapid HIV testing, emergency contraception and abortion services,” said Cita Walsh, vice president of marketing and communications. “We rely heavily on donations to support what we do every day and to expand into more underserved areas. That’s why it’s so critical for Planned Parenthood to reach out to the community to find people to support us with their voices, their time or their money.” As a physician, Kisner feels that the “life-saving” cancer screenings, as well as the STD screenings are some of the most important services that they offer. He worries about Planned Parenthood clinics coming under fire and being forced to close and the potential of women losing access to all the SEE PARENTHOOD, A22

White House Science Adviser visits UC Institute John Holdren weighs in on his heavy duties BY WALTER MEYER “Dr. Holdren has about 15 positions, but only one paycheck,” said Tai Ming Cheung, as he introduced the director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy for a lecture Feb. 29 at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. John Holdren’s talk, “Science, Technology and Innovation: The View from the White House Science Adviser,” was the fifth annual Herb York Memorial Lecture. Cheung, the director of the IGCC, listed the incredible number of committees that Holdren chairs and co-chairs, and the range of sciences both theoretical and applied that fall under his purview and joked, “We only got him here because it’s a leap year and his assistants forgot to book him for this day.” The list of Holdren’s responsibilities would be daunting enough just by their number, but their importance is equally impressive. His team looks at weapons of mass destruction, cyber security threats that could paralyze the country, mining genomes to study diseases and researching how to deflect asteroids that could wipe out life on Earth. He said they are asking, “Are we smarter than the dinosaurs?” who failed to do anything about the rock that killed them.
ERIK JEPSEN/UCSD PUBLICATIONS
John Holdren has degrees from MIT and Stanford and has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy. He was an adviser to President Clinton on science issues and taught at Harvard prior to joining President Obama’s science team. And he added President Obama has told him, “We need to better understand space weather” because solar storms and other events outside Earth’s atmosphere could disrupt communications and more on the planet.
He hit the ground running
Holdren said that he was not aware of

the range of responsibilities he had and learned about more of them on a daily basis. Shortly after taking the job in 2009 at the beginning of Obama’s first term, Holdren learned that the head of NASA reports directly to him and through him to the president. He goes from meeting to meeting on high-level, complicated topics where it would be impossible to not do his homework and try to bluff his
way through discussions with some of the smartest people in the world. It was apparent that Holdren respects the president and in reference to Obama’s keen interest in science, he quoted from his first inaugural address, “We will restore science to its rightful place.” Holdren is also on the President’s Science Advisory Committee and from the number of reports the president has requested, it is apparent that Obama respects Holdren and that team as well, “unlike President Nixon who fired his science advisers for giving him reports he didn’t like.” Holdren said he has been privileged to be director of the largest team ever in their roles — 135 members — three times the number under President Bush and twice as many as at the previous peak under President Clinton. Holdren said Obama “has talked more about science than any other president,” including welcoming science fairs and student mathletes to the Oval Office.
Global warming and climate change
Although Holdren said he was supposed to avoid discussing politics, it was clearly difficult for him to refrain, especially when discussing the resistance he meets with many elected officials when discussing global warming. He said he was “having trouble with certain SEE HOLDREN, A19

TVIA SD-3 volunteers help support Last Chance at Life Rescue
Teen Volunteers in Action (TVIA) exposes young men to the world of philanthropic and charitable giving through a structured commitment to volunteerism. The TVIA SD-3 chapter recently volunteered at Last Chance at Life Rescue, an all-breed rescue and adoption organization, with a special fondness for Boxers, birds, and ANY pet in need of medical care. The TVIA SD-3 teens donated blankets and bedding and organized and cleaned the facility. Shawna Tellez, Lead Day chair, has been volunteering with the center as a day chair for years, and the center holds a special place in her heart. Last Chance at Life originally started as a small, private rescue called “Boxers N Birds Animal Rescue,” which has been around for many years. Animal rescues come from local shelters and humane societies, owners who can no longer properly care for them, and through animal rescue groups. Most often these animals are facing euthanasia because of medical or behavioral needs. Because of this, it is truly their “Last Chance at Life.” All pets receive the very best in medical care from the doctors and staff at Mission Animal and Bird Hospital. The entire team is very committed to offering the utmost specialized care to the pets in need. Consider adopting or donating to insure pets receive proper medical care, food and supplies while at the shelter.

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL
Campisano’s cherished time with Falcons winding down Record-setting star at Torrey Pines High reflects on last four years
ANNA SCIPIONE
Sierra Campisano in action on the court.
BY ROB LEDONNE Torrey Pines High School basketball star Sierra Campisano is relaxing at her home in Carmel Valley and reflecting on an incredible past four years as an integral and record-breaking part of the Falcon sports scene. “It’s certainly bittersweet to be leaving,” Campisano notes, who’s graduating Torrey Pines this spring and is about to join the ranks of Oregon State. “It’s a huge honor.” Campisano is unlike any other player in the long history of Torrey Pines athletics. Despite missing the majority of her freshman season, she has scored over 2,500 points to date on the court. That number means out of every student athlete who’s played at Torrey Pines, counting both boys and girls, she’s the school’s highest scoring player ever. The distinction has lead ESPN to rank her the 14th best girls player in the United States, and fifth best in her position as a forward. “There are so many talented basketball players, so the fact that ESPN thinks I should be ranked that high is an honor,” Campisano says of her accolades. “Instead of putting pressure on me, I find it inspiring. It motivates me and makes me want to live up to that. I want to keep improving.” A strident fan of basketball since she was young, Campisano points to an ultra-competitiveness that gives her a distinct edge. “Growing up, our family board games
with my brothers were pretty bad,” she says, chuckling. “We’d get so competitive and end up crying or throwing the board across the room. It was funny. I’m the most competitive person you’ll ever meet, I don’t like to lose, ever. In basketball and in everything, I’m motivated to work as hard as I can.” Couple that voracious thirst with a life-goal that developed during Campisano’s childhood when she’d visit the school’s Carmel Valley campus with her father, Gino, a Torrey Pines math teacher since 1994. ”I grew up on that campus,” she says, looking back. “I couldn’t wait to go to there my entire childhood life.” The young athlete soon got her wish, but things quickly took a left turn during what was becoming a promising freshman season. That Christmas, her appendix burst. Resulting infections not only almost derailed her athletic career, but Campisano nearly died, dropping 30 pounds from her already slim body and was in and out of surgery for weeks. By the time she began recovering, even a slow jog was a chore. However, Campisano soon bounced back in a big way. “Playing for Torrey Pines in that Falcons uniform is my favorite thing,” she says now. “Being a part of the community, which is so close-knit… It’s been very important to me the last few years to be able to play for this school.” During Campisano’s time as a Falcon she’s
received a seemingly never-ending list of accolades. Just last month, the Girls Basketball team became Palomar League Champions and she was voted “Player of the Year.” On March 9, during Campisano’s last game as a Falcon, she scored a whopping 30 points. “Last year we graduated eight seniors, so a lot of people weren’t sure what we were going to get into this season,” she says. “We’ve wound up doing so well; everyone worked together and I’m just really proud of this squad of girls.” Now, Campisano has set her sights on Oregon State, a Division I school in the process of rebuilding its basketball team that recently hired a buzzy mix of talent — from players such as Campisano to staff — in the hopes of making an impact. “When they were staffing up, they handpicked the best coaching talent from different programs across the nation,” she says of her future school’s team. “I felt very at home at Oregon during my visits and I know they have all the resources at hand to become a history-making program. I really wanted to be a part of that.” It’s yet another realization of a goal that the star player earned by a combination of sheer talent, determination, and hard work. Says Campisano, “When I was 6 years old, people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grow up and I’d say that I’d want to to be a Division I basketball player.”

