DM drawing up new rules for dogs on beach

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s a conundrum that has hounded city officials, beachgoers and dog owners for years: Del Mar’s long-standing practice of dogs running free along the oceanfront is in open violation of the city’s own rules.

And now, after an especially contentious summer at the beach — which some residents likened to a “war zone” — new rules are taking shape that would divide the beach during the early-morning hours, with dogs allowed off-leash in the north end of the beach and banned altogether in the south.

For a city eager to maintain its reputation for dog-friendliness, the conflict has struck a deep nerve, forcing the city council to take steps to codify ways to accommodate competing interests that have for years co-existed without following the letter of the law.

The issue flared early this summer after a woman walking the beach was attacked by dogs and assaulted by their owner.

The incident prompted police intervention and set off an uptick in citations.

Dog owners responded with a petition that has garnered more than 1,500 signatures.

It calls on Del Mar to let dogs be off-leash from dawn to 8 a.m. from 20th Street north to the mouth of the San Dieguito River. From 20th Street south to the northern end of Powerhouse Park, dogs would need to be on leashes. No dogs would be allowed south of that.

Existing rules would remain in place after 8 a.m.

More than a dozen dog owners brought their case to the city council on Monday, Aug. 7 in an outpouring of emotion that included a letter light-heartedly written in the voice of one resident’s dog promising, in part, to share the beach with SEE DOGS, A18

San Dieguito district forms special education task force

BY KAREN BILLING For the last several months, parents of special education students in the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) have been working to make their voices heard.

Parents have protested in front of the district office, filed a petition and often filled the district board room to advocate for reform for the special education curriculum and facilities such as the portables for the Adult Transition Program (ATP).

In a response to their suggestions, the district board voted to form a special education task force at a special meeting held on Aug. 2.

Carmel Valley board says cell tower bill removes local input

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board is concerned that a proposed new state law may streamline the process for the construction of cellular antennas on public property and cut them completely out of the conversation.

At its July 27 meeting, the planning board voted 10-1 to send a letter to Mayor Kevin Faulconer urging him to join other mayors in opposing Senate Bill 649 and the construction of cellular antennas on public property without local review.

Members of the planning board are worried the law would accelerate approval and take away community input on the visual impact the cell sites have on the community as well as the placement of equipment boxes; many feel public right of way shouldn’t be dictated by the state.

“From our point of view we believe that this legislation was probably written by people associated with the cell industry so

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The long-stewing controversy over Del Mar’s embattled chief lifeguard is coming to a close after more than four months that stoked outrage and demands for his reinstatement — but it remains unclear whether its root causes will ever see the light of day.

Patrick Vergne, head lifeguard and director of community services, was suspended this spring after two

employees in his department filed a pair of complaints against him. The city hired special counsel to lead an investigation that involved testimony from 20 witnesses and hundreds of documents. Another employee in the community services department — administrative assistant Liza Rogers — was also suspended as part of the investigation.

The black walls along the Carmel Mountain Road and Drycliff Avenue frontages of the Merge mixed-use project will be removed.

Merge walls to come down

BY KAREN BILLING Following complaints from neighbors about the black walls along the Carmel Mountain Road and Drycliff Avenue frontages of the Merge mixed-use project, developer Gary Levitt has agreed to take them down.

Levitt made the announcement at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s July 27 meeting —residents in the neighboring

Highlands Village had complained to the board about the wall at its June meeting.

“It’s unfortunate it came to this, but I think it will be a better project,” Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White said.

Four candidates in the running for 49th Congressional District election

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Three people have filed so far to run against incumbent Congressman Darrell Issa in the 49th Congressional District of California election next year.

Retired Marine Col. Douglas Applegate, businessman Paul Kerr and environmental attorney Mike Levin have thrown their hats in the ring for the primary election on Nov. 6, 2018.

The 49th Congressional District of California includes cities in the southern portion of the state, including South Orange County and the North San Diego cities of Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Carlsbad, Vista, Oceanside and Camp Pendleton.

Applegate, Kerr and Levin will participate in a candidates forum presented by the Democratic Club of Vista on Aug. 12 from 10

a.m. to noon at 1234 North Santa Fe Avenue in Vista.

Those interested in attending should register at http://bit.ly/2hp0otK. 49th Congressional District of California candidates so far (in alphabetical order):

Douglas Applegate • Age: 63 • City of residence: San Clemente • Time lived in 49th Congressional District: 30-plus years • Political Party: Democrat • Professional occupation: Marine Colonel (retired), Infantry Officer, Judge Advocate, Civil & Criminal Trial Attorney • Education: Arizona State University • Previous public service: 32 years active and reserve service, Marine Corps.

SANDAG Executive Director to retire SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos, who has led the agency since 2001, announced recently that he will retire by the end of the calendar year.

“Gary Gallegos will leave us as a giant in regional planning and transportation,” said SANDAG Chair and County Supervisor Ron Roberts.

“His drive and effectiveness as a transportation leader are nationally renowned, particularly when it comes to bringing investment into our community and getting creative projects started and completed. While he will be sorely missed, I must honor his decision.”

Gallegos, 57, has overseen the agency for 16 years.

“While retirement has been on my mind for some time, my goal during the last few months has been to help SANDAG and our incredibly talented team through the process of an independent examination of our forecasting efforts, as well as keep the organization moving forward on major initiatives such as the construction of the Mid-Coast Trolley extension and South Bay Rapid, along with planning for the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry.

“Those goals have been achieved,” Gallegos continued. “The independent examination found that SANDAG did not intentionally mislead the public or the board

regarding its forecast. The board has implemented a plan to address issues related to the forecast. And the board will consider additional recommendations from the independent examination.

“Moving forward, with the board’s support my intention is to work hard at keeping this organization focused on all of our very important initiatives and give the Board of Directors time to consider next steps,” Gallegos said.

In 2004, Gallegos led the effort to extend TransNet, a regional half-cent sales tax for transportation; 67 percent of county voters approved the extension. To date, the TransNet program has invested approximately $3 billion – and attracted another $10 billion in state and federal matching funds – to build approximately 20 major highway and Managed Lane projects and almost 30 transit projects throughout the region. The TransNet program also has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to local roads and streets, environmental protection, and smart growth programs.

Before joining SANDAG, Gallegos held the position of district director for Caltrans District 11, covering San Diego and Imperial counties. He holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of New Mexico and is a registered civil engineer. – Submitted press release

Author plunges into ‘The Power of Plagues’

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES More than a decade later, Irwin W. Sherman has the book he’d always imagined.

But first, a flashback to 1988: Sherman — then a professor of parasitology and invertebrate zoology at the University of California-Riverside — is looking for a new course to teach, just as the world is gripped by the panic surrounding HIV and AIDS. Amid the pandemonium, he can’t help but be struck by students’ shoddy sense of the full immensity that is infectious disease. So he devises a course aimed at non-science students, one he hopes will bring relevance to diseases dating back to the bubonic plague.

“I was fascinated by the fact that the students of that time were really unaware of most infectious diseases except for AIDS,” he said recently in his Del Mar home. “So I thought maybe I ought to enlighten them by developing a course that covered infectious diseases with a kind of historical context, including AIDS but talking about diseases such as smallpox, tuberculosis and malaria, so that they could gain an appreciation of where HIV/AIDS stood in the panoply of diseases.”

Sherman would go on to teach that course for 10 years, part of his 40 years at UC-Riverside that along the way included time as dean of the school’s College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. And flash forward another 10 years: a dozen books and more than 150 scientific papers have come out

Accomplished singer Gary Puckett to perform at Vision of Children benefit in RSF

BY ROB LEDONNE It was exactly 50 years ago this August that music producer Jerry Fuller was in a bowling alley in San Diego when he heard a then-unknown Gary Puckett for the first time. From there, Fuller helped make a star of Puckett and his band the Union Gap, resulting in six consecutive gold records and a number of classic hits, including “Young Girl,” “Woman, Woman,” and “Lady Willpower.”

Now, Puckett is getting ready to head back to San Diego for a good cause, headlining a show to raise funds for the Vision of Children Foundation, a local charity whose mission is to cure genetic vision disorders and childhood blindness.

