Coyotes ‘out of control’ in Carmel Valley Residents hope to spread awareness about attacks, sightings in fenced yards
Veteran world traveler has more places to visit. A7
Lifestyle
BY KAREN BILLING An increase in coyote attacks in Carmel Valley and Del Mar has pet owners on alert. On Nextdoor, neighbors in the communities of Torrey Hills, Del Mar Mesa, Ashley Falls and Carmel Valley Circle are warning others about coyote sightings, attacks and, sadly, the losses of beloved family cats and dogs. One family was left heartbroken after their 8-year-old dog was killed by a coyote while in their backyard on Concannon Court in the Ashley Falls School neighborhood on July 29. “This coyote situation is the worst I’ve seen in 25 years of living here,” wrote Sue Fountain, who lives in Sea Point townhomes. The sightings and attacks are happening at various times of day, from early morning hours to dusk, near local parks and in people’s backyards, even those with fences. “Many people I talk to think their

fences provide complete protection for their dogs,” said Carmel Valley resident Diane Williams. “Fences help. But a determined coyote can jump a fence.” Del Mar Mesa resident Mary Perez said she witnessed a coyote jumping on her backyard masonry wall, which is over 6 feet tall. “The most amazing thing is the coyote jumped and landed precisely at the top of the wall, which is no more

They are amazingly agile, stealth and incredibly fast,” Perez said. “After witnessing this in my own backyard, thankful that my dog was inside the house, I completely understand how our Carmel Valley pets have been swiftly snatched from the safety of their backyards.” A month ago, Vicki Wright’s dog Sadie was attacked by a coyote in the garden of her home near Ashley Falls

BY KAREN BILLING Facing criticism from parents over the decision to house students in the Adult Transition Program (ATP) in two portable classrooms on the new Earl Warren Middle School campus, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) invited parents to tour the facility and participate in a special meeting July 28 on the campus. In response to feedback received, the district informed ATP parents on Aug. 1 that the entire program will be moved to La Costa Canyon High School (LCC) for the coming school year. For over two hours on July 28, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill listened and responded to a group of frustrated parents. Some parents wanted an apology from the district and others did not, instead wanting answers to their questions and an assurance from the district that their children were a priority and that their concerns were truly being heard.

Goodlife Festival, even without pot, snuffed out BY SEBASTIAN MONTES What would have been San Diego’s largest-ever cannabis festival has gone up in smoke after its organizer says the Del Mar Fairgrounds quietly shunned his efforts to rewrite the contract and hold the festival without marijuana on site. Lawrence Bame, CEO of The Goodlife Festival, had wanted to hold the festival as planned on Sept. 23, despite the 22nd District Agricultural Association (DAA) board canceling his contract two months ago out of fears of the DAA’s legal and professional liability in the face of federal law that continues to hold marijuana in a criminal light.

At a packed hearing on May 30, the DAA’s board of directors demanded that Bame stipulate that cannabis not be allowed into the festival. When he hesitated to make those assurances, the DAA canceled the contract and asked him to draft a new one that expressly discourages cannabis on site. Roughly a month later, Bame said he received a phone call from a fairgrounds employee telling him the deal was off. He said he does not have that in writing. “We were willing to agree to anything and they said, ‘Don’t come back,’” he said. “Nobody wants to put anything in writing, SEE FESTIVAL, A21

Trees to be removed at Carmel Mission Park BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Mission Park is slated to see the removal of 74 trees over the next three years due to the large trees’ threat to the transmission line corridor that runs through the park. SDG&E presented a couple of phasing plans for the tree removal at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s meeting on July 27 but Chair Frisco White was hesitant to make a decision without community input. “I’m sure there will be some kickback but for the greater good we have to get these trees out,” White said. The Carmel Valley Maintenance Assessment District will be discussing the tree removals at its Tuesday, Sept. 5 meeting at 4:30 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center. The planning board will then likely make a decision on the plan for the tree removals at its Sept. 28 board meeting. Carmel Mission Park is located on Carmel Country Road and is split in half by Carmel Center Road. Most of the tree removals are located north of Carmel Center Road, although 12 are located south of Carmel Center. Most are pine trees and five are eucalyptus trees. Greg Peck, of SDG&E’s vegetation management department, said the tree removal is necessary to prevent the 60- to 80-foot trees from falling and knocking into one of three transmission lines in the park, the largest being 230 kilovolt. This past January during the storms, a pine tree in the park uprooted and fell into another tree, which contacted the 69

Over the last five years, two pine trees have fallen onto residential homes. “In the last two years, 50 percent of power outages are caused by fallen trees so this is a big deal for us,” Peck said. “If one of those trees had knocked one of those lines over, it would result in a major power outage for the entire West Coast.” Peck said SDG&E is proposing to remove
about 25 trees per year. They have options of removing the trees by big sections or removing selective trees from each section. “It’s going to look completely different because those are tall, beautiful trees,” Peck said. “They’re just in the wrong place.” The park won’t look completely barren as there is some underbrush in the area of the trees and the existing acacia trees will remain. After the trees are removed there

will be no stump grinding because of the threat of soil erosion on the hillside but for every tree removed, SDG&E has committed to replacing it with two 15-gallon tree replacements that would grow to about 30 to 40 feet at the most. White said of the two options, it’s almost better to remove the trees at full sections at a time because the replacement trees would be able to be planted and start growing in the three years. If they used the selected tree method, he said the replacements wouldn’t be able to be planted until the work was done in the third year. “I hate losing such beautiful mature trees, we have so few of them,” said board member Laura Copic. “I just want to make sure we’ve exhausted all possibilities.” Peck said the removal is the best and only alternative; there is no possibility to underground the lines or co-locate wires on a single pole. Thinning or topping the trees won’t reduce the weight to keep them from falling over, he said. For the most community outreach, White requested that SDG&E do a formal noticing to residents in the area. Peck said SDG&E has gone door to door and spoken with several customers that live in the immediate area and only one was opposed to removing the trees. For more information on the tree removal project, contact Erika Ferreira, City of San Diego district manager for the MAD committee at EFerreira@sandiego.gov

Del Mar school district adds director of innovation, design BY KAREN BILLING As the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) continues to work on how to make education look radically different for its students, the board recently appointed Laura Spencer to the new position of executive director of innovation and design. “Laura Spencer is a dynamic leader who will bring fresh perspective informed through a wealth of experience,” said DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg. “Her expertise will inspire strategic implementation of our District Design 2022.” The district recently adopted its new strategic plan District Design 2022 after gathering input from hundreds of educators, parents and industry experts on how to make the school experience more meaningful for

Sheriff’s Deputies respond to psychiatric emergency On Aug. 1 at 3:12 p.m., a resident of 117 Via de la Valle, Del Mar called 911 and reported an unknown male had just entered his residence.

It was quickly determined the male who had entered the residence was suffering from a psychiatric emergency, according to a San Diego County Sheriff’s Department news release.

She worked for the Santee School District as the coordinator of instructional technology for eight years and, most recently, she worked for the Lakeside Union School District as the director of educational technology.

Del Sol Lions club hits $100,000 milestone BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The Del Sol Lions club is thriving thanks to the work of its 30-plus members. And rather than the global perspective that has made the 100-year-old Lions International one of the largest service groups in the world, the Del Sol club keeps its focus on a strictly local level. A small sampling of the club’s growing roster of efforts: backpacks stuffed with school supplies for more than 200 kids in Casa de Amistad’s tutoring program; a $1,000 donation this year to help Freedom Dogs provide service animals for veterans with PTSD; support for the St. James and St. Leo Dental Program, a free weekly clinic; eye exams and glasses for disadvantaged children; helping the Community Resource Center of Encinitas feed more of the area’s homeless. Over its seven years of helping other initiatives across the coastal North County, the Del Sol Lions club’s efforts have added up to nearly 200 service projects, 8,000 volunteer hours and, during this year’s Fiesta del Sol, donations that crossed the $100,000 milestone. That landmark came in large part thanks to the leadership of club president David Cain, who, over his three years as president, has

Cain was one of the founding members back in 2010, and he steered them through a tumultuous few years that at times left some wondering whether there would be a club at all.