F
or readers of this newspaper, no local race on the June 7 ballot is more important than the contest to fill the seat of termed-out San Diego Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. The First District includes Carmel Valley and Del Mar Hills, Heights, and Terrace, three neighborhoods that are part of San Diego for voting and taxation purposes but get mail at Del Mar 92014. La Jolla also is part of the district. Democrats outnumber Republicans 35 to 30 percent, with independents at 31. Lightner, a Democrat, became
council president with the support of the four Republicans on the council. If Lightner is replaced by a Republican, the current 5-4 Democratic advantage becomes a 5-4 Republican advantage. The importance of the San Diego council to our North County quality of life was driven home by the recent and ongoing controversy over the One Paseo shopping center, plus apartments proposed for Del Mar Heights Road east of Interstate 5. Despite resistance from Lightner and Marti Emerald, the council voted 7-2 to approve the proposal.
All the Republicans on the council supported the project. When a grassroots citizens’ initiative would have forced the matter to a public vote, the council rescinded its approval and supported negotiations aimed at producing a scaled-down proposal. That process continues and, in time, will produce a smaller (but some contend still too large) project – which finally will go back to the San Diego City Council for approval. When Democrat Joe La Cava left the First District race, it appeared that Republican Ray
Ellis could win the seat in the primary against the remaining Democrat, Barbara Bry. Ellis ran first in the 2012 primary, but failed to get a majority only because two other candidates (Dennis Ridz and Brian Pease) divided the vote. Three last-minute entries in the 2016 race may again prevent Ellis from winning in June. Bruce Lightner, Sherri’s husband, is a registered Republican who says he would continue his wife’s work. Sherri Lightner staffer Kyle Heiskala has joined the race as an independent. A fifth candidate, Democrat Louis Rodolico, is a retired architect. Every vote that does not go to Ellis increases the chance that Bry will make it into the November run-off, where the higher voter turnout of a presidential election may give her the edge. ■ Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

OUR READERS WRITE Water stupidity In reference to the March 10 press release that appeared in this newspaper titled “SFID customers asked to curtail water use as temperatures soar.” There is now a surplus of water in the county, and there never was a shortage of supply, despite several years of lower than average Sierra snow and rain. Please see these references: sandiegouniontribune.com/news/ 2015/jul/20/sdnedc-water-supply-summitdrought/ and then: .voiceofsandiego.org/topics/government/ 4-reasons-city-water-bills-are-soaring/? San Diego County has a surplus of water. There is no reason based in the reality of water supplies to have any restrictions in place. You can control your use by choosing when to turn on the tap, hence conserving, or not, as you decide what is right for your lifestyle and values. You can thank the state government for paying higher rates than at least our retail district (O.M.W.D.) would have
charged us, in response to the state’s illegitimate “emergency” declaration of April 2015. There never was any shortage, hence any emergency, in this county. Unless you enjoy your freedom being abused, and your costs being unreasonably increased, write your political representatives to urge them to remove all water restriction regulations for San Diego County. If facts matter, see this web site: http://www.watersandiego.org Bill Stoops, Solana Beach
Taking the wrong road The Watermark project must be put to the voters’ approval. There is an all out effort by the city to push this project through permitting. There will be the presentation to the Planning Commission, after which public workshops will be scheduled. The obvious purpose is to validate and finalize their development for final
approval. Their course is set. However, no amount of presentation or workshops will change the fact that rezoning this parcel violates all existing density and zoning regulations. It is also in direct contradiction of every item listed in the objectives and policies outlined in our Community Plan. Citizens of Del Mar still remember their labor and utmost dedication in formulating and approving the Community Plan. A direction that outlined the future planning course for the city, and that ultimately served as the standard of excellence against which all future decisions and actions of the city was to be measured, preserving the quality of our livable village. Are we going to sacrifice all that? It appears that the council is taking Del Mar down the wrong road by promoting the Watermark project. This will be precedent setting. We demand a vote!

Holdren demonstrated knowledge of things from the 92-million-mile view down to knowing specific figures about California’s water crisis. Unlike some scientists who may know their subject very well, but fail to communicate it in terms the average person can grasp, he made even complex topics comprehensible and kept the audience engaged — even laughing at times. Holdren has degrees from MIT and Stanford and has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy. He was an adviser to President Clinton on science issues and taught at Harvard prior to joining President Obama’s science team. Rachel York, whose father was a

