Del Mar sets workshop on creating a police force BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Four years after starting to probe whether the county’s smallest city should have its own police force, Del Mar still has far more questions than answers — questions that city leaders hope to begin answering at its first public workshop on the topic. The workshop is set for 4 p.m. on July 10 at the city council’s temporary chambers, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Suite 100. Councilmembers will steer the workshop, posing questions to a panel of law enforcement experts. Residents are being encouraged to submit questions beforehand to Citymanager@delmar.ca.us. Public comment will follow the Q&A session. City Manager Scott Huth is still putting together the panel, but it so far includes members of the sheriff’s department, one of the consultants hired by Del Mar (a former police chief from Carmel by the Sea), and Del Mar’s city attorney, whose firm has extensive experience with the issue. Huth is adamant that the city is not advocating a position for or against, and that the advice from the panel is not a foregone conclusion. “Just because they’re in law enforcement, I don’t think the SEE POLICE, A26

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) recently completed its response to allegations that the Torrey Pines High School (TPHS) baseball team was in violation of district policies and state law. After an independent investigation by the Sobel Group, the district sent a response to the complainant Wendy Gumb that outlined there was no “pay to play”
culture in the baseball program but there were instances where district policies were not followed. “The report speaks for itself,” said TPHS Coach Kirk McCaskill. “I wouldn’t use the word ‘vindicated’ because I don’t feel like we did anything wrong. This process has been very frustrating from our perspective.” “I have nothing to be ashamed of,” SEE BASEBALL, A24
Special education parents continue to advocate for inclusion BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its Local Control Accountability Plan for the 2017-18 school year at its June 22 board meeting. The LCAP depicts district goals and actions to address state priorities and details how the district
will utilize state Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) supplemental funds for “high need” students, those that fall into categories of low-income students, English language learners and foster youth. Some special education parents have argued that the LCAP fails to address the needs of special education students, whom they believe to be the
highest need and most under-performing population in the district. While the LCAP is created with lots of stakeholder input, special education forum parents said the LCAP team met with them just once but didn’t ask for their input. At the previous June 8 board meeting, parents

Bluffs resort gets OK for ‘Specific Plan’ process BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The luxury resort proposed for the bluffs on the northern edge of Del Mar has been approved for a consolidated planning process that will allow its developers to design the project and seek city approvals at the same time, following in the procedural footsteps of the Del Mar Plaza, L’Auberge Del Mar and the Garden Del Mar project. The Del Mar City Council on June 19 agreed to
break the 16-acre parcel off into its own “Specific Plan” in order to streamline the years-long planning process that lies ahead for the lucrative project, possibly the last large piece of developable coastline property in San Diego County.

Judge allows man accused in child porn case to continue attending church BY JOE TASH A judge has ruled that Christian Clews, a Carmel Valley horse ranch owner who faces federal charges of possessing and distributing child pornography, can continue attending church services three days a week at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church. The ruling by Magistrate Judge Andrew Schopler followed a hearing in Schopler’s courtroom on Thursday, June 22. According to court documents, Clews and his family, who own Clews Horse Ranch, have attended the church for about 25 years, and Clews has continued to attend services there since his arrest in December on the child pornography charges. But a court document revealed that church members and parents at Notre
Dame Academy, a school for children from preschool to 8th grade next to the church, have been concerned about Clews’ proximity to children during his church visits. According to a court document, an attorney for the school testified at an earlier hearing before Schopler that there has been a significant drop-off in attendance at the school – which the attorney attributed to Clews’ presence – and some parents are keeping their children at home or dropping them off later to avoid Clews when he is at the church. Based on an order issued by Schopler on Monday, June 26, Clews can continue attending services on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, as well as Sunday mornings. But any time he is on church property, he must be accompanied by a member
of church staff or a non-family member approved by the court’s pre-trial services, Schopler wrote. Clews also is not allowed to sit next to anyone under age 18. Another hearing is set for Aug. 8. Schopler wrote that he is “strongly considering” restricting Clews to attending church services at St. Therese only on Saturdays and Sundays once the 2017-18 school year begins on Aug. 28. Clews is out of custody on bond, under home incarceration, and he must wear an electronic monitoring device. A trial date has not been set. The charges against Clews, a former member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group, stem from a two-year investigation by the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Parents, coaches express support for TPHS Foundation Some parents still have concerns about foundation’s role in sports, transparency BY KAREN BILLING When Nicole Baril’s children got to Torrey Pines High School, she had no idea what a foundation was. She thought the Torrey Pines High School Foundation had nothing to do with her, it did not impact her kids and it wasn’t something she needed to be a part of. But as her kids moved through the school she began to understand how the foundation impacts every program on campus and benefits every kid, whether their parents donate or not. “Nobody’s child is left out. It doesn’t work like that,” Baril said. Recently Baril completed her first full year as the executive director of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation and has focused on spreading the message about what the foundation really is, communicating with parents about what they are working toward and what they do. She has worked toward bringing more families together and building a community, getting rid of the annual fundraising gala that they used to hold because of the stigma that the event was exclusive. Instead she aimed for a more inclusive event, bringing everyone together on the Torrey Pines High School campus this year for the free Spring Fling event with student performances rather than paid entertainers. In addition to supporting sports, this year the

San Dieguito approves budget with $7.4 million deficit BY KAREN BILLING At the June 22 San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting, the district adopted the 2017-18 budget in a 3-1 vote, with John Salazar voting against it (board member Mo Muir was absent from the meeting). The budget reflects revenues of $95.9 million and expenditures of $103 million, representing a $7.4 million deficit. As board members commented, things often look worse at adoption than they are at the end of the year, as the district underestimates on revenue and overestimates on expenditures. “We do have those carryover types of dollars, we’re pretty conservative and we don’t reflect those at all until they come through and by the time we do we get our first interim actuals and start being able to reflect those, it fills in a lot of those holes,” SDUHSD board member Beth Hergesheimer said, noting that board members are able to feel comfortable about the budget because they have seen that pattern repeat itself over the years. Salazar was not convinced. Salazar said last year the district projected a deficit of $9 million and things didn’t materially change for the better — “This year we’re projecting a $7.5 million deficit, maybe things will change, maybe not,” he said. Salazar said he is asked to vote on the proposed budget, not on more money potentially coming in from state or cutting expenditures. Salazar said in the past programs didn’t get cut because there were
“robust” reserves, but he is concerned that the reserves are now in the single digits. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said that the district projects that it will be able to meet the required 3 percent level of reserves over the next three years. During public comment, parent Beth Westburg questioned how the district plans to increase revenue or decrease expenses in light of the deficit. She also expressed her concerns that the way the budget is structured is “not honest,” noting that the district does not budget all known expenses when they plan to receive donations to cover the cost of a program or item. “If the deficit is $9 million and you add in $2.5 million from the foundation, the deficit really is $11.2 million. The public needs to know that,” Westburg supplied as an example. “You have to be responsible and tell us exactly what your expenses are because Foundation money is not guaranteed. We need to know how much it costs to run the district.” Dill said that donation revenue has grown and shrunk over the years. During the recession, the foundations talked about their struggle to receive donations and that meant that both the foundations and the district scaled back on what they were able to offer. “Through all of that, our foundations never failed to live up to their promises on things they said they would fund,” Dill said. “But we do adjust our expectations based on what the foundations say their willingness SEE BUDGET, A26

New Pacific Highlands Ranch Park to be ‘community treasure’ BY KAREN BILLING The Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park, “part of the community, designed by the community,” celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony on June 23. The new 13-acre park with a recreation center is expected to open in September 2018 on Village Center Loop Road, a central, walkable location between Canyon Crest Academy and Pacific Trails Middle School, across from the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Today’s a very exciting day for us as we’ve kicked off this community park which is a great asset to this overall Pacific Highlands community,” said Pardee Homes Division President Jimmy Ayala. “The overall Pacific Highlands Ranch community is doing extremely well. There’s a tremendous amount of activity and investment, homes are selling and there’s retail doing well. The community is really developing better than we thought it would and our vision from 1998 is really coming together. As part of our vision, this community park plays a key role in that.” Andrew Field, the assistant director of the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, said the park is “just packed with good stuff” thanks to a very involved

and inclusive community planning process. Designed by Glen Schmidt, the park will have a large, 5-acre lit turf field that can accommodate a variety of sports from baseball to rugby, a spacious recreation center that can host classes, camps and community events, outdoor basketball courts, a traditional children’s playground and a
parkour are. “This is definitely going to be a unique park,” she remarked. Jim Gabriel, of Hanna Gabriel Architects, designed the recreation center: a “soft modern” structure with a broad roof drawing in textures and materials from the surrounding area, such as white stucco, warm wood framing, and a tile and weathered steel roof. The
discovery area, multiple areas for teenagers, and even space for dogs, both large and small. The park will also feature the city’s first free public parkour area (a military obstacle course-style training discipline) and bike pump track. Councilmember Barbara Bry said she had just learned that day about what a bike pump track and
gym building and multi-purpose building will be linked by an enclosed patio. A central promenade will link the park to the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch and future library across the street. In his comments, Field thanked longtime community volunteers Allen Kashani, from Pardee Homes, and Ken Farinsky for their involvement in the design committee. Field said he has worked with Farinsky for over 15 years on parks and recreation and community planning boards. “He’s been Mr. Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch,” Field said. “He’s always thinking of community first and volunteering to help make things better.” Farinsky said over the last 15 to 20 years he has been on many park design committees but this is the one he is most excited about. The PHR Community Park Committee included locals Chris Powell, Danielle McCallion, Scott Curry, Manjeet Ranu, Dan Curran, representing Coast Income Properties and neighboring Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, and John Addleman from the San Dieguito Union High School District.

