BY KAREN BILLING One of the most important lessons in public school education is that in California, all students have a “free school guarantee” – meaning no students can be charged a fee to participate in educational activities. The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) is hoping to hammer that fact home, holding informational meetings with its district attorney to educate administrators, athletic directors, booster parents, foundation and middle school PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) members. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the meetings are an effort to get everyone in the district on the same page regarding donations so that the language that goes out to parents is always clear and consistent. At a meeting held at Torrey Pines High School Aug. 24, attorney Jordan Bilbeisi, of Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, said while the law can be “murky” on some issues, one thing is clear: “If it’s needed to participate in an educational activity, you can’t charge for it.” Bilbeisi offered parents and staff suggestions on best practices and language to avoid in the ask for donations for school programs. Over the last school year, the district faced questions regarding school site fundraising, the role of the foundations and was forced to investigate allegations of “pay to play.” Another recent complaint was filed against the La Costa Canyon High School cheerleading team, regarding the “large financial obligation” each member of the squad would be SEE DONATION, A21
BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) celebrated the ribbon cutting for the new Earl Warren Middle School on Aug. 25. In two years, the 61-year-old Solana Beach campus was demolished and completely rebuilt on time and on budget. “Our oldest middle school is now our newest, but it is still Earl Warren Middle School,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill of the $45.8 million renovation project. “The school is now technologically advanced, it’s highly efficient and it’s suited to the needs of our modern students. This school is symbolic of our school district, it’s always adapting, always evolving and always advancing, and on the leading SEE EARL WARREN, A22
Del Mar’s fired chief lifeguard disputes allegations BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Pat Vergne, Del Mar’s former chief lifeguard and director of community services, is firing back against the city’s allegations that led to his dismissal after nearly 40 years as perhaps the city’s most visible and beloved employee. After a nearly five-month investigation that infuriated a legion of longtime residents who rallied in Vergne’s support, the city on Aug. 23 fired Vergne — and moved to fire two of his subordinates —alleging a litany of improper actions related to the Powerhouse Community Center, payroll records and a city credit card. The city had suspended Vergne and Liza Rogers — an administrative assistant in the community services department — in early April after a pair of complaints from two city lifeguards. That led to an exhaustive outside investigation that
pored through thousands of records and yielded a 1,700-page report detailing 95 instances between 2015 and 2017 that allegedly cost the city more than $200,000 — primarily that Vergne and Rogers allegedly waived fees for renting the Powerhouse Community Center and filed erroneous overtime claims — as well as allowing a part-time employee to bill the city for more than $20,000 in Powerhouse upkeep. Vergne’s attorney, Del Mar resident Dan Crabtree, immediately disputed the allegations, and issued a statement on Aug. 24 saying all the practices have long been known to city officials without any issue ever being raised. Crabtree has also criticized the secretive manner in which the city conducted its investigation. “From the very beginning, Pat was never told about any of the allegations, ever,” Crabtree said in an

Del Mar, by its residents, has always been known as the People’s Republic of Del Mar, and they’re living up to that exact billing.” City officials are standing their ground, saying that the investigation uncovered a pattern of behaviors that kept the allegedly improper activities hidden from sight. “We have very clear rules and procedures, these employees just elected to avoid them,” City Manager Scott Huth said in an interview. “It’s so bizarre that it’s really collusion.

Hearing on short-term SD Police: Despite perception, crime is down in Carmel Valley rentals in Del Mar nears BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Del Mar is set for its first public hearing on the package of ordinances and code amendments that the city hopes to enact for regulating short-term rentals, the first in a handful of city and state proceedings that will come as Del Mar moves to put its rental regime in place by next summer. The Sept. 12 hearing before the city’s planning commission will look at a package of proposed changes to the city’s municipal code that, taken together, would institute sweeping reforms arrived at this spring and summer that aim to allow casual rental activity but prevent residents from using their home as their livelihood. The commission is expected to issue a recommendation that the city council would take up as early as October. The last time the planning commission took on short-term rentals (STRs) was in February, when it narrowly ruled that Del Mar’s planning documents do not provide enough information to determine whether STRs are an allowed use. That sent the issue back to the city council, clearing the way for the April ruling that set the restrictive course the city is now trying to implement. That regime defines STRs as rentals that last less than 30 days, including whole-home rentals, home exchanges — in which families “swap” homes — and home sharing, in which an owner rents out a room or portion of their home. In follow-up meetings this summer, the council and city staff wrestled with the finer points of zoning language and enforcement in a piecemeal fashion, culminating in the draft amendments unveiled last week. The draft amendments can be found at www.delmar.ca.us/563/Short-Term-Rentals. The crux of the proposed framework is that STRs will be capped at 28 days per year, with no individual rental allowed to last fewer than seven days. Business licenses will not be SEE RENTALS, A20