“I just like everything the charity stands for,” says Puckett from his Florida home.

“Co-founders Sam and Vivian Hardage have a child who has a genetic disorder and they’re very serious about what they’re doing. So many of the charities out there look good on paper, but then you find out most of the money goes to the bureaucracy of it. Vision of Children does a great job at bringing in money that goes directly to research and development.”

The Sept. 8 event at Rancho Santa Fe’s Fairbanks Ranch Country Club is a homecoming of sorts for Puckett, who grew up in Idaho and moved to Claremont after graduating high school. It was in San Diego where he planted the seeds for his later musical stardom.

“August 17th is the 50th anniversary of recording our first hit, ‘Woman, Woman,’”

We had a 30-piece orchestra set up in a circle in Studio A at Columbia Records.”

From there the band had a successful run

in the late ’60s and early ’70s, laying a foundation for musical success that’s sturdy to this day. “The songs just get under your skin and that’s what still keeps me active,” said Puckett, who, in later years, moved with his wife to Florida’s Tampa Bay area. “The fact is, the people of my era still love their SEE PUCKETT, A18

Debut set for local man’s first feature film ‘Get Big’

BY JOE TASH Ever since Dylan Moran was a kid, he wanted to make movies. Growing up, he and his friends and cousins made countless short films on a home video camera.

On Sept. 1, he’ll get his chance – along with audiences – to see his work on the big screen, as his first feature film, “Get Big,” which he wrote, directed and co-stars in, debuts at AMC theaters in Fashion Valley, La Jolla and Mission Valley.

Moran, 24, splits his time between Los Angeles and his family’s home in Rancho Santa Fe. He’s a 2015 graduate of the USC film school, and he’s excited about the prospect of audiences seeing his first movie, which is about two friends and their adventures leading up to a high school classmate’s wedding.

“It’s amazing. I’m really excited to show this on the big screen,” Moran said. In spite of the many short films he’s made over the years, “I haven’t done anything of this magnitude before.”

Moran calls “Get Big” a “coming-of-age comedy,” which is loosely based on his own experiences of coming home from college during the summer and hanging out with his high school friends (Moran attended San Pasqual High School in Escondido).

“I really just wanted to make a movie to show that relationship we had, the good

Filmmaker Dylan Moran (behind the camera) wrote, directed and co-stars in his first feature film, “Get Big.” times we had entertaining each other,” said Moran, who names Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Judd Apatow, Richard Linklater and Paul Thomas Anderson as his greatest influences.

Moran said he had been writing action scripts with wild plot lines, akin to “Pulp Fiction,” but the stories just didn’t feel authentic.

“I wanted to write something more true to life, more honest, and this is what I came up with,” he said.

Moran said his character is an “exaggerated version of my personality,” who reconnects with a high school friend, played by actor Tanner Stine. The film takes place over a 24-hour period, as the two friends look to buy marijuana and enjoy

each other’s company. “It’s about them zig-zagging around town before the wedding,” he said.

According to the movie’s website, www.getbigmovie.com, the pair “cross paths with oddball cops, curmudgeonly neighbors, drug dealers, psychopaths, escorts and pretty girls.”

Moran said the movie is considered a “micro-budget indie film” because it cost less than $250,000 to make, and it was not affiliated with a studio. As a new filmmaker, Moran relied on favors from family and friends, who allowed the use of homes, restaurants and other places for filming.

Family and friends also provided financing for such items as actor salaries and equipment. Moran’s father, Anthony

Moran, was an investor, and is listed on the film credits as executive producer.

Because of the timing of the film’s completion, Moran said, he would have had to wait several months to be eligible to enter it into a film festival. Instead, he and his colleagues approached the AMC movie chain, which has a program to support independent films such as his.

AMC liked the movie and agreed to screen it at three locations over Labor Day weekend, Moran said. If the film does well enough, he said, the engagement could go longer and be expanded to more screens outside of San Diego.

“This is an opportunity for film-goers to see something very new and very fresh,” he said, and predicted that the actors in the film will have successful careers. “It’s a chance for people to see these young actors before they make it big.”

One of his challenges in making the film, Moran said, was having to act on-camera for the first time. But he said it helped to have the inspiration of Stine, his co-star, a professional actor.

“The part felt too personal for me not to play it, so I went ahead and did it and I think it worked out for the best,” he said.

Moran urged people to follow the film on its website, Facebook and other social media. He’s already writing a new screenplay, and said his next film will be easier to make if this one does well.

He’s eager to get to work on his next project, he said, because, “I love doing this so much.”

Del Mar History: Want to catch a flight to Chicago? Did you know that...

In the 1940s and 1950s you could do just that from right here in Del Mar! The Del Mar Airport was located southeast of the present Del Mar Fairgrounds parking lot. If you can orient yourself in the picture, you will notice that what was once an airport is now our beautifully restored San Dieguito Lagoon.

The airstrip was originally built in 1943 as a base during World War II. Giant Navy blimps were seen coming and going as well as fighter planes. After the war, the county bought the site for $1 and then proceeded to lease it out as a county airport. The airport had a lounge and even a restaurant:

Tony Jacal’s. With the coming of Interstate 5 (which now runs right through the middle of the old runway), the airport was closed and the rest is history as they say.

My how things have changed!

Dr. Soccer Del Mar physician represents his country on US Medical Soccer Team

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar physician Puya Hosseini recently became the first US Medical Soccer Team player to score a hat trick, netting three goals in one game at the World Medical Football Championship in Leogang, Austria this summer.

The US Medical Soccer Team is comprised of soccer-loving doctors like Hosseini from all over the country. Once a year, they represent the U.S. in the World Medical Football Championship, alongside doctors competing for 20 other countries from around the world. Community outreach is also a large part of the US Medical Soccer Team as the physicians are committed to educating youth on the benefits of an active lifestyle and healthy nutrition through their program “Healthy Fit and Smart.”

“Soccer is by far my favorite sport so I’ve made an effort to play on adult leagues ever since finishing school,” said Hosseini, a 36-year-old anesthesiologist. “But to be a part of this organization is something totally different. I’m on a team with other health care professionals and we represent our country while trying to do good in communities. That’s very special.”

This year the U.S. team was unfortunately unable to advance from their group in the tournament but Hosseini made history with his hat trick in a match against South Korea.

“It was probably the best game I’ve ever had for the team,” said Hosseini, who played in his first tournament with the team in 2013.

The forward and attacking midfielder scored his first goal just taking a chance on a ball going back to their goalie, seeing an opportunity and charging. His second goal was “set up on a silver platter” by an excellent pass from a teammate and the last was a diving header off a driven cross. He also had an assist in the game.

A native of Santa Rosa, Hosseini grew up playing soccer and played on the UC Riverside club soccer team before attending UCLA Medical School. Hosseini is currently in private practice with Anesthesia Service Medical Group (ASMG) and works mostly at Scripps Green Hospital.

The US Medical Soccer Team holds tryouts every year and a selection committee works with the coach to choose the players who will compete in the international tournament. While their soccer abilities factor into the decision, the committee also considers their contribution to the team’s educational and philanthropic identity.

In 2016, the team held a Physician’s Soccer Summit in conjunction with the tryouts. Each morning players and guest speakers gave lectures on their field of specialty, usually with a focus on sports or exercise-related issues, such as taking a look at the newest studies and data surrounding concussions and Chronic Traumatic

Encephalopathy (CTE), something that is having a big impact on youth and adult sports alike.

“Players who are interested in joining our team can see immediately that we’re more than just a sports team, we’re physicians that are devoted to our pledge of lifelong learning and service,” Hosseini said.

The team is made up of doctors from various fields, from all over the country. On defense there is a cardiologist from Columbus, Ohio; an orthopedic surgeon from South Carolina roams the midfield with a pediatric hospitalist from Baltimore; a pediatric pulmonology doctor from Baton Rouge plays forward; and at keeper is a family medicine physician from Thousand Oaks.