Veteran world traveler has more places to visit BY JOE TASH Bill Altaffer’s son recently asked him how many countries he had only been to once. Altaffer, a lifelong traveler who says he has visited every country on Earth (the United Nations has 193 member states), had to think, and could only come up with about a dozen. But even though the 74-year-old Carmel Valley resident said he has long exhausted his personal bucket list of travel destinations, he has no plans to let his suitcase gather dust in the closet. He still has trips he wants to take, especially with his family – wife Ching, son Joe, 16, a student at Canyon Crest Academy, and daughter Lena, 20, a junior at USC. “I just really want to show my family some of the highlights of places I’ve been,” he said. For decades, Altaffer led tour groups to destinations around the globe, while also settling down between trips for stints at such jobs as ski instructor and high school history and geography teacher. He also loves to lecture and give slide shows about his travels at libraries, retirement communities and travel clubs, such as the Adventurers’ Club of Los Angeles, where he is a member. In mid-July, he and his family returned from a 14-day river cruise in Siberia. Russia is one of his favorite destinations, having first visited the country some 50 years ago. He said he has been to all 92 Russian states. On this recent trip, the family cruised along Siberia’s Ob River, beginning in Salekhard, the only city located directly on the Arctic Circle. Because the town is vital to Russia’s oil and gas trade, permits to visit are difficult to obtain. The family also spent several days taking in the sights in Moscow. Previously, Altaffer has taken his family to such exotic destinations as Assam, a region of northeast India, and North Korea. “I take them to places that are uncommon, difficult trips that no one else would go to,” he said. “I want them to see stuff that’s really unique.”
COURTESY
Lena, Ching, Bill and Joe Altaffer during their recent cruise along the Ob River in Siberia. Altaffer, who has been to North Korea a dozen times, conceded that, “my wife would kill me if I took my kids back again.” Trips he would like to take include Namibia, on Africa’s so-called Skeleton Coast, and river cruises through Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. He avoids such events as Rio’s Carnaval or the Olympics, figuring the crowds make it difficult to see much of the country. A native Southern Californian, Altaffer said he has been traveling since he was 7, when he went to Alaska with his parents, and he ultimately logged some 65 countries on trips with his mother and father. He has made a name for himself in travel circles. He’s a member of the Travelers’ Century Club, for visiting at least
100 countries or territories, and can also be found on the website MostTraveledPeople.com. The site considers that the world is made up of 875 “parts,” which include countries, territories, island groups, enclaves and large provinces of individual countries. Altaffer is currently fourth on the web site’s list of most traveled people, having visited 822 places. However, he ranks No. 1 on the list of having visited the most UNESCO World Heritage sites, with 952 visited and 100 remaining. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history from USC, then moved to Mammoth to become a ski instructor, before being hired by a travel agency to lead tours. Later in his career, he taught high school, both in Mammoth and South Central Los Angeles. While he’s been in tense situations during his travels, including countries under martial law, he said the most dangerous situations have involved flying on airplanes. “Out there in the world it’s never felt really dangerous except flying in West Africa,” he said. Once, when flying out of Luanda, the capital of Angola, he said, the plane’s engine caught fire during takeoff and the flight had to be aborted. Another time, he said, he and some companions were flying to an island off he coast of Somalia when the engine also caught fire on takeoff. Because there was only one flight a week and they wanted to get to the island, Altaffer said, they stayed on the plane while the flames were doused. “It took off again and we made it,” he said. He also recalled flights in Siberia when he looked out the window of the plane and saw the landing gear patched with duct tape. Fortunately, he said, the quality of the Russian air fleet has improved. Now retired, Altaffer is convinced his life has been enriched by his travels. “The greatest wealth in the world is to see the world. I don’t want a politician telling me what it’s like somewhere. I go there,” he said.

13 San Diego art museums have women at the helm (Part 1) BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT here is a well-known gender gap when it comes to museum directorship, according to the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) and the National Center for Arts Research (NCAR), but according to a recent report, “while progress is incremental, the needle is moving with changes accomplished through cultural shifts within the field and in broader society, and with the emergence of a new generation of leaders.” Here are a baker’s dozen of women who are the heads of local arts institutions, some of them recent arrivals and some of them longtime leaders in the field.

New chapter in local businessman’s career focuses on the silver screen BY JOE TASH After working on the East Coast for two decades in global capital markets, John Cappetta and his family moved to Rancho Santa Fe, where he invested in small companies and real estate, and in 2013 formed his own investment company, Andesite Capital, of which he is founder and CEO. The latest chapter of his career fuses both a personal passion - telling stories through movies - and his business skills. Over the past two years, Cappetta has become an executive producer for three films, the first of which, “Day of Days,” starring veteran actor Tom Skerritt, comes out Aug. 15 on DVD and streaming services. A theatrical premiere was held July 27 in La Jolla. A second film, called “Marshall,” about the early career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, is completed and set for release in theaters Oct. 17, while a third film, “HeadShop,” is shooting in Los Angeles, said Cappetta, 56. “Over the past two years, I’ve been investing time and energy into this space out of personal passion and interest,” Cappetta said. While his role in the first two films is primarily as an investor, Cappetta said, he is taking a more active role in “HeadShop,” which according to the film site IMDb, is “A magical urban tale about a beautiful psychologist from San Francisco” who ends a long-time relationship and opens a private practice in a vacant, street-front office space in Oakland, “turning the predominantly African-American and psychologically ignored neighborhood on its emotional ear.” Regarding this new aspect to his career,

John Cappetta at the July 27 premiere of his movie, “Day of Days,” held at The Lot in La Jolla. Cappetta said, “Is this business or is it art? For me, the two kind of go together. I don’t think you can do this if you don’t have interest in producing a great product, a beautiful product that you’re proud of.”
At the same time, he said, he still has to consider the financial risks and rewards of a project, and whether it can generate a return on capital. “My interests and background allow me to
balance those two things,” he said. The film investment arm of Andesite Capital is called Planet 9 Productions. One of Cappetta’s film-industry partners is Kim Bass, who wrote and directed “Day of Days.” According to Cappetta, the film is inspired by Bass’s grandfather, and involves an intense day spent together by an elderly man and his caregiver, on what the man believes is his final day. The two become both “angel and savior” for each other, Cappetta said. The movie business has both differences and similarities to his previous work in finance, Cappetta said. For example, envisioning a film is like creating a successful real estate development project from the ground up. But during the production phase of a film, the frenetic pace is unlike his past experiences. “It’s a unique process that’s a lot of fun in my limited experience so far,” he said. Cappetta is open to exploring new experiences in his personal as well as his business life. He and his wife, Nancy Jo, have four sons, ranging in age from 15 to 24. About three years ago, they took a “family gap year,” and lived in an apartment in Paris for a year. The two younger boys attended an American school in Paris, and the older boys also spent about eight months with the family. They also traveled during that year to such destinations as South Africa, Morocco, Turkey and other parts of Europe. Along with traveling, the family loves to sail, ski and snowboard together, said Cappetta. Cappetta also volunteers with a number of different groups, such as the Rancho Santa Fe Education Foundation, where he serves as co-chairman.

Del Mar woman recreates pet photos with painted portraits
“King of Hearts”
MCKENZIE IMAGES
King of Hearts Another pop-up art treat appeared in Rancho Santa Fe on July 31. Titled “King of Hearts,” the latest piece is made of over 2,000 feet of willow branches atop a mound of 2,000 begonias. The anonymous artist not only creates unique displays but makes them appear overnight, only to disappear a few days later. If the butterflies on the stone marker are any indication, this is art piece five of seven. With only two to go, make sure you catch this one on Calzada del Bosque, near Via de la Valle.

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Jill Williams understands how much people adore their pets, creating pieces for them to always remember their fur babies. The Del Mar resident has been painting pet portraits for the last five years. “Pets are like family to people,” she said. “They are great company. Even if you have to clean up the litter or take them for a walk, you just love your pet.” Williams, a six-time published writer and former Broadway playwright who moved to Del Mar from Arizona three months ago, began painting the portraits about five years ago after discovering a knack for the art by creating murals of Navajo rug designs on her Tucson home’s walls. Eventually, someone asked her to paint a dog, who had recently passed away. Challenge accepted, Williams thought. Since then, she has painted more than 500 dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, pigs, horses and chickens. Williams, a senior citizen who lives alone with her feline Fattycat, said painting the animals gives her something to look forward to doing every day. She estimates she paints about two portraits a week, with each creation taking about three to five days to complete. “It’s a great way to live and be excited about your life,” she said, adding she only paints animals, not humans. “I see so many seniors who don’t know what to do with themselves. I wake up every morning and I can’t wait to start painting.” Williams only works off of photos sent to her of the pets. She starts off by blowing out the picture so she can cut out the outline of the animal. “The dimensions will be correct,” she said. “The rest is creativity.” Paintings sell for either $66.50 for a 7-inch-by-9-inch piece or for $91.50 for a 10-inch-by-13-inch piece.

Ransom the Moon takes first in Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes BY KELLEY CARLSON In an eventful renewal of the Grade I, $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes on Saturday, July 29 at Del Mar, Ransom the Moon (far right) stayed clear of the riderless Drefong (center, black blinkers) and rallied to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Drefong — the champion sprinter of 2016 — swerved at the start of the race and unseated jockey Mike Smith, then continued to run with the field. He bore out wide during the stretch, impacting runner-up Roy H and third-place finisher Moe Candy. Flavien Prat guided Ransom the Moon home in 1:09.63 over six furlongs on the dirt. “On the backside, I was concerned (about the loose horse, Drefong),” Prat said. “I
thought he was going to cause me problems. But I stayed behind him and then on the turn, he went outside and took the leader (Roy H) out with him. I got to go inside, and it worked out perfectly. My horse is a really nice horse, and I think six furlongs is his best distance. I got lucky today. Sometimes racing is like that.” The 5-year-old Ransom the Moon is owned by Agave Racing Stable and Jeffry Wilke. Additional horses who were victorious in stakes races during the past week were Stellar Wind (Grade I, $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes), Curlin Road (Grade III, $100,000 Cougar II Handicap), Miss Sunset ($150,690 Fleet Treat Stakes), $150,000 California Dreamin’ Stakes (My Italian Babbo) and Mr. Hinx ($150,000 Real Good Deal Stakes).