California Department of Education: No pay for play at Torrey Pines High
Rising oceans stir rising discord in Del Mar BY SEBASTIAN MONTES As Del Mar’s shoreline washes away one wave and winter storm at a time, the city’s task force on sea-level rise is struggling to choose from responses that offer partial and impermanent remedy while each wreaking a havoc of their own. Sea walls and other man-made fortifications protect homes in the short term but exacerbate beach erosion in the long term. Artificial reefs dampen
wave action, but at the detriment of surfing. Lifting homes onto stilts buys time but nothing else. Replenishing a beach’s sand carries a hefty cost, a fleeting payoff and is notoriously finicky — slight miscalculations in grain size can render a decade-long project null within a few years. That’s the herculean task ahead as members of the Sea-Level Rise Stakeholder-Technical Advisory Committee
(STAC) culminate their two-year, state-funded endeavor to prepare Del Mar for the beach erosion and coastal flooding predicted to come with climate change. But in the city’s beach colony, the endeavor poses a threat far more imminent than the 20and 50-year forecasts of breached sea walls and inundated streets.

for all students. We are grateful for their generosity.” Gumb said the CDE’s response focused mainly on unlawful pupil fees and that a number of other issues in her complaint still need to be addressed. “No one is protecting our students when coaches are allowed to operate within a loophole,” Gumb said. “It’s time to close the loophole.” In her complaint, Gumb alleged that students were “required” to make a donation to play on the TPHS baseball team and that the Foundation kept track of who paid and sent out reminders to those who failed to pay. She also alleged that individuals associated with the baseball team were given exclusive access to players and TPHS facilities to run club sports like the AAU team. The CDE’s evidence for its findings included emails from private accounts of parent liaisons of the TPHS Foundation and photographs of a clipboard with names of students and a column with the heading “Paid” which was left at a table during baseball registration. The district found that emails were sent requesting a “minimum donation” of $695. Although the evidence indicates most students provided donations, three to seven students do not donate and there is no evidence that failing to donate had any effect on student participation in the program.

COURTESY OF THE CITY OF DEL MAR
BY KAREN BILLING The California Department of Education has found no evidence that Torrey Pines High School’s baseball program violated the law and required students to pay to play on the team. The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) received the California Department of Education’s (CDE) decision on Aug. 28. Parent Wendy Gumb submitted her complaint to the district in January and appealed the district’s findings to the CDE in June. The CDE decision concluded that the evidence in the complaint “failed to support a conclusion that students were required to participate in a fee-based AAU baseball program or make a donation to the Foundation in order to make the official TPHS spring baseball team.” The CDE also found that baseball club teams operated by the TPHS Foundation outside of the regular season (the AAU Falcons) were separate from district-operated programs, so the related fees charged by the TPHS Foundation were permissible. “We’ve always known that the team’s success comes from the hard work, talent, and dedication of our outstanding student athletes and coaches,” said SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill in a statement. “Our parents know when they choose to support our foundations that they are providing better opportunities

ATP students tour new La Costa Canyon home
BY KAREN BILLING On Friday, Aug. 25 parents and students toured the new Adult Transition Program classrooms at La Costa Canyon High School. The Adult Transition Program (ATP) supports special needs students ages 18 to 22 and helps prepare them for adult life — the meet and greet was a way for students to explore their new home. After parents voiced concerns about ATP’s placement into portables on the Earl Warren Middle School campus, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) responded by moving the program into three permanent classrooms on the La Costa Canyon campus. In just a few short weeks,
district staff got the classrooms ready to go for the first day of school Aug. 29. The program has its own entrance from the LCC parking lot, leading to one classroom in its own building with a large outdoor space around it and two classrooms in an adjacent building, linked by a work space and bathroom. The classrooms have computer work stations, multiple windows and one has a small kitchen set up. The outdoor space has picnic tables, new planter boxes where students will be able to cultivate fruits and vegetables for the school’s culinary program, and temporary shade structures that will soon become permanent.
Teachers Marianne Rather, Carolyn Wong and Elizabeth Engelberg were at the meet and greet, along with SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill, Assistant Superintendent Mark Miller, Director of School and Student Services Meredith Wadley and SDUHSD board members. The teachers said they were excited for the new school year and looking forward to supporting students in their continued journey toward adult independence. Students checked out their new classrooms and enjoyed cookies and refreshments while also connecting with friends after the summer. “I see so many familiar faces!” remarked one student.