“One of the disadvantages of being such a large nation is that it’s difficult to practice with each other,” Hosseini said. “Some smaller countries are comprised of guys that live relatively close together and, as a result, get to play with each other all the time. This effect on developing team chemistry cannot be overstated. But for us, logistically it’s very difficult to set aside the time and money to do more than a few practices per year.”

The team typically meets three times a year, trying to select locations that are fair for everyone such as Salt Lake City, Casa Grande (Arizona), Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Columbus (Ohio).

Every time the team gets together to practice, they participate in their Healthy, Fit, and Smart outreach program. They typically work with a local Boys & Girls Club and have several stations the kids can rotate through, such as one on the importance of nutrition and healthy eating and one on exercise, with players leading the kids through drills and games.

Hosseini has found the most joy in the set of stations where they talk to kids about careers in medicine. Being an anesthesiologist, it has been fun for him to SEE SOCCER, A18

Reviewing San Dieguito’s missteps

T

he most recent misstep at the San Dieguito Union High School District centers on the lack of planning for adequate facilities for the Adult Transition Program, which serves special education students ages 18-22.

But there have been others. Besides the ones listed last week, no recitation could be complete without discussing the district’s precarious financial status.

SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill’s yearly prediction that the district nearly always manages to close its deficit by the end of the fiscal year, thanks to careful planning and conservative estimates, did not come to pass this time.

Final figures will be available this month, but Dill told me a deficit is anticipated. At the May board meeting, the deficit was estimated to be about $8.5 million.

As the deficit grows, reserves decline. With mandatory pension contributions rising, the trend line is alarming.

In May, the district showed projected reserves dwindling from 12.2 percent in 2016-2017, to 8.8 percent in 2017-2018, to 4.9 percent in 2018-2019, to 3.3 percent in 2019-2020.

Contributions to CalSTRS (the California State Teachers Retirement System) are projected to increase from 8.25 percent of teacher salaries in 2013-2014 to 19.1 percent by 2020-2021.

Districts can expect contribution increases to CalPERS (the California Public Employees Retirement System) as well. The projected rate for 2020-2021 approaches 24.9 percent, with a top rate of 28.2 percent in 2023-2024.

A major factor eroding the district’s general fund is the 12.5-percent salary increase given to all district employees last year, amounting to an annual expense of $6.5 million.

District management in late 2015 and early 2016 assured the board that there was plenty of money for this $6.5 million expenditure well into the future.

Three of the five school board members drank the Kool-Aid and approved the increase in compensation which was given to every district employee, not just teachers.

Although the financial health of school districts is ultimately a board responsibility, the superintendent oversees all operations in the district, always with an eye toward the bottom line.

To be fair, Dill did not propose the $6.5 million raises. Yet as head of Business Services under thensuperintendent Rick Schmitt, Dill knew the numbers and had to realize that it was risky to incur that much in general fund expense, an expenditure that will never go away. Now as superintendent, he’s responsible for undoing the damage.

The district’s false optimism and poor financial

www.delmartimes.net planning will negatively affect all programs unless the state suddenly enjoys a miraculous infusion of cash in coming years. With Gov. Jerry Brown predicting an end to the last few years of economic growth, new money seems unlikely.

As a result, parents can expect to be asked more insistently to donate to school foundations and classrooms for items and programs the school district should be funding.

School board members are not fulfilling their primary duty to safeguard taxpayer money when they put complete faith in empty promises that the budget may begin the fiscal year looking dire but will end with a rosy outcome.

Facility priorities The passage of Proposition AA, narrow though it was, gave the district an opportunity to update facilities and provide new construction to meet 21st-century needs of students.

So how did sports become the top priority for Prop.

AA funds, over classrooms?

Was it right for the district to prioritize millions of dollars to build athletic fields at Canyon Crest Academy before any number of other facility needs, such as permanent state-of-the-art ATP classrooms?

Why was construction of athletic fields at the 22-acre La Costa Valley site, where there is no school and no students attend classes, ahead of so many other more pressing needs on the project list?

In a related matter, should the district’s foundations be occupying space at all four high schools free of charge? Could these rooms be used instead by students or teachers?

Although it’s good that Dill was able to place all three Adult Transition Program classrooms together at La Costa Canyon High School, to the relief of ATP parents, why did he tell the SOUL Charter School founders that there was no room for them at LCC or SEE SUTTON, A17

OUR READERS WRITE Listening to the public – an open letter to the DM Council Dear Mayor and Councilmembers, It is so troubling to realize that the speakers and those who take time to appear before you and send in Red Dot letters are seldom listened to by the Council. If you do, it is hard to find any correlation between what is said or written and the ultimate decisions that are rendered.

As for the Sheriff vs. Police Department issue, it just grinds on because three votes cannot be generated in favor of one or the other, even when common sense, public testimony and written letters so overwhelmingly support the retention of our sheriff services. It’s maddening, to say the very least.

The report generated by a company biased toward the creation of our own police force has cost at least $75,000 plus hours upon hours of staff time to try to trump up support for the police force option. It’s like trying to force a square peg into a round rathole.

If the PD option is chosen, it will be by far an even greater mistake than the Council deciding not to purchase the Historic Train Station when offered the first opportunity by Catellus a few years ago. I come close to tears when I think about

that disastrous mistake. Please do not repeat that mistake by choosing to create a stand-alone police force. Please read between the lines and try to visualize the future under a Del Mar police force. It does not fit the culture of Del Mar, especially at this time when we have so many pressing projects and responsibilities. We can’t even handle the Pat Vergne issue without a major investigation. How would we ever be able to manage a police force?

A review of the weekly Sheriff activity report clearly indicates that there is very little crime within our city, and the STRs in our residential areas have been practically eliminated, one of the reasons this PD issue came about in the first place.

Going forward, I hope Sherryl’s visit with the Sheriff’s Department leadership brings forth ways that their services can be enhanced to the Council’s liking. The public is tiring of this irritating issue not being resolved in favor of the continuation of our Sheriff services. As one of you pointed out, the three candidates who spoke in favor of the establishment of a Del Mar Police Department were all defeated in the last election.

Beloved dog likely killed by coyote Thank you for your article about the increase in

coyote attacks. Unfortunately, it was printed five days too late for our beloved Chihuahua, Cassie, who disappeared from our yard on July 29. After scouring the neighborhood for days, placing flyers, checking shelters and signing up with numerous lost pet agencies, we hired a canine search and rescue team to help find our dog.

Unfortunately, all signs from the dogs and their handler led us to believe that Cassie was killed by a coyote. No remains were found, but there were lots of coincidences that pointed in that direction. From what Cassie the handler pieced together, Cassie was taken by a coyote that jumped over the fence into our yard, and then jumped back out with her. The trail went cold in the canyon behind Del Mar Heights Elementary School. Never in a million years did we imagine this would happen to us. We are absolutely devastated, and can only hope that our story will prevent other pets from facing the same fate.

FROM CHIEF LIFEGUARD, A2 As the probe dragged into July, Vergne filed a counter-complaint against City Manager Scott Huth that required separate investigation and compelled the city council to hire its own outside counsel.

Both investigations were completed

by July 31, and executive summaries will be given at the end of this week to the city council and relevant city staff, according to City Attorney Leslie Devaney. She made the announcement after the council met in closed session prior to its regular meeting on Monday, Aug. 7.

But because of privacy restrictions, the city does not yet know which aspects of the investigation will be made public.

“Once those reports are delivered to the appropriate persons, an analysis will be made about how and what information can be given to the public and what cannot be,” Devaney said.

“Since this is basically a personnel decision … there won’t probably be a lot that can be determined. But there will be a lot that otherwise can be provided about the process, etcetera.

We are making that determination and giving the recommendations in order to protect the city and all those involved.”

As of Tuesday night, Aug. 8. Vergne’s attorney — Del Mar resident Dan Crabtree — said he had heard no indication of the city’s findings and was troubled to see that the investigation into Vergne took more than four months while the one against Huth took three weeks.

“That’s pretty bizarre, when you think about it,” he said. “And the amount of money Del Mar has spent on this, especially on the first investigation, is absolutely beyond belief.”