Physicist Sir Roger Penrose discusses the universe at UCSD lecture Takeaway: Computers will never equal the human mind BY WILL BOWEN If you are worried that the day is coming when computers, robots and cyborgs will take over our world and tell us what to do — relax! You can put your mind at ease. According to Sir Robert Penrose, a mathematical physicist from Oxford University in England and a longtime collaborator of Stephen Hawking, even though computers may think way faster than we do and easily beat us in chess, they will never equal the human mind. This is because the human mind has “quantum” abilities and can make quantum leaps of insight, understanding and creativity, while the computer (being only a linear ultra-rational dull plodder with a simple binary — on/off, yes/no, 0/1 — paradigm) can only do what it’s told. At least until scientists build a quantum gravity computer that, like us, can think in six directions at once and link completely unrelated topics (think ham bones and harmonicas), which is just what they’re planning on doing right here in La Jolla! Penrose spoke about these issues and other deep topics, June 5, as a guest of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination at Hojel Auditorium at the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego campus. He jumped right into the thick of things discussing quantum mechanics, relativity,

Among other things, Sir Roger Penrose discusses quantum mechanics, string theory, googolplexes, Riemann spheres, twistors, Planck units and Schrödinger’s cats, June 5, at the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego campus. superimposition, entanglement, black holes, string theory, googolplexes, particle accelerators, Riemann spheres, twistors, Planck units and Schrödinger’s cats. Although his discourse spared no one their ignorance of physics and was understandable by only a rare few, the slides he showed of simple and elegant drawings he made of things like electron guns, particle accelerators and black holes were marvelous and mesmerizing. Penrose’s artistic side can also be seen in his interlocking Escher-like tiles, which adorn the mathematics building at Oxford and will shortly be installed at the main transit terminal in San Francisco.
Penrose said when he was younger, he and his father shared ideas with the great 3D-illusion artist M.C. Escher, and influenced him to do some of his greatest work, such as the painting “Waterfall,” which shows an impossible scene of a fall feeding itself. Associate director of the Clarke Center and a professor of neuroscience at the UCSD School of Medicine, Erik Viirre, M.D., Ph.D., introduced the evening’s events. Viirre said the Clarke Center, which is now five years old, was created to bring together the subjects of cosmology, physics, visual art and neuroscience to shed light on the act of imagination and to honor the memory of
British science fiction writer and futurist, Arthur C. Clarke. The Clarke Center is intimately connected with the Clarion Science Fiction Writer’s Workshop (the oldest and best of its kind) and Viirre boasted that UCSD has more award-winning science fiction writers than any other university in the world. Viirre shared that he met Clarke 15 years ago at Clarke’s home in Sri Lanka. He then posed the question to the audience: “Who here has had their life changed by Arthur C. Clarke?” About five people raised their hands, including Penrose. SEE ROGER PENROSE, A23

Local couple devoted to helping foster youth
BY JOE TASH When their children grow up and require less attention, many people take up a hobby. But Del Mar residents Bill and Gretchen Morgan took on a cause — helping foster youth transition to independent lives. For the past several years, the Morgans have worked with their church, Solana Beach Presbyterian, and local nonprofit groups on a variety of programs aimed at helping foster youth in San Diego County deal with a variety of challenges. One of their favorite endeavors is through a group called Just in Time for Foster Youth, which has the “My First Home” program to assist young adults in the county’s foster youth system transition to their own apartments. Volunteers such as the Morgans gather donations, buy household items from furniture to kitchen and bathroom supplies, and help the newly independent adults move into their new apartments. “We come in and we provide everything,” said Gretchen, 56, who runs her own accounting business when she isn’t organizing some type of effort to help foster youth. “It’s really fun.” Over the past several years, she said, the couple has helped about 25 young adults who have aged out of the foster care system move into their own apartments. But the work doesn’t stop there. The couple are involved in such activities as helping foster youth get driver’s licenses and prepare for job interviews, and they also help

Bill, 63, a former college swimming coach who now works in residential real estate sales, said the various programs provide a community to support foster youth as they strive for successful lives, whether that means a college education or a good job. “We love it because we are able to be part of that community, it’s fulfilling, it’s exciting,” said Bill. “You get to do things that have an impact on their lives going forward.” Other services that groups such as Just in Time provide are helping foster youth learn to manage their finances, establish credit and
save the money for an apartment security deposit. “A lot of these kids can end up homeless without this kind of support,” said Bill. The work of volunteers such as the Morgans is essential to providing the support that foster youth need, according to Don Wells, executive director of Just in Time for Foster Youth. “Just in Time would be unable to serve over 700 individual young people each year without the commitment of resources and relationships provided by volunteers like Bill and Gretchen. They truly create the extended family we hope for that changes the perspective of transition-age youth who have been disappointed so many times in the past
by people who ‘didn’t show up.’ Bill and Gretchen show up, year after year in exceptional ways,” Wells wrote in an email. Gretchen said she first became involved in helping foster youth in her 20s, but then put aside that volunteer work as she and her husband raised their two daughters, both of whom have now graduated from college. Several years ago, she joined the Foster Youth Ministry at her church, a group she now leads. Among the church group’s efforts is hosting an annual Christmas celebration for foster youth, including a party, complete with gifts and stockings. The couple have even rented a storage unit where they keep donated furniture and household items which are used to furnish the apartments of newly independent foster youth. Providing a support community is so important for foster youth, said Bill, because many of them don’t have the family support that other young people enjoy. And leaving them without support can have negative impacts, such as causing them to forego an education or even end up on the street. “We really believe it’s important for the community to be involved. We need individuals in the community to understand the depth of the problem and the depth of the need,” Bill said. Those who want more information about the various foster youth programs, or to donate furniture or other items, can contact Gretchen at gmorgan@gretchenmorgan.com.

Bestselling author remembers Paris in upcoming anthology BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY or most people, Paris is often thought of as a romantic, spontaneous city. For Michelle Gable, a trip to the city in France proved stressful and a little too planned. But it all paid off in the end. Gable, who lives in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, recounts her 2014 trip to Paris with her husband, parents and two young daughters in a story called "Too Much Paris" that is part of an upcoming anthology, "A Paris All Your Own." The book, which includes several Paris-themed essays written by celebrated female authors and edited by Eleanor Brown, will be released July 4. Gable, a Torrey Pines High School alumna who began writing as a child and who formerly worked in finance, said she's excited to be included. "Eleanor Brown decided she wanted to put together an anthology of authors who wrote fiction about Paris," she explained. "We were each tasked with writing a memoir piece of sorts of 20 to 25 pages." The anthology also includes stories by Meg Waite Clayton, M.J. Rose, Susan Vreeland, J. Courtney Sullivan, Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler, Lauren Willig and Julie Powell.

They will matriculate at 69 different institutions, with several pursuing travel or study prior to their enrollment in full-time college study. Several Carmel Valley students won Commencement awards, including Julienne Jeong who was given The Robert Wolterstorff Community Service Award to recognize her community service efforts (the award is a tribute to the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese in San Diego, The Rt.

Michelle Gable, a Cardiff-by-the-Sea-based author, shares a non-fiction story about a Paris vacation in an upcoming anthology, “A Paris All Your Own.” In her story, which Gable said is more on the humorous side than the others, she narrates a trip to Paris, which she took with her family to celebrate selling her first published novel, "A Paris Apartment," which was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller. Unfortunately, she and her family had different expectations of the sites they would see and the activities they would participate in, so the trip ended

up being more of a headache, Gable remembers. "We weren't having fun because we were running all over the city," the 42-year-old said. "We learned the difference between a vacation and traveling. It wasn't relaxing but, in the end, it was worth it." Gable, who also wrote the fictional novel "I'll See You in Paris," said she believes many mothers can relate to this story because of the flurry of activity that can surround a vacation. She described the writing process of "Too Much Paris" as cathartic and fun because it gave her a chance to express her family members on paper. However, she also said it was difficult to describe their personalities in the 20 or so pages she was allotted. "I joke that I must have something that I'm still holding onto," she said. "It was really fun to get out." A book release event, which Gable will be present at, will take place July 13 from 4 p.m.-5: 30 p.m. at Le Parfait Paris, 555 G. Street in San Diego. The cost is $40. (A 6:30 p.m. seating is sold out.) Other authors attending the event include Jennifer Coburn, Eleanor Brown and Susan Vreeland. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/2rleYmP.

Opening Day of the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar in 1936.
Scholarship named after Del Mar resident awarded to local teen Going to the fair this weekend? Del Mar History:
F
Did you know that ...
rom 1880 to 1930 the San Diego County Fair was held in a different city every year from Escondido to Coronado. In 1933 the 22nd Agricultural District purchased the failing Hotel Del Mar Golf Course (241 acres) which was situated in the San Dieguito River Valley from the South Coast Land Company for $35,000. With storms, salt marshes, and flooded greens, the golf course was tough to maintain. It soon became the site of the first permanent Fairgrounds and soon-to-be built Del Mar Racetrack. With a WPA grant of $500,000, work began
immediately, and the 10-day fair opened Oct. 8, 1936. The rest is history as they say! Enjoy the fair this last weekend and think about its history! Thanks to Nancy Ewing and her book Del Mar Looking Back for all the good history. For more information about her book and the Del Mar Historical Society, go to www.delmarhistoricalsociety.org or drop us a note at 225 9th St., Del Mar, CA 92014 or email info@delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

Lucas Weed, a recent graduate of The School for Entrepreneurship & Technology (SET), received The Robert Baizer Scholarship at the school’s graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 10, in Balboa Park. The scholarship is named after Del Mar resident Robert Baizer, SET’s first board chair. Weed, who was co-valedictorian of his class this year, will attend the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) in the fall and plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering to further his passion for the field of robotics. Weed participated in SET’s First Tech Challenge robotics program for all four years as a student and increased his involvement each year becoming a team captain of one of the student teams as a senior and also
participating in post-season outreach events helping to promote the school and the First Tech Challenge program to the public. Weed is also active in his church, serving as a youth chaplain and camp counselor, as well as serving as a member of the church’s board of directors — the youngest member to have served in that position. Eventually, Weed would like to work at SpaceX as a mechanical engineer. He plans to build his resume during college through undergraduate research and co-ops at local businesses to prepare for a transition from college to SpaceX. “During my four years attending SET, I have grown and learned more than I imagined I would have when I was a SEE SCHOLARSHIP, A23

CCHS football standout Tate Haynes takes on a new role
BY GIDEON RUBIN The quarterback of Cathedral Catholic High School’s football team helped pull off one of the most stunning comebacks in state championship history. Tate Haynes drew on summer camp training drills with ex-Marines and team meetings with a sports psychologist that instilled in him and his teammates the indefatigable mindset that they enlisted in overcoming a 14-point fourth quarter deficit in 38-35 overtime victory over St. Mary’s of Stockton in the Dec. 16 Open Division 1-AA championship game at Sacramento State. The comeback win culminated a perfect 15-0 season. “We had been down before,” Tate said. “I don’t think there were many people that didn’t think we were going to win that game.” Tate, now an incoming Boston College freshman prospect, is taking on a new role outside of sports. Tate is spending part of his summer teaming up with his father, NFL Hall of Famer Mike Haynes, on a prostate cancer awareness campaign. Mark Haynes is a prostate cancer survivor. The Urology Care Foundation (the official foundation of the American Urological Association) sponsors the campaign annually in June, which is Men’s Health Month. It is the first time Tate has been involved in the campaign, appearing with his father on radio and TV interviews. Mark Haynes, now 63, was 55 at the time of his diagnosis. His doctors caught the

disease early and were able to treat it. Tate said his father played a big role in his football and life development. The young football prospect is also a talented musician, playing piano and guitar, performing at private parties. “He really just helped me more as a life coach the last four years,” Tate said. “I can’t even imagine what my high school career would have been like without dad around.” It is an important reason why Tate has joined the campaign. His goal is to help educate people about the disease and encourage men to discuss it with their doctors.
Tate Haynes (second from left at graduation) with his family. “For dads who are listening, anything that’ll just get them to have a simple conversation with the doctor, it all starts with a simple conversation,” Tate said. The conversation could save lives. Mark Haynes acknowledged that the disease didn’t register on his radar at the time of his diagnosis. “When I was diagnosed with the disease I’d never heard of prostate cancer, I didn’t even know where a prostate was located in my body,” he said. “I had no idea what the organ actually did for me.” As a teenager, Tate is not at risk of developing the disease anytime soon. But
his involvement in the awareness campaign can make an important difference, recruiting young people to be involved in a conversation that impacts family members of those who experience the disease. “It affects families, so the more people who know about the disease, men and women, boys and girls, the more likely they’re going to catch the disease when it’s treatable. That’s really the goal, that’s our goal, to change the discussion, to change the amount of the discussions. “The more young people we can get involved and the more women we can get involved, the more the message can spread.” Tate counts his father’s presence in his life as a blessing. Having an NFL Hall of Famer to learn about the game from across the dinner table is a resource few have. Through his father, Tate has met other former and current NFL standouts, including Tom Brady. He’ll continue to draw on what he’s learned from his father as he takes his career to the East Coast. “I’m excited, it’ll be a new chapter in my life,” Tate said. “It’ll be tough leaving home but I’m excited about Boston and the new opportunities and new friendships that I’m going to build.” He’ll also draw on his experience being part of a season for the ages at Cathedral Catholic. “It’s great if your team is really close, and it’s great if you have a team with great athletes, but if you have a team with great athletes and they’re all best friends, it’s like a match made in heaven for a perfect season.”