Parent Lucile Lynch said that the location of the program in the northernmost part of the district may be an adjustment for some parents but in terms of the actual space, it was a huge improvement. “It’s probably the best the ATP program has ever had. Staff worked hard to make it happen and it showed,” Lynch said. “The LCC setting offers a wonderful learning environment with classrooms that have lots of natural light and space. One of the areas has a lot of space for outdoor activities to help teach students about our environment as well as vocational skills. I am very excited to see what everyone can do working together as we move forward.”

Giant Expectations tops at Grade II, $200,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes Giant Expectations (left) rallied past Calculator (center) and Mr. Hinx en route to a 1 1/2-length victory in the Grade II, $200,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Del Mar. Calculator finished second, 2 3/4 lengths clear of third-place runner Silent Bird (not pictured). Under jockey Gary Stevens, Giant Expectations traveled the 7 furlongs on the dirt in 1:21.08. “There was some ‘jockeying’ going on out there, especially between (Kent) Desormeaux (on Silent
Bird) and me,” Stevens said. “We were going in and out, but my horse loved it (the competition). He’s a bulldog. … I thought he was sitting on something big. He showed it today. And I think he’ll actually be better off if they run him a mile. (The win gave him automatic entrance into the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.) He’ll have more time to settle going into that first turn, and I expect he’ll run big.” The winner – trained by Peter Eurton – is owned by Exline Border Racing and Gatto Racing (Dan Gatto of
Encinitas). In the day’s supporting feature, Battle of Midway drew off to a 6 1/4-length win in the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes.

BY JOE TASH Water officials in San Diego County have come out against a proposed state law that would impose a new monthly fee on all residential and commercial water users in California, to pay for programs that provide access to clean and safe drinking water in communities where water sources are contaminated. Opponents of the legislation have called the proposed fee a “water tax,” while supporters said it is “vitally needed” to deal with a state health crisis. At its meeting in August, the board of the Santa Fe Irrigation District voted to oppose the proposed law, Senate Bill 623, authored by Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel), unless it is amended to remove the proposed fee on water users. Earlier this summer, the board of the San Diego County Water Authority, the region’s water wholesaler, took a similar position. The Santa Fe district doesn’t oppose the goal of providing clean drinking water to communities that lack it, said spokeswoman Jessica Parks, but the district does object to the imposition of a new state fee on water customers. “This would be another charge we would have to put on the customer,” said Parks. “I think our customers have been vocal about the amount they already pay on their bills. To add more fees and taxes will only harm our customers.”
In a recently published op-ed piece, Water Authority chairman Mark Muir wrote that money for the “Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund” should instead come from existing sources such as the state general fund, federal safe drinking water funds, the newly authorized state cap-and-trade program or general obligation bonds. SB 623 calls for fees ranging from 95 cents per month to $10 per month for residential and commercial water customers, depending on the size of their water meter. The money would be collected by local water agencies such as Santa Fe Irrigation District. Glenn Farrel, government relations manager with the County Water Authority, lauded the bill’s intentions and said the quarrel is with the funding mechanism. “We don’t at all dispute the intent of the bill,” Farrel said. “We believe there’s a need. It’s just the source of funding in this bill, the water tax, that’s the crux of our opposition.” The proposed fee would raise an estimated $100 million to $130 million per year, with an additional $30 million coming from fees on the dairy and fertilizer industries. Supporters of the bill said 300 communities across the state, home to as many as 1 million Californians, lack SEE WATER, A20

Cranes for a Cure
Local mother honors her son’s memory with 2,000 crane display at New Children’s Museum Sept. 6-Oct. 2
BY KAREN BILLING n origami crane starts with a simple square piece of paper, rising from a series of meticulous folds. Carmel Valley’s Kathy Liu has made thousands and thousands, with beautiful paper of all colors and patterns, attached to strings, adorned with beads, added to a cheerful mobile or to be a part of a meaningful display. She makes the cranes in memory of her son Joey, who died from a rare form of kidney cancer at age 10. Origami was something that Joey really liked, he loved to fold since he was in kindergarten and by second grade he was extremely good. “When he was here, I never folded,” said Liu. “Now that he’s not here, I fold every day.” Every September since she lost Joey in 2014, she has made a display of 2,000 paper origami cranes as part of her nonprofit Joey’s Wings Crane for a Cure project. The 2,000 birds represent the 2,000 children that die from childhood cancer every year and this year they will take flight at San Diego’s New Children’s Museum from Sept. 6 through Oct. 2 in honor of Joey and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In Chinese and Japanese culture, cranes mean health and hope and good luck. The belief is that if you fold 1,000 cranes, your wish will be granted — Liu has only ever had one wish and that’s a wish for a cure. As it stands now, only 4 percent of federal funding