BY MARK ZEIGLER Parents with kids playing on local teams in the U.S. Development Academy got some good news Friday, July 28: They’ll be saving some serious cash in future years. U.S. Soccer announced that its annual Development Academy Summer Showcase and Playoffs, a weeklong event each June involving nearly 500 teams filled with the nation’s top youth players, is coming to San Diego County for at least the next two years and possibly longer. “It’s big, very big, for San Diego soccer,” said Mike Connerley, president of Surf Cup Sports that operates the 22-field complexes in Del Mar and Oceanside hosting the event. “Many of the best players in the United States are from Southern California. But to have all the best players in the country playing in one place is very special.” U.S. Soccer created the Development Academy, or DA, in 2007 to enhance elite player growth and identification through a standardized coaching regimen – practicing more and playing fewer but more meaningful games against other top talent. There are six age divisions for boys starting at under-12 and four for girls starting at U-14. Youth clubs must be approved by U.S. Soccer to offer DA teams. The program operates 10 months a year, with practices at least four days a week. Players are not allowed to participate in outside competition, including, controversially, high school soccer. It also can be pricey in American soccer’s pay-to-play model (although scholarships are available), with teams often flying to other cities for league games plus winter and summer showcases. Not having to travel to a showcase could save a family $2,000 or more in flights and hotel. “We chose San Diego for a simple reason: We want a world-class environment for our players,”

DA director Jared Micklos said. “Everything about San Diego fits our criteria, from the amazing soccer venue, the temperate climate, to the impressive soccer support in the region.” The 2018 event will run June 18-July 1, a week each for boys and girls. The contract allows for games at either Surf Cup Sports sites: the 114 acres in Del Mar, and the 104-acre SoCal Sports Complex in Oceanside that opened in 2014. San Diego tourism officials estimate 32,000 visitors and 23,322 hotel room nights for the 2018 showcase. Officially it is a “multi-year agreement,” but the 2018 and 2019 events are believed to be guaranteed in San Diego with options for three additional years. The Summer Showcase was held outside Indianapolis this year and at Frisco, Texas, in 2016. For more information, visit ussoccerda.com. — Mark Zeigler is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Surviving Climate Change
UCSD launches Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology Job 1: Explore link between human societies and marine environments BY WILL BOWEN Although many people are in disbelief and so they are complacent, scientists have been warning us that the Earth is undergoing global climate change and we must prepare for it if we are to have a productive future. The theory is that global conditions have been warming up as part of a natural cycle since the last Ice Age (Glacial Maxim 20,000-25,000 years ago), but in the last few decades things have dramatically sped up due to human activities. The intense burning of fossil fuels has caused a steep rise in the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, creating a greenhouse-like effect and leading to hotter conditions that have begun to rapidly melt ice in glaciers and at the polar caps, thus causing the oceans to rise. For millions of years, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere has paralleled air temperature. Scientists think that temperature will inevitable rise to match the radical spike in CO2 level, though it hasn’t yet. If you look at aerial photographs of the major glaciers or study maps of the Arctic and Antarctica you can see the effects of global warming boldly demonstrated. Glaciers have shrunk and large areas of the polar ice sheaths have melted. It is not certain what Mother Nature will do. Humans can only guess at the future based on the data and the models we have. But it looks like we will eventually lose low-lying places on the ocean front, for example, the beautiful city of Venice, Italy. It’s also thought that San Francisco Airport may be underwater in 100 years, unless some sort of sea wall is built to protect it. Many of our California beaches (worth about $60 billion a year in tourist revenue) may also end up under water.
Finding a link to past rising seas
What can we do about climate change? Can we stop it or alter its course? Some scientists think we still have time, others say it is far too late and we will just have to adapt by moving back from the coast as the oceans rise. We are not unique in the dilemma we face. In past times, other human beings faced the same problem of rising oceans. Throughout the world there are civilizations now underwater, lost to the rising oceans. In La Jolla, there is evidence offshore and underwater that two Native civilizations (flourishing 8,000 and 12,000 years ago) experienced serious sea-level changes that impacted their lifestyle and led to their disappearance. Hopefully, we can learn from these lost cultures by studying and understanding how they adapted or failed to adapt to climate change and rising seas.
Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology
Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) is resolute on the idea of learning from the past. Its researchers have started a project to study the past, called the Scripps Center for Marine Archaeology (SCMA). The goal of SCMA, which is a team effort by SIO and the UC San Diego Department of Anthropology, is to investigate the influence of changing marine environments on ancient societies and to reconstruct archeological sites that are now under the water. SCMA was founded by SIO emeritus professor Walter Munk and Damien Leloup, who met at the world renowned Explorer’s Club. Leloup used to dive with the great French oceanographer and inventor of the aqua lung, Jacques Cousteau. Together Munk and Leloup were able to raise $400,000 to start SCMA. The Center is currently headed by UCSD anthropology professor Tom Levy, an archaeologist who specializes in the Middle East, and John Hildebrand, a professor at SIO known for his work using sound for underwater sensing and discovery. The purpose of SCMA, according to Scripps’ director Margaret Leinen, “Is to advance marine archaeology as a field, and on a larger scale, to help scientists explore ways to better understand and protect our planet.” Carol Padden, dean of UCSD Division of Social Sciences, added that SCMA will, “Find ways to study the relationship between society and the sea, increasing our knowledge of the past for a better future.” Said Levy, “We are not just going to study sunken ships, but we will look at the adaptation of coastal societies who underwent environmental change. There are hidden coastlines now underwater all over the world where civilization and culture once flourished. Those are the places we need to study.”
Adding new expertise
SIO and the anthropology department jointly hired two new faculty members who’ve been studying climate change as the first step to grow SCMA. These new professors are Isabel Rivera-Collazo, who specializes in human resilience and adaptation to climate change on the island of Puerto Rico; and Jade d’Alpoim Guedes, a Harvard graduate who works on climate change in Tibet and China. Rivera-Collazo said she grew up on a small farm in the mountains above San Juan, Puerto Rico, where her family grew vegetables and herbs. “I ran all around the wilds of the mountain. We were like hermits. People would say, ‘Oh, look at those hippies!’ ” she laughed. The people who supplied her family with irrigation equipment spoke Hebrew. Because she liked the sound of their language, when the opportunity came up, she went to Israel for the summer to study Hebrew and live on a kibbutz. “When I was in
Israel, I discovered archaeology. There are so many treasures of the past in the Holy Land. So when I went back to school in Puerto Rico, I changed my major to archaeology. I later returned to Haifa to study underwater archaeology,” Rivera-Collazo said. She studies the Late Pleistocene and Holocene eras when modern man first arose. She has found habitation sites off the coast of Puerto Rico from the time when the oceans were much lower. “The last Glacial Maxim was 25,000 years ago. Since then, the planet has been warming steadily. But here were two periods when the rapid melting of ice stopped for several thousand years ... long enough for coastal civilizations to develop. These two periods of stability of the ocean level are called the Younger Dryas and the Bolling Allerod,” Rivera-Collazo explained. These stable periods can also be observed off the coast of La Jolla at depths of 24 meters (78 feet) and 59 (193 feet) meters. At these depths, underwater archaeologists have found evidence of Native civilizations. In 1964, more than 100 Native American stone bowls were brought up by SIO divers. It is predicted that a more thorough study of sites at these depths will reveal human presence dating back 8,000-14,000 years. These will undoubtedly be the oldest sites in San Diego, where almost all inland archaeological sites are younger than 7,000 years. Rivera-Collazo will be joined by Guedes, who graduated with a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2013. Like her colleague, Guedes grew up on a farm where she helped her father collect seeds in Portugal. Guedes said she has been studying climate change and adaptation along the coast in China and in Tibet, and like Rivera-Collazo, she is very interested in making archaeology relevant and useful for modern times. One of the amazing applications of Guedes’ work is the recommendation she made to introduce Hopi Indian corn to Ethiopia where it is getting too hot and too dry to grow its staple crop of bananas. She has further recommended the return to the farming older grains, which were once staples on the Tibetan plateau in the days when Tibet was a warmer land, like it is now becoming again. Of our impending local problems with the sea, Guedes said, “It is essential to understand how humans from the deep past of La Jolla dealt with challenges, such as a rising sea level and a changing coastline, and to highlight the similarities and differences to what our town faces today, so that we can take the best path forward in protecting this beautiful place.” With such a great staff, Hildebrand is confident that SCMA has a rosy future. “We want to have a lot of public participation in our work, and that will include seminars and workshops for people to come and get involved. We are also going to have a field school where people can learn underwater archaeology, both in Israel and right here in La Jolla!” he said. ■ Want to know more? Visit scma.ucsd.edu