North Shore 10U Gold champions of Rancho Bernardo Softball Tournament WHAT’S BEING PLANNED? The California Department of Transportation – District 11 (Caltrans) is proposing improvements to provide a connection between southbound I-5 to eastbound SR-56, and between westbound SR-56 to northbound I-5 in San Diego. The proposed project covers a combined distance of 4.6 miles. The alternatives under consideration are the Direct Connector Alternative, the Auxiliary Lane Alternative, the Hybrid Alternative, the Hybrid with Flyover Alternative, and the No Build Alternative. Potential benefits include maintaining or improving the existing and future traffic operations over future no build conditions in the I-5 and SR-56 corridors, improving the efficient local and regional movement of people and goods, while minimizing environmental and community impacts. Potential proposed project impacts include: visual/aesthetics, cultural resources, paleontology, noise, and natural communities. The Direct Connector is identified as the preferred alternative. The proposed project is a joint project by Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and is subject to state and federal environmental review requirements. A Final Environmental Impact Report / Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared in compliance with both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to disclose potential impacts that may result from implementation of the proposed project. FHWA’s responsibility under NEPA to disclose potential impacts that may result from the implementation of the proposed project. FHWA’s responsibility under NEPA to disclose potential impacts that may result from the implementation of the proposed project. FHWA’s responsibility under NEPA for environmental review, consultation, and any other actions required by applicable environmental federal laws for this project is being, or was, carried out by Caltrans pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated December 23, 2016 and executed by FHWA and Caltrans.

North Shore 8U Gold team captures second place in Rancho Bernardo Looking to build on recent momentum, the North Shore 8U gold softball team went into the Rancho Bernardo Grand Slam Summer Jam tournament with high expectations. And they were not disappointed. In their first pool game, they beat tournament host RB 4 - 1. The next morning they rolled through Rancho San Diego 5 - 0. Their #1 seed in bracket play lined them up with a rematch of RB.
North Shore persevered in a tight battle 3 - 2. The win brought them to the championship game against a seasoned Downey squad. North Shore battled them hard, but in the end the scoreboard tipped Downey’s way 1 - 6. The team received solid pitching and played lock-down defense all weekend and were excited to take home their second tournament trophies. Next stop: Districts!

Kevin Nealon on Carson, Trump and how San Diego helped launch his career BY ROB LEDONNE When Kevin Nealon departed his native Connecticut in hopes of launching a career in show business in the late 1970s, his first thought wasn’t to head to Los Angeles. “When I moved out west, I kind of landed San Diego,” says Nealon, who lived in North Park. “I worked for a temporary-help agency called Manpower down there. They got me a job as a department store Santa Claus, and for a week, I worked at the San Diego Zoo at the reptile cage. It was crazy because I was 24, and I didn’t look anything like Santa. I remember the kids would be so scared they’d actually pee on my lap.” Nealon has carved out a career in comedy since those fraught holidays posing as Ol’ Saint Nick, maintaining both his relevance and an edge throughout the intervening decades. Despite his impressive résumé — from his run on “Saturday Night Live” from 1986 to 1995 to his star turns on the Showtime cult hit “Weeds” and the current CBS sitcom hit “Man With a Plan” — it was a single appearance that Nealon holds in higher regard than
them all. After pursuing stand-up for seven years, the budding star scored a segment on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” in 1984, the equivalent of reaching the peak of Mount Everest for any comedian. “My dream was to do Carson. That came to fruition, and I don’t think anything has kind of superseded it. It was the highlight of my career,” says Nealon, who first flexed his comedic muscles in San Diego, both performing and enjoying shows at the former Improv or the La Jolla Comedy Store. “Learning how to do stand-up was easy because I enjoyed what I was doing,” Nealon says. “I remember the first time I ran into Eddie Vedder and he said, ‘Dude, I used to come and watch you at the Improv. I’d surf down in San Diego and at the end of the day I’d see you!’ I enjoyed developing a style and coming up with stand-up, learning how to get comfortable onstage and performing in general.” It’s those principles that Nealon uses to this day, including the current stand-up tour that brought

I’ve heard friends say that my comedy kind of sneaks up on you and hits you over the head a few seconds later. It’s nonthreatening, absurd observations and notions. I’m not going to be (my foul-mouthed character) Doug Wilson from ‘Weeds.’”
As for whether he misses his perch anchoring “Weekend Update” on “SNL” poking fun at the politicians of the day, Nealon says he’s mostly had his fill. “Sometimes I’ll miss it, but not often. Thankfully I have a diverse interest in show business. I get to do a lot, so I’m not pigeonholed into one thing. I stay excited all the time, so I’m really lucky.” That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have thoughts about a certain

omnipresent target of many comedians’ jokes. “Typically I’m not a political pundit, but if something’s funny and I come up with it, I’ll say it,” Nealon explains. “I did a line the other night: ‘I used to believe that anyone could grow up to be president. Now I believe that you never have to grow up to be president.’” Visit kevinnealon.com. Rob LeDonne is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

The second year of the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s adaptive surfing camp brought 10 kids and their parents to Del Mar from June 22-24. A $250,000 grant from the Junior Seau Foundation funded the camp’s first two years and will keep the program afloat for two more summers.
Adaptive surfers are riding a rising wave BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The scene in front of the Del Mar Lifeguard station on Friday morning, June 23, at first glance looked much like any other: a handful of parents fussing over their fidgeting kids, eye rolls and grimaces aplenty as they squeeze into wetsuits and smeared on sunscreen. But then a closer look: volunteers flit from child to child in a blur of hugs and high-fives, showing off various prosthetics and specialized surfboards to see which might fit them best. Soon, the 10 kids, their parents, and two dozen shaggy-haired surfers whir into increasingly excited commotion as they venture out into the choppy waist-high surf. Welcome to Day Two of the two-day youth surfing camp by the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Thanks to a $250,000 grant from the Junior Seau Foundation, the Sorrento Valley-based CAF launched the camp last summer to introduce surfing to physically-challenged kids, recruiting families from San Diego, Los Angeles County and as far away as Toronto, Canada. Sure, Casey Townsend first put her daughter Adelynn’s wetsuit on backwards. And sure, CAF’s Travis Ricks had to try a few options before getting her prosthetic just right. But being from a small town tucked away in northeast Oregon, the morning’s woes are a problem Townsend felt lucky to have. “It just makes your heart happy. You sit here and you soak it all in: how amazing,” Casey said a few minutes later as she watched Adelynn, 12, beam with joy in the whitewash. “These people are like angels on earth helping our children be immersed in things other kids can do. As a parent you’re taken aback. Look at her: she’s a happy little thing. She loves it out here.” Like Adelynn, most of the kids were new to the sport, and cheers went up whenever one of them caught even a moment’s ride. But they only had to look as far as Alana Nichols and Mike Coots to
see the surfing heights to which they can aspire. Nichols, a San Diego resident, had paddled out to the offshore break, dropping in on one long ride after another. She broke her back snowboarding in 2000, and after two admittedly dark years, CAF gave her a wheelchair and helped rekindle her competitive fire. She’s since competed in five Paralympic Games — in wheelchair basketball, skiing, and sprint kayaking — claiming three gold medals in all. Coots, meanwhile, is on this morning, more than happy to stay in the shorebreak with the kids. It’s been 15 years since a tiger shark took the bottom half of his right leg in the surf off Kauai, and he’s now one of adaptive surfing’s most active ambassadors, traveling the world to compete and to photograph the sport’s elite. But for one blissful moment on Friday, all that couldn’t hold a candle to his role in helping one of the campers catch his first-ever ride. “It was better than any wave I caught all winter long in Hawaii,” Coots said. “To see him get his first wave, his father on the beach with the biggest smile ever — there’s nothing like that in the world. For me to be a part of it, it felt like I was riding my first wave for the very first time.” Opportunities like those were in despairingly short supply when he decided to get back into the water after his 2002 shark attack. “When I started, there was nothing,” he said. “I would Google ‘surfing with a prosthetic’ and no images would appear. It was an empty search.” As he spoke, many of the sport’s best were at the Australian Adaptive Surfing Championships. Brazil hosts several adaptive surfing competitions. After an event in Hawaii next month, Coots and the world’s best will face off at the ISA World Adaptive Surfing Championships, which returns to La Jolla from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. “Everything is going at such a fast pace.
There’s a lot of events happening worldwide and I think there will be a tour here very soon,” Coots said. “There’s a lot of momentum building on this wave. It’s an exciting time to be an adaptive surfer.” And with surfing set to make its Olympic debut at the 2020 games in Japan, hopes are high that adaptive surfing will make it into the Paralympic Games four years later — at which Coots is bound and determined to bring home gold for Team USA. Not if Kumaka Jensen has anything to say about it. The Orange County 10-year-old’s confidence was sky high on Friday after paddling into a wave on his own for the first time. And with his dad Stewart’s careful coaching, he figures it’ll be no time at all before he’s catching waves alongside his four brothers on the many surfing trips they’ll be taking between now and 2024. He does some quick math: he’ll be 17 by then. When asked if he’ll be ready, he could only answer a big, resounding, unhesitating: “Yes!”