Through Joey’s Wings, Liu raises awareness and funds for childhood cancer and supports children and families going through the same fight. She makes mobiles for young patients, cranes to cheer up a hospital IV pole, she makes earrings with delicately folded tiny cranes to sell, and, over the last holiday season, made crane ornaments that she sold in front of Ralphs to raise money for Rady Children’s Hospital. There’s a Joey’s Wings 5K and a gala in Florida every year and the Burn Running Club, a nonprofit in the Bay Area, also holds an annual race to support Joey’s Wings. Now that Liu is in San Diego she is focused less on events and more on lobbying efforts. In May, she represented California with 200 advocates from all over the country for Childhood Cancer Action Day, meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill. “Childhood cancer is so sad, people don’t want to talk about it,” Liu said. “It’s a challenge (to receive funding) because it’s rare. Seven children every day in America die from cancer and 46 are diagnosed, 263 children die every day around the world from childhood cancer. If we find a cure it’s not just for our kids, it’s for kids all over the world.” Even at a young age, Joey was known for his

By the time he was diagnosed, it had spread from his kidney to his abdomen, chest and neck.

Making films to make the world a better place
BY LISA DEADERICK athaniel Goodman has learned to embrace more of the moments of his life, including the difficult ones. When he was 9, he and his parents were in a car accident that almost ended his parents’ lives. While he was spared from any serious injuries, he’d spent the year that they were recovering doing what he could to be supportive and help out around the house, and those things helped distract him from the trauma and grief. “At first, I didn’t want to preserve my memory of the accident. I wanted to move on, erasing evidence of trauma. But troubling moments become part of who we are, for better or worse, giving our lives depth and humility,” he says. “That’s one of the reasons I started to make movies: to preserve moments and capture emotions, even the vulnerable ones.” Today, he’s the founder of Filmmaking for Good, a nonprofit he started to help other nonprofit organizations share stories about the work they’re doing in the community through his promotional videos. He meets with clients, spends time shooting footage and interviews, and edits the material into films that those organizations can use to raise money and awareness. That work enabled him to apply for and be selected as one of the winners of this year’s Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award (dillerteenawards.org), in which each of the 15 recipients nationwide receives $36,000 for taking on global issues and working toward change. Goodman, 19, lives in Carmel Valley with his parents, Wende and Ira, and will be a freshman at Brown University this fall. He took some time to talk about Filmmaking for Good, what it
N
means to him to be selected for the Diller award and how he’s learned to find value in failure. Q: Tell us about Filmmaking for Good. A: Filmmaking for Good has one very simple goal: to promote as many nonprofit organizations and youth groups as possible to raise awareness and funds, from which more people can be served and inspired to serve. It all started in high school, when I saw there was a disparity between organizations doing good work effectively and those doing it ineffectively. I noticed that the missing piece of the puzzle was media outreach, so I thought of no better way to bridge the resource gap than to bring my skills to struggling nonprofits. Q: Why was this kind of work something you felt like you wanted to do? A: It combined my natural inclination to produce films with my community involvement, in a variety of settings. It was a talent that I loved practicing, and it was needed by almost every organization I participated in. People like to watch a multidimensional project involving moving pictures over reading a one-dimensional narrative, in most instances. Q: How did you get into filmmaking? A: From an early age, I would watch my father craft short videos of family events and observe my mother work on her still life paintings. Though I would not classify our family as artistic — my father is an eye surgeon and my mother is a substitute teacher — I was always encouraged to find a mode of expression that’s dear to me, so I could march to my own drum. I picked up my first camera when I was 5, unwitting of the potential that lay within the little black box. Following my traumatic car accident, I knew I wanted to pursue storytelling