Considering a Remodel?
Tasting Room Del Mar will close Aug. 13.
LYUDMILA ZOTOVA
Tasting Room Del Mar to close Tasting Room Del Mar, the Del Mar Village craft beer and wine-centric restaurant, is closing its doors. The last day of service will be Sunday, Aug. 13. “Closing time on Sunday, Aug.13 will undoubtedly prove to be a difficult reality. We’re a tight-knit family here at the restaurant and have built a lovely life with each other and all of you,” wrote the owners in a message to their customers last week. “While we understand the necessity of this action, we’re truly saddened to move away from our home and to know we won’t be able to anticipate your visits anymore. We’ll miss the conversations, the smiles, and the company.” Spearheaded by father-son duo David and Evan Taylor, Tasting Room Del Mar opened last year in the space formerly occupied by Bruegger’s Bagels and Del Mar Flower Company on Camino del Mar. In Tasting Room’s goodbye note,the Taylors wrote that in July 2015 they stepped into a “concrete cavern” and projected their dreams and aspirations onto that blank canvas, working for a year before opening the doors to the public. “We know that day in and day out we provided a welcoming, thoughtful
experience with great wine, beer and food. We’re proud of that,” the Taylors wrote in the message. “Nonetheless, the difficulties of a restaurant are often hidden behind the quality of the guest experience, as any number of restaurant folk will certainly tell you. That was also the case in this instance as, for many reasons, the last year proved challenging even in the face of our dedication to our goals.” In the last several weeks it became apparent that the challenges they were faced with were insurmountable and they made the decision to close. Through Aug. 13, Tasting Room will be open for happy hour service and dinner. “In this moment, we could write a novel full of memories and sorrows, but we’ll leave it at this: This has been the adventure of a lifetime, so don’t let it stop now. Don’t stop learning. Don’t stop growing. Don’t stop exploring. Approach the world around you with a sense of whimsy and passion,” the Taylors wrote. “Sharing our home with all of you has brought us immeasurable joy. Being welcomed into your lives this last year has been an even greater privilege. We love you and we’ll miss you. Thank you for making our lives bigger, better and brighter.”

Pacific Ridge team bridges borders to host basketball clinic Pacific Ridge School students know that sports have the ability to transcend language barriers and borders. They recently spent three days in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, hosting basketball clinics and scrimmages with local children and youth league players, according to a press release. Six players from the Pacific Ridge boys varsity basketball team went to Rosarito on Monday, July 17, to teach lessons at youth camps in the area. About 70 kindergarten-aged children lit up when coached by the older students, learning basic skills such as dribbling and shooting. The group is working with Mexico-based nonprofit Responsibility, which provides schooling and summer programs for children living near the Tijuana municipal dumps. The children are learning English so the basketball lessons give them a valuable opportunity to practice their language skills. The Pacific Ridge players served as coaches and coordinators, spending each morning teaching campers basketball basics and hosting fun games like relay races.

Pacific Ridge School students in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, where they hosted basketball clinics and scrimmages with local children and youth league players. The Pacific Ridge team spent its afternoons in spirited competition playing against local youth basketball clubs. Pacific Ridge Basketball Coach Chris Burman called the games highly competitive. “There have been some really close games. It’s great for our players to spend time together and try something that’s totally unique,” he said. In addition to giving the team a chance to practice basketball over the summer, the trip gives students the opportunity to connect with communities in a different country. Coach Burman, who is also a Spanish teacher at Pacific Ridge, was able to connect with youth
basketball leaders in the community thanks to his ties to the area. Many teachers at Pacific Ridge utilize connections all over the world to help students expand their global outlook each year. The youth basketball camp isn’t the first time the Firebirds have jumped into team service work. Each year, the basketball team volunteers at Carlsbad’s La Posada de Guadalupe homeless shelter. In the winter, they provide a meal and partner with other Pacific Ridge School service learning groups to put on a performance. This is the second year the basketball team hosted basketball clinics in Mexico.

The championship was the culmination of over 70 qualifying events in 18 states this year for the junior arm of the professional-beach AVP Tour. Both girls who have trained with San Diego Beach Volleyball Club since they were 12 years old are thrilled with this big win since they are headed off to different colleges this Fall. Filippone will attend Pepperdine University in Malibu and Muret is headed to UCLA.

From the Del Mar Mayor: Summer update
S
ummer has arrived and we are half way through 2017. This is a good time for me to bring you up to speed on City projects that are progressing in Del Mar.
Downtown Streetscape Improvements Del Mar has a plan to improve the sidewalks, landscaping, and parking in the downtown. Improvements will be along Camino Del Mar from 9th Street to 15th Street. We are in the process updating the design of those improvements with the hope of beginning construction in the Spring of 2018. A series of community outreach meetings have been held to identify the improvements people want included in the concept plan: “have-to-do” items and “nice to do” items. The response and input have been very positive. If you Terry Sinnott would like to view some of the possible improvements being considered, go to www.delmar.ca.us/617/downtown-streetscape, and click on Webinar Presentation.
Del Mar Racing and Breeders’ Cup The opening day of Del Mar’s 78th racing season was July 19. From all indications, we are off to a good start. The Thoroughbred Club has improved its traffic control and made improvements in the sound systems to minimize the noise impacts of their concert series. The Breeders’ Cup runs Nov. 3 - 4. Ticket sales for this event have surpassed all other Breeders’ Cup venues. Sixty percent of the 38,000 attendees are expected to be out-of-town visitors. This is a great opportunity to showcase Del Mar. You may have seen five of the new Torrie Horses installed around town. These are part of the “Art of the Horse” celebrating the Breeders’ Cup.
City Hall Construction
Vice President Advertising • Don Parks (858) 875-5954
We are on schedule and on budget. Our Finance Committee does a quarterly review of all the City Hall Project financing and has just completed its report to Council. We are in good shape. Some special thanks are given to the neighbors on 10th and 11th Streets who are temporarily impacted by this project. It will be over soon, with completion scheduled for spring of 2018.

This is an issue that has sharply divided our community. The Council has made an interpretation that short-term rentals (under 30 days) are not allowed in our residential zones. Council is in the process of drafting regulations that will allow some exceptions to this ruling, and discussing how the regulations will be implemented. Workshops or other public
meetings will be utilized to encourage public discussion of the short-term rental issue. I am opposed to the position of the Council, and hope we can find a workable set of regulations that help address the negative effects of short-term rentals.
Law Enforcement Proposal For four years the Finance Committee has been studying how to better control our law enforcement contract costs and improve response times. Their final recommendation was for the City to consider its own police department which would reduce escalating costs and give us twice the number of patrol deputies on the streets of Del Mar. The City Manager completed an implementation study that detailed how a police department would be established. It is similar to our Lifeguards and Fire Department. Now the City Council is evaluating the proposal and will make a decision this fall. I feel this is a good alternative to our current outsourcing of law enforcement and will help Del Mar become a model for community policing.
Measure Q (Sales Tax) In November, voters approved a 1 percent district sales and use tax ballot measure. This tax went into effect on April 1, 2017. The money raised is targeted for improving streets, undergrounding utility lines, installing streetscape projects, developing our local parks, and providing safety services. The Council has established a Measure Q oversight subcommittee of the Finance Committee to make sure funds are properly tracked. We have agreed that a separate underground project team will be established. We are now debating how to prioritize the use of funds in addition to the undergrounding program. The process has been slow, but it is moving forward.
Public Art Program The City Council approved the Public Art Policy in May. The policy sets up an Art Advisory Committee who will guide and make recommendations on public art. Next week, applications for membership on this Committee will open and we hope to have the City Council approve volunteers in early October. If you are interested in helping implement public art in Del Mar, please go to the Volunteer Information on the City of Del Mar website: www.delmar.ca.us/347/Committee-Vacancies. Hope you all have a safe and relaxing summer. Terry Sinnott Mayor I have the privilege of serving as Del Mar’s Mayor for one year. These comments are my own perspective and do not necessarily represent the consensus of the Council.

A suggestion for One Paseo This is in response to the July 27 Del Mar Times story about One Paseo night noise, and the delayed and minimal response, telling affected neighbors at a meeting on July 19 that in life you have to live through the bad for the good things to come. Thanks. Perhaps in response to my letter, One Paseo View, published in the April 27, 2017, Del Mar Times, One Paseo did put up 6-foot green plastic sheeting along the construction fence to partially cover up the construction eyesore. Thanks, again. You could have instead installed 10-foot-high placards and invited local art teachers and their classes to
paint murals on them. That could have been a wonderful neighborhood experience. Most visible now is the retail parking structure in construction. That is set back from Del Mar Heights Road so little that the structure threatens to dominate an industrial-style view on Del Mar Heights Road. One Paseo, I suggest that you plant a full, solid hedge in front of the building, reaching up to above the height of the multi-story structure, be that 30 feet or whatever it takes. And please plant mature trees as soon as exterior work is completed. Thank you, in advance. James Larrimore Del Mar

