DM adopts Climate Action Plan BY KRISTINA HOUCK Taking action against climate change, the Del Mar City Council on June 6 adopted a plan that aims to cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions in half in less than 20 years. Del Mar’s Climate Action Plan outlines how the city can combat
climate change. It will serve as a comprehensive roadmap, outlining strategies the city could use to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2035. “This is time-sensitive,” Mayor Sherryl Parks said about climate change. “It’s something that is right
here and it needs to be addressed.” The completion of a Climate Action Plan was one of the council’s priorities for fiscal year 2015-16. Adopted in 2006, California Assembly Bill 32 compels the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Subsequent California legislation established

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District’s superintendent search firm was at work last week gathering input from staff as well as parents at two community forums. Community forums were held at Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy on June 2. Leadership Associates was soliciting feedback as to the characteristics and qualities of the district’s next new leader as well as what parents perceive are the district’s strengths and challenges. Those who were unable to attend the forums can take a survey on the district website on sduhsd.net. The survey will close on June 13. Six parents attended the forum at San Dieguito with Leadership Associates’ David Verdugo and Marc Ecker. Verdugo said Leadership went through the same process with SDUHSD three years ago during its superintendent search and at that time came up with the desired characteristics of visibility, approachability, responsiveness to the educational needs of a diverse population and an understanding of academic excellence. Strengths of the district the parents expressed included its excellent teachers, course choice, a big emphasis on high SEE SEARCH, A26
Del Mar city manager Del Mar residents call for public gets pay bump, bonus vote on development projects BY KRISTINA HOUCK Following a favorable performance review from the Del Mar City Council, City Manager Scott Huth on June 6 received a pay bump and bonus. In a 4-0 vote, the council approved a 3 percent base pay increase for the city manager, adding $5,913 to his annual salary, which now totals $203,005. Huth will also receive a 3 percent bonus.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar community members could decide the fate of Watermark Del Mar, a proposed 48-unit multifamily complex, and other sizable development projects that come before the city in the future. A group of citizens opposed to the project submitted a petition to the city on May 18 with more than enough signatures to qualify for a ballot measure in the November election. Championed by Arnold Wiesel, who lives
near the project site on the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive, the proposed measure asks if voter approval should be required before a permit is issued for proposed land developments in any commercial zone that are 25,000 square feet or larger, allow a density bonus or require a specific plan, a zoning code change or an increase of the building height limit, floor area ratio or lot coverage from that of the existing underlying zone.

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District celebrated the last beam being placed atop the new Earl Warren Middle School campus with a Topping Off Ceremony on Tuesday, June 7. The 61-year-old middle school campus was demolished in 2015 and the beachy new school will be ready for students by the 2017-18 school year. The $37.3 million project was funded by Prop AA. Earl Warren teachers and parents, three SDUHSD board members and district staff came out for the ceremony under sunny Solana Beach skies. Principal Adam Camacho and Assistant Principal Kaitlyn Wood were in attendance as well as Marilyn Pugh, who was Earl Warren’s principal from 1991 through 1998. SEE EARL WARREN, A24

Roberts, Gaspar headed to November runoff for supervisor BY JOSHUA STEWART Incumbent county Supervisor Dave Roberts, a Democrat, will face Republican challenger Kristin Gaspar, mayor of Encinitas, in a November runoff election. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, a Republican, was in third place at press time. With 100 percent of precincts counted, Roberts has 39 percent of the vote, to nearly 33.6 percent for Gaspar and 27.3 percent for Abed. Mail and provisional ballots still need to be counted. A former Solana Beach councilman and mayor, Roberts was elected in 2012, the first Democrat to win a seat on the board in 20 years. He secured the endorsements of prominent area elected officials from his party. While in office, he built a reputation as an energetic politician who could be expected to make frequent appearances at ribbon cuttings, farmers’ markets, community announcements and other events to shake hands and chat with constituents. If he couldn’t make it personally, he sent a staff member. Roberts said he thinks he’s leading the pack because voters recognized his work on quality of life issues more than they cared for his opponents’ attempts to use to their
advantage a year-old scandal from his office. “I think that the voters of my district, they’re tired of congestion, they’re tired of people trying to destroy their communities, they really want to have a supervisor who stands up to the special interests,” Roberts said. “They want a clean, healthy environment.” Gaspar was elected to the Encinitas City Council in 2010 and became the city’s first directly elected mayor in 2014. She ran to the left of Abed for the supervisors race and was the last candidate to enter the contest. She secured endorsements from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Lincoln Club, a business-oriented political organization. The groups contributed $115,000 to a committee that spent over $100,000 in support of her campaign. Abed, who was endorsed by the county Republican party, is known as a firebrand conservative who launched local campaigns against illegal immigration (including one that a court determined was unconstitutional). He’s also won favor for fundraising for other Republicans. Roberts’ Third District is the most purple in the county. Republicans have a SEE RUNOFF, A26

It’s never too late to be a great father BY JENNIFER COBURN Dick Kurtik says being a father is hard work, but it’s not rocket science. He should know. The retired chemistry teacher has been married to a veteran of the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab for nearly 20 years. Together, the couple decided to take the plunge into parenting for the first time, serving as foster parents of infants and toddlers through Angels Family Foster Network. The 73-year-old local resident says he had never taken care of an infant on his own until six years ago when his niece asked him to babysit her four-month-old daughter, Lucy, for the day. “My wife was working at the time, and initially I was terrified,” he says with an easy laugh. “I was amazed that I was capable.” He soon found that he was more than just capable, but quite good at it. To his delight, he gained tremendous satisfaction from caring for his grandniece. “We went on walks, I tried to make her laugh, basically, I just gave her love.” Initially it was Kurtik’s wife, Susan, who suggested becoming parents who foster. She researched options and found Angels Foster Family Network to be the best fit for them. “We liked that the organization limited the number children in foster care in a home to one child or sibling set,” so children could receive the focused attention they need. The Kurtiks also felt they were best equipped to provide care for infants and toddlers, which is the age range Angels serves. The couple attended

Local senior Dick Kurtik and his grandniece Lucy. Taking care of Lucy as a baby inspired Dick and his wife Susan to foster infants who need temporary care. an information session at Angels and felt deeply moved by the stories they heard about the infants and toddlers who needed temporary care. They were also surprised to hear about the connection between many of the parents who foster and biological families. These were truly respectful partnerships rather than adversarial relationships, and that had great appeal to the Kurtiks, especially Dick who enjoyed playing a mentorship role during his 33 years teaching at Moorpark Community College in Ventura, Calif. “Fostering goes beyond caring for the baby, it’s caring for the parents too,” he explains. Though reunification with a child’s
biological family is always the goal in foster care, it’s not always possible, as the Kurtiks discovered with their first placement, an infant who spent several months with the couple. The San Diego County Department of Child Welfare, which works in partnership with Angels, realized that reunification was not an option, and the Kurtiks’ placement was adopted by another family. The Kurtiks stay in touch with the little girl and her “forever family” and enjoy frequent visits, which now include their new foster placement, a baby girl who has been with them for nearly two months. “Our family keeps growing!” Dick says. The Kurtiks’ grandniece, Lucy — Dick’s original charge — is now 6 years old and has a 3-year-old brother Enzo, and both are crazy about the most recent addition to the family. “Lucy always wants to hold the baby, and kiss the baby,” he says. “Did I ever think something like this would happen? No. But it’s very rewarding. We just want these children to have the best chance at succeeding in life as they can.” Space may be the final frontier to some. But for Dick Kurtik it’s fatherhood. He plans to celebrate Father’s Day setting up a visit with the baby girl’s biological father, then heading to the park at the beach. “She likes the swing,” he says. “I don’t feel as though I need a special day. We try to get as much as we can from every day we’re together.” For more about Angels Foster Family Network, visit angelsfoster.org.