Huth announced in July that attorney fees for the first investigation totaled

around $30,000.

“I’ve got to believe that it’s significantly more than that when you add in the fact that there are two employees who were getting paid all this time — 18 or 19 weeks, and they’re still getting paid — and the city had to hire replacements to handle some of their workload,” Crabtree said. “When you add all of the stuff in, I’m sure this has cost the city way over $120,000.”

Crabtree said he didn’t know if he’ll be shown the city’s findings or if Vergne will be allowed to return to work.

“They’ve kept everything such a secret up to this point. The city has played hide-the-ball since day one in everything, so nothing would surprise me,” he said.

“Pat’s fondest desire is to go back to work.

That’s the No. 1 thing on his mind; he wants to go back to work and put all of this behind him,” he said. “He loves Del Mar and the people of Del Mar. He just wants to get back to work and do the job that he’s extremely good at.”

Throughout the summer, supporters of Vergne — who has worked for the city for about 40 years —pleaded for his return and worried whether Vergne’s absence posed a threat to safety on the beach.

In one harrowing case described to the council in detail on Monday night, a woman had to be rescued from the water by other beachgoers on July 19 after they were unable to find lifeguards to help with the struggling swimmer. The city has launched an investigation into the incident.

Robin Crabtree, a vocal Vergne supporter and wife of the attorney representing him, pointed to the incident as evidence that the lifeguard department needs its leader back.

“Pretty scary stuff,” she told the council. “I hope to get Pat back in the tower, real quickly. I think that whole team needs some team building and support, because they’ve lacked that help.”

Fifth annual Summer Run Club 5K held in Pacific Highlands Ranch

BY KAREN BILLING armel Valley resident Sheri Kono held her fifth annual Summer Run Club 5K on Aug. 6 at the Solana Ranch Park. As she has for the last five summers, Kono brings local kids and parents together for seven-and-a-half weeks of running together at the park, all leading up to the celebratory and fun 5K race.

“This year's program and 5K are my favorites of all my years doing them by far,” Kono said.

“Everyone is so motivated, it’s been really inspiring. It can be a lot of work, but it's totally worth it – kind of like exercising!”

Sean Kono,12, won the race in a personal best time of 22:54. The first female finisher was Jess Freeland, 10, who ran the 3.1-mile course in 25:40.

The youngest runner in the race was 4-year-old Alejandro Colon, who ran with a giant smile and finished with a blazing fast sprint.

This year, run club sponsor Fleet Feet provided a clock so runners could see just how far they have come over a summer’s worth of training.

Each runner received a medal and a coupon for a free pizza from sponsor Fresh Brothers.

Kono, who is always wearing her cheerful

C

Mia, Ken and David Song smile and her trademark visor with a big flower attached, first started a lunchtime running club at Solana Highlands Elementary School in 2011, followed by her first Summer Run Club in 2013.

The club moved from Solana Highlands Park to the new Solana Ranch Park.

With the club, Kono has her runners tally their mileage and fill out running journals to track their progress and how they feel about each running day. A certified personal trainer who also leads boot camp classes, Kono works with the runners on speed and strength drills, as well.

“One of my main goals for the program is to inspire our participants to recognize the importance of exercise and hopefully the fun it can be too,” Kono said. “I feel like this year's program has been really successful in both regards.”

FROM SUTTON, A14 any of the district’s other schools when clearly there was?

Should the district have provided free office space and resources at Earl Warren Middle School to former San Dieguito Faculty Association president Bob Croft, to carry out his union duties?

Croft, who retired June 30, was paid a full salary – $125,797 – but hasn’t taught in a classroom since 2010. A substitute teacher was hired each year since 2010, at considerable expense, to teach Croft’s physical education classes.

Culture of secrecy Too often San Dieguito operates as an independent, insular government agency with little regard for open communication with its shareholders (parents and taxpayers). This pervasive culture of secrecy percolates from the top down.

The lack of responsiveness by Dill to repeated requests for clarification and information continues to disturb board members, the press and community members.

The district’s secretive practice of putting little or nothing in emails on controversial subjects is a sneaky way to avoid revelations that might come to light through a Public Records Request.

Claiming attorney-client privilege as reason to deny the release of information is an overused excuse that in many cases has no merit.

Too much information is labeled confidential and withheld from the public.

Whether it’s intended or not, many parents feel disrespected and ignored. This disregard for constituents is indicative of a climate in need of radical overhaul.

The days when staff could make decisions

UP TO

65% off

unilaterally, backed by a board that rubber-stamped all recommendations, are clearly over. Parents are more involved and are advocating more strongly for their children and their children’s best interests. As they should.

Breaking open that closed door policy is an important step. What the community needs to see is availability, access and openness.

ATP concerns The problems associated with the Adult Transition Program were avoidable, had the district been more transparent and listened and responded to concerns raised months, if not years, ago. Those concerns were not just about facilities but also about the lack of decent, updated curriculum for special education students.

This ties into the general complaint that not enough attention was being given to this cohort of students.

The situation has been temporarily resolved (at least for the 2017-2018 school year) after the explosive parent forum held July 28 when ATP parents let loose on the beleaguered superintendent for what they perceived as discriminatory treatment of their children.

The ATP parents’ desire to move forward in a spirit of cooperation, after all they’ve been through, is laudable. But to avoid a future repeat of this kind of uprising, the district needs to acknowledge its shortcomings and resolve to put into place policies and a culture that respects parents, treats everyone with dignity, responds to inquiries with timeliness and honesty, and upholds principles of full transparency.

Perhaps this unfortunate episode can be a moment of awakening for the district.

BACK TO SCHOOL SALE ORGANIC MEETS COMFORT

FROM AUTHOR, A5 textual detail, it lacked for budgetary reasons in visual impact.

Yet another decade later, in present day, the publishing industry has found a way to illustration and photography for a fraction of the financial burden – and thus, ASM asks Sherman to conjure a second edition, this time trimmed beneath 500 pages and loaded with images ranging from classic works of art to movie posters from Hollywood’s golden age.

But disease hadn’t paused its incessant march in the intervening decade — so the new edition not only strews images throughout its pages, but also reflects a world that has since seen the likes of SARS and Zika and even old plagues such as tuberculosis make a mutated return. Released in June, the second edition adds, for example, the Ebola outbreak of 2014, measles at Disneyland a year later, not to mention the ominous development that so many of these pathogens have developed resistance to treatment.

Taking a soberly scientific approach to the

most dreadful scenarios imaginable, each of the 16 chapters covers one of mankind’s great afflictions in all its gruesome detail, and the ways in which those micro-pathogens have steered the course of human civilization, be it through war, religion, medicine or by giving shape to science itself.

“This was the book I wanted to write,” he said.

Beach reading it isn’t, but it’s a lesson he believes bears repeating, no matter the era.

“Infectious diseases are an essential part of the world’s economy, social structure and so on, which really goes unappreciated to a large degree,” he said. “We tend to believe that really we’re disease-free, that it’s somebody else’s problem, or that we have a vaccine from almost everything, or if that fails, we have a drug. That’s a kind of illusion to a degree.”

Irwin Sherman is giving a presentation on Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. - noon, titled “Drugs that Changed the World” for the Osher Continuing Education program at the UCSD Extension complex, 9600 North Torrey Pines Rd., Building D, Room 129, La Jolla.

FROM DOGS, A1 everyone except for cats.

“People have been walking their dogs for decades and even generations,” said Scott MacDonald, who started the petition. “I would argue that taking dogs to the beach is almost part of Del Mar’s culture.”

The city council was unanimous in directing staff to draft amendments to the city code per the petition’s request. But the council also made clear that the city’s answer must consider a broader framework of restriction and enforcement.

Councilman Dave Druker — who runs on the beach every day, has a son who breeds dogs, and who served on the council when the city changed its dog rules in the late 1990s — pointed out that while this summer hit a flashpoint, it is not an isolated or unheard-of circumstance.

“This has been a huge complaint, dogs off the leash on the beach. I’ve heard this a whole lot,” he said. “This is not something

that is just one single person saying there’s a problem here. It is our job as council to ensure that there is beach access for everyone and not to treat any special class of people as having more ability to access the beach than anyone else. Everybody’s got to be taken care of.”