Adult Transition Program the latest in a series of district missteps
W
hat’s left to say about the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Adult Transition Program debacle? Given the administration’s track record this past year, it’s no surprise that this program, which serves special education students ages 18-22, got bungled. No vision, no leadership, no planning, no transparency, no communication, no answers, no solutions. The pattern repeats itself. Lots of empty platitudes, meaningless apologies, embarrassments, back-pedaling, poor excuses, a circle-the-wagons CYA mentality. And that’s not just for ATP. Looking back this past year, let’s list the ways this district has fallen short. • The disastrous start of school at Torrey Pines High School saw hundreds of students flooding counseling
offices to fix scheduling errors, severely disrupting classes for days and days. •Dozens of students and parents mobilized to demand the reinstatement of Torrey Pines AP physics teacher Will Harvie after his forced resignation. Under intense public pressure at a raucous school board meeting, the board relented and voted to refuse to accept his resignation, an action unheard of before in the district. With the physics department in turmoil, Advanced Placement students were in despair over precious lost instructional time. Harvie’s two weeks of “retirement” were recorded as a leave of absence. •Again at Torrey Pines, charges of pay-to-play surfaced in the school’s baseball program (a recurrent problem in athletics departments at all the district’s high schools). Although a district-funded
FROM CLUB, A6 and they stepped up immediately. It was incredible what we were able to turn that money into.” And the Del Sol Lions weren’t done yet. They led another fundraising drive a few months later that raised $300 more, and added the Boys & Girls Clubs to their list of recurring endeavors. That growing list is built by their members and by surveying school principals and city officials. Funds come by selling tickets to events and then sometimes concessions at those events, including Fiesta del Sol, the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, Gator by the Bay and this year, for the first time, KAABOO. There are also direct donations from members. And perhaps most importantly, volunteer programs that tap into the members’ expertise. “The really unique thing about Del Sol Lions is that we focus on what’s in the community,” said Brian Hall, who’s taking over as president. “That’s really our driving force. Many other Lions clubs are focused on international causes. We want to focus on what’s in front of us. The thing about us is that we’re not political at all. Our only agenda is to do the right thing for the community. We get stuff done and we keep it local.” Joining Hall on the leadership team will be Nichole Peterson, executive director of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, as VP of membership. Linette Page, a founding member, will be the VP of programs. And Kristin Salgado, owner of Solana Beach Family Optometry, will be the VP of services. They want their next milestone to be to eclipse 100 members, provide more services, land bigger grants and come to be relied on as a community fixture. “We aren’t a political club and we aren’t a business club,” Hall said. “This is a club about people. It’s a club about the community and it’s a club about making a difference. We want to expand, we want to do bigger and better things, and we want to align ourselves with other organizations. We’d like to not only do the right thing but also build a strong comradery with the community.” The Del Sol Lions club meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at Fletcher Cove Community Center.

investigation found little evidence of pay-to-play wrong-doing at TPHS, parent Wendy Gumb is challenging the findings and has filed an appeal with the state’s Calif. Dept. of Education over the pupil-fee issue, so it’s not over yet. • In a related matter, trustees at a recent board meeting reviewed allegations of favoritism connected to the construction and use of the TP baseball batting cages. Steps are being taken to address the issues. •The district’s high school foundations are under fire for the way teams and clubs structure their appeals for money, a perpetual complaint. One Torrey Pines volleyball team email read, “The foundation has asked that everyone get the bus fee in ASAP, or your son may not be allowed to ride the bus to and from games. If they do not ride the bus, they cannot play.” No question that this is

pay-to-play. • The decision to offer costly stipends to determine the number of teachers planning to retire was a bust. The intent, brought to the board for a vote by SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill, was to get in early on the hiring process for those hard-to-fill teaching positions of science, math and special education. For no logical reason, the district extended the offer to all employees – upper management and classified personnel including receptionists, bus drivers, gardeners, maintenance workers and others. Of the 36 employees who took advantage of the 5-percent stipends, only four were teachers of math and science. No special ed. teachers retired. •The district’s mishandling of and opposition to the SOUL charter school petition led the SOUL team to seek approval from the county, which was granted. Dill was the only speaker at the county Board of Education’s meeting to oppose approval. Now we hear expressions of cooperation and assistance for SOUL – too little, too late. • The district says its test return policy ensures that tests and quizzes (those that
are not national or district-wide assessments) must be released to students to take home for parental review when requested. Yet this continues to be challenging for parents who ask for this basic right. Teachers hedge, deny and stall – while principals make excuses and pretend to be powerless. Where is leadership from the district office to ensure that this student-friendly policy is enforced? •The 22-acre site at La Costa Valley in what’s technically a tiny section of Carlsbad was turned into an athletic center. The city of Carlsbad was asked to oversee the site, even though San Dieguito is based in Encinitas. Carlsbad first accepted and then rejected the offer, and now in a setback the district will oversee use of the center itself. • Parents continue to be bombarded with desperate pleas for basic educational materials and supplies, like Kleenex and science equipment. Equally disturbing is the lack of financial support for music programs. SDUHSD seems content to rely on parent donations for music, in contrast to the support neighboring districts provide
to their music programs, which they regard as essential and integral to a well-rounded education. Meanwhile, $6.5 million in general fund money is spent annually on a 12.5-percent salary increase awarded to every employee last year by a 3-2 board vote. It’s hard for the district to poor-mouth and beg parents for cash when the district behaves internally as if money grows on trees. • Support for state Sen. Anthony Portantino’s start times bill, which states that middle and high schools can start no earlier than 8:30 a.m., is a no-brainer, if the district is serious about improving the health, well-being and academic performance of its students. “Let’s show some leadership and support this bill,” SDUHSD board member John Salazar wrote to fellow board members. The response? Crickets. ***** There’s more, so much more. Next week the list continues. But there is a solution. It starts at the top with the school board. – Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.
San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy hires conservation, education managers The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has hired Jack Hughes as conservation manager and Ana Lutz as education manager. As conservation manager, Hughes is responsible for the coordination and implementation of conservation programs for the SDRVC. He will continue to lead habitat-restoration projects in the San Dieguito River watershed and take an active role in SDRVC's efforts to improve water quality, including through participation in projects that implement regional water-quality programs. Hughes will also work with SDRVC's partners to bring the most effective scientific methods and tools to bear on conservation and field research projects, and lead the San Dieguito Citizen Science Monitoring Program. As education manager, Lutz is responsible for developing, implementing, leading and growing the Conservancy’s education and outreach programs, including Watershed Explorers, Watershed Explorers Experiences, Citizen Science, Coastal Wetlands Field Ecology Project, and others in the San Dieguito River Watershed. Hughes is drawing on five years’ experience working with the Montana Conservation Corps, including two
AmeriCorps terms of service and two years on staff coordinating projects in habitat restoration, trail maintenance and construction for young adult crews. That experience inspired him to go to graduate school at Oregon State University where he got a degree in Environmental Policy. Hughes grew up on a family farm in Illinois, where he got his conservation ethic, from his father and mother. He moved to San Diego two years ago and last October he found an opportunity with the SDRVC to build and manage the volunteer base for the Watershed Explorers Program. “The Conservancy has a commitment to collaboration, to reaching out and being a catalyst for habitat restoration in the watershed and that’s what I am interested in doing,” said Hughes. “I’m really looking forward to working with all the different partners and finding
those common areas and ways we can move forward.” Lutz is a native San Diegan, born and raised in North County. She has a BA in Environmental Studies from Cal State San Marcos, with a minor in Anthropology. Lutz is extremely passionate about grassroots projects. “I think they are the foundation and the seeds that grow change. That’s what I’m most interested in doing. And partnering with communities—that’s where the real decision-making comes in, rather than top-down federal laws—your local laws really do matter, and your local officials,” she said. SDRVC's education goals are to develop future conservationists, and to improve academic engagement, performance, and physical and social well-being for people of all ages and abilities.

FROM COYOTES, A1 garden again around 7:20 a.m. on July 31. “It is scary because they keep coming back. The one I saw in the garden this morning wasn’t scared of me until I screamed at it. They are getting braver by the day.” Del Mar resident Steven Chinowsky had a similar incident with his 9-and-a-half-week old puppy Rosey, a golden retriever mix, on Hidden Pines Lane and Pine Needles Drive on July 14. Around 6:15 a.m. that morning Rosey was playing off leash, about 10 feet up a hill in the Chinowsky’s yard. “All of a sudden I see a blur of fur,” said Chinowsky. “I heard a yelp and I looked and our puppy was gone. Fortunately she yelped and howled as the coyote carried her away and I took off running after it, barefoot in my pajamas.” He followed Rosey’s sounds as he chased the coyote across the neighbors’ yard. The coyote got trapped, dropped the puppy and ran off. Rosey had smartly crawled and hid under a bush. She was terrified when Chinowsky picked her up from the bush but only had one small bite on the top of her head and after a trip to the vet she was fine. “It was pretty intense,” Chinowsky said. “I should have known better. Now we don’t take her off leash.” Chinowsky said the more he tells his story, the more he hears of similar incidents from neighbors. One neighbor on Recuerdo Drive in Del Mar unfortunately lost their puppy to a coyote a couple weeks ago. “I feel like with all of the development all over Carmel Valley, coyotes are getting pushed out of their habitats,” Chinowsky said. “We’re in a ridiculous position, we’ve gotten rid of their habitats and in order to live, they’re living off our pets. We’ve lived in the Del Mar area since 2004 and we never saw a coyote. Now it seems like we’re seeing them more and more and they’re more aggressive.” Dan DeSousa, a certified animal welfare administrator in San Diego County’s Department of Animal Services, said there are a couple of different reasons why a community may be seeing more coyotes in the area. “First and foremost, there may just be more of them. As predators, coyote populations tend to mimic the populations of their prey species. So more rabbits in the area equals a larger food source for the coyotes which can cause an increase in the litter size for a coyote or even a smaller territory for a specific coyote, thus allowing another coyote to move closer,” DeSousa said. “The coyotes may also be losing their fear of people and are thus more visible to
Sparky, Cody and Scooter model the Coyote Vest. the community. We are making it too easy for coyotes to coexist with us and thus they are associating more and more in residential areas rather than the canyons where they should be found. “Despite the cartoons depicting Wile E. Coyote as a bumbling buffoon, coyotes are actually very smart and have been in Southern California long before it was even called Southern California. They have learned to co-exist with us and we, as the smarter of the two species, need to learn how to co-exist with them or push them back into the canyons and open space where they belong,” DeSousa said. “When I said that we have made it too easy for the coyotes, we have. We leave dog food and cat food outside overnight, which draws in not only cats and dogs but also skunks, rats, opossums and coyotes. After all, why should a coyote try to chase down a rabbit when it has a bowl of food left out for it every night? They are also very adept at getting into our trash cans and even eating fallen fruit from trees. Unfortunately, when they are in a person’s yard or even loose in the neighborhood, they will attack people’s pets. Again, because it is easier for them to do so.” At their homes, DeSousa advises people to pick up their pet food and any fallen or low hanging fruit and clear their shrubs and hedges to remove hiding places. Another option for homeowners is a coyote roller. A coyote roller is a 4-foot, aluminum extruded ribbed roller designed to prevent animals from getting the foothold they need to climb over a fence. It is simple, safe, humane, requires no power source and constructed to