The annual lectures are free and open to the public and were named and funded in the memory of Dr. Herbert F. York, IGCC's founding director, who was also the first chancellor of UCSD. Most of the audience members were UCSD faculty and older local residents with few students in attendance.
FROM WATERMARK VOTE, A1 residents opposed to the project argue that it contains too many units, lacks community character and violates existing height restrictions and setbacks. Among other concerns, opponents argue that the project would also negatively impact traffic, noise, pollution and views. “We are going to cause this to go to a public vote,” Wiesel said. “The only chance we have for representation, to be heard and have a say on this, is a vote. Since the city is not going to do it, because they have their own agenda. We have ours, too, it’s called democracy.” The 2.3-acre lot is currently used for parking during special events at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The city approved a commercial project known as the Riverview Office Complex for the site in 2008, but the owner decided not to pursue the project. In 2013, the developer publicly unveiled plans for Watermark. It was originally slated to include 54 units, but the developer recently released revised plans. “We’ve tried to create a project that would fit into the community seamlessly and add some beauty to the entry of Del Mar,” said developer Tony Cassolato, of San Dieguito Land Partners LLC at a March 10 workshop. “Right now, there’s an office project approved,” he added. “If people want us to build it, I guess we’ll build it. But I think this is softer. The whole surrounding neighborhood is residential. This is a great fit for that area.” A total of 21 people attended the workshop, where the developer said most of the feedback was positive. There were some attendees against the project, however. Resident Beth Westburg, who has lived in Del Mar since 1999, said she could support a much smaller residential project. “I just think the scale is too big,” she said. “They’re just building as big as the piece of property is.” There are many others that oppose the plan. As of March 15, 123 people have signed an online petition asking the City Council to put the Watermark specific plan on the November 2016 ballot. “Direct democracy, I think, is always better than

representative democracy,” said Roger Arnold, who has lived in Del Mar for four years. “Direct democracy would be putting this up to a vote. There are a lot of people that do not want that project there. They do not think it’s the best thing for the community.” Because the land is currently zoned for commercial use, the lot would have to be rezoned as residential to move the project forward. A number of other changes and permits would also have to be approved by the city and California Coastal Commission. To streamline the process, the council voted in July 2014 to allow the developer to use a specific plan. The specific plan process sets a special set of development standards for a specific geographical area, creates a land use designation and zone for the property and requires opportunities for community participation throughout the process. “Zoning laws are designed to maintain consistency and equality of value persistent within the whole community,” said Wiesel, president of a community group called Del Mar Hillside Community Association. “They’re going to change our zoning laws. They’re going to make this whole area look like not Del Mar and we do not want to give Del Mar up for this. We’re going to fight against it.” Although Wiesel and others have asked the council to place the plan on the ballot through the online petition, he said his group is also working with attorneys to draft an initiative for the ballot that would require voter approval for major changes to planning policy documents. He compared it to the controversial Proposition A, which voters passed in Encinitas in 2013. To get the initiative on the ballot, the group will need to gather the required number of signatures — 10 percent of registered Del Mar voters. “There is a trend,” Wiesel said. “People are taking back their power because they’re not being heard when their City Councils are getting involved with developers.” Wiesel said he anticipates the council will try to approve the plan prior to the November election. If that happens, he said he will work to collect the required number of signatures for a referendum, similar to grassroots efforts by residents in Carlsbad’s recently defeated Measure A. “They believe they can rubber stamp this thing through,”

he said. “Residents have rights. We should be heard.” Wiesel claims that the city and Watermark developers “seem like one and the same.” During the recent workshop, which was hosted by the developer at L’Auberge Del Mar, Cassolato did say that the city approached him and requested such a project. “The city came to us and said, ‘We need a higher-density product and we need affordable units,’” Cassolato said. Matt Bator, a senior planner with the city, said he was assigned the project after it was attached to a specific plan, so he could not confirm whether or not Cassolato’s statement was correct. “I don’t know if that ever happened or not,” he said. Watermark includes seven affordable units, four of which would be deeded at no cost to a nonprofit benefit corporation selected by the city. The affordable units would help the city meet the state-approved requirements of its housing element. “I was very disheartened to learn from the developer that the city approached him when he was purchasing the property, and said, ‘We want you to do the specific plan and work with us with affordable housing,” Westburg said. “The city is behind all this.” “The city is very, very attached to Watermark,” Wiesel said. “Most people feel like the train has left the station.” Cassolato said he heard about the online petition, but he’s not concerned about the project. “I think it’s a great project,” Cassolato said at the workshop. “I’m not that worried about it. It is what it is.” Cassolato encouraged community members with concerns to call the development team and set up meetings to learn more about the project. He said the team has already had about 100 meetings with individuals. “The same people that are doing that aren’t willing to sit down and understand the project,” he added. “I invite you to come in. Let’s talk abut it. Let’s figure out how to make it better, if you think you can.” Core members of Del Mar Hillside Community Association have funded the group’s efforts so far, Wiesel said. “We need representation and it doesn’t come cheap,” he said.