He suggested the possibility of adding sand to 25th, 27th and 29th streets so that the beach there can be kept open for dogs during high tides. He also called on city staff to look into dog rules and enforcement at Seagrove Park and Powerhouse Park.

It’s a situation that’s long been in need of rectifying, said Mayor Terry Sinnott.

“Right now at Dog Beach, everybody’s supposed to be on a leash,” he said.

“They’re not on a leash; nobody’s on a leash. So we have an enforcement problem.”

With the focus falling on the minority of irresponsible dog owners, he called on responsible owners to help their cause by

Rancho Coastal Humane Society earns four-star rating again Four stars, the highest possible rating, has once again been awarded to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas by Charity Navigator, America’s Largest Charity Evaluator.

Out of 100 possible points RCHS earned a score and rating of 99.93.

In a letter to RCHS President Jim Silveira, Charity Navigator President and CEO Michael A. Thatcher said, “Rancho Coastal Humane Society has earned our fourth consecutive 4-star rating.

This is our highest possible rating and indicates that your organization adheres to sector best practices and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.”

“Attaining a 4-star rating verifies that Rancho Coastal Humane Society exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in your area of work," Thatcher said. "Only 12 percent of the charities we evaluate have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Rancho Coastal Humane Society outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Rancho Coastal Humane Society apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.”

Silveira said, “Charity Navigator identifies eight animal welfare organizations with perfect scores of 100. Just three of them are working animal shelters. Rancho Coastal Humane Society is the fourth highest Charity Navigator rated animal shelter in the United States and the highest rated animal shelter in California.”

Charity Navigator urges donors to research before giving by making sure the organization is a bona fide, tax exempt 501 (c)(3) public charity; examining the charity's finances; and ensuring the charity is accountable and transparent.

They also recommend that you follow up on the charity in six months to a year to find out how it is using your money. If you’re pleased, investigate a longer term financial commitment.

If not, start over again researching other organizations.

Levitt said the walls went up because they were concerned about the noise. Levitt said that sometimes a wall creates better neighbor relations but not in this case.

“It’s not worth fighting with the neighbors,” Levitt said.

Levitt said the walls will be knocked down to

policing themselves better. Leaders of the petition launched www.delmardogs.com to do just that, as a way to encourage compliance and communicate problems among themselves and with the city.

Sinnott also stressed the need to not move forward on new rules without a clear sense of how to enforce them.

“The thing I worry about is when you put regulations in place, I mean give me a break, regulations don’t mean anything unless there’s a practical way to observe, understand and enforce the issue,” he said.

“I think we’re kind of ragged in that area.”

For Anthony Viscardi, husband of the woman who was attacked, the proposed measures won’t resolve the problems posed by the few bad owners. Expanding the range for dogs will only make the beach less safe and increase the city’s liability, he said.

“You can draw the line wherever you want; people will ignore it,” he said. “They will not follow the rules.”

“It’s deeply rewarding to see the look of excitement on their faces learning and practicing something new,” Hosseini said.

“Most adults don’t have a great understanding of what an anesthesiologist does, and having a kid tell me afterwards he thinks being an anesthesiologist would be ‘cool’ is uniquely satisfying.”

To stay in soccer shape on his own, Hosseini plays two to three times a week on an organized county league team and as part of a large pick-up group. About two months before the tournament he also does a combination of skill building drills with the ball and sprint training.

“It’s brutal and it’s five or six days a week. But without running sprint drills, you’re never going to be in ‘game shape,’” Hosseini said.

With his demanding schedule, the training isn’t easy to pull off — often he is up at 5 a.m. to get some running in before his day starts if he thinks he won’t be out of the hospital before the sun sets.

Puckett has performed on more than 30 network television shows and prime time specials during his career. He continues to tour internationally and recently released a new album, "GARY PUCKETT – LIVE.” Puckett credits the lasting power of his hits, some exactly a half-century old, to the fact that they were a special culmination of quality songwriting, lyrics, melody and production. “I think it’s also because we were totally analog in those days,” Puckett muses about their lasting power. “The music had a warmer sound, instead of now recording digital.

The more touches I get on the ball, the better.”

At this year’s tournament, the U.S. was in a group with Uzbekistan, Austria and Brazil. The U.S. was sent to the losers’ bracket after the first three games and faced South Korea, Australia and Ireland, losing just to Australia.

The camaraderie and the friends gained through playing on the US Medical Soccer Team is “incredible” — Hosseini said his teammates feel like family and he has made friends with several doctors from other countries’ teams. He stayed with one of the Austrian doctors in Salzburg before the tournament and in September he will be doing a medical mission in Colombia and make time to see a new doctor friend in Medellin.

For Hosseini, it is an unbelievable honor to be able to represent his country.

“Every time I line up before a game at these tournaments wearing the red, white, and blue, watching our flag fly while they play the National Anthem, I still get goosebumps,” Hosseini said.

People are starting to remember that now, with records becoming popular again.”

Now, Puckett is ready to strut his stuff in San Diego once again, all these years after that chance discovery in a noisy bowling alley, and raise much-needed funds for children in need. “The night is really about giving children back their vision in some way, and that’s what Vision of Children is all about,” Puckett says. “That to me is what’s impressive.”

for 5G (fifth generation wireless systems), Atkins supported the bill to help keep up with those demands. “(Senator Atkins) does understand it’s a visual blight but moving forward with broader bandwidth and reduced cell-usage costs is definitely beneficial,” Newell-Tate said.

The final approval of the legislation could come in September — it passed the Senate and Assembly and is currently in the Assembly’s Committee on Appropriations. The city of San Diego has yet to take a position but local cities that oppose the bill include Encinitas, Vista and Chula Vista.

Under existing law, a wireless telecommunications co-location facility is subject to city or country discretionary permit and is required to comply with specified criteria. The bill would provide that a “small cell” is a permitted use, subject only to a specified permitting process adopted by a city or county.

The bill defines small cell as antennas on the structure no more than 6 cubic feet in volume, equipment on the pole that does not exceed 9 cubic feet and the cumulative total of associated equipment that does not exceed 21 cubic feet. The total of any ground-mounted equipment cannot exceed 35 cubic feet, or –as some board members provided as a reference — the size of a refrigerator.

The planning board often reviews

cell phone antennas, lobbying for better landscaping to camouflage units or all-out opposing the placements.

In 2014, the community and the planning board stopped cell phone antennas from being placed on the Carmel Valley Library — the antennas were able to find a home on the roof of the shopping center across the street.

Steven Hadley, representing City Councilmember Barbara Bry, said recently his office was able to relocate a proposed equipment box that would’ve been placed in front of a community’s monument sign. He said often times there is some leeway, a range of 50 yards where utilities can be successfully relocated –“the community appreciates that input and it’s important,” Hadley said.

“As a board and as a city we are very even-handed with regard to cell towers and wanting them to be attractive and in the right locations and this takes all considerations out of our hands and out of the city’s hand,” board member Laura Copic said.

Newell-Tate said that she does not believe the bill takes away local control over the placement of wires or boxes.

“I think there is flexibility. The streamlining process just means that if these boxes meet certain criteria then the process of approving them has less hoops to jump through or takes less time,” Newell-Tate said.

Rob Knudson, from the office of Assemblyman Brian Maienschein, said that the bill also works to streamline the cost process.

The bill would authorize the city or county to charge three fees: an annual charge for each cell attached to infrastructure, an annual attachment rate or annual rate.

Per the bill language, an annual charge is not to exceed $250 for each small cell attached to local infrastructure. Currently, many cities receive as much as $3,000 per year in lease payments for antenna sites.

While Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White said that their comments should be related to the planning side and not the financial side of the issue, board member Barry Schultz said it was hard to separate the two.

“They’re using the public right of way and they should pay for it. This is in my estimation an attempt by the industry to continue to take advantage of their monopoly power,” Schultz said. “They restricted the type of issues we can address from a design standpoint and now here they want to take away the financial aspect as well.”