Sadie was lucky to survive a coyote attack in Carmel Valley. last a lifetime. Learn more at coyoteroller.com To make it less easy for the coyotes to co-exist and live in residential neighborhoods, DeSousa said people need to haze the coyotes. Hazing is a way to reinstill the natural fear of humans in the coyote. Using a different variety of hazing tools is critical so coyotes don’t get used to redundant or single sounds and actions. Some methods of hazing include: •Yelling and waving your arms, making yourself as big as possible. •Using noisemakers like whistles, air horns, bells, or homemade shaker cans full of marbles or coins • Using projectiles such as sticks, small rocks or tennis balls The simplest method of hazing a coyote is standing tall and waving your arms and yelling at the coyote. If the coyote has not been hazed before, he may not immediately run away when you yell at him. If this happens, you may need to walk toward the coyote and increase the intensity of your hazing. As DeSousa said, it’s important that people supervise their pets at all times. Use a leash as often as possible and when walking your dog, carry your hazing noisemakers, squirt guns, pepper spray or sticks and objects to throw toward a coyote. It’s important to remember to never run away from a coyote. The coyote may not leave at first but if you approach close, he will run away. If the coyote runs away a short distance
and then stops and looks at you, continue hazing until he completely leaves the area. It usually takes one or two times to haze a coyote away for good. “While many people ask to have the coyote captured and relocated or euthanized, that will not solve the problem until we eliminate the reasons that the coyotes are in our neighborhoods in the first place,” DeSousa said. “Removing one coyote only opens that territory up for one or more coyotes to move in.” In San Diego, some people have taken the extra step of outfitting their dogs with protective Coyote Vests. Dogs look like little punk rockers in vests with spikes and big, colorful “whiskers.” Coyote Vests were created by Scripps Ranch couple Pamela and Paul Mott after they lost their rescue dog Buffy to a coyote. Paul Mott had been at the park with Buffy and their two other dogs — as he loaded the two dogs in his car, Buffy was behind him in the grass. He heard a yelp and turned to see Buffy in the coyote’s mouth, running off with her. She was never seen again. “It was horrible to lose what we considered a family member. We couldn’t really enjoy our walks anymore,” Pamela Mott said. As Paul is an engineer, he began doing research and experimenting with a potential prevention tool for dogs. He started with a spiked coyote collar and they sold them on etsy.com. Eventually his design evolved to make a stab-resistant Kevlar vest, with add-ons like rows of spikes, laminated side panels, throat guards, coyote zappers and coyote whiskers, which look like broom bristles or porcupine quills. “We came up with the whiskers because it would make it very hard for a coyote to get a dog. The whiskers would get in their eye or mouth and deter them from getting ahold of the dog,” Pamela said. They were careful to ensure that all of their vests and accessories are not too heavy, uncomfortable or hot for the dogs to wear. “We aren’t out to kill the coyote, we just don’t want our dogs to be snacks for a coyote,” Pamela said. She has heard feedback from clients that the coyotes seem to be wary of dogs wearing the vests with whiskers and spikes as they are not sure what they are — one customer reported “freaking out” seeing three coyotes in her backyard while the dog was wearing the vest. Thankfully, the coyotes did not attack and the owner was able to run out and get her dog safely inside. While Pamela has not heard a report of a coyote attacking a dog in a vest, she did hear about dogs in the Coyote Vest being attacked by another aggressive dog. In one such incident in Del Mar, the owner said without the vest, their smaller dog would have been seriously injured. Since they have started Coyote Vests, Pamela said they have received messages from all over the country, people pouring their hearts out and sharing their stories. Pamela said she tries to respond to every one. “I feel like I really build a relationship with our customers. They love their fur babies and they want to make sure they’re going to be OK,” Pamela said. “I think of it like a cop who wears a bulletproof vest. It does not protect all of the body or guarantee survival but you’ve covered the target zone. And something is better than nothing. We’ve found the vest works quite well in protecting the dogs.” To learn more, visit coyotevest.com and bit.ly/2tXji10

FROM FESTIVAL, A1 especially the board, especially for a smoking policy. I just got a phone call saying ‘You can’t go back to the board this year.’” Tim Fennell, CEO of the fairgrounds, did not directly address the allegation in a statement sent to this newspaper. “Lawrence Bame is welcome to bring this issue before the Board later this year,” he wrote. “The 22nd DAA is waiting for the Department of Food and Agriculture to provide rules and regulations in order to proceed with these type of events.” Department of Food and Agriculture officials, reached last week, declined to discuss those rules and regulations, as they remain in progress. The Goodlife Festival was looking to draw upwards of 5,000 people with a blend of live music and cannabis education. Cannabis would not have been sold or
distributed, but attendees with medical marijuana cards would have been allowed to bring their own cannabis to smoke in designated areas, as allowed by state law. Cannabis advocates were hailing the festival as a watershed moment for San Diego’s cannabis scene, which has lagged far behind the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, where state-owned fairgrounds regularly hold massive cannabis festivals that span several days and draw more than 100,000 people. But uproar ensued after this newspaper broke the story on May 2. Anti-cannabis activists rallied to the cause, and councilmembers from Solana Beach and Del Mar called on the fairgrounds to cancel the festival. Members of the DAA board griped that the festival had been booked without their knowledge, despite the fact that Bame had been lobbying the board about a cannabis festival since 2010.
Bame said he finds it hypocritical that the fairgrounds continues to book events that the DAA board openly acknowledges draw thousands of pot smokers, yet went out of its way to crack down on his event, which is miniscule by comparison. “If you go to the racetrack’s concert this weekend, thousands and thousands of people will be smoking. But you can’t smoke at my event because it’s called a cannabis event? Very schizophrenic,” Bame said. “Or go to KAABOO: tens of thousands of people will be doing things against the rules. They’re expecting 50,000 each on Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping for maybe five, six thousand. That’s the nonsense about the whole thing that frankly I don’t know how to deal with. So I’m doing nothing. We’ve spent a lot of money and a lot of time to be rejected. I don’t want to do that again.”
Rescued dog from Iran with gunshot wound dies Hannah, a one-year-and-eight-month-old dog who arrived in Encinitas on July 27 after being rescued in Iran, died in surgery the following day. One year ago Hannah was shot in Iran and left on the side of the road. She was rescued by a family that took her in even though her hind legs were not working. Earlier this week she was flown from Iran to Los Angeles Airport with hopes of her recovery and eventual adoption at Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. “When Hannah arrived we took her to a local veterinary hospital for monitoring and evaluation,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. “She had an open wound and a serious infection where she had been shot. She was stabilized,
given fluids, and put on pain medication. When she was in surgery she had a reaction to the anesthesia. Because of her weakened state, her body was unable to battle back and she did not survive.” Hannah’s rescue from Iran was a group effort organized by the Julie and Bill Ruehle Foundation. Julie Ruehle says Hannah lived on a ranch outside of Tehran. When she had puppies, the rancher killed the pups then shot Hannah and left her on the side of a road. She was found by a family that operates an animal rescue out of their home. “We fell in love with Hannah before we ever met her,” Silveira said. “ — Submitted news release