Author shares humorous parenting experiences in ‘Man With Child’ Q&A BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ or most of us, becoming a parent is a leap of faith – in ourselves and in our ability to nurture and mold a new life. For some of us, the arc of that trajectory is even greater. For almost two decades Marc Kuritz was successfully engaged in the political arena. Then, in one year, he quit his job, became a dad, and began his now-flourishing rare book business. How he juggled as he made this journey is the stuff of the laugh-out-loud new book, “Man With Child.” Meet the author Saturday, June 18, at 2 p.m. at Barnes & Noble Mira Mesa – and Marc Kuritz bring Dad and Dads-to-Be a signed copy for Father’s Day. What inspired you to write Man With Child? Timing, surprise, and good advice. The good advice first. A long time ago, a writing teacher told me: “Write what you know.” That’s what many great authors have done. William Faulkner wrote tales rooted in a fictionalized version of his own Mississippi. Robert Frost wrote poems redolent with the sense of his beloved New England. I wrote about poopy diapers and raising my daughter. Trust me when I say that having my literary aspirations come out this way was a surprise. I started writing one day during my
F
daughter’s pre-pre-school music class. Ms. Jennifer was leading the class in a greeting song. They sang to mommies. Then to grandmas. Then to nannies. Only then, they sang to “Daddy.” Singular. After grandmas. And nannies. That’s when it struck me that my experience might deviate from the norm and I started writing right there in a chair in the back of music class while my daughter merrily thumped away in the drum circle. Is your book primarily for stay at home dads, or more of every dad’s journey? Man With Child is a travelogue. When someone writes a travelogue about a journey to Tibet or Timbuktu, it’s not just for people in Tibet or Timbuktu. There are universal aspects to the human experience, even if the settings vary considerably. One thing I’ve learned as a parent is that none of us are quite as unique as we think – and that’s a good thing. I think parents take some comfort in hearing that other parents have wrestled with some of the same child-rearing problems. So I expect that most parents reading this book might nod their heads and laugh with me at least as much as they laugh at me. What do you see as the primary difference between the mom and dad experience? In most cases – I say most because there is a truly wonderful variety of non-traditional mommy and daddy combinations in our society today– the difference begins with the obvious. Most moms get a nine-month home-field bonding time advantage over dads out of the gate. Our child’s first and

most secure world is mommy’s body where your child hears what mommy hears, eats what mommy eats, goes where mommy goes. Your baby will first open its eyes, hiccup, kick, stretch, yawn, and even start learning its native language inside mommy. Even more than all that, studies tell us that your baby’s first feelings will be intimately connected to what mommy feels and experiences. The bottom line for my fellow dads is that there is a bond between mommy and child that we will neither emulate nor understand. We dads need to respect that.
What do you hope dads take away from MWC? I hope I’ve provided some observations, warnings, and minor revelations that may be of use to my fellow dads. At the very least, I hope my fellow dads can take some solace and laugh with me at some of the crazy, humbling stuff that being a dad requires. What do you hope moms take away from the book? Mommies often seem to stare at us daddies as if to say “What were you thinking?” Well, here is one dad’s answer. Be patient with daddies, ladies. We have our challenges, too. What did you learn from writing Man With Child? I think writing Man With Child clarified certain things for me, but most of all it reminded me to laugh. My daughter is almost 10 now, and approaching adolescence. We all know how seriously preteens and teens can take themselves, and how easily they can be insulted or hurt. I tell Dessa all the time to laugh at herself first, and laugh often; that way, nobody can ever laugh at her, only with her. Writing Man With Child reminded me first and foremost that humor is perhaps the best tool we have for reconciling all the strange, challenging, humbling stuff the world throws at us – particularly when parenting is involved.

A love story 71 years in the making BY KAREN BILLING An 86-year-old Carmel Valley resident recently proved that it’s never too late for a fairy tale ending. After 71 years, a former classmate from Utah got in touch with Angie Osborn in San Diego. They reconnected over the phone, fell in love and got engaged on a trip to Disneyland this spring and were married on June 1. “My lonely quiet evenings ended with a phone call on Feb. 6, 2015 when a warm voice called and asked for Angeline,” Angie said. The man was Jim Fisher and while Angie didn’t quite remember him, he had never forgotten her—he could never forget the girl who sang “Ave Maria” in a white smock in their junior high school Christmas pageant. For years he would ask people whatever happened to Angeline, “his angel in white.” A mutual friend finally knew the answer as to how to find her and passed along Angie’s number. Through their conversations, they learned that they had lived only 10 blocks away from each other in Salt Lake City. Angie has lived in San Diego since 1991 and many in Carmel Valley knew her as “The Card Queen” of Elam’s Hallmark in Piazza Carmel. She worked there for 14 years until leaving

last year. Both Angie and Jim had been married before and both marriages had ended as the result of health problems. Angie had been alone for 12 years and Jim had been living alone for four years. Jim tried to talk Angie into taking a trip to Disneyland together but she was unsure because she didn’t know him well enough. A year ago, they did agree to meet in Salt Lake City and
they spent two hours together, poring over old yearbooks and sharing stories. The two continued talking on the phone for 14 months before Angie decided to agree to that trip to Disneyland, in April 2016, when she felt like she finally knew him well enough. “When I stepped off that train, he said it was like a movie love story,” Angie said. They spent days together on the

Disneyland trip and they fell in love — Jim proposed marriage and Angie, without hesitation, said “yes.” “He’s such a romantic, kind and wonderful man,” Angie said. Until last week, the pair talked on the phone every night for at least two hours. Angie said you would think that they wouldn’t have anything left to talk about but they do. While the original plan was for Angie to leave for Utah on June 1 and for the couple to return to the Anaheim area on June 25 for the wedding, plans changed. Angie landed on Wednesday at 1 p.m. and they were married at 5 p.m. Seventy-one years was a long enough wait. For the wedding, Angie wore a lace dress that she had worn at her step-granddaughter’s wedding. She said she felt like a million dollars in it and couldn’t wait to wear it again. On her wedding night she planned to sing “Ava Maria” for Jim, knowing that he would “go to pieces.” The couple plans to split time between Fisher’s home near Park City and Angie’s Carmel Valley condominium that her daughter is helping convert from a cozy place for one to a home for two. “I’m so excited and so grateful that this could happen in my life…I will have no more lonely nights,” Angie said. “You can be lucky in love at 86.”

Girl Scouts, Love on a Leash donate rocking chair to library BY KRISTINA HOUCK Visitors to the Solana Beach Library have a comforting new place to sit, thanks to local Girl Scouts with support from Love on a Leash. With profits cookie sales, Solana Beach-based Girl Scout Troop 3210 donated a brand-new rocking chair to the local library. “This donation is helping to touch the whole community,” Branch Manager Pat Tirona said during an unveiling ceremony on June 2. “Anybody can come and sit in the chair and read a story to a child. It’s important that the youth in our community grow up and associate reading with love and comfort. That way they have a better chance of becoming readers themselves when they’re in school and beyond.” It was the 11-member troop’s first time selling Girl Scout cookies around the community this year. First graders Aubree Magnaghi, Ava Paulson, Carmen Long, Chloe Meunier, Conner Oxberry, Emma Evans, Hagen Lindeman, Linnea McMahon, Lola Van Dyke, Natasha Bourdette and Violet Levesque attend either Skyline School, Solana Vista or St. James Academy. “They worked so hard this year to learn what it meant to be a Girl Scout,” said Cheryl Lindeman, who serves as

With a goal to give back to the community, the girls looked for ways to use their money to do good. The troop decided to donate a rocking
chair to the library after learning about North County-based Love on a Leash, a nonprofit dedicated to providing animal assisted therapy. Volunteers from the San Diego Central Chapter visit the library twice a month so children can read and spend time with therapy dogs. “It really is relaxing,” said Youth Librarian Renee Hanson, who added that the program is very popular with local kids. “Some children get anxiety when they’re learning how to read.” “Kids aren’t afraid to read to dogs,” added Bonnie Biggs, board vice president of Love on a Leash and former branch manager of Solana Beach Library. “It brings comfort and joy, and libraries do that, too.” Love on a Leash volunteers helped match the troop’s donations to purchase the rocking chair. A plaque on the chair, which sits in the children’s section of the library, recognizes both groups. “One of the tenets of being a Girl Scout is to make the world a better place,” Lindeman said. “Today, you made our community and our world a better place.” For more about Girl Scouts San Diego, visit www.sdgirlscouts.org.

Better Business Bureau awards cash scholarships to junior, senior students Since the Student Ambassador Scholarship Program began in 2006, it has reached thousands of young consumers from all over San Diego and Imperial Counties. On Wednesday, June 1, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving San Diego, Orange and Imperial Counties celebrated the 2016 program participants with a reception that recognized their achievements and awarded the winners their scholarship prizes. Winning third place and sharing a $1,000 scholarship was Andrew Kim and Spencer Whitney of Canyon Crest Academy. Winning second place and splitting a $1,500 scholarship was Karina Romero Luna and Oscar Vasquez from El Camino High School. Kristalina Banuelos and Valeria Estrada from El Camino High School split the first place scholarship prize of $2,500. Better Business Bureau’s Student Ambassador Program is designed to bring information on scams and frauds to entry-level consumers. With students and young consumers possessing high disposable incomes, they are easy targets for scammers looking to make their next buck. By teaching students to identify and protect themselves against such instances of fraud, the BBB hopes to develop a safer and stronger marketplace that will continue to thrive. This voluntary program trains junior and senior high school students to develop and deliver relevant scam-based presentations to peer groups. With the option to work individually, in a pair, or larger group, students must give a minimum of three presentations between the months of March and May. While each participant receives a certificate of recognition naming them a BBB Student Ambassador and recognizing their volunteer hours, those participants who present to the largest number of students are eligible to receive a cash scholarship. Overall, 23 students from 10 different schools finished the 2016 program, completing 159 presentations and reaching 8,183 of their peers – the largest number of students reached since the inception of the program! For more information on the program and other scholarship opportunities, visit bbb.org or contact Alexandra Hamilton, BBB Student Ambassador Coordinator.