Igniting some fire in the belly is the first step to making greater change.
”
Nathaniel Goodman
Nathaniel Goodman because it helped me capture emotions and maintain memories; many of which make up the life that was almost swept away before my eyes. I’ve found filmmaking to be instrumental to my development. It’s able to convey certain emotions and realities in ways literature, photography, and music cannot. What I love about Carmel Valley ... I was born in Arizona, raised alongside scorpions and coyotes. While Scottsdale showed me how to get along with similar people, I didn’t know how to thrive in a diverse environment until I moved to Carmel Valley. Today, I carpool with students from Beijing — adopting motivating phrases like “jia you,” which means “work harder” — and learn how to count in Arabic from my lab partner. The discussions I share here have shaped the way I value different perspectives. Q: What happens when a nonprofit has a service project they want your help with? A: My project works not only through word of mouth in the community, but also via my website and YouTube channel. On these online platforms, prospective nonprofit organizations can view my previous projects and arrange a time to meet with me, wherein we discuss ways I can visualize their project in the most compelling way possible. Overhead is pretty minimal, as I have my own camera equipment, computer and editing software. Rarely do I need to outsource my work. Q: Were you familiar with the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards before receiving one this year? A: I was vaguely familiar with the awards before applying. Up until my senior year, I never thought I would stand a chance winning an award bestowed to only 15 Jewish teens in the entire country. Each year in high school, I saw press releases on teens who had previously won the award. I was inspired by their dedication to service and innovation in the community, so I sought to make the most of the resources around me to create a meaningful service project, without the slightest intention of applying for the award in the future. However, upon entering senior year, my parents encouraged me to apply. They have always been an integral source of support in my life. I am forever indebted to them for giving me the support and confidence I needed to thrive in the application process and beyond. Q: The term “tikkun olam” means to “repair the world.” When you think about this, what do you see in the world that needs repairing? A: When I think of “tikkun olam,” a few
JOHN R. MCCUTCHEN/SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE
things come into my mind: I think of Frederick Douglass’ maxim that, “it’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” This quotation strikes me because I’ve noticed that much of the world’s political and social problems stem from poor education of youth. That is why many of my videos focus on youth-centric nonprofits and my volunteer work is devoted to at-risk youth. If we can build better youth, then we can build a better future, and thus a better world. Q: What does it mean to you to receive the award? A: It is such an honor to be selected and I’m so grateful to the Helen Diller Family Foundation for giving me this opportunity to further my vision for helping others. Receiving this award is not only an honor, but it’s also a validation of the importance and potential of our work; this award allows me to carry on the Jewish tradition of “tikkun olam.” Q: What’s been challenging about running your own nonprofit? A: What is difficult about this project is putting what a youth director and I have planned into a cogent narrative. Resolving this issue requires several in-person meetings so I can fully understand what they envision. Another challenge is promotion, of not only my service project, but also the individual videos I make for organizations. I start tackling these obstacles by connecting with the community on Facebook — I’ve found that just a simple share or like can go a long way in garnering viewership and awareness for a cause. Q: What’s been rewarding about the work you’ve been doing? A: Seeing people get excited about an issue because they watched my video. Because igniting some fire in the belly is the first step to making greater change. There is also a great sense of satisfaction from the process of making films itself. I love working the camera and meticulously editing a project on the computer. Q: What has this work taught you about yourself? A: It’s taught me how to be self-sufficient, but also important is that this work has showed me that there are things that I am not good at. So, working with a team or outsourcing a project can be equally important. I’ve also learned the importance of keeping my word, and being careful who I give it to. There have been times when I’ve stretched myself too thin with academics, conservatory, service, etc., that I drive myself to exhaustion. SEE FILMMAKER, A14