Local students take learning and service global with Pacific Ridge travel program Carmel Valley resident Claire Sinow and Encinitas resident Chris Verheem are two of the more than 570 Pacific Ridge School students and staff who spent the past few weeks experiencing academic, service, and cultural experiences abroad. Pacific Ridge senior Claire Sinow and her classmates traveled to Cuba, which recently opened to American visitors for the first time in nearly 60 years. In addition to immersing themselves in Cuba’s vibrant history and culture, students spent time painting and repairing buildings at a home for the disabled and delivering food to local disabled residents. They also hosted English lessons for interested citizens. Through the lessons and impromptu music exchanges, students enjoyed a friendly, sometimes emotional connection with the Cuban community. In their downtime, students made sure to visit some of Cuba’s beautiful beaches and sample the delectable local cuisine. In another country, senior Chris
Verheem was learning about the Syrian refugee crisis. Verheem and his classmates spent two weeks meeting with non-governmental organizations in Greece to learn about the refugee crisis firsthand. They traveled to Athens, Thessaloniki and the islands of Lesvos and Hydra to investigate and document untold stories from the crisis. They interviewed aid workers, authors and Greek citizens of different political affiliations, then created film documentaries about the multi-faceted issue. While in Athens, students also heard firsthand about the debt crisis faced by Greece and its relationship to the refugee situation. In addition to their focus on refugees, students visited important sites from antiquity, ate delicious Greek fare and experienced the country’s natural beauty through hiking and sea kayaking. Sinow and Verheem weren’t the only local residents to take part in Pacific Ridge SEE TRAVEL, A26

June is National Cancer Survivor month
C
ancer kills roughly 595,000 persons annually, second only to heart disease (610,000). More than 1.6 million Americans will be diagnosed with a cancer this year. There are projections that cancer deaths will surpass heart disease deaths nationally by 2030, though similar previous projections have not come to pass and the obesity epidemic likely ensures heart disease will continue to be an expansive killer. These are sobering statistics, to be sure, but there is good news, too. Both new cases of cancer and cancer-related deaths have broadly and steadily declined over the last 25 years in the United States, if not worldwide. The chance that you’ll develop cancer in your lifetime is not insubstantial. Approximately 38.5 percent of men and women will be diagnosed at some point during their lives with some type of cancer there are more than 200 types. Risk varies, of course. Men get cancer more often than women, generally speaking. Black men have a higher rate than white men, but the opposite is true among white and black
women. The most likely years of diagnosis are between age 55 and 74, with a median age of 66. But every cancer is different in every patient, and many factors affect prognosis, such as cancer type, stage of the disease and whether it has spread to other parts of the body, the cancer’s grade (an indicator of its aggressiveness), age, health status at time of diagnosis and, of course, how the patient responds to treatment. In diagnosing and prognosing, doctors may refer to a variety of different statistics about survival: • Cancer-specific survival is the percentage of patients with a specific type and state of cancer who have not died from their cancer during a certain period of time after diagnosis. It might be one year, two years or five. • Relative survival measures the percentage of cancer patients who have survived for a certain period of time after diagnosis compared to people who do not have cancer. • Overall survival is the percentage of people with a specific type and state of cancer who have not died from any cause
during a certain period of time after diagnosis. • Disease-free survival is the percentage of patients who have no signs of cancer during a certain period of time after treatment. June is National Cancer Survivor month, which happily means a lot to a lot of people. The 5-year survival rate (one of the most commonly used measures) is now 67 percent for all cancers, up from just 48.7 percent in 1975 when President Nixon declared war on the disease. In 2014, the latest year with full data, there were an estimated 15 million Americans living with cancer. There are a lot of reasons for the improvement, from the development of breakthrough drugs like Gleevac to treat some leukemias to new approaches like immunotherapy and stem cells that leverage the innate powers of the human body. But no less important are early detection and prevention through screening methods like colonoscopies and mammographies. They result in early treatment that can avoid much of the trauma, cost and distress of discovering later-stage cancers. There is another screening method that is not as widely used, but has the potential to generate similar benefit: low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), a special kind of imaging technology capable of producing both two- and three-dimensional images. It is faster and more detailed than a standard X-ray. Low-dose means it generates one-eighth of the ionizing radiation than conventional CT.
A 2011 study found that LDCT screening of high-risk individuals would reduce lung cancer mortality by 20 percent compared to standard chest X-rays. A high-risk individual is someone age 55 with a long history of heavy smoking (more than 30 pack-years; a pack-year is equal to smoking 20 cigarettes per day for one year), a current smoker or someone who quit within the past 15 years. At least 8.6 million Americans fit that description. If half of them were screened, it’s estimated more than 13,000 cancer deaths could be prevented. Mark Onaitis, M.D., is a nationally recognized thoracic surgeon recently recruited from Duke University. “We’re very excited to offer LDCT screening for lung cancer at UC San Diego. This is a very effective way to find lung cancer while it is still curable with surgery or radiation. Our program also offers smoking cessation assistance. This is the first comprehensive program in San Diego County that combines screening and smoking cessation and an approved lung cancer screening registry to track patient outcomes. This will help many current and former smokers.” This month, we celebrate all cancer survivors. We also urge them to continue to be screened, especially those at high risk. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the frontlines of cancer research and care often appears the fourth Thursday of each month.

Setting the record straight
A
complimentary email from a reader about my recent columns concluded with a P.S. that surprised me: “I know you’re Republican but …” Then there was a critical reader who wrote anonymously online that my columns should be dismissed because I’m a “biased conservative” journalist. Biased I own. I’m an opinion columnist. But conservative? Those who know me found it laughable. I’ve been called a lot of names over the years, but this is the first time I’ve ever been called a Republican or a conservative. Let me set the record straight: I am not
politically conservative or Republican. I have never voted for a Republican in a partisan race, ever. Once, I confess, I did register Republican. That was in 1980 so I could vote for my political hero John Anderson who was running for president at the time. Once he went independent, I re-registered where I’m at today — No Party Preference. That does not mean that in non-partisan races I don’t sometimes vote for someone who incidentally happens to be Republican. When I know the candidates personally and am convinced of no agenda to attack the social causes dear to my heart, I’ll do it.
www.delmartimes.net Many are registered Republicans primarily because they believe in strong fiscal policy and are not interested in limiting or infringing upon the rights of women, gays, immigrants or minorities. Women’s rights, religious freedom, free speech, tougher gun control laws, sexual orientation, the ACLU, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, universal health care, and separation of church and state are tops on my list. A conservative clearly I am not. But tops also on my list is accountability in government spending — which apparently trumps everything else I stand for and places me in the Republican camp. Many of us are socially liberal and fiscally conservative — or as I prefer to say, fiscally responsible. This is the problem. Why is it hard to accept that people can hold two seemingly opposing viewpoints at the same time? In public education, teachers unions have done an excellent job of polarizing people into two strict classifications. Anyone who opposes union policies must be against students — and SEE EDUCATION MATTERS, A23
OUR READERS WRITE Short-term rentals have long played a key role in Del Mar Del Mar’s recent attempt to restrict residents’ renting of their homes for less then 30 days is yet another alarming example of the exclusionary direction our local government is trying to take Del Mar without concern for what is actually best for Del Mar. For 45 years I have been a permanent resident of Del Mar, dating back to when Camino Del Mar was a 55 mph, four-lane highway, there was gas station on the corner of 15th street and 101, and Jimmy Durante was not just a boulevard but a living, breathing person. Since the 1930s, vacation rentals have served a very specific role... a gateway for those that wish to experience Del Mar’s truly unique coastal feel. I can tell you firsthand that these short-term rentals have not proliferated in the immediate residential beach zones of Del Mar as both the City Council and some squeaky wheel citizens would have you believe. Vacation rentals have always been prolific and popular in this area and even though the draw for these rentals has changed from Del Mar Racetrack goers in the 1930s - 1990s to family beach goers today, the volume of these rentals has not changed like is being suggested. This small group of citizens seeking to make Del Mar fit their idyllic image of an enclave exclusive to them are missing the point of what Del Mar is and has always been. A wonderful destination for people wanting to experience, even for a brief moment, Southern California. Sun, sand, ponies, laughter and family moments frozen in time... That is what Del Mar is really about and to try and deny that to others is frankly disgusting and not at all what we, as a community, should be about.
While I myself do not own a short-term rental (STR), even I recognize the key role they play and have always played in making Del Mar the special dot on the map it is and I feel compelled to defend the basic rights of all property owners to own, use and enjoy their hard- earned homes when under siege by a misdirected elite few and a governmental body led astray of what is best for this community. Del Mar is being led down a dangerous path. Eric Charnholm President, Del Mar Alliance for the Preservation of Beach Access and Village
Memoir of a failed Solana Beach candidacy Since our incorporation in 1986, wherever possible, I’ve worked to create a greater sense of community here in Solana Beach. I was persuaded to run for City Council in last November’s election. Although this isn’t the place to go into why I “lost by a landslide,” the following were among the main ideas that I would have promoted. 1. We are relatively unknown outside of Solana Beach. It seems to me that it would enhance our sense of identity if Lomas Santa Fe were to be renamed Solana Beach Drive west of the freeway. After all, there’s La Jolla Village Drive, Del Mar Heights Rd., Encinitas Blvd., Carlsbad Blvd., and Oceanside Blvd. Many drivers on I-5 don’t know how to get to Solana Beach? 2. Our City Council rotates the position of Mayor every year. When I randomly surveyed folks in town, most could not even name our Mayor. Our Mayor, a largely ceremonial position, should become a four-year position. It should be someone with an outgoing personality who can be spontaneous and welcoming at civic
functions, at ribbon-cuttings, at schools, as well as being someone who can be an effective good-will ambassador for Solana Beach. 3. Surprisingly, most folks in Solana Beach don’t know that we have an official city song. It was unanimously adopted by our City Council in 2006! It’s a catchy tune (certainly as catchy as “Jingle Bells”) that celebrates our unique culture along with the many virtues of living in Solana Beach. To create a greater sense of inclusion in our terrific community, it should be included at such events as Little League games, the Fiesta del Sol, Concerts at the Cove, our Beach Blanket Movie Nights, and at city anniversary celebrations. Our National Anthem creates a sense of pride in our country. Including our city song, “Solana Beach, Our City Proud,” in community events would certainly add to our pride in living here. We’ve consistently had a very progressive city government led by committed councilmembers. I would like to respectfully suggest that they publicly consider the above ideas that I would have promoted had I been elected to our City Council.