Local teachers honored with Crystal Apple Awards Ten teachers, one from each of the represented middle and high schools of the San Dieguito and Rancho Santa Fe school districts, were honored for their excellence in teaching at the 23rd Annual Crystal Apple Awards on May 19. The Del Mar Stake, a local branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has hosted this event annually at the Del Mar Stake building in Carmel Valley since 1994. The award ceremony, which is open to the public, included San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board President Beth Hergesheimer, San Diego City Council President Sherrie Lightner, Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, and Superintendent Rick Schmitt, who also was a presenter. “The Crystal Apple Award is unique from other teaching recognitions” says President Drew Page of the Del Mar Stake explains, “in that the teachers are nominated for the award by their very own students by writing essays describing events or specific situations of teachers that they have witnessed or observed. The rigorous balloting process ends with hundreds of nominations. We love and appreciate our teachers who do so much for our youth and this is a small way to say thank you.” This year’s recipients include: Cindi Schildhouse of La Costa Canyon High School, John West of San Dieguito High School Academy, Abby Brown of Torrey Pines High School, Anne Whattoff of Canyon Crest Academy, Angela Halpin of Carmel Valley Middle School, Jason Moldovan of Diegueño Middle School, Diane Dekker of Earl Warren Middle School, William Reynolds of Oak Crest Middle School, Kaitlin Hildebrand of Pacific Trails Middle School, and Danika Severino of R. Roger Rowe School (Rancho Santa Fe School District). Special recognition went to Canyon Crest Academy’s Campus Supervisor Hector Gutierrez and Superintendent Rick Schmitt for their years of service in the district. Regarding award winner Angela Halpin of Carmel Valley Middle School, one nominating student said, “Mrs. Halpin as an outstanding teacher. She cares about each student needs, interest, and has a great love for reading. She always has a positive attitude about life no matter what gets in her way.” A student from Canyon Crest Academy says about special award winner Hector Gutierrez, “Hector has a smile on his face every day. He’s always positive and cheerful and knows every one’s name and makes your day so much better. He comes to all our volleyball games, even some of the away games.” The award recipients teach a wide variety of subjects including English, science, math, arts, languages, history, and special education. According to Kelli Lessie, Chairperson of the Crystal Apple Awards, stated “These awards started 23 years ago to give students a way to publicly express their appreciation for teachers who have had a positive influence in their lives. Few could fail to be moved by the sincerity of the students’ remarks and the appreciation expressed by their teachers in return.”

Growing & Building North Coast Green Homes, Sustainable Building SUSTAINABLE FOCUS
A renewed focus on supporting sustainable building
M
any factors are catalyzing the current housing market boom in North San Diego County – one of which is the impactful concept of sustainable, “green” construction. Across San Diego County, permits were pulled for about 10,000 residential units during 2015 (a nine-year high). Local experts called for a similar number in 2016. “We will expect a very similar year to last year,” said Borre Winckel, president and CEO of the Building Industry Association. About 25 percent of the new homes will be detached single-family residences, with the other 75 percent consisting of attached condos and townhomes. And due to state regulations, new homes will be built with sustainable practices in mind. “Right now it’s all about climate change but it comes at a cost,” Winckel said. “We are all concerned about limiting greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, probably the only housing that can be completely built with sustainability in mind are the very dense, ultra-expensive homes – what we call Class A housing products.” Sustainable Focus There is renewed focus on supporting sustainable, high-performance, new home construction and remodeling, even if a complete “green” build is out of reach for the majority of homeowners in North San Diego County. Some of this is due to the amount of support available to builders across the region. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the organization encourages its members through research, innovation and the use and acceptance of scientifically supported, cost-effective and proven technologies, methods, products and materials. And as homeowners, builders and developers will tell you, implementing sustainable practices is about more than optimizing the construction process. It’s also about enhancing the environment. Some of the top sustainable techniques being implemented in new builds and home
Courtesy of Davidson Communities at Enclave Rancho Santa Fe renovations include smaller-sized homes for reduced environmental impact and the installation of solar panels, Energy Star windows, rainwater harvesting systems and tank-less water heaters. “There are extremely efficient water use systems to help with water conservation,” Winckel said. “Some of the systems you’ll find in the high-end homes included water recycling technology. Energy consumption is a big issue here, and many homeowners are equipping their garage with charging stations. Solar panels are huge. And then of course all of the sustainable building materials that contractors can put to use today.” These materials can include reclaimed lumber, recycled plastic, recycled glass, bamboo flooring and natural tiles.

levels and energy-efficient lighting are sustainable finishing touches that help reduce a home or unit’s dependency on electricity. The Sweet Spots Energy-efficient building techniques are also in full force in multi-home units and apartment complexes – and tenants are moving in groves to enjoy the new “green” amenities. The most expensive and sought-after housing market remains Coastal North County, which includes Encinitas south to La Jolla and inland to Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. Avino is a new residential community featuring one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury rentals in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Surrounded by 1,300 acres of preserved natural habitat and centrally located near top schools and entertainment venues, this 14-acre, eco-friendly
community offers great access to Torrey Pines State Beach and Del Mar Racetrack. It also offers a solar-powered clubhouse and a direct-access garage with electric charging stations. According to a 2015 report by the San Diego Union-Tribune, some of new proposals in the concept or planning phases included Warner Ranch, which called for 780 homes on the north side of state Route 76, and Newland Sierra, the revised Merriam Mountains project that would put roughly 2,135 homes north of San Marcos and Escondido. This rapid growth has led builders to join networks like San Diego Green Homes, a group of building product and service providers dedicated to architecting homes that are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and healthier. “We hope to facilitate the networking process by connecting people with architects, contractors, and material providers in their area, and assist them with building more responsibly,” details the entity’s website. More Value, Less Inventory The average price for new homes in coastal North County in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.14 million, according to statistics from Market Pointe. While home values increase and inventory shrinks, there are constraints facing the housing market, particularly in coastal North County. These include the high costs of permits and regulatory compliance, and a reluctance to approve higher density housing. A study released in 2015 by Point Loma Nazarene University found that, on average, the cost of regulation in San Diego County amounts to about 40 percent of the price of a new home. Those costs include fees for building permits, as well as for schools, sewer lines and water connections. So while “green” building is all the rage on the coast, builders and developers are also toeing the line between finding new land, following stringent state regulations and appeasing a population in need of more moderately priced options in new housing.

Watkins Landmark Construction provides ‘Custom Quality with Commercial Efficiency’ I
n the fall of 2004, Jody James Watkins formed Watkins Landmark Construction. It was his goal to build a construction company that specializes in cutting-edge projects that leave a lasting impression on the client, the users, and the surrounding community. Hence the term “Landmark” in the company name. He sought to bring his experiences from working on such award-winning projects as the aforementioned Petco Park and Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Pfizer Campus Biotech Research Buildings, and the Pacific Athletic Club to Watkins Landmark Construction. Each of these projects required a custom level of quality done at the efficiency only a commercial contractor can obtain. This was the basis for our first company slogan “Custom Quality with Commercial Efficiency.” Another part of our company vernacular is the “elevator pitch.” The company elevator pitch is, “Our niche is we don’t have a niche!” We are mighty proud of the fact that we are builders first and foremost. Not just builders of restaurants, or churches, or tenant improvements. We build all types of projects … not just a certain type. Jody has said more than a few times that he
The Tennis Garden would get bored if the company only built one type of project. However, it is more than just that singular reason for our pursuit of a wide scope of projects. We believe that our diversity is our strength. We are builders. No