FROM PORTABLES, A1 concerns,” Dill said at the meeting. “There were promises of more involvement and we didn’t do that and I’m sorry for that.” In his Aug. 1 letter to parents, Dill apologized again for “the disappointment and frustration many of you have shared with us.” “My hope is that this message will provide more certainty for our families as we work collaboratively to establish a trusting and productive relationship and to support our students’ success,” Dill wrote. One alternative presented on July 28 had been to split the program between the Earl Warren portables and one room at LCC. At parents’ urging, the district identified three classrooms at La Costa Canyon for the ATP program to use; three general purpose classrooms, connected by a workroom, and next to two accessible restrooms. Dill said there are some trade-offs with the LCC location, as it is in Carlsbad so it is not as centrally located as Earl Warren in Solana Beach, and there is little public transportation and fewer community amenities. “We believe this satisfies three of the frequent requests
ATP parents toured the portable classrooms at Earl Warren Middle School on July 28. we heard on Friday – move the program away from a middle school, place the program in permanent classrooms, and keep the students together,” Dill said. According to Dill, long-term plans for ATP, a stand-alone, specialized, four-year program for special education students ages 18-22, will include the construction of a permanent home, possibly at the Sunset High School campus in Encinitas or bringing the program to a community college such as Mira Costa.
At the July 28 meeting, parent Lucile Lynch thanked Dill for the opportunity for parents to share their concerns. Many parents voiced frustration that it seemed like the district was just now learning about their many concerns when they felt like they have been vocal for a long time. Over the last few years, parents of students with disabilities have spoken out several times — resulting in the formation of a special education parent forum in the
Life Tributes
summer of 2016. The forum met several times over the last year but member Lynch said that despite some parent input, their message was not properly communicated to the district. Parents also say they were misled about the ATP facilities— a floor plan for the facility was shared in fall 2016 and parents asked if they could provide input and were assured they would be able to at a later date, Lynch said. A time to provide input never came, not until May when
Everlasting memories of loved ones
Tomas G. Henderson May 14, 1935 - July 19, 2017
Del Mar — lCDr Tomas G. Henderson (ret.), 82, passed away Wednesday, July 19, 2017 with his wife lois at his side. Tom was born May 14, 1935 in eureka, Ca to the late Graham and Dean Henderson. He graduated from eureka High School and went on to graduate from the United States Naval academy, Ninth Company in June of 1959. Following graduation, Tom married lois ann Morrow, his wife of 57 years. Tom went on to graduate from the United States Naval Post Graduate School and american University and served 20 years as a naval aviator. He served with the VF 154 at Miramar NaS, then as a carrier pilot off the
USS Coral Sea and USS ranger during the Vietnam War, after qualifying off the Midway. Following retirement, Tom started Henderson Construction Company in 1977, where he specialized in custom home building and remodeling for the next 20 years.
Tom was an active member of his Del Mar community, serving as president of the Del Mar rotary Club and head usher for St. Peter’s episcopal Church. Tom and lois loved spending time with family and friends in Del Mar, Phoenix and Franklin, TN. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather, and one we could all look to for support, love and encouragement. Tom is survived by his wife lois; daughter, laurie (Bill) richmond of Phoenix, aZ; son, alan (Kim) Henderson of Franklin, TN; as well as four grandchildren, Molly and Maggie Henderson, and Kelly and allison
richmond. He is also survived by his sisters, Sue Pruden and Pam lundblade; brother, Don Henderson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station of San Diego or St. Peter’s legacy Fund. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/delmartimes.

parents first toured the portables, which many believed to be “separate and unequal” facilities in juxtaposition with the new middle school campus. “I think you have to flat-out admit that the mentality of our district for the last 10 years has been that ATP is just an afterthought,” said parent Mary Beyer. “We’ve just been put to the side and never given the same consideration as other students, whether it’s classrooms or curriculum. That’s how I see it. If the district doesn’t change its mentality it will all be the same. “Our kids are important and our kids matter. Our parent group cares about our kids and the future that they have.” “Absolutely, that’s not my mentality to treat any of our programs as an afterthought,” Dill responded. Parents also wanted accountability for what they felt was a breakdown in planning and suggested someone should be fired for not doing their job. Dill shouldered the responsibility for former special education director Chuck Adams, who is now an assistant principal in the district. There is currently no director of special education and Meredith Wadley, the new director of school and student services, is now leading the program. “I’m sick to my stomach with some of the stuff that has happened to you,” Wadley, near tears, told the parents. “I just want to move forward and just want to make this right for the kids.” One parent pointed out, however, that the parents’ concerns are far bigger than just the portables. In June parents of special education
students handed over a 41-page petition to the district outlining the many ways they hope the district can reform a “broken” special education program, calling out “inadequate” curriculum and too low expectations in addition to the lack of equal treatment in facilities planning, not being included in Prop AA funding or planning. Wadley said that the district needs to develop a strategic plan for special education overall — she said it is a lofty goal but her goal is to get it done. Like Wadley and Dill, the two SDUHSD board members present, Amy Herman and Mo Muir, also stated their commitment to concentrating on the ATP program and finding solutions. In her comments, Lynch advocated for a special education oversight committee to ensure public noticing, public input and board reporting. Muir pushed for establishing the standing special education committee to be put on a future board agenda and a special meeting was called on Aug. 2 for the board to consider the formation of the task force. According to Dill’s message to ATP parents, the purpose of the task force will be to engage in a long-term strategic planning process for special education services. The meetings of the group will include formal agendas and be publicly noticed with a planned sequence of topics to work through over the course of the school year. The task force work would result in recommendations in the spring for implementation beginning in the 2018-19 school year. Some of the topics to be discussed would include alignment of curriculum with California standards, post-secondary transition, parent outreach and engagement, career pathways and electives, community partnerships and engagement, professional development for certificated and classified staff, developing independence, equity and inclusion, and facilities issues. “The task force will review and make recommendations regarding facilities for our specialized programs to ensure a cohesive long-term facilities plan for these programs,” Dill wrote. “ As part of this, the task force will evaluate and recommend options for permanent placement of the ATP classrooms.”

he “Striking A Chord” benefit concert, which was held July 29 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, raised more than $30,000 for the ALS Association Greater San Diego Chapter. The benefit was conceived by Carmel Valley resident Megan Spector after her Aunt Marjie Block was diagnosed with ALS. Currently there is no cure for this disease, and the life expectancy of patients is tragically short, typically two to five years from diagnosis. Megan’s aunt has defied this statistic and continues to wage her daily fight with ALS, which is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the famous New York Yankees baseball star. Hosted by 27-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and author Jane Mitchell, the event featured a variety of singers from across the United States. One-hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the ALS Association to support finding a cure for this disease. Visit web.alsa.org and web.alsa.org/strikingachord Online: delmartimes.net

‘Salsa Under the Stars’ brings night of dancing to Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING Some of the best dancers in San Diego will come together on Saturday, Aug. 12 for Salsa Under the Stars, a night of dancing at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The salsa social will include free professional dance instruction, social dancing and exciting performances from world-class dancers in the plaza between restaurants Westroot Tavern, Dolce, Wokou and Crudo. While attendees can expect to hear a lot of salsa, other popular music genres include Cha Cha, Merengue, Bachata, Reggaeton and Latin hip hop. The event will also feature a raffle to raise funds for local dance nonprofits such as Dance Away Dementia, Soldiers who Salsa and Dance After School. A second salsa night is slated for Saturday, Sept. 9. Salsa Under the Stars is the passion project of Randy Kish, a local resident who runs Carpe Soul Productions. A former world champion amateur dancer, Kish has been working for years to bring salsa to the Carmel Valley community. Kish said North County in general lacks both salsa dance venues as well as dance instruction.
Alma Latina will perform at Salsa Under the Stars on Aug. 12. “Carmel Valley, with its countless exercise-oriented facilities and studios geared toward our children, is void of both dance instruction and dance venues for adults who want to learn to dance,” Kish said. “I bring in world class salsa instruction and performance into a community where there’s a lack of
it. This is about bringing the salsa scene here and helping people develop a passion for it like I did.” Kish said he also believes the high-energy event can help infuse life into the Village on weekend nights. He said at times the evenings can be buzzing with foot traffic, however, it consistently

slows at 8:30 to 9 p.m. as patrons leave for other venues that offer dancing. “Those types of venues should not close early,” said Kish of Westroot, Dolce, Wokou and Crudo. “Salsa night provides a viable method to both increase foot traffic and create a magnetism to keep
customers, both adults and families with kids, in the plaza and filling seats in these fine new restaurants.” Salsa Under the Stars will begin on Aug. 12 with 7 p.m. kid and teen performances from the World Champion Alma Latina Kids. From 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., there will be world-class salsa instruction from Josh Gorden (founder of Salsa on the Beach in San Diego) and Bianca Chapman, who with her partner Segio Jasso (director of San Diego’s Alma Latina Dance Company) is ranked second in the world in the On2 Professional Salsa division of World Latin Dance. From 8:30 to 10 p.m., there will be social dancing in the plaza with international DJ “Mambo” Castillo. Beginning at 10:30 p.m., people will get the opportunity to watch performances from professional dancers, including Mike Cahill and Erica Saucillo, who are prepping for the world stage at New York International Salsa Congress, a two-week Latin music and dance festival; and Alma Latino Pro, world champions five times over. From 11:45 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., the party moves indoors with Latin hip hop music and dancing inside Westroot Tavern and Wokou. Visit phrvillage.com.