FROM EDUCATION MATTERS, A22 therefore is labeled ultra-conservative. People are more complicated than 100 percent one way or the other and cannot be pigeonholed into clearly defined categories with solid boundaries. These are false dichotomies. No one is that one-dimensional. Unions represent teacher interests, not students first. Those of us who point this out are labeled as something we are not. More and more self-identified liberals have come to believe that many union policies have not been good for public education. These same people can defend and champion hard-working teachers while simultaneously casting a wary eye on union motives. Twisted logic Criticizing school board members who happen to be Democrats and are aligned with union demands does not mean one is anti-teacher. It can simply mean opposition to reckless spending of taxpayer money. And there’s been plenty of that in local school districts. In the San Dieguito Union High School District, the vast majority of teachers are excellent, committed, devoted even, to their students and public education. But many of us who applaud the work teachers do were
appalled when the school board approved the 12.5 percent wage increase in the last union contract. To call that irresponsible is not the same as saying teachers are not respected. Teachers picketing outside San Dieguito board meetings last fall held signs blasting SDUHSD trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar, one of which read: “John Salazar voted against district fiscal solvency.” Given rising pension costs and declining reserves in the district’s general fund, it’s twisted logic to claim that Salazar voted against fiscal solvency. Rather, it’s the board majority who “voted against district fiscal solvency” by approving the massive raise for all employees, not just teachers, which is costing the district $6.5 million annually. I don’t agree with everything the board minority says or does, but in this case they were right to oppose the massive wage increases. In a letter to the editor in this newspaper last fall, a writer said, “When an overwhelming number of my district’s teachers do not support, do not trust, and do not have any confidence in Muir’s and Salazar’s leadership, it should be of great concern to all our community.” A bit of reframing is in order. If the local union and its teachers take a position against particular school board members, it should cause voters to
ask themselves why the union doesn’t like them. That’s where the concern should be. Unions use their power and significant financial influence to persuade voters to elect school board members who are in effect the teachers’ bosses. Nice and cozy. Teachers unions like to claim the moral high ground, saying they represent the best interests of students. But unions exist to promote policies on behalf of teachers. Using children as pawns to advance their own union interests is a manipulative tool that attempts to guilt citizens into voting for hand-picked school board members who are fully aligned with the union. There has been a dereliction of duty by school board members who vote lockstep with union positions, to the detriment of school district financial stability. In San Dieguito, escalating pension contributions and dwindling reserves, coupled with increased reliance on parent donations, prove the point. Is it possible to recognize unions and sympathetic/accommodating/compliant school board members for what they are — and still care deeply about students, teachers and the future of public education? I believe the answer is yes. Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM OUR READERS WRITE, A22 June.” Santa Fe Irrigation District’s (SFID) approved 2016 Cost of Service Study (COSS) set forth a three-year revenue adjustment of 9%, 9%, 9%. Last June’s 9% revenue adjustment resulted in a wide percentage of rate increases. Single family residential customers, depending on the size of their meter and the amount of water consumed, had water bills that ranged from decreases of – 4.5% to increases of 24.3%, a 28.8% swing. In general, the larger the meter and the higher the water consumption, the higher the percentage rate increase. However, the June 2016 rate increase also resulted in customers with the smallest meter, and the smallest water consumption, having their water bills increase 20%. The 2017 9% revenue adjustment did not result in the wide range of rate increase percentages experienced June 2016 to December 2016. This current year’s rate increase percentages generally range from 8% to 12.5%; higher rate increase percentages fell to customers who used more water, regardless of the size of their meter. At present, I am unable to determine the
actual customer bill impacts of the COSS proposed 2018 9% revenue adjustment, as district staff has yet to run the recently adopted wholesale pass-through increases through the COSS rate model. Why is this distinction between a 9% revenue adjustment and variable rate increase percentages important? Well…if you’re the owner of a large parcel and have 2017 water bills that are based on a two-year accumulated rate increase in the neighborhood of 30% - 35%, reading that “…two 9 percent rate increases already instituted in January and last June” probably smarts. If you’re the owner of a small parcel and use very little water, knowing that your 2017 water bill is based on a two-year rate increase of around 28% probably likewise smarts. In fact, having run the numbers on 15 different single family residence customer classes, not a one of those 15 examples actually resulted in a 9% increase! The SFID Board of Directors has been discussing rate impacts for several board meetings and two special meeting workshops. The June board meeting agenda included a comprehensive schedule for a new COSS to be undertaken throughout 2018, to be adopted by November 2018, to potentially take effect
FROM ROGER PENROSE, A5 Starting off with a Woody Allen quip on-time, which goes: “Eternity is a very long time ... especially near the end,” physics professor and co-director of the Clarke Center, Brian Keating, said that Penrose’s book, “The Emperor’s New Mind” was one of his favorite and has baffled him since high school. Keating then made the point that even at age 85, Penrose is still actively pursuing research and has just published a new book, “Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe.” Penrose has also authored “Cycles of Time” and “Shadows of the Mind”; won the Copley Medal from the Royal Society of London and the Wolf Prize from the Wolf Foundation; and was featured as a character in two movies about Stephen Hawking.

City should not condone unfair ‘money grab’ In February in the early evening, I was travelling east on Lomas Santa Fe Drive in my car. As I crossed into the intersection at Solana Hills Drive, I noticed a rapid flashing light. I suspected that a photo light camera had spotted me. Sure enough within a week or 10 days I received a moving violation citation in the mail. The fine was for $531. Being that I am a law-abiding citizen, I decided not to challenge the ticket. I felt that I was probably guilty according to their evidence. Whether the light changed more quickly at the intersection, or whether my car was just inches short over the line, or whether or not the camera was functioning properly, I do not know. However, I was clearly not happy, and I think most citizens who have been entrapped by this unseen technology sanctioned by the City of Solana Beach are just as unhappy.

James Tagg was at the lecture assisting Penrose. He is director of The Sir Roger Penrose Institute for the Study of Consciousness, Creativity and the Physics of the Universe (aka Penrose Institute), which will open soon in La Jolla. Tagg is famous for inventing the chip for the touch-activated computer screen. The Penrose Institute will operate in connection with Oxford and UCSD. It will focus on quantum nano biology (looking for quantum-like activity in the neuron microtubules in the body and the brain), consciousness, creativity, and the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Exiting the lecture, after buying some books, Tim S. said, “I just want to thank the Clarke Center and Roger Penrose for the fascinating lecture tonight. It is so reassuring to know that a computer will never equal the human mind because it can’t make the same creative leaps as we can.”
California (including the city of San Diego) and other states have discontinued their use of cameras, because of increased reported accidents, angry residents, and tourists who are caught and refuse to ever visit those cities again. Also, the violation is an expensive one, which means revenue for the city is at the center of the issue. For me, the solution for my peace of mind, was simple. As I pass through the city of Solana Beach, I have stopped being a consumer of goods and services. I will not buy coffee, home improvement items, gasoline, entertainment, food, or any forms of recreation, etc. Now several months later, I have kept my word. This is a small protest to be sure, but over a year’s time, the money I have typically spent at local businesses is many times the amount of this egregious traffic fine. After this incident, I cannot support a city that condones an unfair and phenomenally unpopular “money grab.” Gregory Thompson Carmel Valley

FROM BASEBALL, A1 McCaskill continued. “I can tell you this: pay for play has never been in existence, it’s just not how we operate. I don’t know who donates nor do I care.” Gumb’s complaint alleged that the district improperly charged students to participate in athletics, what she believes to be a violation of the Free School Guarantee. Gumb included as evidence a February email from the Torrey Pines High School Foundation baseball liaison that said “please bring your checkbooks,” asking for a minimum of $695 to help cover the $85,000 cost to run the baseball program. Based on the findings, the district did not deny students participation in the TPHS baseball program nor did it provide them with special treatment based on whether they provided donations to the TPHS Foundation, engaged in fundraising activities held by the foundation or participated in fee-based club programs run by the foundation. “We are pleased that the independent investigation findings confirm what we knew to be the facts. The evidence supports that students who have not donated received equal opportunities as those that did,” said TPHS Foundation Executive Director Nicole Baril. “Hopefully this brings clarity to the community that the misinformation communicated in the media was misleading and had no merit.” Gumb is not in agreement with the findings and has appealed to the California Department of Education. Gumb has also requested further clarification and investigation into several issues in her complaint. "We are not done with the district, they need to be held accountable for what transpires on their campuses. They can’t continue to blame the foundation,” Gumb said. “The foundation is made up of good parents that are just trying to give their students the best possible education. It is not their fault when the school district is in collusion with private people to mislead the public.” Among the findings of the report, there was evidence that coaching vacancies have not been internally or externally advertised for the past three school years, however, all coaches hired did go through the district’s regular interview and hiring selection process. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district will take corrective measures to ensure that all school site coaching vacancies are advertised as required. There was also evidence that one of the TPHS coaches charged for private lessons at school facilities on non-school hours without submitting a facilities use permit. The district will take corrective action with that employee. In addition, the report said there was evidence of pre-enrollment contact with students as part of their involvement with a club baseball team and the necessary disclosure forms were not filled out. Gumb said everything started in October 2016 when she began asking “very discreetly” about the use of the school batting cages by travel ball teams, who seemed to have access on a regular basis and she wanted to know if they had acquired the necessary facilities use permits. “It kind of unraveled from there,” Gumb said. She said she began doing her own due diligence research discovering it appeared the batting cages had never been approved by the board or the Division of State Architects (DSA)
FROM EDUCATION, A1 submitted a petition to the district advocating for curriculum and facilities improvements for special education students. Some parents voiced frustration that neither the budget nor the district’s LCAP was changed to reflect some of the concerns expressed. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said amending the LCAP isn’t as simple as just adding new goals as dollars are committed to those actions. He said they haven’t made changes since receiving the petition because they need to have a plan to add services or facilities before they just plug in a dollar number. As plans develop, the district can work to put those improvements or changes into the general fund or capital budget. SDUHSD President Amy Herman said the district is open to looking at ways to amend the LCAP in future and working collaboratively
and that it didn’t seem as though coach hiring processes were followed. She said she also had a lot of questions about the role of the foundation in school athletics. Gumb said she decided to submit her complaint to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) as she felt her questions were being dismissed by the district. Over the holiday break she submitted a 16-page complaint backed by over 500 documents to CIF. CIF submitted it to the district anonymously but Gumb said she was “outed” by district staff. She said once the baseball coach found out it was her, her son was “blackballed.” She describes her son as a “16-year-old kid who loves baseball — baseball is the reason he comes to school.” She said the response to him has been fairly negative but she knows her son is a strong kid that can handle it. “I don’t believe in handouts and I constantly tell my son he has to work for what he earns,” Gumb said. “I cannot write a $10,000 check to pay for special privileges. I don’t think anyone in a public school should have to.” After her complaint was filed, baseball tryouts were held on Feb. 21. Her son did not make the roster, one of only three cuts the team made, all of them from the class of 2018. The investigation found no evidence that the foundation informs coaches which students donated and in what amounts. The report found that three to seven students per year do not donate. “There is no evidence that failing to donate to the foundation has had any effect on any of these students’ participation in the TPHS baseball program,” the report said. Gumb countered that if the district cross-referenced those players, they would see that they are paying fees to participate on Del Mar Powerhouse or Solana Beach Cardinals, teams that TPHS coaches are affiliated with. While there was no evidence of “pay for play,” Dill said that that the foundation’s requests for donations could have more clearly informed parents that their decision to donate or not donate would not affect their ability to effectively participate in the program. At the June 22 board meeting, Torrey Pines golf coach Matt Chess, the baseball coach prior to McCaskill, spoke on his behalf. “My friend Kirk McCaskill loves his kids first and second, never wanted to lose a game,” Chess said. In an interview, McCaskill said he made every attempt to “stay above the fray” as the investigation continued during the team’s season, although it was difficult. He said at one game against La Costa Canyon, he was even heckled. “I try not to respond.” Gumb’s son was a student in his baseball PE class and McCaskill said he did his best to “protect him and to protect the players on the team.” “We’re doing the best we can as coaches,” McCaskill said. “I’m proud of what we have at Torrey Pines, both the success that our players had on the field and in the classroom. I’m very proud of the work our coaches put in, we do a really good job as a group and set high standards both academically and athletically.” Two Torrey Pines players earned scholarships to Ivy League schools and two players were drafted by Major League Baseball — pitcher Kyle Hurt was drafted by the Phillies in the 34th round although he is headed to USC and Jacob Boone, a potential fourth generation MLB player, was drafted by the Nationals in the 38th round but is attending Princeton. “I couldn’t ask for anything more for our student athletes,”
with parents to making sure they are addressing student needs. Since the June 8 meeting, the district has budgeted for the cash register requested by one special education student for better vocational training and Herman toured the adult transition portables at Earl Warren Middle School that many parents complained about. Herman said while the portables are still under construction, they are exploring bringing more natural light into the rooms with more windows and doors with windows. For the LCAP, parents requested that special education be broken out separately so that “poor proficiency” rates would be acknowledged and so that the district could craft specific goals to address student achievement and improvement in career readiness. Dill said the expenditures in the LCAP are tied to the $1.9 million in supplemental
McCaskill said. Torrey Pines batting cages never approved Gumb’s complaint regarding the batting cages has proved to be the most illuminating to the district —many of the board members were not even aware they existed. The cages were installed in 2013 as a result of a $400,000 donation from a parent. Per the report, at the time district staff assigned to oversee the project determined that the project was exempt from Division of State Architect (DSA) review as it was a “fencing project.” As a result of Gumb’s complaint, DSA evaluated the project and determined that, under current regulations, the district would need to apply for approval. SDUHSD has since submitted the batting cage’s plans to the DSA — they were approved in February of this year. At the June 22 board meeting, parent Beth Westburg said she has nothing against the batting cages and is glad that the school has them but she wanted the district to be held responsible for not following the rules. Westburg said she couldn’t believe that the board was unaware of the $400,000 batting cages installed on campus or that no one questioned their existence or who had paid for them when rumors trickled out that students were being kicked out of the cages by club team coaches or being used by minor league baseball players during school hours. “This leaves me wondering, is the district aware of what’s happening on their own campuses? I have to ask myself, what else is being hidden from the public? What other deals have been made in the backroom?” Westburg asked. “This is past sloppy.” Dill said at the time the batting cage donation idea was presented, he worked with then-Torrey Pines Principal David Jaffe. The cages went through the facilities planning department and the construction department but it was never presented as a donation item for the board to approve. “We didn’t present it formally as a donation as we should have and that is something that we have admitted we did not do correctly,” Dill said. Dill said at the July meeting, the cages will be on the agenda to accept. According to Baril, local youth teams have usage of the cages averaging 200 hours per year, bringing in approximately $25,000 a year to the foundation. The report found some of the uses appear related to an agreement between the foundation and the community member who provided the funding. Dill said the district will take appropriate corrective actions to ensure that all future facilities uses are in accordance with board policy. The district will also review whether any entities should have been charged for their use of Torrey Pines facilities, whether or not those activities were sponsored by the foundation. Gumb was disappointed that the investigation did not address her complaints about coaching responsibilities and about the “biased culture” and reports of players from previous seasons facing similar behavior. “The district’s silence on this topic leads me to the conclusion that they agree that there was a hostile environment on school grounds that impaired the access of pupils to an equal educational opportunity,” Gumb said. She said she will continue to seek answers on the lack of transparency in the foundation and would like to see the investigation fully completed.
funding they receive for English language learners and foster youth. But the district has a $138 million budget and all of the special education expenditures are included in that $138 million. There is some overlap as some special education students fall into the LCAP categories of low income or English learners but Dill said programs designed for special education are worked into the overall budget. In her public comment, La Costa Canyon parent Lucile Lynch mentioned how the California Department of Education’s special education division is moving to include students with disabilities in the LCFF system and school districts such as Carlsbad Unified have included special education students in its LCAP goals. Special education parents recognized that the district had to meet a July 1 deadline on its LCAP so rather than jeopardize state funding, they suggested a compromise.
Parent Sophy Chaffee said she would like to see the district’s new special education team seek input from the special education parent forum and work to draft one-to-two new LCAP goals to meet the needs of chronically under-performing students. “These plans can work and can drive improvement. Adding a goal or two to the LCAP isn’t a panacea to the problems we presented but taking these actions would show us that you’re listening to our concerns,” Chaffee said. “The clock is ticking on our draft petition – we would rather work with the district than file formal complaints.” Dill said he liked the offer to work with the parent forum in the fall and learn more about where there are gaps in performance and make specific goals about how to raise student achievement and performance and what supports are necessary.