www.delmartimes.net FROM SCHOOL FUNDS, A1 LCFF is based on average daily attendance and demographics — the district receives a base grant and a supplemental grant to serve English language learners, foster children and students eligible for free and reduced lunch. As Dill noted, the base grant can be used for all students but the supplemental grant must be used to improve achievement among low income and English-language learners. All school districts are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which outlines how the district will spend allocated revenue from the state, focusing on the state’s priorities. This year the district will receive $100 million from the state. The district’s target revenue is $106 million, which represents a $3.5 million gap between the target and what the state will allocate. At the workshop, Dill went over the budget themes for 2016-17 based on input received from board members and staff on how best to use its funds. Priorities included keeping class sizes low, increasing counselors, additional bell schedules and elective options at La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines, reducing athletic transportation costs, increasing district-funded coaches, more support for the arts and enhanced campus supervision and security measures. “In terms of class sizes, counselors and bell schedules, we made a commitment to do that,” Schmitt said, noting that they are allocating extra dollars “above and beyond” the regular allocation to add counselors and maintain low class sizes. Associate Superintendent Michael Grove said last year the district added six counselors district-wide in its attempt to decrease the student-to-counselor ratio. The district has about 8,000 high school students, which results in a ratio of 441 to one for counselors at the high school level. “That’s still too much,” SDUHSD Trustee Mo Muir said, noting that, at most, the ratio should be 200 to one in order to be effective. Muir has long advocated for more counselors at the high school level and the fact that more counselors were not reflected in last year’s budget was one of the reasons she voted against it. SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said she appreciated the district easing more counselors in as the budget allowed — she said expanding the number of counselors and having lower ratios is something that has been important to her for a long time. Muir also made a recommendation that the district fund a SAT-prep class to raise college readiness instead of having students go outside school and pay for private tutoring. Grove said they could certainly offer an elective class if there was parent and student interest, however, prep classes are becoming less relevant with the new tests. “The new SAT and ACT are designed for students to critically think, analytically write and problem solve,” Schmitt said. “It’s less coachable and they’re proud of that.” “They’ve publicly stated that they want to put the test prep schools out of business,” Grove echoed. Schmitt said the old curriculum didn’t point students to the ACT and SAT but that is not the case anymore — what students are learning every day in English and math classes are preparing them for the tests.
NORTH COAST - MARCH 17, 2016 - PAGE A21
SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer noted that the district does pay for students to take the PSAT. “Our kids did spectacularly on the new PSAT in the fall, better than anyone else in the county, over and above success that they used to have on the PSAT and we’ve never had more National Merit finalists,” Schmitt said. If there is interest, Muir said she would still like to see a test prep class offered, as it is in districts such as the Sweetwater Union High School District. “This is something that could reach all the kids and create academic parity,” Muir said. On the topic of security, SDUHSD Board Member John Salazar suggested increasing campus supervision, adding an extra pair of eyes on a golf cart. He said he also felt that adding security cameras would be a good use of funds to help prevent certain behaviors from occurring on school campuses. On the suggestion for more district-funded coaches, Dill said at the high school level there are 344 coaches and the district pays for 182 of them, a total of $1.4 million out of the general fund. The cost for the remainder of coaches comes from funds raised by parent foundations and boosters. “Our kids and families have a high expectation for the quality of our programs, we have to find a balance of what is reasonable,” Grove said. At the workshop, Dill also went over facilities goals and potential improvements. The district has issued $277 million in Prop AA funds since 2013 and is preparing for its next bond issuance of $62 million this summer. The next issuance will be similar to the last two bond draws, with 25-year terms, no capital appreciation bond and holding within the tax rate of $25 per $100,0000 assessed value. The $62 million bond draw will include projects such as a new classroom building at Canyon Crest Academy, the long-awaited performing arts center at Torrey Pines, upgraded science classrooms at Oak Crest and Diegueno Middle Schools, and a second classroom building at Pacific Trails Middle to handle potential increased enrollment. The district is also considering several projects that can be funded by Community Facilities Districts (CFDs). Dill said developments since 2008 have created the capacity for $18.3 million in new bonds that can be called in 2018 if the interest rates are favorable. Potential CFD-funded projects would include improved circulation at Torrey Pines, field lighting at Canyon Crest, field renovation at Carmel Valley Middle School and solar projects at Earl Warren, Diegueno and Oak Crest. Each site has also requested smaller facilities projects for 2016-17; items such as replacement furniture, new shade structures and upgrades for sports facilities like baseball field netting and tennis court improvements. Dill said those projects can be funded through the general fund, developer fees and facilities use revenue. Dill said the district could be in line for more potential revenue due to the Public Education Facilities Bond Initiative, which is eligible for the November ballot. The measure would authorize the issuance and sale of $9 billion in bonds for California schools. Dill said if the state bond passes, the district could gain an additional $35 million for school projects.

FROM WATERMARK FEEDBACK, A1 The affordable units would be available to individuals and families with annual incomes between $46,250 and $91,100. The rental range for the units would be from $1,594 to $2,278. “It adds a housing opportunity for all ages,” said developer Tony Cassolato, of San Dieguito Land Partners LLC. The affordable units would help the city meet the state-approved requirements of its housing element. In fact, Cassolato said the city approached him and requested a project like Watermark. “The city came to us and said, ‘We need a higher-density product and we need affordable units,’” said Cassolato, an Encinitas resident who also owns property in Del Mar. “So they came to us and said, ‘Would you do this, and would you supply some affordable units?’ So we are doing what they’ve asked. And we’re kind of doing a little beyond that with giving them four.” Matt Bator, a senior planner with the city, said he was assigned the project after it was attached to a specific plan, so he could not confirm whether or not Cassolato’s statement was correct. “I don’t know if that ever happened or not,” he said. The city approved a commercial project known as the Riverview Office Complex for the site in 2008 but the owner decided not to pursue the project.

Mary Jane Bennett
December 22, 1924 - December 23, 2015 Del Mar — Mary Jane Bennett, 91, died peacefully December 23, 2015, the day after her 91st birthday, from a recent illness and complications due to her alzheimer’s disease. Mary Jane, fondly known as M.J., was the only child of Frank Mather Schmidt and Helen June (Salisbury) Schmidt. She was born December 22, 1924, in Fresno, Ca, and was a fourth generation Californian. as a child, she moved to Taft, TX, and then returned to Ca where her father set up his General Medicine practices. She graduated from University High School and attended Santa Monica College. Her favorite memories as a child were summer vacations in Healdsburg (her father’s home town), Yountville, Saint Helena and living in Taft, TX. Mary Jane met her first husband, richard Ulery, during World War II, writing him letters and sending care package while stationed in alaska. They married in January 1945, and moved to Minnesota for medical school at John Hopkins; completing his postgraduate training
in Orthopedics at Mayo Clinic. Their three children, Karen, richard and Sandra were all born in Minnesota. after medical school, Mary Jane was thrilled to return to the warm weather in Ca, setting up residence in Pacific Palisades and eventually in Brentwood (los angeles). Mary Jane enjoyed sewing, cooking, decorating, gardening, tennis, bridge, traveling and Sees candy. She loved her family, people and giving to her community through involvement in philanthropic organizations. She was a member of Santa Monica Charity league, Santa Monica assistance league, National Charity league, los angeles arCS
Foundation and Docent at the los angeles art Museum. She divorced after 34 years of marriage. She decided to return to college and received her degree in Public relations from UCla. This provided an avenue for her to work with her favorite, Sees candy, introducing their product at public events. Mary Jane married Captain Keith Bennett in 1982 and retired to Del Mar, Ca. They enjoyed their 27 years living on the lomas Santa Fe Golf course. She loved entertaining and her special group of friends. She was a founding member of North San Diego assistance league, a member of the San Diego Chapter of arCS Foundation and volunteered at the rancho Santa Fe library. She co-edited a cookbook with Betty Brown Simm for arCS called let’s Do lunch Southern California Style.