“Extraordinary Properties” for “Extraordinary Lives”
Angelique Kidjo brings her exhilarating song stylings to San Diego
La Costa Steal
Symphony’s Bayside Summer Nights Aug. 13. COURTESY
NOT IN MLS!
August: Hot time for music at Bayside Summer Nights
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ngelique Kidjo. She’s not exactly a household name here, but she’s been called “Africa’s Greatest Living Diva” and “the Undisputed Queen of African Music,” and she’s one of this month’s headliners at San Diego Symphony’s Bayside Summer Nights concert series. Catch her on YouTube, and you’ll want to see her in person on Aug. 13. Among her influences are Miriam Makeba, Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana, but her style is her own. She sings in Yoruba, Swahili, French and English, mixing AfroBeat and traditional sounds from her native Benin with rock, soul and salsa. A multiple Grammy-winner, Kidjo has performed with Dr. John (another Bayside headliner), Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, and the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra — and Philip Glass has set three of her poems to music. She now lives in Brooklyn, tours widely, recently won raves for a Carnegie Hall concert of Talking Heads songs, and has been honored not only for her music, but for her activism on behalf of UNICEF, OXFAM and African women’s rights. If you’ve never been to one of the Bayside concerts, you’re in for a treat. The setting is stunning: you go from daylight to sunset to moon-glow overlooking a waterfront panorama, this year’s lineup is more varied then ever, and it’s a perfect way to spend an August evening. Other upcoming attractions include bossa nova king Sergio Mendes (Aug.
A
6), the one and only Tony Bennett (Aug. 15), and the soulful Commodores (Aug. 26). There’s also a special salute to Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, the musical team behind “Fiddler on the Roof,” featuring the 2016 Tony-nominated Tevye, Danny Burstein — sadly, no relation to me. Besides everyone’s favorite “Fiddler” hits, there will be a selection of songs from lesser-known shows by the late composer Bock and the still-active, 93-year-old lyricist Harnick (Aug. 18 and 19, with post-concert fireworks included). According to Martha Gilmer, who has been the Symphony’s CEO since 2014: “Last year, attendance at the Bayside series was record-breaking, and ticket sales this year have already exceeded last year’s total! We’ve really stretched the range of artists we’re bringing in, and we’re reaching out to more varied audiences. “We have a first-class sound system, we’ve enhanced our LED screen so you can have an excellent view no matter where you sit, and we have great food, wine and beer available too. We want to make the whole experience as wonderful as possible.” ■ IF YOU GO: All concerts take place at the Embarcadero Marina South, gates open at 6 p.m. and concerts start at 7:30 p.m. Bring your own picnic — excluding glass containers and alcoholic beverages — or choose from offerings at the food and refreshment plaza.

Mendocino Farms at Del Mar Highlands Town Center brings husband and wife full circle BY SEBASTIAN MONTES In the midst of looking in on their restaurant-in-the making at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen take pause among the clamor of drills and hammers to consider the happily circuitous path that dates back to the day more than 15 years ago when Mario proposed to Ellen atop the bluffs of Dog Beach in Del Mar. The serendipity isn’t lost on the husband-and-wife team as they talk excitedly about returning to the Del Mar area to open the latest—and biggest—location of Mendocino Farms, their refined-but-casual eatery known for an uncompromising devotion to sandwiches and salads made exclusively from seasonal, carefully-chosen ingredients. Their venture now boasts 15 locations, mostly in and around Los Angeles. The opening of their 16th location has already given them the chance to reconnect with the many families they knew when Chen, a UCSD grad, lived in Del Mar. No coincidence, then, that they’re pulling out all the stops in transforming the 4,000-square-foot space that was formerly Carnitas’ Snack Shack and the Nekter Juice Bar that had been next door. When it opens at the end of this month — Aug. 24 is penciled-in as the grand opening — the new outpost will try to build on the popularity of the La Jolla location they
opened eight months ago, the first of five that they hope to bring to the San Diego area. Crafted by architects Bluemotif and interior designers Vanrooy (another husband-and-wife team), the space will feature a “coastal bohemian” blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, defined by flourishes that include a living wall more than 30 feet tall, a “secret garden” and art installation for children to cavort and create, Moroccan tile rugs, a communal table, an outdoor fireplace, even a cornhole court. “Our passion is to give people that same experience you want from a full-service restaurant — quality of food, quality of environment — yet we can break a ton of rules the full-service restaurants can’t,” Del Pero said over the commotion of workmen hammering and drilling and sawing away at the herringbone wood, scarcely any drywall in sight. “We want to be a gathering place. Go ahead and let your kids run around. Go ahead and stay at this table for three hours. Don’t even spend. If you want to just meet people, come on over here and hang out. We want this to be a place that parents know they can come with their kids but still have upscale food in an upscale environment. We’re not just saying it; we’re backing it up with square footage.” But for all the doting over decor and design, Mendocino Farms has made its name on the food. Its produce is delivered daily from Jeff
SEBASTIAN MONTES
More than a decade after getting engaged atop the bluffs of Dog Beach, husband-and-wife Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen are opening the 16th location of the L.A.-based Mendocino Farms this month at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Stein’s Scarborough Farms in Oxnard. They smoke their own meats at their central kitchen. The only chicken they’ll serve comes from Mary’s Organic Chicken in San Joaquin Valley. On tap, they’ll feature four wines and eight beers, seven of which will be local. Craving artisanal soft serve? They’ve got that, too, from Sweet Rose Creamery in L.A. “Health is so important down here, people really care about the ingredients they put into their bodies,” Chen says. “It’s a really great way to eat, so I think there’s just a great alignment.” Adds her husband: “For us it’s not how

many can we open, it’s what special places can we take this?” Del Pero says. “This has been one of the special places we’ve been looking at since I proposed to her. This would likely be the neighborhood we would live in if we didn’t live where we do, so it’s really exciting for us to be able to share this particular store with a neighborhood that we think so highly of. That’s why probably we put so much into it. This is by far our most expensive build out. This is for Del Mar, it’s our gift to the neighborhood.” Location: 12873, El Camino Real, San Diego, 92130. mendocinofarms.com/del-mar

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
Afraid of Spiders? When Telangiectasia is More than just Spider Veins Telangiectasia is more commonly known as spider veins, the generally innocuous cousin to varicose veins. Whereas varicose veins are the large rope-like weakened veins that carry the greater risk of deepvein thrombosis, spider veins tend to be the damaged blood vessels just below the surface of the skin, appearing like tiny purple spider webs. But does that mean there’s never a risk with telangiectasia? There are a few circumstances when spider veins may be a symptom of something else at work in the body. One condition is called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), sometimes called Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. This is hereditary and rare, but
HHT is a disorder that involves multiple abnormalities in the blood vessels, as well as arteriovenous malformations, including in the liver, lungs, and brain. Patients with HHT may also experience gastro-intestinal bleeding. Normally, blood carrying oxygen to the heart from the lungs is pumped at high pressure into the arteries, which allows the blood to get from the arteries into the smaller vessels and capillaries at a much lower pressure, where the blood will supply the body’s tissues with oxygen. Then, the blood goes from the capillaries into the veins and then back to the heart. However, with HHT, arteriovenous malformations occur, which means that arterial vessels flow straight to the veins instead of through the capillaries, and when it presents near the skin’s surface, they appear as red markings— telangiectases, or spider veins. Because the capillaries act as a buffer, slowing down the blood pressure, the blood flows at a high pressure straight to the veins, which are less elastic and thinner-walled. Because of the extra pressure on the venous walls, blood vessels are strained and enlarged, which can irritate or compress adjacent tissues. Sometimes HHT can cause frequent
and even severe hemorrhage, including nosebleeds. If this is the case, frequently there is also hemorrhaging in organs such as the liver, lungs, and brain. There are different types of HHT, some of which present symptoms earlier, or may involve common bleeding or leakage in different organs. Frequently, patients with HHT develop reddish-purple mucocutaneous lesions, especially in the nose, lips, and tongue. But these lesions also may occur in the upper respiratory tract, the GI tract, and in some cases, even the bronchi, bladder, and vagina. Acute hemorrhage or chronic slow bleeding may lead to anemia. In extreme cases, arteriovenous malformations in the respiratory system—pulmonary AVMs— may cause stroke, high-output heart failure, or cerebral abscess. AVMs of the liver can also cause high-output cardiac failure or cirrhosis. Somewhere between 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 8,000 people have a form of HHT. HHT often doesn’t present symptoms until the teenage years. However, it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. In one study involving patients with HHT, 74% had vascular abnormalities but only 8% showed symptoms.
Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at www.lajollalight.com/our-columns/
So should you worry at the first sign of spider veins? Of course not. But it is important to be alert to what your body is telling you. Most cases of telangiectasia occur because of heredity and normal pressure on the veins. Patients with HHT benefit from early diagnoses, and unless there is cirrhosis of the liver or a severe hemorrhage, rarely is there an effect on lifespan. What you should remember is how much the body is interconnected, organs and tissues working together, with the circulatory system feeding all of them. While you don’t want to become a hypochondriac, it’s also important not to put off any diagnosis or treatment. Keep your doctor apprised of any changes in your body, especially if lesions form or regular abnormal bleeding occurs. And for those with arachnophobia, we understand that while most spiders are harmless, sometimes you still want to get rid of them. At SD Vein Institute, we make it virtually painless and easy to do, even on a lunch break visit.

Chickpea may be a bit shy, but she is the sweetest little lady once she gets to know you. She has a heart murmur so we won’t be running any marathons, but she can live a happy, healthy life snuggled up on your couch. Chickpea is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 5500 Gaines Street. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

Dwayne’s medical team, which includes professionals from both Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Companion Animal Hospital and the California Veterinary Specialists, determined July 27 that there may be an even better course of treatment for the loveable pup . The team will be launching a nation-wide search for the best experts to consult on his unique case. Those wishing to follow his story can find updates at animalcenter.org/news/dwaynes-journey.