Schultz stated his belief that the financial savings of the bill will not be coming to the consumer’s pocket.

In a follow-up after the meeting, Knudson said he sent the board’s comments to Maienschein’s Sacramento office and amendments are currently circulating that address many of the board’s concerns.

FROM EDUCATION, A1 happy to see this being formed,” said SDUHSD President Amy Herman.

The formation of the task force came a day after the district announced a short-term solution to the parents’ issues with the ATP facilities, two portables to house special education students ages 18-22 on the Earl Warren Middle School Campus. For the coming school year, the ATP program will be moved to three classrooms at La Costa Canyon High School.

The district will continue to pursue long-term solutions, such as building permanent facilities at Sunset High School or moving to the program to MiraCosta Community College where students can interact with like-age peers.

The task force will include representation from special education parents and educators, as well as a rotating school board member. According to Dill, the purpose of the task force will be to engage in a long-term strategic planning process for special education services. The group will come together through a series of formally agendized and publicly-noticed meetings to work through a series of topics over the course of the school year. The task force would come up with recommendations for the board to consider for 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.”

Parent Lucile Lynch thanked the district for holding the July 28 tour and meeting, acknowledging that it was at times very emotional but the response from the district was intelligent and positive.

“It’s very exciting to have the task force,” Lynch said. “I think it’s really an opportunity to make this program one of the best, just like our other programs in the district.

I want to thank everybody for considering this, listening to us and moving forward.”

The board will be holding a special education workshop before its next meeting on Aug. 17.

‘We are all in this together’ Local’s Word Rocks project spreads a ripple of love, kindness

BY KAREN BILLING or the last six years, Encinitas resident Carol Arêas has been sprinkling happiness and magic one rock at a time through her Word Rocks project. Arêas lovingly paints inspiring words and phrases on rocks and scatters them throughout San Diego and beyond with the hope that someone will find one and it will make them smile. She also hopes that person will help pay those positive vibes forward.

“We all have the power to make a difference in someone’s life. We all have the power to change the world and we can do that by being kind,” Arêas said.

Arêas led a crafting with purpose workshop at Mint Studio at the Village of Pacific Highlands Ranch on Aug. 4, teaching children the art and joy of rock painting and inspiring kids to be “action takers, magic makers and world shakers” “No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted,” Arêas told the kids.

The Word Rocks movement began when Areas was hopelessly homesick after moving to Carmel Valley from her native Brazil in 2011.

When she felt sad about missing her family and friends, she would take to walking the beach because it made her feel closer to them.

On one such walk along Torrey Pines State Beach, she picked up some rocks, smoothed by the ocean, to bring home to help cheer her up.

She painted inspirational words on the rocks and kept them for herself. Soon her collection of painted rocks had grown so large that her then-10-year-old son Antonio suggested

Antonio came up with the name Word Rocks and together they spread the love and started a website to track the rocks’ progress. It has now evolved to an Instagram page with nearly 18,000 followers.

With the help of others who have been inspired by her message and by her own travels, Word Rocks have landed all over from the rim of the Grand Canyon to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. A rock painted with

“giola,” the Italian word for joy, was photographed in Italy and an orphanage in Malaysia picked up the project as a way for the children there to use donated art supplies, warming Areas’ heart.

“It’s very special to me, especially as an immigrant who had to start a new life,” Arêas said. “It helps me feel connected to the world.”

The rocks are just one way that Areas uses to spread love and kindness — she also makes “magic sticks” that she places inside bookstore and library books, and leaves love notes, posters and banners wherever she goes that send messages like “You matter,” “you are not alone” and “We are all in this together.”

It is Arêas’ goal to send that ripple of kindness out to every broken or lonely heart, lost soul or just someone who needs a little pick-me-up.

“The perfect note left at the perfect time can really impact someone’s life,” she said, recalling a story of someone who found a rock in Starbucks who wrote Arêas that she had been having a horrible day and was feeling down. After finding the rock, she made it a point to spend the rest of the day focusing on the good.

“You don’t have to paint a rock. Leave a love note, smile to people, hold the door open for someone. When you do something kind, the person will be happy and you will be happy too,” Arêas said. “There is something really beautiful about being there for other people.

Who are you being now to make the world a better place?”

Disabled vets and jockey to receive Segway at DM Racetrack For the first time, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will host an awards ceremony, and a severely injured U.S. military veteran will receive a Segway, while another will receive a specially adapted seated Segway, called an ALLY Chair. The event will be on Saturday, Aug. 12, before the featured race of the day. Also for the first time, a disabled jockey will be awarded an ALLY Chair.

Since 2005, Segs4Vets, a St. Louis, Missouri-based nonprofit managed and staffed by volunteers, has awarded more than 1,600 Segways to men and women of the United States military who sustained amputated limbs during their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Every dollar donated to Segs4Vets goes into getting a disabled veteran into a Segway or ALLY Chair.

Segs4Vets is a program of Disability Rights Advocates For Technology (DRAFT). The focus of DRAFT is to develop universally designed technology.

A Segway is a universally-designed mobility device which does not draw attention to one’s physical limitations. The ALLY Chair is an adapted seated Segway that provides mobility for those with multiple amputations or for someone who cannot make productive use of the Segway standing. An awarded Segway costs in excess of $10,000 and an ALLY Chair award costs in excess of $15,000, but is priceless to recipients. Visit Segs4Vets.org – Submitted press release

With ArtWalk, Jeremy Sicile-Kira finds his way as an artist

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES he brush strokes hold to the canvas broad and thick, dense with texture, vibrant in greens and blues and oranges, crystalizing the life that hides away in Jeremy Sicile-Kira’s mind — buried deep, formed in dreams and brought into being by sole virtue of those weighty, resolute strokes.

Jeremy’s art is of emotion translated into a palette of pure color, each portrait unique to the people inspiring it. While his words come haltingly, the world he describes — whether in word or in portrait — is of art in maybe its purest form, untainted by the burdens of a more conventional mind.

“I see people as bright colors.

I see some greatly dark colors, but I chose only to paint good colors to remind kindly the client to behave as a really great person,” he said last week in his Del Mar apartment, spelling out responses by pointing to a cardboard alphabet held in turns by his mother or by one

his own art show, never mind the fact that he had never before put paint to canvas.

Long passed is the spate of news reports heralding the miraculous autistic painter who made that dream come true.

His energies now are focused on the labor of craft and building his clientele, on the day-to-day endeavor of seeing his work stand on its own merits, on the excitement for this weekend’s ArtWalk festival in Liberty Station, where he’ll take his hard-earned place in one of San Diego’s largest art shows. Jeremy, now 28, is too busy forging a livelihood to bother with novelty.

“People don’t say ‘Van Gogh, the artist with schizophrenia,’” said his mother Chantal Sicile-Kira, who has been an authority on autism since before her son was born.

“Jeremy isn’t an artist with autism. He’s an artist.”

Joe’s Paving takes a unique approach

La Jolla Cultural Partners

At Joe’s Paving, CEO Sean Repko says there’s “no guesswork.”

With thorough proposals that are Microsoft Excel-driven, the Valley Center paving business stands out among its competitors.

“It’s almost like a menu,” Repko said. “You know exactly what you’re getting.”

Customers also don’t pay until the work is complete, which helps build trust, Repko said.

Repko took over the business in November 2001 after deciding to make a switch from his career in technology, in which he owned his own business.

He saw the then-30-year-old company was for sale and worked for the former owner for no pay for 60 days to see if he was up to the challenge of taking it over since he had no prior experience in contracting.

Now having owned Joe’s Paving for nearly 17 years, he has grown the business 400 percent, he said.

Joe’s Paving specializes in asphalt paving construction for both

residential and commercial clients.

Its team takes “a comprehensive approach to service, catering to new home tract developments, private roads, shopping centers, industrial parks, mobile home parks, homeowners’ associations, and much more,” according to its

website.

What makes Joe’s Paving unique is Repko’s background and the professionalism of his 60 employees, Repko said.