positive. “Everybody I’ve talked to loves it,” he said. “We support it,” said resident Jim Benedict, who lives with his wife in the neighborhood adjacent to the project site. “I just think that that end of town is blighted.” “I think it will be great,” said resident Mary Ann Emerson. “It is the entrance to our town,” added her husband Bud Emerson, also in favor of the project. “Plus, we need more affordable housing.” “This will give us a real entry point,” agreed resident Jeff Barnouw. Some attendees, however, spoke against the project and the workshop process. “I thought it was very poorly attended,” said Del Mar resident Beth Westburg, who is opposed to the size of the project. “I think they really have to have more community outreach. I think it’s in their benefit to have people not come, and so I think that’s a part of the problem.” Kristen McDade Byrne, the marketing director, said the workshop was advertised in local papers. An email notice was sent to people on Watermark’s listserv — approximately 140 recipients. The development team also provided notice to the City Council, Planning Commission, Design Review Board and city staff, and mailed notice to members on its interest list. Arnold Wiesel, who lives near the project site, said the workshop was simply an opportunity for the development team to “convince” people to support the project. “Is the first thing that comes to your mind ‘This is the most beautiful, relaxed beach community in the world’ when you look at Watermark?” he asked. “No. You feel like you’re in some really busy city that takes any kind of buildings possible and pushes them all together. There’s no beauty there. There’s no beach community represented there.” Admittedly, Wiesel said he was “emotional,” at the workshop, but he wanted the developer to know he is against the project. “I know I was loud and I know I was aggravated,” Wiesel said. “I’m so tired of hearing there’s no opposition.”
FROM PLANNING, A5 money).” Levitt wondered, “Why can’t the city phase the park, so by the time construction is under way, the money will be available?” City financing representative Charlette Strong Williams listened to the board discuss the 3.7-acre park, designed to act as a head for trails into the surrounding open space preserve. Levitt noted in a 2014 Mesa board meeting that the city planning group “went through two or three levels of meetings and bureaucracy. Park plans had gone to bid, but there was no money.” At one time, there was approximately $2 million available for the project in the city facility assessment benefit fund account for Del Mar Mesa related capital improvements. The city hopes to have a complete FBA plan by July or August. Williams sought the board’s approval on revisions to the FBA plan that she hoped would be complete by then. However, the board did not approve the plan so far, due to unanswered questions regarding fee increases for the park, Little Mcgonigle Canyon Ranch Road (possibly not needed), and scant information on improvements planned for community trails.
FROM PARENTHOOD, A8 services he feels the organization does so well. Last year Planned Parenthood also provided age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health education and information to more than 66,000 people through schools and local community events. “No organization does more than Planned Parenthood to prevent the need for abortion through the birth control services and sex education they provide,” Garcia said. The March 30 event will also be a celebration of the Pacific Southwest affiliate’s accomplishments this year, including new clinics opening in Vista and Imperial County, and the remodel and expansion of its Chula Vista facility.

Garden Club flourishing at Del Mar Heights School Consultant helping program to bloom BY KAREN BILLING he garden at Del Mar Heights School is becoming quite the magical place. On a recent Friday afternoon, it was full of nearly 40 children in the Garden Club, exploring and investigating, digging in the dirt and making signs for the plants. A couple of girls were up in the branches of a small tree picking strawberry guava and a handful were plucking the yellow flowers of the sage plant, as they had learned how to squeeze the blossom and taste honey. While the garden in the corner of the ocean-view playground has always been a special place, it has flourished even more since the school PTA hired Stephanie Murphy as a garden consultant. “She’s been the missing link we needed,” said Amy Chelesnik, the education vice president of the Del Mar Heights PTA. “More than just with garden maintenance but how to get students involved, that’s what she’s great at…She’s been one of the greatest uses of PTA money in my opinion. We’re just thrilled to have her.” Murphy developed her green thumb at a young age, growing fruits, vegetables and flowers with her parents and seven siblings. Recently retired from the corporate life, she now focuses on gardening in both her own garden, works on a farm in Vista and was a board member on for the California Rare Fruit Growers in 2014 and 2015. When Murphy was hired in December, she first tackled a lot of renovation and did a great deal of heavy pruning and planting. The Garden Club just got started in the beginning of the year. “The kids are just so fantastic,” Murphy said. “They’re so willing to do all of the projects I come up with.” The students aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty or to try unfamiliar fruits and veggies that grow in the garden. Chelesnik said Murphy has built such a great rapport with the students that she can’t work in the garden when

Chelesnik said Murphy does all the prep work for teachers, helping to coordinate garden projects with what they are learning in the classroom. In the second grade, a science project had students sprouting sweet potatoes, experimenting with water and soil and what made them grow. Murphy helped the students break off the slips and put them in water and watched the roots grow. The students then planted their roots in the garden in the new

A group of church volunteers come to the school every year as part of the congregation’s community service day. The first grade students planted their sweet potatoes on March 1—the plan is for them to harvest them as second graders just in time for Thanksgiving. The third graders are currently participating in a competition to grow the biggest cabbage through the Bonnie Cabbage Program. Free plants are delivered to schools
across the country and kids take the seeds home to grow cabbage and compete for the chance to win a $1,000 scholarship from Bonnie Plants. Local businesses have also gotten involved with Del Mar Heights’ blooming garden. Through the farm to table program with L’Auberge Del Mar, the students are growing colored carrots and spinach that the chef will use to make a dish for the students. With Snooze in Del Mar Highlands, they will do the same with the garden’s peaches. “Snooze has been very

generous,” Chelesnik said, noting the breakfast eatery donated over $1,000 to the school from its Pancake Day and on Earth Day April 22, a group of volunteers will come out and work in the garden. On Fridays, Murphy hosts the Garden Club and that’s when the garden is really buzzing. “The bell rings and they just run over,” said Chelesnik. The club has learned how to peel and taste gooseberries, which none of the kids had ever done before. They learned about how mint is an invasive species and Murphy SEE GARDEN, B22

Young Del Mar actor to appear in ‘Waiting for Godot’ Play to open March 25 at White Box Live Arts
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jordi Bertran’s character may not have a name, but his latest role has left a lasting impression on and off the stage. The 14-year-old from Del Mar appears as “A Boy,” a small but important part in a close, five-person ensemble cast. Written by Samuel Beckett, the tragicomedy “Waiting for Godot” centers on two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly for the arrival of someone named Godot. “It’s hilarious; it’s heartbreaking,” Jordi said. “You really have the most varied array of emotions in this play. It’s such a complex play, and it’s so fun to watch.” “Waiting for Godot” opens March 25 at White Box Live Arts at NTC at Liberty Station in San Diego. As the only teen in the show, Jordi said he’s learned a lot from the more established actors on stage. “It’s been a life-changing experience,” Jordi said. “There’s four other men and they’ve been working in plays for their entire lives. I love watching their process.” With so much dialogue, Jordi’s been fascinated by how his fellow co-stars memorize their lines. One actor records and listens to the dialogue. Another uses movements as a mnemonic device. “I love learning from them because they have so much experience, but completely diverse experience that I can take completely