and ability is to provide that funding. If the foundation tells us they have no willingness or ability to pay for something then my answer is ‘OK,’ because these are voluntary donations and so we scale back or we fill the gap ourselves.” Salazar said he had heard a lot that night about money being taken away from athletics and arts and parents having to fill that gap. He said the district is fortunate that parents are very generous. “This school board decided to spend more money on labor and now I believe we’re spending something in the way of 91 cents out of every dollar, 91 percent of our money goes to all of our employees and their benefits. We could’ve changed that. We could’ve had 85 percent and we could’ve had millions of dollars more to spend on athletics or art or on real classrooms for our special needs kids. We made this decision and we’re making another decision tonight to accept a budget that’s deep in debt.” “I think we made mistakes a few years ago and it’s going to continue having this deficit until we re-address that problem. I think we’re spending too much money on our labor and we need to adjust it.”
panel is made up of a bunch of fans to go and start your new police department,” Huth told the council at its June 19 meeting. “I think you’re going to find them to be very candid about their profession.” Druker, an outspoken critic of a Del Mar police force, was not convinced. “Basically, we’re going to get a viewpoint that is skewed,” he said. “… It is ultimately a decision about what we want to do, not about the facts.” At the center of the debate is the Del Mar Police Feasibility report, which says Del Mar would see faster response times and save money over the long term by creating its own police force instead of contracting with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The April report was updated last week with new calculations and data. Read the report and other analyses at www.delmar.ca.us/605/Law-Enforcement. Given the city’s long list of major endeavors already at hand, several residents on June 19 questioned the wisdom of attempting such a huge project. Joe Sullivan applauded the council for hosting the workshop and hopes it will answer questions about the exact kind of police coverage, the need for a standalone police station, insurance liabilities and Del Mar’s ability to recruit and retain high-quality

They funded programs for student connectedness, brought in speakers such as former NFL player Todd Marinovich and provided start-up costs for new Pathways in engineering and business. In recent months, Baril said she has been fighting a lot of “misleading” information about the foundation as it was part of a complaint made by Torrey Pines parent Wendy Gumb concerning the school’s baseball team. Among her concerns about the baseball team and allegations of “pay for play” and conflicts of interest, Gumb’s complaint also focused on the role of foundations in district athletics. In light of the complaint and investigation, Gumb and San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board member John Salazar proposed not having CIF sports this coming season until the “broken” system is repaired. According to one of the CIF operating principles, commercial relationships should be monitored to ensure against “inappropriate exploitation” of the school’s name or reputation and there should be no “undue influence” of commercial interest. Gumb has argued that the district is in violation of CIF rules as the foundation is a commercial interest and that the four high school foundations control the sports programs as they are entirely dependent on them. Baril said that the allegation is not true. “We don’t have any control over it. We don’t hire coaches. I don’t even know who half of the coaches are,” Baril said. “We manage the fundraising. We act as the fund manager for the money [sports programs] raise.” Several parents and coaches came to the June 22 board meeting to express their support for the foundation and for sports in the district overall. One of those boosters was Ed Burke, the longtime football coach whose name is on the field at Torrey Pines — he coached the Falcons for 21 years before retiring in 2007.
personnel. But like several other residents who spoke, Sullivan worried that the effort would get buried in committees and reports and lengthy deliberation. “In other words, I don’t think it’s going to be settled within four to six months,” he said. “My concern is that with all the priorities that you have and the budget issues we’ve heard here tonight, I’m just not sure that this needs to be a priority for this fiscal year.” Deputy Mayor Dwight Worden said he has been having similar struggles. “We’re part-way down the path, we’ve spent a lot of money but we’re in a time where we need to be backing off things,” he said. “I’ll feel badly if we’re going to do ‘the Del Mar thing’: spend a lot of money and momentum and then put it on the shelf.” A few residents on June 19 also objected to the notion that the would-be police station would be added to the new city hall being built on Camino Del Mar. On that point, Mayor Terry Sinnott was eager to clarify. “That’s a big piece of misinformation that people are grabbing a hold of,” he said. “I know that the people on the finance committee who have been studying this for four years have never thought of ever putting it in city hall. If it is going to be in a facility, it’ll be somewhere else.” Sierras (10th grade).

“I’m old enough to have been there when the foundation began. To tell you the truth I was a little opposed to the foundation when it began,” Burke said. “I thought it was wrong to go out and ask parents to contribute.” As Burke noted, Proposition 13 in 1978 changed everything, greatly affecting financing for public schools. He said he did everything he could to raise money for the football team — hosting a golf tournament, holding a rummage sale and having students park cars for 1984 Olympics equestrian events when they were held at what is now the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club — “I even had a Coke machine in the gym before they made me get rid of it,” Burke said. Burke said he struggled with asking parents to donate when the foundation first began, but he said, “The foundation turned out to the the best thing that ever happened to Torrey Pines.” “The foundation has done wonders. Music programs that had been cut were re-established, more athletic teams were established. Torrey Pines is America’s finest public school,” Burke said. “And it is that way because of the parents that support that school and have supported that school in every way possible.” Torrey Pines football coach Ron Gladnick said he has been frustrated by the “white noise” that has permeated the district recently and the allegations of “pay for play” that he said have tarnished reputations. Gladnick said he has no idea who gives what in his program and he doesn’t care. After tracking his time last year, Gladnick said he earned a “whopping $1.05 an hour” and what he did earn he donated back for his kids, his “150 sons.” “I will give 50 times what we ask for this year because our students, my sons, are going to be CEOs, managers, congressman, senators, leaders…they are worth the investment,” Gladnick said. “I have been a passive observer and I won’t be anymore. It’s a known fact there are ideological differences in this room and ideological differences are OK. But we coaches,
parents, teachers, administrators, board members have a higher purpose to serve. And that higher purpose is we create an environment of excellence by doing right by kids.” “The district and state are not going to fund music, art, drama, cheer, athletics, it’s left to us. And we have a beautiful community of people who love to do it,” he continued.” Don’t be swayed by the white noise and the clanging bell.” Ann Lopez, a cross country parent, reiterated a finding of the investigation into Gumb’s complaints, that donations do not impact team placement — students try out for the team first and then parents are later asked if they would like to donate. “It’s definitely not required. I know there were kids on the team that would have been unable to attend meets that were far away if it hadn’t been for the donations given to the foundation,” Lopez said.”And I know that those kids had opportunities given to them as a result of the generosity of other families at Torrey Pines.” During public comment, parent Beth Westburg offered an opposing view — she said the problem is not about the programs, it is more about transparency. “As a parent I would like to know where my money is going,” Westburg said. “I don’t know who pays for what — I have no idea and nobody knows where the money goes, what it’s spent on and that’s the problem. It’s not the coaches. It’s not the teams. It’s the transparency of the district and the lack of it.” Westberg said that there is a lack of knowledge on the district level, that they don’t know how much it costs to run programs as they don’t budget for athletics. “The district is on the hook to pay for it (athletics) regardless of whether the foundation supports it,” Westburg said. “The coaches and foundations want the world for our kids and ask for everything because they can. The district has a fiduciary responsibility to make sure all the

The foundation works on budgets with every program liaison and school site administrators based on needs. Every year, they are audited by an independent auditor and the financials are shared online. They don’t report details of every check written and donors are kept private — however, an honor roll on the website lists donors at various levels. Baril said in light of the recent investigation, the foundation is much more sensitive about the “ask”— the foundation is working to train team liaisons on their donation appeals so they never appear to be mandatory in any way. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said in his 16 years in the district, he has been overwhelmed by parent support through the foundations and said that he will always accept any donation. “We do budget for athletics. We do pay for coaches and for transportation and other things. Do we ask for donations? Yes we do, to make those programs better. I can’t think of any program throughout the district whether its arts, athletics, academics, robotics or career technical education that would be made better by less funding. Our district is not able to provide all of the things that we need so our parents have done a great job of providing that additional support…Our programs would not be the same without that parent support.” During public comment at the meeting, Gumb said she agreed with Coach Gladnick about doing right by kids and that’s it’s important to get it right. In her response to the investigative report, Gumb said she would still like more clarity on how the foundation’s budgets are set, where the booster funds are recorded and that donations be made public record. “For the last six months I’ve been here at every board meeting except for one really advocating for transparency and to get it right,” Gumb said.