“There are a lot of companies that do what we do,” he said. “You have to have a license, the equipment and you have to be professional with a good track record. We have all that. What differentiates us, in many cases, is you don’t need a college degree to do what we do, but I have a background in economics and finance. My guys are professional and look good with tucked in shirts. I think first impressions are really important.”

Local woman documents cancer journey in fictional book

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Encinitas resident Sylvia Peddycord set out to write a fictional book, she didn’t imagine her personal life would be written out on the pages. However, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer during the writing process that all changed.

In the early 2000s, Peddycord began writing “Shouting for Grace,” which was released in March. Originally, the story was supposed to focus on a mother named Ellie with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but when Peddycord was diagnosed with breast cancer, so was Ellie.

“My cancer just became entwined in the book and the characters,” Peddycord said. “One thing led to another, and the cancer just found its way into my writing.”

In “Shouting for Grace,” Ellie moves to San Diego to overcome her OCD but decides to goes back home to North Carolina to care for her estranged teenage daughter, Grace.

During that time, her world is further complicated with a cancer diagnosis.

Peddycord — who is originally from North Carolina before moving to San Diego, like Ellie — described the writing process as “empowering.” While Ellie’s story wasn’t entirely hers, she could vent and share her own experience through someone else.

She said the book took her years to write because of her diagnosis and births of her five children.

By the time she was done writing the 306-page book, she said she had trouble publishing it because publishers told her a story about cancer “probably wouldn’t sell.”

Eventually, she teamed up with San Diego-based Balboa Press to release the book in March via online distributors, such as Amazon. Her next goal is to get it in bookstores, she said.

Peddycord, who formerly worked in finance before becoming a full-time author, plans to donate 10 percent of royalties received from sales through Dec. 31, 2019 to the Breast Cancer Research Fund to help with the fight against

Sylvia Peddycord

breast cancer.

“There are so many incredible things happening now, and I kind of want to help bring it to the forefront with the book,” she said.

Peddycord, who has been cancer-free for 15 years, said because cancer affects so many people — including those who are diagnosed and those who know them — anyone can read this book and find it to be comforting.

“People are telling me it demystifies cancer to talk about the process,” she said, adding she is currently working on her second book. “So many people have said they know people who have gone through cancer and they were afraid to ask about it. It’s been very rewarding from that standpoint, and this seems like the right thing to do.”

One Love Movement to raise money for charity through yoga

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY More than 600 yogis will gather at the Embarcadero Waterfront Park on Aug. 19 to do yoga and raise money for a good cause.

The annual One Love Movement event will feature yoga, live music, vendors, food and libations to raise money to support underserved youth locally in San Diego and abroad at the One Love Shelter in India.

Chelsea Koehnen, an Encinitas resident who has participated in the event since its inception in 2011, will serve as one of five instructors this year.

The mother of three young daughters said she enjoys the charitable efforts of the One Love Movement and hopes to inspire her children with her participation.

"My kids have a pretty privileged life," she said. "I don't think they've ever really seen kids really want anything, and so I think it's really powerful for [founder] Kim [Bauman] to be helping and supporting kids in our area that need support. It's very important for me to have my kids be involved in helping as well and seeing there are other people out there who aren't as fortunate."

Koehnen's 6-year-old daughter, Ella, is president of the kids chapter of the One Love Movement and will be attending the event, along with her 9-year-old and 6-year-old sisters.

Instructors will walk around the event to assist participants with hands-on training, Koehnen said, making the event appropriate for yogis of all ages and abilities.

Last year, the event had about 600 participants. Koehnen said this year the group is aiming for 700.

"There is absolutely something so powerful about sharing the energy and this connection with 600 people," she said. "It's just something you cannot replicate in a regular studio class. When you're outside and in nature, and you have really fantastic live music, the energy is just something that is really empowering. You really feel that essence of connection in mind and body beyond just the physical postures."

For tickets and more information about the Aug. 19 event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and to donate online, visit serveyourheart.org.

Canadian singer-songwriter inspired by Del Mar childhood

BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a mid-summer Wednesday evening in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and Alex Balanko is currently sitting in his studio, which doubles as the headquarters for Four Destinations Entertainment, a Canadian company he began with friend and business partner Liam Sturgess.

“We teach lessons and offer studio recording for solo musicians, bands, voiceover actors, and anyone else looking to record any project,” Balanko says. “This studio’s an incredible resource for us. If I have the urge to get an idea out at midnight, I can hop in the car and head over.”

As of late, Balanko has had a lot of those urges. The budding folk-pop singer-songwriter recently released his debut album. Titled “Stories,” it’s a three-year, 12-track project that’s the culmination of a musical dream. “The title ‘Stories’ comes from the idea that these songs really aren’t related to each other at all,” Balanko said. “They cross over a few different styles and genres, and take the album through a variety of moods and topics.”

One of the dominant inspirations of “Stories” is a brief but impactful time Balanko lived in Del Mar. Born in British Columbia, Balanko moved to Del Mar when he was 6 years old. It’s his childhood experiences during that time which shaped “Stories’” debut single, “Home.”

“This song was a chance for me to look back at my childhood in a way I hadn’t before,” Balanko said. “The second verse (of that song) talks about school, saying ‘I never really liked the playground / I guess I wasn’t ever cool.’

When I first moved to San Diego, it took me a couple of months to get into a new routine, make friends, and settle in. That’s the time that line is referring to. The song refers to specific moments across my childhood where things weren’t always 100 percent.”

Despite only spending three years in Del Mar (Balanko moved back to Canada with his mother after his parents divorced), Balanko holds Del Mar and his experience at Del Mar Heights Elementary School close to his heart.

“Stories” by Alex Balanko

“Del Mar has always felt as much like home to me as Vancouver,” he explained, remembering Del Mar was where he learned how to ride a bike, had his first crush, and bonded with his father.

However, the most important quality his father passed on to him was his taste in music.

“I grew up listening to my dad’s music, which spans from the Rolling Stones to Bob Marley to Jack Johnson, and almost everything in between,” Balanko said, drawing inspiration from that group to shape his sound, which to this day is reminiscent of a combination of all three singular artists. “A lot of my dad’s music was about a good sound and strong songwriting, so those are things I was attracted to

Now with his first album under his belt, Balanko is looking forward to mining his life for inspiration for the next one.

“Between wrapping up production on ‘Stories’ this year and planning the release, I took a bit of a break from writing,” he said, getting ready to go back to work in his Vancouver studio. “It feels really good to put the pen to paper again. I forgot how important it is for me to keep writing; it’s how I sort my thoughts and emotions, and it always helps everything make sense.”

‘Be the Light’ gala to benefit Shelter to Soldier

KELLEY CARLSON

Cambodia (second from left) won the Grade II, $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Handicap Aug. 6 at Del Mar.

Cambodia tops in Grade II, $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Handicap

BY KELLEY CARLSON In the Grade II, $200,000 Yellow Ribbon Handicap on Saturday, Aug. 6 at Del Mar, East Coast invader Cambodia (second from left) stalked the pace setters throughout most of the race and took over in the stretch to win by three-quarters of a length.

Pretty Girl closed strongly to finish second, with Amboseli another three-quarters of a length back in

third.

Piloted by Drayden Van Dyke, Cambodia covered the 1 1/16 miles on the turf in 1:40.86.

“The key for her is to get her to relax,” Van Dyke said. “Today she did it beautifully.”

The 5-year-old bay mare is owned

by Winter Quarter Farm and trained

by Tom Proctor.

In the day’s co-feature, the Grade

II, $200,000 Sorrento Stakes, Spectator romped to a 5 1/4-length win over six other 2-year-old fillies.

During the last week, other major winners were Sharp Samurai (Grade III, $150,000 La Jolla Handicap), Continental Divide ($100,000 Graduation Stakes), Show It N Moe It ($100,000, C.T.B.A. Stakes) and Long Hot Summer ($93,800 Daisycutter Handicap).

Expert to speak at UC San Diego Economic Roundtable Aug. 23 Sandra Krieger, former executive vice president and chief risk officer, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will discuss Facing Financial Meltdown: Reflections of a Central Bank Risk Officer at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 23 at the UC San Diego Faculty Club. The $50 per person cost to attend the UC San Diego Economics Roundtable includes refreshments and parking. Significant discounts are available for UC San Diego faculty, staff,

students, and alumni.