Actor Jordi Bertran (center). different lessons from each of them,” Jordi said. Although only a freshman at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad, Jordi is quickly building his own acting portfolio. After all, he started acting when he was in third grade. Jordi landed his first professional role as Boo Who in “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” at The Old Globe Theater. He has since performed in a number of other productions, including William Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale,” also at The Old Globe. Other theater credits include “Les Misérables,” “Frankenstein the Musical,” “13,” “Shrek the Musical” and “Singin’ in the Rain,” among
others. “Acting, for me, is being someone you could never be in real life,” said Jordi, also a dancer and pianist, who currently plays water polo and volleyball at his school. “There’s so many different people that I can’t be — that I’m not — but I can be through acting,” he said. “You can experience so many different emotions and feelings and situations that you never would without acting, without playing it on stage. When you play it on stage, you are that character. You are truly in those situations.” This is Jordi’s first time working with Director Aimee Greenberg, whose company,
fruitlessmoon theatreworks, is producing the play. Greenberg stumbled upon the young actor’s talent when she saw Jordi’s portrayal of Gavroche in “Les Misérables.” After deciding to produce and direct the play, she invited him to read for the part. “I just liked his whole essence and energy,” she said. “I thought it was appropriate for the part.” Greenberg was 13, about the same age as Jordi, when she first read, “Waiting for Godot.” “As a young person enthralled with theater, I immersed myself in every genre of literature,” she said. “You can’t help but stumble across the work of Samuel Beckett.” A longtime fan of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and playwright, Greenberg has taught classes about the play, and directed and performed scenes from the play, but she has never directed a full production of “Waiting for Godot.” “I’ve just always loved the play,” said Greenberg, a native New Yorker, who now lives in San Diego. “It’s comedic and it’s dramatic. I think it has universal appeal. “It makes you think,” she added. “It gets under your skin. You see yourself in the mirror, in this play. It brings the human condition right up to the surface. It’s a beautiful piece of poetry and drama.” “Waiting for Godot” runs March 25 through April 10 at White Box Live Arts, located at 2590 Truxtun Road, Studio 205, San Diego. Free parking is available at NTC at Liberty Station. Tickets are available at http://godot.eventbrite.com.

Locally-owned Danzing Candy wins Grade II San Felipe Stakes BY KELLEY CARLSON Danzing Candy stamped himself as one of the major contenders on this year’s Kentucky Derby trail with a wire-to-wire victory in the $400,000, Grade II San Felipe stakes on Saturday, March 12, at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. He finished 2 lengths in front of the favorite, Mor Spirit, with Exaggerator an additional three-quarters of a length back in third. The time for the 1 1/16-mile race on the dirt was 1:43.04. The 3-year-old Danzing Candy was ridden by Mike Smith, and he is owned by Halo Farms (which includes Ted Aroney of Rancho Santa Fe) and Jim and Diane Bashor of La Jolla. The colt is trained by Cliff Sise, former farm manager/trainer for Jenny Craig when she owned Rancho Paseana in Rancho Santa Fe. Craig also campaigned Danzing Candy’s
sire, Twirling Candy, a major stakes winner at Del Mar several years ago. “We’ll stay for the Santa Anita Derby (April 9),” Sise said. “He’s (Danzing Candy) three-for-three on this track. Why would we change now? I don’t see any reason to, but you never know. You’ve got to leave that up to the owners.” “I won’t make reservations (for the Kentucky Derby on May 7) until the last minute!” Aroney said. “I had Hear the Ghost back in 2013. He won the San Felipe and was the favorite going into the Santa Anita Derby. I made my reservations too early, and then we didn’t run (due to a minor knee injury) and they wouldn’t give me my money back! I made my mind up that I won’t be making any reservations this year!”

Please visit www.CarrytheChallenge.org/TripleF to learn more. Veterans 360’s Carry the Challenge initiative is to engage our most at risk, underserved and vulnerable veterans as they struggle with transition and PTS challenges. After four years on the front lines of PTS and transition support Vets 360 hopes to solicit the support needed to grow the program from regional to a national scale. Groberg is supporting in that effort. Additional speakers are SCPO SEAL Robert Guzzo, who lost his SEAL son Rob to PTS, and Chief Matt Shobert, firefighter who nearly lost his life and purpose to PTS. Veterans 360 Inc, in partnership with Captain Groberg and Hire our Heroes, will provide the skills that today’s high school educated, short-term military service, combat veterans, need to succeed. This combined effort will provide this most at risk, underserved and vulnerable of all veteran demographics with career tools, life skills, resiliency-likeability training, fiscal responsibility education and when and where needed — PTS support and understanding. Groberg feels very strongly that we must aggressively engage these young veterans before crisis and despondency take hold. “Common sense say’s that it will always be easier to guide someone when they are still in a position of strength and control.

‘Rain,’ a new musical, based on old favorite tale
BY DIANA SAENGER “Rain,” initially written by Somerset Maugham as the short story “Miss Thompson” in the 1920s, is the basis for The Old Globe Theatre’s upcoming musical “Rain,” directed by its artistic director Barry Edelstein. The story became a stage play in 1923 and was later developed into several films — the 1928 silent film “Sadie Thompson,” starring Gloria Swanson; “Rain” starring Joan Crawford in the 1932 production; and Rita Hayworth starring in “Miss Sadie Thompson” in the 1953 film. The story begins on an island in Samoa, where a missionary and a doctor and their wives are enjoying life until Sadie Thompson shows up on the island. They are horrified to learn how she makes her living. A ship is quarantined there and the rain begins. Composer and lyricist Michael John LaChiusa (“The Wild Party,” “Giant”) and book writer Sybille Pearson “(Giant”) collaborated on the latest script. LaChiusa said it’s been on his to-do bookshelf for a long time. “It’s a very intriguing story, and I liked it a lot. I thought this was a great story to tell and sing about,” he said. “We have opened up the story a little more and have added other characters.” The problem with the short story is that it’s short on content and plot,” LaChiusa said. We had to invent things to make it theatrical and that’s what my collaborator Sybille Pearson — whom I worked with on “Giant” — has done so effectively. But then we have to give the characters something to think about because it’s a musical. It’s been a challenge for both of us but we live for challenges.”
JIM COX
Eden Espinosa appears as Sadie Thompson and Jared Zirilli as Alfred Davidson in the world premiere musical ‘Rain,’ at The Old Globe Theatre. LaChiusa is very excited that Edelstein is making his directorial debut at The Old Globe with this play. When Edelstein sat listening to LaChiusa playing the music at the piano he admitted that the music transported him, and called it a ‘tour de force.’ “I am very humbled by that comment,” LaChiusa said. “There are so many parallels between the structure of a Shakespeare play and that of a musical. In great Shakespeare plays you have moments of comedy right
before the serious monologues, and juxtaposition of the variety. Barry is well-versed in that and directed many Shakespeare plays, and coming to a musical for the first time is not that far of a stretch. It’s not really about the songs, but how we get from song to song and what happens in between them that makes it a good musical. And he understands that intuitively.” LaChiusa has garnered an Obie Award, Gilman & Gonzalez-Falla Award, and 2008 and
2009 Daytime Emmy Awards in regard to his diverse abilities. Ready for yet another challenge, he agrees this story has a range of dark to light moments requiring just the right music. “I look for pieces that have a variety,” he said. “Having a really dark musical all the way through is not fun. It has to have levity to balance it as you would with a painting or sculpture; they need shadow, light and contrast. “This story allows it; especially in the way Sybille has adapted it. There are wonderfully funny moments and songs, because none of these characters know what inevitably will happen in the story. “However, the piece is about human behavior and how we struggle with our animal tendencies when the cloak is stripped off ... and how we maintain that balance, like we saw in ‘Of Human Bondage,’ and again in ‘Rain.’ It’s necessary for us to bloom and rebuild again. “And it is a job; especially for a composer/ writer to transport a person out of their normal environment, like from the streets of San Diego to Samoa, where it’s raining and there is a prostitute in the hotel next door. “If I can transport the audience and to there for an hour and a half through the music, the songs and the drama, then I’m doing my job as a writer.” ■ IF YOU GO: ‘“Rain,” March 24-May 1, 2016 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