FROM RESORT, A2 years. A pair of Encinitas-based developers — the Robert Green Company and Zephyr — announced in February that they had closed deals to acquire the parcels. Their vision is for a luxury hotel accompanied by dozens of villas, a public park, restaurants and walking trails that will allow public access to the coastline. Last week’s approval allows data-gathering for the Environmental Impact Report to begin right away. Even under the expedited process, city review is expected to take between 24 and 30 months, followed by another year or more of state review through the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Commission. Specific Plans have been used three other times in the city’s history, two of which turned into contentious battles that saw razor-thin margins in public votes. While the Plaza and L’Auberge Specific Plans in 1987 were bruising, the Garden Del Mar project of 2008 won 85 percent of its vote. Three pending projects are going through a Specific Plan process, including the Watermark project. Meanwhile, the city in the midst of overhauling its process for Specific Plans. The council took up the issue on June 19 but did not quite finish.
“Clearly, a Specific Plan is the right way to process a proposal of this scope and magnitude,” said Deputy Mayor Dwight Worden. “I appreciate [the developers’] willingness when the policy isn’t totally locked down yet. It’s an imperfect world and this is the way to move forward.” But at least one councilmember took umbrage with how the project is playing out in its early stages. Because of the sheer size and impact of the project, Councilman Dave Druker wants the project to have its own citizen committee, and he is adamant that its Specific Plan go to a public vote for final approval. “This is a major project, this is going to have a major impact on the city, a major impact on Solana Beach,” Druker said. “If it’s a good project, it will sail through; if it’s a bad project, it will not. I just believe that because this is a major development, we need to have the vote of the people. That’s the way Del Mar works: when we have major projects and major things, we vote on it. I can’t support the way this is going through.” In May, the developers held two public workshops to show off the property and field input from the community. They have promised to hold three more workshops as designs take shape, as well as launch a website, start a listserv and meet individually with stakeholders and the most affected neighbors.

And, should a reader be interested in reality- based, footnoted data one can examine for veracity using their own methods, you can refer to the citations in my June 16 letter. Analyze and conclude on your own. I did not read a direct comment in Mr. Zahn’s letter about my questioning the use of government force in providing a CCA or CCE with customers at the initial establishment of the entity. The state enabling legislation, AB 117, simply forces current utility customers to become CCA customers at the initial establishment of a CCA. Then, once a customer has been forced in, that customer can “opt-out.” As I stated on June 16, if a CCA is such a great benefit to a customer, why the need for force to create a customer base?

Finally, I find it a misuse of the term “competition” in this context of using a newly formed government monopoly as competition. Funded through taxation (as the only money non-federal governments have is taken via fees and taxes from productive citizens), a CCA cannot be a legitimate alternative competitive source to the private capital that operates SDG&E. Since when is private capital ever on a level playing field with government taxing and regulating activity? A curious reader will also learn that a CCA cannot exist independently of say an SDG&E. The investor-owned Sempra must allow a CCA to use its infrastructure, billing and technical support, as it cannibalizes Sempra’s customers. This is not competition. I am not in favor of the SDG&E service area monopoly established by government action. Private enterprise should produce competition, whereas government authority produces barriers to entry, and typically restrains progress. Adding another layer of government to the utility business is hardly the correct answer. Freedom and private initiative, not regulation, is the correct answer. Bill Stoops Solana Beach

Cake4Kids expands to San Diego to offer birthday experiences for foster youth BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Alison Andreas heard that there were children who had never celebrated their birthdays properly, she decided to do something about it. The Cardiff-by-the-Sea woman set a goal for herself this year to provide 100 birthday cakes and other treats to San Diego foster children and other kids in need. “I’ve always had a thing for foster kids, and last year my daughter and I did our own homegrown fundraiser where we made pies to buy school supplies,” she said. “I read a story when I was young about kids in foster care having to pack their clothes when they moved between homes in trash bags, and it just broke my heart. I feel like these kids have enough challenges as it is, so I feel like for them to have a little bit of normalcy and feel good and special, any little thing that can be done to help them is valuable.” However, realizing she had a large task on her hands, she began doing some research online to find people with similar intentions. Her search led her to the Bay Area-based Cake4Kids, a nonprofit that donates baked goods to children in need for their birthdays. After Andreas contacted them earlier this year, they agreed to let her expand the program to San Diego. The program serves foster and homeless children, as well as kids who are in domestic violence and human trafficking situations, Andreas said.
Since bringing it to San Diego, Andreas has recruited a handful of volunteers to bake goods for children at Casa de Amparo in San Marcos and San Diego Youth Services in Point Loma. She said she is also receiving requests from other similar organizations. Children are invited to fill out an order form with what kind of treat they want — cakes, brownies, cookies and cupcakes — along with options for frostings, flavors and decorations. Past themes have included Pokemon and the band 21 Pilots, Andreas said. “Birthdays are special and should be celebrated,” she said. “Anything we can do to make these kids feel special is important. It takes a whole host of services to help kids in foster care and homeless kids. This is just one of many services that can help them feel like they’re having a normal childhood and celebrating a special day.” She added San Diego is the sixth largest city for homeless youth in the nation, and there are an average of 3,000 foster kids in the county each year. Most of those children spend an average of three birthdays in care, she said. Joanne Fodor, a volunteer baker from Encinitas, said she hopes the children realize their importance and that their lives are worth celebrating. Anthony Parham, foster care program manager at San Diego Youth Services, said the birthday celebrations “mean the world” to the children.
COURTESY
Cake4Kids offers personalized cakes for foster youth in San Diego County. “We had one youth who had never had a birthday party and we were able to have Cake4Kids donate a cake for this youth,” he said. “He got very emotional when he saw the cake because he had never had his own birthday party or cake before. He just celebrated his 12th birthday. ... This program reaches out to the underserved and underprivileged in a way that we may
not be able to serve them. There is love, compassion and kindness in these cakes, and it’s a world of wonder for the youth receiving them.” So far, Andreas has recruited about 45 volunteers, including members of the San Diego Cake Club, but is looking to get to at least 200 volunteer bakers in the next year. Bakers also do deliveries, she said. Michelle Grad, an Emergency Room doctor and mother, said she takes time out of her busy schedule to volunteer with the program because she wants to teach her children the importance of giving back. “My husband finished Sparta300 for Charity, and we, as a family, did Bike for Mike,” said the Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident. “My son did his first 5K for lymphedema research two years ago. And my husband and I are biking tandem for arthritis from San Francisco to Los Angeles for the second time in September. It is important to walk the walk if you expect your children to follow in your footsteps. With this group we can participate and have family time experience as a bonus.” Andreas invites any bakers who might be interested in volunteering with Cake4Kids to visit Cake4kids.com and sign up for an orientation. “Right now I’m just getting off the ground, and if I make close to 100 cakes this year I’ll be very happy,” she said. “I’d like to see what we can do with the volunteers we’re able to recruit this year.”

Abartis Chemical Company helps homeowners and businesses save distressed palms and other trees
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY STACEY PHILLIPS Since establishing Abartis Chemical Company in 1989, Alfred Alyeshmerni has helped many homeowners and businesses revive and restore their palm and olive trees. “Palms are high value assets and a cornerstone to majestic estates in Rancho Santa Fe and neighboring communities,” said Alyeshmerni. “Unfortunately, the palms, which are native to the Canary Islands, are susceptible to a fungal disease called Fusarium Oxysporum.” This fungus is pathogenic to palms and many other plant species. Once exposed, the palms may deteriorate rapidly, which is characterized by unilateral frond wilt and eventual death. “Fusarium spores may become airborne and spread to otherwise healthy palms,” said Alyeshmerni. “Extreme care must be undertaken to prevent the spread of the disease by following proper pruning procedures.” Alyeshmerni said the company has been on the forefront of research in this area and has pioneered many cutting-edge treatments to
target Fusarium Oxysporum disease in Canary Island Date Palms. “We have experimentally tested and refined our treatments through collaboration with plant pathologists, major agricultural laboratories and distributors,” he said. He has also developed a treatment program for olive and pepper trees infected with Xylella Fastidosa. “Olive trees create a Tuscan ambiance such as in The Bridges community in Rancho Santa Fe where we are presently treating several hundred trees,” said Alyeshmerni. Throughout the years, the company has treated several thousand palms and olive trees, and Alyeshmerni said only a handful, about 10-15, have not survived. Local resident Dennis Samaritoni reached out to Abartis Chemical Company a few years ago when he noticed that two of his palm trees might have a problem. They weren’t looking as green and robust as they initially were so Alyeshmerni came out to examine the trees. The trees were also tested by a soil and plant laboratory in 2013. The pathology report showed both Canary Island palms were infected by fusarium and Alyeshmerni