Krieger spent 33 years at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before retiring in 2015. Between 2008 and 2015, she was a member of the bank's Management Committee and chaired the Bank's Risk Committee. At the height of the financial crisis, she built a Risk Group for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to confront the critical risks the bank incurred through its crisis-related

transactions. She also had oversight for a period of time of the multi-billion dollars of the bank's special lending facilities, and was the bank's executive sponsor to the U.S. industry task force on triparty repo infrastructure. She received her Ph.D. in economics from UCSD. For additional information and registration, visit bit.ly/2fqvalv or email econroundtable@ucsd.edu, or call 858-534-9710.

NATURAL TREATMENT FOR ADHD, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

The 5th annual benefit Be the Light: Shelter to Soldier Charity Gala will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 5-9 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine.

Event festivities include entertainment by contemporary singer songwriter Kinnie Dye, silent and live auctions with auctioneer Clint Bell, and memorable moments with service dogs and their veteran handlers. A significant addition to the live auction lineup is a Fender electric guitar autographed by the legendary musician Jimmy Buffett. Single tickets are $125 per person, VIP single tickets are $200 per person and tables of 10 begin at $1,125. All tickets include valet parking, hosted beer provided by Lost Coast Brewery or wine, tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and plated dinner with dessert. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and silent or live auction item donations are welcomed. Visit sheltertosoldier. org/events to participate.

All proceeds raised will benefit Shelter to Soldier, a San Diego-based nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from local shelters and rescue organizations and trains them to be psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other injuries

associated with traumatic service experiences. Visit sheltertosoldier.org.

According to Shelter to Soldier Co-Founder and Operations Director Kyrié Bloem, “Shelter to Soldier is honored to be in our fifth year of service to U.S. veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect our freedom and to shelter dogs eager to live a life of purpose. We’re fortunate to have a vast community of supporters, including the Wood family (Jim, Amy, Danielle and Anthony) behind our mission that helps advance our cause, and we look forward to serving more veterans and dogs in need with the support of everyone who attends the gala celebration. We’re particularly grateful to Griffin Funding who will be sponsoring their 4th rescue dog with their Platinum Gala Sponsorship.”

‘Striking A Chord’ benefit concert Part 2: Performers

T

he “Striking A Chord” benefit concert, which was held July 29 at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, raised more than $31,000 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.

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. If you want to know more about laser therapy or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

FROM ARTIST, B3 him after converting her home office in Carmel Valley into a studio.

Elizabeth Wepsic, chair of the visual arts department at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, worked with him at length to develop a style that makes the most out of his physical limitations.

He’s now worked for some 120 clients, painting portraits of everyone from his caretakers to his aide dog Handsome to his depiction of Gov. Jerry Brown that hangs in a Sacramento museum. And he now rents out his own studio at Space4Art in San Diego’s East Village, where he summons inspiration six days a week, tirelessly giving life to the visions he holds inside.

That devotion will come to bear in a way it never has before this weekend at his booth at ArtWalk, an opportunity made possible by the grant he won this summer from the California Arts Council and the National Arts and Disability Center at UCLA. His gratitude is such that 5 percent of his sales will go to ArtReach, ArtWalk’s nonprofit partner, which has given free art classes to more than 20,000 students

across the county.

Befitting so big an occasion, Jeremy will debut a series of paintings inspired by some of his favorite San Diego places — Safari Park, Swami’s Garden, Little Italy, and, of course, a painting that evokes the many mornings he’s spent on the beach in Del Mar, setting up cones with the lifeguards and going on long walks.

“Truly I just feel the energy of the waves and ocean, mighty in its power,” he said.

That’s what makes this coming weekend so vital: the chance to cement his legitimacy as an artist in front of the 2,000-plus art lovers expected to fill Liberty Station across the two days.

“Truly I like to see their facial expressions, I like to hear their voices,” he said.

“And frankly I see their colors.”

ArtWalk is open to the public free of charge, on Saturday, Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Art District at Liberty Station, 2751 Dewey Road in Point Loma.

Beverage Embellishments, I’ll Drink to That!

“Happiness is … finding two olives in your martini when you’re hungry.” — Johnny Carson

oth cocktails and mocktails will taste even more intoxicating when creatively accessorized. Whether garnished with a fresh herb, a citrus peel, a fruit wedge, or a kitschy trinket the artistry will create a tropical aura transporting you to a vacation paradise.

I received a call from an old friend wanting to share some exciting news about her upcoming trip to Maui with her daughter, who had won first prize in a cocktail garnishing contest. She carved a jaw-dropping Amazon Parrot from the husk of a fresh pineapple and perched it on the rim of a Bird of Paradise cocktail.

So here’s a Drink Décor 101 primer for aspiring mixologists. Aloha and cheers!

On the Edge: To make any drink pop with a panache of color, texture and flavor, coat the glass rim with a rainbow of superfine sugar, Technicolor salts, dark cocoa powder, crushed honey graham crackers or biscotti. Simply spread the granular garnish on a flat plate, and moisten the rim with an orange or lemon wedge. Either invert the

glass onto the plate or turn it on its side and rotate until the entire rim is trimmed.

Grilled Garnishes: Especially during barbecue season, savory and spicy drinks can be topped off with a trendy grilled treat like a shrimp or vegetable skewer placed crosswise over the opening of the glass, a buffalo wing or crispy candied bacon slice dangling over the edge, or a chunky twist of a bratwurst or sausage hugging the rim.

The Spice of Life: Sprinkle some potent spices on top for an oomph of flavor and color like golden turmeric, musky cumin and mustard seeds, smoky paprika, fragrant nutmeg or cinnamon, or zippy fresh grated ginger.

Fresh herbs add an aromatic tang and splash of eye candy to assorted drinks. Mint not only awakens the senses, but also aids digestion and perks up memory. Toss some bright green leaves into a tall chilled glass of lemonade or iced tea, whip up a mint julep, or a raspberry mint spritzer. The distinct piney fragrance of rosemary and its sturdy construction make it a natural for a stirring stick or harpoon for berries or olives, while delicate sprigs of thyme infuse a minty

lemon essence to herbal teas, sparkling waters, agua frescas or vodka cocktails.

Beautiful green-leafed basil as fragrant as it is brilliantly-hued enlivens rhubarb bellinis or margaritas, strawberry slushes, acacia honey limeades, or even a simple pitcher of ice water.

Your Best Buds: Culinary flowers — especially vibrantly colored nasturtiums, sunny calendulas, fragrant fennel bulbs, pink, red or white baby roses, delicate pansies, mauve lavender petals, lilacs and hibiscus flowers — will transform any drink into a tropical treat. But steer clear of daffodils, lilies of the valley, azaleas, and oleanders that are unsafe to eat.

A New Twist: Some classics including wedges and spiral zests from lemons, limes and oranges add pops of pigment and zesty citrus oil to assorted drinks. For some fun and modern garnishes float pomegranate seeds on top, or hang chunks or slices of exotic fruit from the lip of the glass like perfume-pulped cherimoya, Buddha’s hand, pitaya (dragon fruit), or assorted hot and sweet peppers.

Stalk-in-Trade: Green olives, pearl onions and crispy celery stalks with leaves intact have been a bartender’s staple garnish for cocktails like the Bloody Mary, Martini and Gibson. For a change-up, try heirloom carrot sticks in shades of yellow and purple, jicama strips, Persian cucumber spears, or rainbow radish flowers.

Cherry on Top: The super sweet, glow-in-the-dark maraschino cherry commercially bleached, soaked in high fructose corn syrup, then dyed in neon shades of crimson, orange and green is a signature garnish for everything from Shirley Temples to Adam and Eve Martinis.

The original maraschino with delightful fruity and nutty nuances was a painstaking work of art from Croatia and northern Italy using the marasca cherry marinated in maraschino liqueur. You can concoct your own maraschinos (alcohol-free) so the whole family can enjoy this little darling.