qualification of project types needs to follow. These days, forever moving forward, our company motto is simply “Build to Serve.” While this motto is a play on words, considering our biggest project to
date is a state-of-the-art tennis stadium featured at the BNP Paribas Open, it also emphasizes the core or company. Watkins Landmark prides itself in over-serving the client. We figure out what our client is unable — or unwilling — to say. Construction is not just about “Substantial Completion.” It’s about the journey. There is a saying within our company that goes, “If we get to the interview, then we will win the project.” This is based not only on our high win percentage if we get to the interview, but the amount of preparation that we put into every bid. Our competition will usually present the estimate and project schedule. We present the estimate complete with assumptions and value engineering alternates, project schedule, project organizational chart, site plan and a similar project portfolio. We are not often the lowest bidder, but we are the most complete. We also pride ourselves in providing the most value-engineering alternates that will assist the owner in any budgetary challenge. While this formula might seem simple, it goes the extra mile and our award percentage per interview is over 90 percent. SEE WATKINS, A21

here at Watkins Landmark. Our core values are Persistence (mentioned earlier), Personable, Pride in Work, and Trustworthy. Personable is a value that is scrutinized from the first interview. “Can this candidate pass the beer test?” is always asked after every interview. The meaning of this question is, “Would I sit down and have a beer with this individual?” We have declined to hire very qualified candidates because they would not hold our clients interest in a conversation. Pride in Work is a core value held by every true builder. All employees at Watkins Landmark will tell you what “Drive By Pride” means. It is the feeling you get when you drive by a project that you had a hand in building weeks, months, or even years after substantial completion. It is one of the values that will attract highly qualified candidates in the construction industry, to our company. Trustworthy is the last of the core values set by Jody James Watkins. It is a self-explanatory core value. From the beginning of Watkins Landmark Construction, Jody wanted to only surround himself with people he can trust unequivocally. Hence, several of our earliest employees have worked with Jody at previous companies. These are people that Jody not only had great respect for, but called them his friends as well. It was these relationships that formed the foundation of our culture. For questions or more information, please call us at (858) 259-1240 or visit us at www.watkinslandmark.com.

OUR READERS WRITE Be kind to local business employees Today in our community, I witnessed an upsetting but not rare incident. While I was receiving service at a local business, another client, who had an issue with having to wait, started yelling at the front desk attendant. He was there with his wife and young daughter. The employee was a local high school student and was shaken by the incident. Being somewhat outspoken, I took the time to point out to this grown man that being verbally abusive to a teenager was completely inappropriate regardless of his service issues. That is an understatement. His young daughter witnessed his rude behavior. Sadly, kids tend to emulate their parents. This is a plea for us to be kind and understanding to our local business employees. Many of them live in Carmel Valley. Quite a few earn minimum wage. A significant number of them are local students — our sons and daughters, who are working at their first job. Being bullied by an adult can have a strong impact on their self esteem and confidence. Karen Tipler MD, Carmel Valley resident
Del Mar petition/initiative — resoundingly supported Only by public vote can there be change to The Del Mar Community Land Plan and Zoning Laws which would affect commercial properties of 25,000 sq. ft. or more (similar to how Prop.B protects downtown with a public vote as opposed to a city council vote). Del Mar registered voters overwhelmingly surpassed the amount of petition signatures legally required to cause this “Initiative” to be on the November ballot. Petition/signatures have been submitted to the City. The City shall now verify and count those signatures by June 18. Then, the ”Initiative” shall be scheduled for the following City Council meeting as an agenda item. At that meeting, the City Council must either choose to adopt the “Initiative” or place the “Initiative” on the November ballot for public
vote. This is a non-discretionary ministerial duty imposed on the City Council by law. Please note, City Council could request a report, which could delay their requirement to choose for 30 days. Del Mar registered voters want the power of the vote to determine allowable changes to the Del Mar Land Use Plan and Zoning Laws for large properties, as opposed to the city council who works so long with various developers. Residents are willing and ready to protect, maintain and ensure those characteristic qualities which have made Del Mar the internationally- renowned village-like beach community it is. Residents believe, Del Mar can retain its quality of character and progress into the future at the same time, these are not mutually exclusive concepts. Low density, high density, affordable housing, etc., are not in issue here! This “Initiative” is about the community having the right to vote whether changes to our Community Land Plan and Zoning Laws would be acceptable to the majority of registered voters. NOTE: Developers proposing extremely out of character projects for Del Mar which can not be built under the existing Community Land Plan and Zoning Laws, are most concerning. The residents of Del Mar do not want to constantly be challenged and threatened with city changing development projects throughout every year. Developers requesting to change Del Mar, inherently require residents to be in a constant state of concern, investigation, attempting to understand, organizing, being stressed, etc. Whereas, developers are financed and programmed to fatigue and spin information to ultimately prevail. Solution: respect the honorable residents of Del Mar whom deserve more considerations. This endless type of interaction is exhausting, chaffing everyone’s dignity, sanity and desire to live a more stress free experience in this town. When the magnitude of a proposed project requests changing land use and zoning laws, then it would be better resolved during specified times only, during public voting. Overwhelming enthusiastic citizen support for this ‘Initiative’ is an impressive display of community conviction, sufficient to hopefully cause the City Council of Del Mar to champion this same cause. Our government and our community should be on the same page - a government of the people by the people and for the people.
Arnold Wiesel, Del Mar Hills Community Association, delmarhillside@yahoo.com
A modest proposal for the Fairgrounds Full credit to the city councils of Del Mar and Solana Beach for questioning the questionable math in the Fairground’s recent economic impact report (Report: Fairgrounds boost neighboring cities’ coffers, June 2). The Fairgrounds, known to some of us as Fennel’s Folly (after its eponymous and apparently permanent manager), started many decades ago as a quaint seasonal fairgrounds with the limited purpose of promoting local agriculture and industry. But over the years, it has turned into a grotesque Coney Island by the Sea, a place for off-market gun sales and general honky tonk, driven by megalomaniacal plans to grow and grow and grow. Today, it doesn’t so much serve the community as it serves itself. Now we are presented with a flawed economic impact report that demonstrates the truth of the old aphorism “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” That is to say, the report must be rejected because it simply fails to count the many negative impacts it imposes on the community, including lost sales to local restaurants and businesses (how many of us stay away from our usual restaurants to avoid fair traffic?), traffic gridlock and frayed nerves and idled-auto pollution, the bone-rattling Kaboo(m) shows, and the general noise and trash. Even if the impact report were right, for Solana Beach the net financial benefit is only about $200,000, or $15 per person. Who wouldn’t gladly pay $15 a year to shut the whole thing down? It would be a wash, financially. The Fairgrounds began life as a county fair to show cows and livestock and local agriculture. Today, it is no longer for the cows; it is instead promoted as just a cash cow. So, here’s a modest proposal: return the Fairgrounds to its original, intended, and only legitimate use, and put an end to the creeping corporatism that is a betrayal of its only true mission.

Solana Beach resident Jacob Frankel selected 1st Team All Conference Jacob Frankel, a junior baseball left-hander from La Jolla Country Day and a resident of Solana Beach, was selected as a 1st Team Coastal Conference All Star, according to his head coach John Edman. Frankel had an outstanding year on the mound, finishing with a 7-0 record to go along with his 1.87 ERA. The Country Day
Torreys finished the season 20-11 and won all nine of Frankel’s starts this year. “Our conference (featuring schools such as Santa Fe Christian, Francis Parker and Bishops) was competitive all season long and Jacob was our best pitcher this year,” said Edman. Despite their small enrollment, the LJCD
Torreys surprised everyone to earn a berth in the Open Division of the CIF Tournament against the best teams in San Diego County. Frankel earned the starting nod in the Torrey’s opening round matchup against #1 seed and baseball powerhouse La Costa Canyon. Frankel responded with 5 innings
of 2 hit ball and led his his team to a 4-3 victory, a game Torrey’s Athletic Director Jeff Hutzler called the “the biggest win in the history of our program.” Frankel also played 1st Base and Outfield for the Torreys this year, batting .317. Along with his All Conference honors, Frankel was selected “Pitcher Of The Year” at LJCD.
FROM EARL WARREN, A2 Camacho said McCarthy Building Companies has been a great company to work with. “It’s a once in a lifetime project,” he said. Gil Camerena, McCarthy project manager. took the time to thank all the subcontractors and craftspeople who worked on the job, Lionakis Architects and the district for the opportunity to work here on site. The beam was signed by middle school faculty and staff, board members, workers and parents and will be a part of the building forever. As is custom, Camerena said the beam is topped with a tree, a Scandinavian symbol of respect to the land and the trees that were there before, and an American flag representing all of the workers in the trade who have been injured.