In Step with Traditions: Local resident establishes Chinese Dance Academy BY ASHLEY MACKIN Combining a family history of performing and her culture’s rich native traditions, local resident Qi Zhang has brought the art of Chinese dance to San Diego. She opened a studio in 2012, operating out of the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla, and in 2015, she launched the Chinese Dance Academy of California in Sorrento Valley. “I have a lot of American-born Chinese students, and some other students, including American and Indian students. They all like to learn about different facets of Chinese culture,” Zhang said. “There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each one has a different style and different Qi Zhang movements that reflect their culture in dance. Some are very open in their movements and very dramatic, others are more shy. Some performances are like court dances for royalty and some are inspired by paintings that have survived from ancient dynasties. There are also some that re-create folk stories.” One audience favorite is inspired by a story of a fairy that lives in the moon with a rabbit. Zhang said because of the costumes, different postures, facial expressions, and the dynasties they represent, audiences are “transported back to that era.” “Our dance moves developed from Chinese opera traditions, so the gestures and poses and facial expressions are very different. We tell a story with body movements and our faces.” To come up with the routines, Zhang takes cultural notes from each era and area, to create specific choreographies to teach her

Chinese Dance Academy of California students perform in competition. students. “It’s like with cooking, you take the basic ingredients for a dish, but how it turns out depends on the chef; the taste might be different. We need those ingredients, but can make it our own and add flavor to it.” Something in Zhang’s recipe is seasoned just right, for in just one year, her students have developed into a polished troupe that has been asked to appear at the Poway Center for Performing Arts, and her dancers have taken silver and gold medals in local competitions. Further, Zhang was a co-choreographer in the San Diego Repertory Theater production of “The Oldest Boy.” She is in discussions with San Diego Ballet to create a special piece.
Zhang said she grew up in a performing family near Beijing, China, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance Performance and Education from the Beijing Dance Academy, studying both classical Chinese and modern dance. “I auditioned for a prestigious dance school — one that picks 12 girls and 12 boys from the entire country each year — and I got in,” she said. “I entered a professional
dance school at age 10 that was like a military boarding school. For six years, we trained together, studied together and danced several hours a day. “My father is a classical cellist and my mother is an actress, and they knew the pressure that I was in for (choosing a career in the arts), but I really wanted to be dancer, so I committed to my training.” After graduation, she became a principal dancer in the Beijing Youth Dance Troupe, and traveled the world. In 2003, Zhang decided it was time to pass her knowledge onto others. She started a dance school in Thousand Oaks, just north of Los Angeles; and another one in Irvine in Orange County three years later. “I wanted to be challenged professionally and also follow my passion ... but sometimes life brings you surprises,” she smiled. Soon after the Irvine studio opened, Zhang met her would-be husband and moved to La Jolla to be near him, and the two quickly married. Two years ago, life brought her another surprise. “I was invited to attend the 60th anniversary of the Beijing Dance Academy celebration,” she said. “There were all kinds of traditional dances and performances I got to see, as well as some of my former colleagues and professors, and some of them were still dancing. One of my former professors, Miss Chen, is now in her 80s, and she was still dancing!” The Chinese Dance Academy of California offers classes that range in difficulty, based on age and experience.

Del Mar Hills Students Art & Invention Show
C
reativity and innovation were springing forth at Del Mar Hills Academy of Arts and Sciences at this year’s Art and Invention Show, held March 11. All students, kindergarten through sixth grade, contributed works to display. The showcase featured hundreds of pieces of art, as well as many inventions, that highlighted student learning and skill development. Many works featured the STEAM+ philosophy of integrated learning across multiple subject areas, including painted solar systems depicting different moon phases and handbooks about erosion, brought to life in watercolor. Various media were employed to create drawings, paintings, and three-dimensional sculptures in wood, clay, and paper maché. Students also demonstrated their problem-solving abilities through many original and thought-provoking inventions created to devise solutions to everything from the collection of rainwater to the prevention of malware transmission when using a flash drive on a computer.

Spring Maintenance Tips to Get Your Vehicle Up to 100% ahead of El Niño Every year it’s a good idea to incorporate maintenance on your vehicle as part of your general spring cleaning procedure. Potholes, frost heaves, and cold temperatures can all put your brakes, suspension, tires, and battery to the test. You should always make a point to analyze your vehicle at least once
a year to make sure that it’s running in top condition. Doing so can help you avoid a serious issue or being involved in a San Diego car accident. Use the following tips to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance this spring. No one wants to be caught in the heavy El Niño rains with an improperly maintained vehicle! Tire Pressure Make sure all your tires have been properly inflated and balanced. This little step goes a long way not just towards minimizing the chances of a flat tire, but it can also improve your gas mileage, too. Brakes Anytime the weather dips, it’s a good idea to look at your brake fluid, parking brake, hoses, and lines. Brake pad changes and a total inspection of the brake system can
go a long way towards helping you avoid accidents and serious issues this spring. In heavy rains, you rely on breaks in great shape to help you come to a stop quickly, even on slick surfaces, so don’t skip over this step. Plugs, Wires and Batteries These components of your vehicle have to work extra hard when it’s cold outside. Make sure you replace old or weak wires, plugs and batteries. Anything over three years old should be replaced completely. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Determine any leaks or wear on your shocks and struts before heading out on the road this spring and summer. Fluid Levels Don’t ignore your engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, anti-freeze or windshield
washer fluid. The brake fluid flush can also be beneficial. Engine Filter When you’re getting your oil change, ask that the engineer filter be looked at carefully to determine whether it needs to be replaced. Hoses and Belts If your hoses are cracked, worn, soft, blistered or brittle, you should replace them. Anything over five years should be replaced even if it looks like it’s in relatively good condition. And finally, make sure you turn on those headlights in heavy rain! For additional tips, advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https://seriousaccidents.com/.