A tree before and after treatment by Abartis Chemical Company. proceeded to treat the trees. “My wife and I thought we were going to lose both trees,” said Samaritoni. With help from Alyeshmerni and Abartis Chemical Company, the trees are much healthier. “One of the palms is flourishing and the other is nicely recovering,” he said. Steve Hodsdon also found success using Abartis Chemical Company. About three years ago, Hodsdon lost one of his Canary Island palms and asked Alyeshmerni to inspect the other nine palms on his property. After finding out that four others had fusarium, Alyeshmerni came up with a program to save them and the company began treating the diseased trees. “He is a miracle worker for trees,” said Hodsdon. “They are now the best-looking palms in the neighborhood. Hodsdon has been very impressed with the
COURTESY
service he has received. “The company has been very thorough. They show up on time, they do what they say they are going to do and they clean up very well,” said Hodsdon. “They are the best in their industry, without exception, in saving and servicing trees.” “It is important for homeowners to begin treatment promptly before the disease progresses,” said Alyeshmerni. His company’s program includes prophylactic treatment of infected and healthy trees in order to contain the disease. “I love to see how happy people are when their trees recover and are healthy again.” For more information and a free evaluation, visit www.abartischemical.com or contact 1-800-CHEMGROW (1-800-243-6476). - Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Jorge Pardo leaves his mark at the Lux Art Institute BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY hen Jorge Pardo was invited to spend time as an artist in residence at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas, he had a set goal in mind: to create an original, new art piece in just five days. The Mexico-based artist spent June 12 through June 17 staying at the Lux to work on the large canvas-based piece. Other artists have in the past chosen to spend up to a month there. “I gave myself a week to make something that would be interesting, and that’s really the only agenda here,” he said in an interview on the day he he arrived at the studio. “The interesting thing is to use the space and to make something here. They’re very flexible about how and what artists do. Residency can be a lot of things: it can be a retreat for people or it can be work.” For Pardo, residency experiences can tend to make him anxious because he’s set in a space without his usual machinery and team, he said. A majority of his work is usually produced by machine but finished by hand. He uses a variety of tools and materials, like a wood router and laser cutter. He also regularly works with a printer based in Germany.
to make the most out of his stay at the Lux, he said. However, he didn’t finish the piece. Instead, he decided to let children visiting the museum contribute to it. He will return later this summer to put on the finishing touches, museum staff said. Also on display are five other pieces, which have been shown in galleries around the world. These include more traditional canvases, light works and lamp works. Pardo said he enjoys using palettes rather than individual colors. “I like using colors to kind of make a pleasurable access point in the work in a way,” he said. “I don’t use color as an investigatory thing. Color is something I use like a fisherman uses a lure. You need something to attract the fish.” Pardo said he doesn’t expect his art to evoke any specific emotions onto his viewers, but rather he hopes the audience stays long enough to really take the pieces in. “I don’t think works should tell people how they are or what to do,” he said. “I think that’s a dead end. If you just go and get lost in the piece, then the artist is good and there’s more pleasure in that.” Pardo’s work will be on display at the Lux Art Institute, 4550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas, through Aug. 5.

Jorge Pardo poses in front of a new art piece, which he invites children to add to, at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas. “Because I have this infrastructure in the studio, I can really make [the art] mine,” said Pardo, who got his first piece of machinery — a table saw — when he was 13. “I can make five and throw four away. ... If you don’t have that in the studio, it’s different
because you only get one shot. It’s not just about the fetish of these stupid machines and visual space. What’s important is to be in it and to do that is a pain because you have to work with people and you have to understand these machines and fix things when they go
wrong.” During his time at Lux, he created a 5-foot-by-30-foot scroll work that is covered with silkscreen ink in bright colors such as pinks, purples and oranges. He had planned the work for months, with materials sent over ahead of time,

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneficial to fitness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high blood pressure can
develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins.
high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood flow.
Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood flow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins.The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective.
That gut feeling Blood flowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen.
Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for low-impact jogging. However, a
The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving circulation. Low-impact

yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short office visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

GRACEDBYGRIT introduces the Chelsea Capri to the Chelsea Collection GRACEDBYGRIT, a designer of high-performance women’s athletic apparel, has introduced a new piece to its Chelsea Collection: the Chelsea Capri. The sustainable Chelsea Capri, made from recycled bottles, is named after Chelsea King, a San Diego area teenager whose life was taken from her while out for a run. The capri features the Chelsea Collection’s signature sunflower print, which was inspired by King’s memory – it was her favorite flower. GRACEDBYGRIT will donate $10 from every Chelsea Capri purchase to Chelsea’s Light Foundation, an organization founded by Chelsea’s parents to honor her memory. The Chelsea Capri is available in two color combinations: seafoam and navy, and white and navy. The Chelsea Capri is available online at www.gracedbygrit.com and in-store at 153 N. Highway 101, Solana Beach, Calif. 92075.

Women’s Museum of Califor nia
Show, exhibit to celebrate heroism of women in U.S. military The Women’s Museum of California will be celebrating the heroism of women in the United States military through the different uniforms women wore from World War I to today. This military-themed version of the Women’s Museum’s Historical Clothing Show will take place outside Baracks 16 in Liberty Station on July 7 at 6:30 p.m. The uniforms that will be worn for the show are on loan from the Veterans Museum in Balboa Park as well as from several local women veterans.

Village Church in RSF to host career-building event for youth
COURTESY PHOTOS
The Village Church of Rancho Santa Fe is hosting a free career-building event Sunday, July 30, where successful entrepreneurs and industry leaders will meet with teens and young adults to share inspiring stories of how they practice their Christian faith in the workplace and advice on landing your desired job. The event is part of the church’s new Faith and Work Initiative featuring members of the congregation reaching out to the next generation of leaders. “Today’s job market is so competitive that young adults need to focus on preparing for a career while still in high school. The Village Church can respond to that need by leveraging the professional richness our congregation provides,” explains the Rev. Dr. Neal Presa, associate pastor. Presenters will include leaders in the real estate, biotech, legal, software and entertainment industries. In addition to a Q & A panel, each speaker will present an overview of job opportunities in their industry and address how faith has played a role in their work life. Teen participants also will receive advice on preparing for tests such as the SAT, MCAT, LSAT and GRE, and all attendees will have valuable networking opportunities with panelists. “As Christians, we are called to love God and love our neighbor in all that we do,” adds Presa. “The Faith and Work Initiative will help reframe our thinking about the workplace so everyone can live out their faith in every part of their life.” The free event is open to everyone from age 15 to 30. It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the Village Church campus and lunch will be provided. Registration is now open. Register by emailing hollic@villagechurch.org or call the church office (858) 756-2441. Visit villagechurch.org for more information. The Village Church is located at 6225 Paseo Delicias Rancho Sante Fe, CA 92067.

The great burger flip flop
T
he beloved burger is America’s sweetheart of foods affirmed by the 14 billion consumed yearly, and a nationally designated month (May) honoring the grilled sandwich. In my globetrotting days, I met many strange burgerfellows — some caught me off guard, taking my stomach by surprise, while others thankfully never got passed my lips. At a trendy Florida eatery, I scarfed down what I thought was a turkey burger, but was shockingly a gator burger. In Italy, I mistakenly ate a goat patty thinking it was chicken. During my youth in the Northeast, I narrowly escaped eating a black bear on a bun. While beef is still the top choice for burgerphiles, other vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivorous options are entering the field in a flurry. Be adventurous for July 4th and beyond with this line-up of sweet and savory hamburger alternatives that’ll sure to please even the most discriminating palates. ■ Take it with a Large Grain: Move over soy boys. Use a confetti of red, white and brown quinoa, the Incan mother grain as a base for this protein-dense, gluten-free veggie burger. Blend with organic eggs, chopped onions, roasted corn and red peppers, and shredded Jack cheese, then top
with heirloom tomatoes on a crusty sourdough, slathered with a kicky chipotle mayo--even the most diehard meat lover would not feel deprived. Brown rice is chewy and hearty, same with bulgur wheat, buckwheat and assorted ancient grains from teff, farro and kamut to amaranth, blue corn and black barley as a satisfying meat alternative. These can be combined with legumes, peas and beans (lentils, chickpeas, English peas, kidney, navy and black beans), along with roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, beets), and assorted herbs and spices (garlic, cayenne, turmeric, celery salt, smoked paprika, ginger, mustard seed, basil, Italian parsley, rosemary) for a vegetarian’s paradise on a bun. ■ Cap it Off: Nothing imitates meat better than mushrooms with a rich beefy taste, color and texture. A whole Portobello marinated in a red wine or balsamic vinaigrette, and grilled to a soft pink center is then dressed with fresh watercress, and truffle aioli on a crusty focaccia roll. Or construct a patty with a mix of chopped mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, shiitake, trumpet), shredded mozzarella, bread crumbs and spices for a moo burger doppelganger with an antioxidant oomph.

■ Eggplant cut crosswise about 1-inch thick, marinated and grilled, topped with baby arugula and a drizzle of yogurt Meyer lemon sauce on a toasted baguette is another satisfying choice. ■ On the Wild Side: If you have a gamey palate, try lean, grass-fed bison, a native of North America and Europe, and relative to water buffalo, sheep, and cattle. Bison resembles beef in heartiness, but with a sweeter flavor. Pasture-raised, immune boosting “lamburgers,” that are lean and juicy pair well with Moroccan flavors from ginger, turmeric and cumin to paprika, saffron and cinnamon. Top with refreshing mint leaves and tzatziki yogurt and cucumber sauce or hummus, and stuff in a pita pocket. Low-fat, tender, protein-dense elk meat from the deer clan also makes a hearty change up from mainstream hamburgers. For a rich smoky flavor add chopped bacon to the patty, and accessorize with hickory barbecue sauce and caramelized onions. ■ Plenty of Fish in the Sea: For pescavores best choices include sweet Dungeness crab meat, or a firm fish like mahi mahi, ahi tuna or wild-caught salmon. These can be filleted and seared, or either finely ground or coarsely hand-cut and formed into patties. Marine burgers pop with Asian accompaniments like scallions, pickled daikon radishes, and wasabi mayo. ■ Sweet Endings: A dessert burger will hit the sweet spot with grilled pineapple rounds, peach halves, or mango slices drizzled with a caramel or hazelnut chocolate sauce, or a berry puree sandwiched between a brioche bun.
Knock-Your-Socks-Off Caramelized Onions ■ Ingredients: 3 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, thinly sliced; 2 tablespoons each, sweet butter and virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar; 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves; 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika ■ Method: In a covered skillet, heat butter and oil on medium until melted, then add onions and thyme. Cook covered for 10 minutes. Stir, add sugar and heat covered for another 30 minutes until golden. Add wine vinegar and seasonings. Cook for another minute, stirring well. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
FROM WILD WEST, B6 scholarships, the large-scale event was held in the Infield Pavilion, where a hosted bar and delicious array of grilling and grazing stations beckoned. After dinner, chair Jon Liss invited scholarship recipients to the podium for introductions. Board member Megan Tevrizian presented top winner Sarah Drown. Sarah eloquently told the crowd what winning the $5,000 FFA and $5,000 Spanjian scholarships meant to her as she departs for Oklahoma State University. She said, “My FFA and San Diego County Fair experiences have helped shape me as a person. On behalf of all 2017 recipients, I would like to thank the Don Diego donors whose generosity is making it possible for us to pursue our dreams.” To keep the monetary momentum going in support of next year’s cream of the crop recipients, board member and ebullient auctioneer Frederick Schenk conducted a live auction of one-of-a-kind items, including a Phil Mickelson-autographed pin flag from the 2004 Master’s and a Blue Ribbon Lamb from
FROM SPEAKER, B17 Complex. The right writers conference can not only be pivotal to a writer’s career, it can be a great boon to editors looking to find new clients. But between travel expenses and the cost of conferences themselves, attending a conference can be a major investment. What should you look for, how can you vet a conference, and how do you best take advantage of what a conference has to offer both editors and writers? Antoinette Kuritz is the founder of