The beam is raised by a crane at Earl Warren. FROM PROJECTS, A1 “The right to vote is very important, especially to a community that loves its community,” Wiesel said. Proposed by Watermark DM LP, a partnership between San Dieguito Land Partners and Kitchell, the Watermark includes 48 units that range from studios to three-bedrooms in one- and two-story buildings. The project also includes 108 parking spaces — 96 assigned stalls for the units and 12 guest stalls — in an underground structure, a pool and spa area and a recreation room. The 2.3-acre lot is used for parking during special events at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. 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. Although Watermark inspired the initiative, Wiesel said he and his group are looking beyond the proposed project. “We’re safest with a community safeguard,” Wiesel said. “This is not about Watermark,” he reiterated. “This is about projects of uncharacteristic huge density that destroy our values and the beauty of Del Mar. It’s about what could happen to the community if the community can’t be involved and have a say.”
The beam is put in place on the new Earl Warren School.
Earl Warren Principal Adam Camacho, Assistant Principal Kaitlyn Wood and SDUHSD board members Joyce Dallessandro, Amy Herman and Beth Hergesheimer. The petition contained 505 signatures. Del Mar has about 2,855 registered voters. Therefore, 286 signatures, or 10 percent, are needed to qualify the measure for the upcoming general election. San Diego County Registrar of Voters is currently verifying the signatures. “We had an overwhelming response,” Wiesel said. “It resonates so strong.” If the Registrar of Voters determines that the petition has been signed by the required number of registered voters, the City Council can adopt the ordinance, submit it to the voters for consideration or call for a report. “I hope that you folks will not only appreciate it, but champion the same cause,” Wiesel said to the council during the June 6 meeting. “They (residents) really want to believe that their government is really part of them. We all have this ability to be part of that. That would make our town even that
much more beautiful.” Because the city doesn’t know when the Registrar of Voters is going to certify the signatures, city staff recommended the council call for a report on the proposed initiative now. “Our concern is that if they take the entire time period that they’re allotted, then your ability to call for a report at that time, and have it be beneficial to you and the public, is going to be really limited and hard to accomplish,” City Manager Scott Huth said. In a 4-0 vote, the council on June 6 called for a report of the proposed initiative called, “Voter Approval for Certain Development Projects.” Councilman Dwight Worden was absent from the meeting. “I respect Mr. Wiesel’s effort in moving this forward,” Councilman Al Corti said. “I’m glad that there’s that many people in the community that think it’s a worthwhile issue. I support the
concept of a ballot issue, but at this point, I’m looking for a report to understand what the ramifications and the implications are to the entire community if this were to move forward, and then we can make a decision.” Councilman Don Mosier said the report should answer some “big questions.” If the measure were adopted, Mosier said it would make it “virtually impossible” for Del Mar to meet its state-certified housing element. Therefore, he said he would like an analysis of the consequences if the city were to fail to follow state law. And because the measure is similar to Measure B, Moiser questioned how both would be implemented. A voter approved initiative, Measure B is a law that governs large developments in the downtown area. “It’s inconsistent with Measure B,” he said. “One of them has to win.”

FROM RUNOFF, A4 registration advantage with 38 percent of the electorate, while Democrats represent 33.2 percent of voters. Another 27.3 percent do not belong to a party. The district includes parts of the county’s central coast, as well as part of San Diego and inland cities. Abed and Gaspar hammered Roberts through the primary for a scandal in the first-term supervisor’s office last spring. Four of his staffers resigned and levied a series of allegations against Roberts, including an accusation that he offered a subordinate a raise and promotion if she mislead a county inquiry into his office. Three of the former employees filed official complaints that the county settled for $310,000. While Abed and Gaspar focused on Roberts’ scandal, Abed eventually turned against Gaspar and sent an attack mailer against her. Supervisor Greg Cox had no opponent and was re-elected in the First District. A moderate Republican, Cox’s political career started in 1976 on the Chula Vista City Council. He is facing term limits and the next four years will be his last in county office. For updated/more results, visit www.sdvote.com. — Joshua Stewart is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Note: In the pivotal District 1 City Council race, Democrat Barbara Bry had a strong lead Tuesday night but didn’t surpass the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a November runoff with Republican Ray Ellis.

FROM MANAGER, A1 addition to any cost of living or base adjustments that we need to make,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said. Among a long list of major initiatives, in 2015 the city managed a balanced budget and enhanced the general fund, as well as acquired $400,000 in new grants and donations for the River Path Del Mar extension under Huth’s leadership. Del Mar completed the schematic design and design development
Center for Healthy Aging opens at UCSD BY WILL BOWEN By the year 2050, the average life expectancy will be 90 years old — about twice as old as the life expectancy at the turn of the century. New research, coming out of England, has suggested that soon, 30 percent of all senior women will live to be over 100! Mainland China now has about 500 million people over age 65. That is 200 million more than the entire U.S. population of 300 million! 20 percent of our 300 million, or 60 million, will be 65 years old by the year 2050. That’s a lot of senior citizens! As populations age, more services will be needed for older adults. Hence, the Center for Healthy Aging was created at UC San Diego. An inaugural event to open the center was held May 28 at Atkinson Auditorium at the Qualcomm Institute on campus. The overflow crowd necessitated the opening of a second room where late-comers watched the proceedings on a huge video screen. David A. Brenner, M.D., Dean of the School of Medicine and Sandra A. Brown, Ph.D., vice chancellor of research, introduced the program, which was six hours long. The first speaker was Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., director of both the Stein Institute for Research on Aging and the Center for Healthy Aging. Jeste considered the questions: Why do humans have such a long life span? How is this longevity beneficial to our species? What is the evolutionary significance of our long life span? He said most animals die soon after they are no longer fertile and able to produce offspring, but humans continue to thrive past that point, so there’s a reason and a benefit to longevity. Older people become wiser and more in control of their emotions. They are able to advise younger people.
phases of the new civic center project, which Huth directed though the environmental review, design review and community participation processes. The city also completed a request for proposals for temporary office space and analyzed alternative options for relocation, continued the master planning process for Shores Park, and completed $600,000 in annual street repair and drainage work, including the sidewalk construction project along Jimmy Durante Boulevard. Among other initiatives, the city
completed a citizen satisfaction survey and implemented a plan to address the community’s concerns, as well as launched EngageDelMar, an online community engagement tool that allows residents to provide input regarding city projects. Huth started as city manager in 2012. In June 2014, the council approved a three-year extension to his contract, effective Jan. 1, 2015 to Jan. 1, 2018. The contract requires that the council review his performance at least once a year. The council met in closed session to evaluate Huth’s performance. All

Jeste pointed out that new research has shown children are happier and healthier when their grandparents are involved in their upbringing. Further, he said, many older people continue to make contributions in the arts, sciences and humanities that benefit the species. The next speaker was Gary L. Gottlieb, M.D. and M.B.A. and professor of psychiatry at Harvard University. He went into depth analyzing the rising costs of health care. His research is focused on trying to improve health care while lowering costs. He said 60 percent of all seniors are using social security and Medicare to pay for health services. Gottlieb suggested a way to go is to create complex care teams that look after individual patients. These teams coordinate information and get the best service at the lowest cost. Remote care with patients and doctors communicating information by way of computer “platforms” is an essential part of the process. Gottlieb’s experiments with care teams have shown they can save up to 7 percent of costs and produce better health outcomes for patients. Next to speak was a panel consisting of Ron Knight, Todd Coleman and Sallie Rafie. Knight, Ph.D., is a computer science and engineering professor. He studies the field of human microbiomes, which are like the beneficial flora that live inside intestines. This healthy bacteria, which some scientists call “our bugs,” has more DNA than our actual DNA. Our bugs live in our mucus membranes and on the skin. They appear to play an important role in susceptibility to disease. Coleman, Ph.D., is a professor of bioengineering. He studies wearable sensors and computational devices that monitor body

functions, like pulse or blood pressure, and send the information directly to your doctor. Soon most of us will be wearing these devices, which are like the Apple watch. Rafie is a doctor of pharmacy in charge of medication safety at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy. Her job is to try and prevent prescription errors. She advocates for patients taking an active role in their care to make sure they get the correct prescription. John Feather, Ph.D. and CEO of Grantmakers in Aging, spoke about building communities conducive to healthy aging. He said we need to link housing with health care, transportation and social services. Feather talked about his mom’s senior housing in Texas. She lives in a great community, he said, but as soon as you step outside the main gates, there are no sidewalks and no street lights on the main drag, so she cannot walk across the street safely to go to the bank or the post office. Poor planning! To fix the problem would require a bond measure, but the seniors themselves voted it down to save taxes. After Feather’s talk, came another panel discussion. Jason Childers, vice president of Merrill Gardens, discussed getting seniors affordable housing and Eduardo R. Macagno, Ph.D., founding dean of the Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD, spoke about Alzheimer’s disease. Panel member Carmen Roa, a 74-year-old retired real estate agent, stole the show by laying down the law about not abandoning or neglecting seniors. “Find the time to visit and love your elders, they gave you everything they had when you were growing up,” she advised. ■ Want to know more?