Original Deviled Eggs The Delightful Deviled Egg for Easter and Spring
D
eviled eggs have been a favorite on Easter brunch tables for generations. Last Easter I was asked to prepare these divine eggs for a pot luck gathering, and I even bought a fluted pastry tip to add a professional touch to the dish. I gingerly placed the platter on the table, and was soon taken aback when I noticed some of the pretty fluted yolks from a few eggs had been removed, leaving the hard-boiled white halves behind on the platter. Alas, I spotted one of the guests scooping out yet another yolk and discarding the soft white shell. I asked him why he was tinkering with my deviled egg beauties. He explained that he was allergic to egg whites and didn’t want them to go to waste, so removed the yolks, leaving the whites for people who were cholesterol-conscious. I guess you could say, “the devil made him do it.” Here’s a primer on how to get the most out of deviled eggs for Easter and always, including a low cholesterol version.
Full of the Devil
The modern-day deviled egg evolved from the culinary preparations of ancient Rome, where boiled eggs were dialed up with sassy sauces and condiments, including wines and
HOME OF THE WEEK
broths. Food folklorists trace the stuffed egg back to Andalusian cookbooks with recipes for mashing yolks with cilantro and onion juice, then blending with a fermented barley or fish sauce, and filling the egg white indentations. But the British lay a solid claim as any to the “deviled” vernacular referring to the hot and spicy add-ins to hard-boiled yolks, such as cayenne pepper and mustard, creating a fiery little red devil.
The Deviled Dozen
While deviled egg purists prepare a classic blend of yolks with mayonnaise, mustard and seasonings, here’s a dozen adventurous devils to spice up your spring table: 1. Bacon and Eggs: Add crumbled applewood smoked bacon bits to the traditional yolk blend. 2. Green Eggs and Ham: Mash in a ripe avocado with diced ham. 3. The Mediterranean: Blend chopped black olives, heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil or Italian parsley. 4. The French version: Swap out yellow mustard for Dijon, and add chopped chives or chervil (French parsley). 5. The Salsa Devil: Mix chopped cilantro, jalapenos, red onion and Roma

■ Ingredients: 12 eggs, boiled, peeled 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoons spicy mustard Pinch of paprika and more for garnish ■ Method: Cut eggs lengthwise and carefully remove yolks.

The Crustacean Stuffed egg: Combine steamed and chopped shrimp, crab or lobster meat tossed in a piquant cocktail and mayonnaise sauce. 11. The Deli Devil: Add chopped dill pickles with spicy mustard.
12. The Caviar: Pile capers, minced red onion, sour cream and red or black salt-cured fish eggs in the egg indentation.
Hard-Boiling 101
• Eggs like Baby Bear’s porridge have to be boiled just right — long enough so the yolk is fully cooked, but not too long so the white is rubbery with a gray-ringed yolk. • Place a single layer of eggs at the bottom of a saucepan, cover with cold water, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda so the eggs will peel with ease. Bring to a boil, turn off heat and cover. Let sit in the water for about 12 minutes. Rinse and cool. Tap ends of the egg against a hard surface, and peel under cool running water. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to four days. • Cook’s Tip: Fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older ones, so buy a week out before boiling.
FROM GARDEN, B1 showed the kids what it looked like so they could identify it in the garden and dig it out. If the students brought Murphy a plant with full roots, she rewarded them by making mint tea with it. “It’s a little bitter but you can sweeten it up,” one student proclaimed. They will learn how to trim blossoms on apple trees in order to get bigger fruit and second graders are scheduled to make black popcorn when it’s ready to harvest. Across the campus, there is a smaller companion garden, meant for the kindergarten classes. “They just mob this place,” Murphy said. “The chrysalis are a big draw.” The kids know just where to go to find the chrysalis in its planter and Murphy said they love to look at the new caterpillars on the leaves. When the first butterfly hatched they passed it around and named it Pumpkin. “It was precious,” Murphy said. The kindergarteners decorated stepping stones for

Digging in the garden. the space, with rocks. shells, toy cars and LEGOs imbedded in the cement. Murphy said it gives the students a sense of ownership in the garden and at the end of the year they will be able to take their stones home. The kids really love opening up the worm bins in the kindergarten garden. They dig through the compost to find creepy crawlies and take turns holding them in their hands. “They tickle!” one little one giggled. Murphy put some
kindergartners to work one Friday checking for bugs on the giant cabbage plant to see what is eating it. The youngsters searched for the culprit with a magnifying glass. “Ultimately the mission of the PTA isn’t just to make a pretty garden. The mission is to teach kids things they don’t get in a classroom and to reach as many kids as possible,” Chelesnik said. “That’s why Stephanie has been so great. She’s an amazing resource and she’s always looking for ways to get the kids out here.”

Del Mar Family Dentistry’s new facility in Eden Gardens.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new facility.
New dental building opens in Eden Gardens Del Mar Family Dentistry opened its doors for the first time in Solana Beach last month. After 30 years in the same location in Del Mar, Dr. Dale Trudeau has built a modern 3,500-square-foot facility in the heart of Eden Gardens. Many customers of Fidel’s and Tony’s Jacal restaurants saw the structure (which is right next door to Tony’s) being built over the last two years. “We are lucky to have had the opportunity
to build our dream office from the ground up,” said Trudeau. The state-of-the-art office features environmentally-friendly technology, such as all LED electronics, electric car charger, drought-tolerant landscaping and will also be solar powered. The interior features vaulted ceilings, lots of natural light and operable windows for fresh air. For more information, call 858-755-9775 or visit delmarfamilydentistry.com.