five members of the council individually completed a performance review of the city manager, which was consolidated into an overall performance score, Sinnott explained. Mayor Sherryl Parks and Worden also served on a subcommittee to evaluate city manager salaries and benefits. “It’s a short report, but it’s the result of a long, long process,” Sinnott noted. “We have been working with Scott on a performance-based evaluation where we communicate goals and

he responds and reports performance to those goals.” According to the staff report, Huth’s annual salary is one of the lowest when compared to other city manager salaries throughout San Diego County. Del Mar’s “general compensation philosophy” has been to retain positions within 5-7 percent of the median, according to the report. The median salary for city managers in the region is $221,613. At an annual salary of $197,092, Huth’s salary was 12.4 percent below the median.
access to a great education as general education students. “Special education concerns have come out of every stakeholder group,” Verdugo affirmed. A challenge of the district the parents shared is the very divided board that has “frustrated parents with their lack of cooperation” as they are split 3-2 on almost every decision. Ecker said while a split board does present a challenge, “we’re richer when we come to the table with different ideas and that’s OK as long as one idea
is the same and that’s that we’re here for the children,” he said. In response to the challenge of a split board Ecker said they would look for a leader who is politically astute, has good management skills and is a good communicator and collaborator. The plan is for Leadership Associates to have candidates to recommend for the post by the end of August so the board will be in the position to name a new superintendent in September.

FROM CLIMATE, A1 targets and strategies to achieve those targets. The cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Encinitas, Escondido, San Marcos and Vista have adopted such plans. The city of San Diego also adopted a plan last year. Other cities, such as neighboring Solana Beach, are currently developing plans. With a grant from the San Diego Association of Governments, Del Mar completed its Greenhouse Gas Inventory in 2011 based on data from 2005. An Energy Roadmap for city operations was created in 2013. Since early 2014, city staff has worked with the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board to update Del Mar’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory based on data from 2012 and 2013, determine greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2020 and 2035, identify mitigation measures and strategies, draft the plan and prepare an implementation plan.
The plan also incorporated public input from the city’s Sustainable Lifestyle Resource Fair and Climate Action Plan Workshop in September. About 50 people attended the workshop, which featured 12 exhibitors. The project was made possible with support from SANDAG, San Diego Gas & Electric, Energy Policy Initiatives Center and consulting firm Atkins. In preparation for a presentation to the council in December, Del Mar posted its draft Climate Action Plan on the city website in January. The final version of the plan was posted on June 2. “Our CAP does not set forth any laws or mandates or policies or programs. It sets recommendations,” explained Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager. “Through our implementation plan, we will come back and work on all of those different things as individual
projects.” The plan looks at cutting greenhouse gas emissions through strategies related to energy and buildings, water and waste, transportation and tree planting. There are 22 recommended goals on the list, along with 24 measures and 74 strategies identified as part of the implementation plan, according to the staff report. Each item will be evaluated by staff, the appropriate city advisory committee as applicable, and brought before the council for consideration. One of the city’s most significant strategies identified in the Climate Action Plan is the goal of working toward 50 percent renewable energy supply by 2020 and 100 percent renewable energy supply by 2035. Priorities for the first phase include pursuing increased use of renewable energy sources, including the exploration of community choice aggregation; facilitating the planning and building application
process for the installation of photovoltaic panels and energy efficiency retrofits; developing a zero-waste program or policy, implementing a “complete streets” policy for arterial streets, exploring the installation of roundabouts, and possibly implementing an urban tree planting program. The city received 13 letters in support of the Climate Action Plan. Several speakers also asked the council to adopt the plan. “I’m here tonight to ask you for bold leadership,” said Del Mar resident Bruce Bekkar, who serves on the city’s Sea-Level Rise Stakeholder Technical Advisory Committee. “I’m asking you to send a very loud message to the rest of the region. Other cities are watching this right now and will be hearing about it. In fact, you can send a loud message to the entire state tonight. It’s way past time to take a stand on climate change. We need to catch up quickly and stabilize the climate.”
In a 4-0 vote, the council adopted the plan. Councilman Dwight Worden was absent from the meeting. “I’m very proud of this community for putting together such a fine document,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said. “This gets us down to a clear understanding of what are the options and what a small city like Del Mar can do to achieve its goals.” “This is a wonderful work product,” Councilman Don Mosier agreed. “We’re all starting late in the game and we need to play catch up. This document provides a way to catch up.” The city will periodically assess its progress by recalculating its Greenhouse Gas Inventory. City staff will also keep track of measures implemented, as well as review and update the Climate Action Plan. For more about the city’s Climate Action Plan, visit www.delmar.ca.us/cap.

Casa de Amistad students receive college scholarships Solana Beach nonprofit starts new scholarship program BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach’s Casa de Amistad has long helped local students succeed in school. In an effort to continue to support graduating seniors as they start college, the organization recently launched a scholarship fund. “We have a really generous anonymous donor making it possible to support higher education,” said Tiffany Farnsworth, board president of Casa de Amistad, a nonprofit organization that fosters education and character development in local youth. “We’re really honored to be part of distributing that money to the kids who have worked so hard at Casa de Amistad for so long.” Casa de Amistad celebrated seven graduating seniors during the organization’s inaugural Future Leaders Award Banquet on June 2. Casa awarded six students scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 to help cover the costs of tuition, fees, room and board, or other college-related expenses. As part of the new scholarship fund, students without computers also received laptops. “College is really expensive. That’s one of the huge obstacles for low-income families,” said Elvert Vazquez, a graduating senior from Torrey Pines High School who will be studying business at MiraCosta College in the fall. “It’s wonderful to receive a scholarship that’s going to contribute to my education and journey.” As part of the application process, students submitted an application and two letters of recommendation from non-family members. The newly-formed Casa Future Leaders Committee also interviewed the applicants. “These are the best of our students and we want to recognize their achievements,” said Mary Ann Petree, a retired Solana Beach

Other scholarship recipients included seniors Justin Alcaide, who will be attending Cal State San University Marcos; Jessica Bueno, who is going to the University of California, Davis; Frankie Canseco, who is headed to Brigham Young University–Idaho; and Edgar Vergara, who will be studying at Cal Poly Pomona. San Dieguito Academy senior Lesliee Escobedo was also honored during the ceremony. She received the Gates Millennium Scholarship, a full-ride college scholarship funded by the Bill and Melinda

Gates Foundation. Out of 57,000 applicants, Lesliee is one of only 1,000 students to receive the scholarship in 2016. She will be studying biology at the University of San Diego in the fall. “You’ve chosen to challenge yourself in the face of many obstacles,” Petree said to the students during the dinner. “You’ve chosen to listen to your inner voice to make some pretty hard choices. You’ve chosen to find inner strength. Success does not come easily, but you’ve worked hard to make that happen. “You had the courage to change and to move forward,” she added. “You had the courage to believe that anything is possible. You had the courage to have big dreams. So achievement is the knowledge that you have studied, worked hard and given the very best of yourselves. We know that you have bright futures. We are all so

proud of you.” The organization’s staff and volunteers also recognized the parents and family members of the students for helping them succeed in school. “You are all so lucky to have parents who care about you,” said Nicole Mione-Green, executive director of Casa de Amistad. “They care about your future. They’re truly some of the most amazing people that I know.” Casa de Amistad provides educational mentoring and tutoring services to underserved children and teens in preschool through 12th grade. The Solana Beach organization offers its after-school program on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the school year. In August, the organization offers a summer enrichment program for kindergarten through sixth-grade students. The academic mentoring

Today, Casa de Amistad currently serves more than 200 students from Solana Beach School District, Del Mar Union School District, Encinitas Union School District, Cardiff School District, Carlsbad Unified School District and San Dieguito Union High School District. More than 180 individuals volunteer weekly as tutors and mentors. Many of the seniors who were honored during the inaugural Future Leaders Award Banquet have participated in Casa de Amistad’s programs since they were young students. “We always know that we have someone that supports us,” said Jessica, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy who has studied at Casa since she was in first grade.

Eating my way through Parma: An Italian food series, Cheese!
G
La Jolla Cultural Partners
rowing up, I never really embraced Parmesan cheese, a stinky powder, which was typically sold in shiny, tinsel-green cylinders. When I heard the story of the iconic entertainer, Liberace, who mistakenly sprinkled Comet (a doppelganger for the Parmesan tin) on his home-baked lasagna nearly poisoning his dinner guests, I took a hiatus from the cheese for several years. I have since experienced a cheese conversion, especially during my recent tour of the CIBUS International Food Exhibition held in Parma, Italy. One of the highlights was the discovery of the complicated and exhilarating production of Parmigiano Reggiano (authentic Parmesan) cheese, first created by monks 900 years ago as a means of preserving surplus milk. The cheese, emblematic to the region of Parma, has put the latter on the map with its pungent aroma and rich flavor. Chunks cut from the golden wheel in which this robust cheese is presented, appear on breakfast and dessert tables accompanied by acacia honey, fig jam and fresh fruits, and shaved onto salads, soups, pizzas, pastas, risottos and eggplant dishes for lunches and dinners. This ancient cheese is thoroughly
ensconced in the culture and tradition of the region, and is even designated by law with the certification acronym DOP, which stands for Denominazione di Origine Protetta (Protected Designation of Origin). This guarantees to the consumer that the product was locally grown, produced and packaged in the region of Parma using traditional and artisanal methods set out by the Consortium. Wearing hair caps, shoe coverings and lab coats, our group of journalists marveled Consorzio Produttori Latte, sampling different aged cheeses at the end of the adventure. Feeling like a Lilliputian, my jaw dropped at the gargantuan copper caldrons as big as Jacuzzi tubs, and stirring paddles resembling ships’ oars. But most remarkable was the dedication of the cheese master who, according to Simone Ficarelli, marketing representative with Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano, “has only taken six vacation days during the past 40 years.” Just as remarkable was the process of producing the Parmesan wheel, pampered like a newborn baby — coddled, swathed, bathed in warm, salty water, strictly monitored and cared for daily for up to 36
months in a temperature-controlled environment until branded with its date of birth, the dairy’s logo, and regional certification, only after passing the cheese master’s rigorous tests. By law, the cheese must stay in the aging room a minimum of 12 months, considered an immature teenager in the cheese world, still soft, pale and difficult to grate. Other cheeses will continue to age until 24 or 36 months. Ficarelli recommended older cheeses, “as they are more evolved with complex elements like marbles of granulated protein that burst with an umami flavor, and crunch to the teeth.” But no matter what age of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, the processing removes all but trace amounts of lactose sugar, making it easily digestible for most people who are typically lactose intolerant.
A Cheese Sidebar
■ It takes 150 gallons of milk to produce one 80-pound Parmesan wheel. ■ One in 1,000 wheels fails the cheese master’s test, and is declassified and sold as “grana” or granulated, shredded cheese at half the price of Parmesan. ■ For centuries cheese masters used their elbows as thermometers. Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma and second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, used her influence to transform the age-old (and potentially injurious) process. She invited Monsieur Reaumur, a French scientist and inventor of the Reaumur temperature scale to Parma to modernize the elbow technique.
Melt-in-your-Mouth Eggplant Parmesan ■ Ingredients: • 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced (skin intact) • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and more for pan-frying • 1 24-ounce jar crushed Italian tomatoes • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, chopped • 1 teaspoon honey • 4 ounces each Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (aged at least 24 months), shredded and blended ■ Method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a saucepan, heat oil on low, and sauté garlic til tender. Add tomatoes, honey, basil and spices, and simmer for 15 minutes. In a large skillet, coat the bottom with olive oil, and pan-fry the eggplant slices in batches until tender, but still firm. Set aside cooked slices on a baking sheet until completed. In a rectangular, oven-safe baking dish, alternate layers starting with tomato sauce, then eggplant, and repeat. For the top layer sprinkle cheese mixture to make a covering. Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and melted. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Hiking series across San Dieguito Watershed leads to wedding BY KRISTINA HOUCK ust as most movie buffs know the story of “When Harry Met Sally,” many San Elijo Lagoon enthusiasts have come to learn the love story of Rob and Vicki. “We’re actually very famous,” Robert Weisgrau said as he and his new wife, Victoria Monaco, laughed. The Rancho Santa Fe couple live off of El Camino Real by the San Elijo Lagoon — a place that’s close to both their hearts. They met while experiencing the San Dieguito River Valley through the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s “Exploring Our Sense of Place” program. And after they share their story with others, some say it’s fate. “I never thought that I would fall in love so hard like this,” Monaco said. “I think we’re soul mates.” Both New York natives and parents to three adult children each, Weisgrau has served as a radiologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego since 1990. Monaco, now retired, worked in commercial real estate for about 30 years. Also both nature buffs, Weisgrau and Monaco separately signed up for the Exploring Our Sense of Place program in 2010. A longtime supporter of the conservancy, Weisgrau registered for his first hiking series with the organization. Monaco signed up for the series at the suggestion of her next door neighbor, Kimberly Godwin.

Victoria Monaco and Robert Weisgrau on a hike early in the Exploring Our Sense of Place program. so I decided to do it on my own,” recalled Monaco, who had been a widow for about five years at the time. “I stepped outside my box.” “That’s very unusual for Vicki,” said Weisgrau, jokingly adding that “she doesn’t go to Starbucks alone.” The annual program kicks off each year in September with a reception at the Del Mar Powerhouse. Although the pair recall seeing each other, they didn’t officially meet until their first hike up Volcan Mountain the following month.
Weisgrau, who was divorced at the time, had invited a friend, but she was unable to make the first excursion. With no partners, he and Monaco naturally started talking on the trail. “We were talking for a while, and as we were talking, I kind of felt my heart open,” said Monaco, who hadn’t dated anyone after her late husband’s passing. “It was just a really special feeling. I didn’t know what it meant at the time.” “I was interested, but it was the first hike,” Weisgrau said. “We were going to be hiking
every month for about a year. If things went bad, I still wanted to enjoy the hikes.” Still, Weisgrau and Monaco became quite inseparable after that first hike. In fact, they have pictures of the first day they met because a photographer with the conservancy snapped some shots of the two together. “It seemed like every picture he took of either one of us, we were both in the same picture,” Weisgrau said. “It’s really very funny looking back.” By December, Weisgrau asked Monaco to a George Winston concert in North Park after his daughter “ditched” him. Monaco returned the gesture by asking him to a hike from Del Mar to La Jolla at the start of 2011. The duo went on their first official date to a jazz club on Valentine’s Day 2011. Following a whirlwind romance, Weisgrau proposed to Monaco on the top of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy in October 2014. They were hiking the volcano when Weisgrau went down on one knee and proposed in Italian. The couple married on April 10 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. “It’s very special each getting a second chance,” Weisgrau said. “It is possible.” And it all started with a hike. Created in 2007 by conservancy board member, Chris Khoury, and his wife, Linda Corey, the eight-session seminar series includes a reception and seven excursions with lectures by experts. The series of educational excursions take participants through the San Dieguito River SEE COUPLE, B18

Massage Concepts - Del Mar spa focused on your relaxation and overall health
C
ertified massage therapists, affordable rates and elite service are at the foundation of Massage Concepts – the newest business to break into the Del Mar landscape.
The boutique spa created by Del Mar residents opened in April and has already gained a loyal following. “We help people relax and unwind,” said owner Anne Chao, who worked in stressful corporate settings for 10 years before opening the business. “I know a lot of lawyers, engineers and executives whose jobs are very competitive and demanding. Massage is a great way for them to relieve their stress.” Across the world, massage therapy is becoming one of the most popular ways to not only relax, but to reduce certain health issues as well. Recent studies have shown that massage therapy can provide relief of anxiety and depression, as well as pain, stress, nausea, depression, distress, anxiety and fatigue in cancer patients. Anne welcomes all customers into her conveniently located spa. “We always have massage therapists on site so you don’t
have to make long-term appointments,” she said. “We don’t sell a membership or force any commitment. We believe that you will love the experience and come back often.” Here are a few of Massage Concepts’ signature services: SWEDISH MASSAGE: One of the softest massage methods, the Swedish massage entails a therapist applying light to medium pressure to relieve stress and promote relaxation. A 60-minute package costs only $65. DEEP TISSUE: Really stressed? This massage features a therapist focusing on deeper muscles, applying medium pressure to relieve stress and tension. This service – priced at only $75 for 60 minutes – is recommended to stimulate blood flow, relieve stiff neck, upper and lower back pain, sore shoulders and muscle tightness. REFLEX THERAPY: Anne says her spa specializes in the ancient art of reflexology, which believes that points on feet, lower leg, hands, face and ears correspond with different areas of the body. By applying appropriate pressure to these points, treatment stimulates blood flow and relieves tension throughout the body. 60 minutes will cost you only $80.
“All of our services are reasonably priced and will leave you feeling relaxed,” Anne said. “The reflex therapy makes us unique. Our masseuses are specially trained in the discipline and our clients really benefit from it.” The spa also offers massage enhancements like hot stone, liquid wax, foot scrubs, foot massages and essential oils. So whether you are looking to find a sense of balance and tranquility or relief from chronic pain and tension, Massage Concepts can meet your needs. Its location features a warm, tranquil atmosphere with eight treatment rooms and on-site parking. Open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day of the week, you’re guaranteed to find a massage time that meets your busy schedule.
Check out the company’s website at www.massageconceptsdelmar.com for regular specials. This month’s Father’s Day offering includes a 60-minute Swedish full-body massage for only $50 or a 60-minute body and foot massage for only $40. Gift cards are also available so call or stop by today.

Fusion Academy features one-on-one instruction BY CHRIS SAUR Most middle and high school-aged students, as well as their parents and teachers, know the struggle of class sizes that are just too large for them to get enough individual attention. Not at Fusion Academy. The accredited private middle and high school (grades 6-12) — which has locations around the U.S but still maintains its flagship campus in Solana Beach at 512 Via De La Valle — has a take on class sizes that is, quite literally, unique. “We teach all of our courses one-to-one,” explained Alexis Archambault, the enthusiastic and personable head of school for Fusion Academy’s Solana Beach campus. “We have a heavy focus on mentoring and the teacher-student relationship. Not only are the teachers there to teach the content and the curriculum, but they are there to mentor the students and be a support for them.” What started in 1989 as a learning center out of founder Michelle Rose Gilman’s house in Cardiff, has now expanded to five other states — New

Classes range from art classes that allow the teacher to tailor instruction to a student’s particular talents, to a music room with a working recording studio, to a visual arts class where students can learn graphic design and video game design, to yoga and, starting next year, karate.
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas and Virginia — as well as Washington D.C. There are 15 California campuses in the San Diego, Los Angeles and Bay areas. All of them are founded on the principles that Rose Gilman discovered while working with kids in her garage. “She was curious about the disconnect between understanding
the information in a one-to-one setting (like tutoring) and then not being able to show that mastery in a classroom, and to her it really came down to the relationships,” Archambault said. But its one-to-one classroom setting isn’t the only aspect of the Fusion experience that stands out. Students can get the individualized instruction in a variety of ways that often appeal
directly to kids that have trouble staying engaged in traditional classes. Available classes range from one-to-one art classes that allow the teacher to tailor instruction to a student’s particular talents, to a music room with a working recording studio where students can play guitar, drums, bass and learn the mixing equipment, to a visual arts class where students can learn graphic design and video game design (and several students have created their own apps which are available on iTunes), to yoga and, starting next year, karate. Additional experiences for Fusion’s full-time, high school-age students come from the required Wellness Courses. This includes a class called Healthy Habits, where the high-schoolers learn problem-solving skills, coping skills and work on building relationships and achieving physical, mental and emotional balance. Along with the usual Spanish and French, students can learn Japanese and American Sign Language. The majority of Fusion’s courses are
UC-approved and transfer to college applications, and the academy has a counselor who helps with college admissions or the transition to whatever the students’ next phase of life entails. Almost every hour-long class is followed by an hour of what the school calls Homework Café, an innovative concept that fills two important roles: socializing and finishing school work before getting home. For the students who need therapeutic help, Fusion’s staff includes a marriage and family therapist and one that deals with substance prevention. Archambault adds that tuition varies greatly because students pay by the class each semester, but for full-time students, the cost is comparable to the private middle and high schools in the area.

9 Ways Contour is Changing Television 2. Smart Search. The new Contour features an
innovative on-screen guide with rich graphics, show and movie posters, and detailed information on more than 35,000 On Demand titles. The new search function predicts what you are looking for when you key in as few as three letters, and will bring up programming by network, title, genre, or actor.
3. Smart Recommendations. The all new Contour helps
you discover new TV shows and movies by offering recommendations based on what you like to watch, whether it’s a sitcom, children’s programming, or superhero movies.
Technology has changed the way we live, and now Contour is changing the way we watch television. With an image rich on-screen guide, smart search that predicts what you will want to watch, and a voice controlled remote, the all new Contour from Cox offers an innovative way to experience television. Here are 9 ways that Contour will change the way you watch TV.
1. Talk to Your Remote. Simply press the microphone
button on your Contour remote and speak into it to change the channel, launch an app, search for your favorite show actor, or genre, or even get a recommendation.
4. Apps! Apps! Apps! Launch personalized apps for
sports, news, weather and traffic directly from your remote. Apps can be viewed simultaneously with other programming so you can check the score on your game and not interrupt your current show.
5. Parental Controls. If you want to monitor and limit
what the children can watch, the new Contour makes it easy to add security PINs (personal identification numbers) to buy or watch content, and it has a customizable Kids Zone for children of all ages.
6. Watch your shows anywhere in your home, even if
there isn’t a television in the room. Just download the Contour app on your Apple or Android device and begin watching your favorite show.
7. The “Last” Nine. An updated ‘Last’ button gives you
quick access to the last nine programs you recently viewed so that you can easily resume watching where you left off.
8. 2 Terabytes of storage. What is a terabyte, you ask? It’s a trillion bytes, which means you have a huge storage capacity with Contour. Store up to 300 hours of high definition programming and 1,000 hours of standard definition programming, and record six programs at the same time.
9. There’s more? If you start watching a program in
one room, you can finish watching it in another room, and enjoy smaller boxes for additional TVs in the home.
Cox Communications’ all new Contour isn’t about watching TV. It’s about the experience. Learn more at www.cox.com/contour, and experience it yourself by visiting a Cox Solutions Store today.

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/.

FROM COUPLE, B3 Valley in the San Dieguito Watershed. The watershed begins on the slopes of Volcan Mountain and merges with the waters of the Pacific Ocean at the San Dieguito Lagoon. “Rob and Vicki are great supporters of the park and we’re friends,” said Trish Boaz, executive director of San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the natural resources of the San Dieguito Watershed. “The conservancy is a fun group that really cares about the San Dieguito River Park and the entire watershed. They say, ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’ You have that with the conservancy.” Held monthly from September through May, the seminar series covers a variety of topics, including an overview of the River Park; mammals and tracking; water resources, geology and chaparral; bIrds of Bernardo Bay; Piedras Pintadas botany; Native Americans and lagoon restoration. A graduation luncheon is served at the San Elijo Lagoon at the end of the program.

Robert Weisgrau proposed to Victoria Monaco on the top of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy, in 2014. “The program is amazing,” Weisgrau said. “You learn so much.” More than 175 people have graduated from the program. Many have gone on to participate in alumni hikes and share other educational experiences. While exploring the outdoors and learning about the San Dieguito Watershed, Weisgrau and Monaco said the program is also a perfect way to meet new people — and their relationship is proof. “I found it very easy to talk to Vicki on the trail out in nature,” Weisgrau said. “Do the things you do anyway, and see who else is
there doing those same things,” he added. “You automatically have something in common.” Monaco agreed. “It was just a really nice setting,” she said. “It’s a great way to meet somebody.” The 2016-17 Exploring Our Sense of Place program is open for registration. The program is limited to 25 participants. The application fee is $250 per person or $450 per couple.

Dave Stubbs Real Estate, Inc. acquired by San Diego entrepreneur Jeffrey Dunham Dave Stubbs Real Estate, Inc., a 40year-old staple in the Solana Beach real estate community, was purchased recently by Jeffrey Dunham, a local entrepreneur and successful businessman. “As a long-time friend of Dave and Judi and as their financial adviser for 35 years,” said Dunham, “I have seen the company consistently serve the real estate and vacation rental needs of the Solana Beach market. I love the friendly and warm beach environment that is the Dave Stubbs brand and the personal touch the company offers its customers. I’m excited to expand the scope and reach of the company and I’m looking forward to injecting some fresh new ideas into the business to propel its growth.” Dunham bought his first property at age 15 with money he’d saved from his newspaper route; 39 years later, he’s been involved with more than $1 billion in real estate transactions ranging from shopping
centers, to office buildings, apartments, condos, vacation rentals, industrial spaces and single family homes. He is also the Chairman and CEO of Dunham Funds and Dunham Trust Company, for 30 years in the trust and investment business. “We are thrilled that Jeffrey has bought our business,” said Dave Stubbs. “We greatly respect him as a businessman and consider him a close friend. He truly appreciates the fun and friendly atmosphere we’ve cultivated over the years. We’re interested to see where he takes the company.” Dave Stubbs Real Estate, Inc. was established in 1976 by Dave and Judi Stubbs, who oversaw the sale of the first condominiums in Solana Beach. Seeing the huge potential available at the time, they expanded the business to include a property management and vacation rental division. Visit VacationBeachHomes.com to see vacation rentals and DaveStubbs.com to view properties for sale and for lease.