Solana Beach skater wheelies his way into the Guinness world record BY SEBASTIAN MONTES His limbs leaning, tilting and teetering down North Sierra Avenue, Sean Glatts wills his skateboard to the piece of tape marking his 368-foot midpoint, then reverses course and works his way back toward Clark Street, fighting against his own weight with his board’s front two wheels lifted precariously, almost miraculously, into the air. The ceaseless churning left and right keeps his board rolling forward — slowly, painfully forward —over nearly two agonizing minutes, the fatigue like fire in his feet and thighs as he lurches past the small band of friends and witnesses looking on, recording his feat, almost too tense to cheer. Every tortured sinew screams at him to stop, pain nearly to the point of tears. In that, the 17-year-old finds his resolve: those 100 grueling seconds are a pittance compared to the months of determination and calculated torment he’s put himself through in the run-up to his world-record attempt. His mission had started last summer after a spill at skate camp left him with a broken arm. Limited by injury, he could only fiddle with the most basic of tricks, and before long he discovered an odd knack for wheelies — known as a “manual” in skate lingo. A quick check of the Guinness records revealed a goal seemed within reach: in 2012, Canadian skater Jeffrey Nolan traversed just over 712 feet solely on a skateboard’s back wheels. So he set himself to that task, forsaking his senior-year summer and dedicating himself with almost maniacal obsession. “People would ask me to hang out, but this was the only thing. I wanted to focus on,
SEBASTIAN MONTES
Sean Glatts (left) on his way to setting a world record. nothing else,” Sean said. “I had to push myself every single day. I could have decided to go hang out with my friends or watch TV. But I wanted this, so I put everything I had into it because I knew that I wanted a future where I could look back and remember that I achieved the things that I wanted to achieve.” Over and over again he mounted his green “penny board” — the plastic, 1970s throwback with the narrow deck and even narrower axles — in hour-long sessions, three times daily without fail or distraction, only his board and those 712 feet. It felt like ages before his feet were strong
enough to come even close. Finally, a few weeks ago, he crossed the threshold for the first time. But once wasn’t good enough; he refused to let up until he could break the record on nearly every try. Once that time came, he set Saturday, Aug. 23 as the fateful day. Nerves on a scale he hadn’t imagined possible took hold as he strapped on his helmet and took to the street on Saturday in front of a gallery that included Solana Beach Mayor Mike Nichols — a sponsored skater in his younger days — extreme sports pioneer Ira Opper and Sean Mortimer, the Tony Hawk biographer and former editor of
Skateboarder Magazine. With a friend and GoPro in tow, Sean embarked on his momentous feat, but three-quarters of the way in, his balance wavered and his front wheels fell falteringly to the street. Watching nearby, mom Kelly Harless refused to flinch as he picked up his board and ran back to the starting line. She’s seen how he’s grown from the hundreds of failed runs. As he pushed into his second try, her faith never wavered. “Our family has lived, eaten and breathed this,” she said. “There were times where he felt like he just couldn’t do it. But he persevered. He did it all on his own. I didn’t do a darn thing except show up and make some cookies and lemonade.” Again Sean maneuvered past his house to the halfway mark, again turning carefully around toward Clark Street, 70 seconds, 80 seconds, the left-right churn never ending. Ninety seconds brought the end tantalizingly near. His posture eased. His face softened into its first hint of a smile. With the last three feet before him, he announced ever-so nonchalant: “Hi, I’m Sean and I kinda just broke a world record,” and then slammed those front wheels down in a fit of exhaustion and exultation. Seven hundred thirty-six feet on skateboard, entirely on its back wheels. Hello, Guinness Book of World Records. It could take up to 12 weeks for Guinness to review the witness statements and confirm the video footage. “I’m so happy I can’t believe it,” he gushed SEE SKATER, A19

SD Rhythms brings winning rhythmic gymnastics program to Solana Beach
COURTESY PHOTOS
San Diego Rhythm’s Jessica Tijam became a Level 9 USA Rhythmic Gymnastics National Champion
BY KAREN BILLING For the last 16 years, the San Diego Rhythms has been dedicated to promoting the sport of rhythmic gymnastics and providing excellence in all aspects of rhythmic gymnastics and dance. While their program has been centered in Carmel Valley and La Jolla, this September they will expand to Solana Beach. Rhythmic gymnastics is a combination of gymnastics, ballet and modern dance, choreographed to music and performed with five apparatuses: ribbons, balls, ropes, hoops and clubs. The Rhythms will offer beginner classes, developmental and competitive teams training at all three locations: the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Polster branch in Carmel Valley, the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Harper branch in Solana Beach. Sofia Minevich, a former rhythmic and artistic gymnast and figure skater from Russia, founded the Rhythms in Carmel Valley in 2001. Since then it has grown to one of the most well-known programs in the country and has

produced several regional, state and national champions. This year, the Rhythms had great success in competitions. Jessica Tijam of Poway became a Level 9 USA Rhythmic Gymnastics National Champion, finishing among the top 12 gymnasts in the country on ribbon and clubs events. Jessica is also a Region 1 level 9 ball and ribbon events champion in her age division and all around silver medalist and Region 1 Junior Olympics team member for the third year in a row. Chloe Zhong, a Canyon Crest Academy sophomore, also competed at the USA Gymnastics Nationals and won a bronze medal in level 9. Two Carmel Valley Rhythms students made it to the USA Gymnastics Rhythmic Future Stars team this year — level 6 gymnast Kaylee Yen and Lucia Feldstein, a level 7 gymnast who is an incoming fifth grader at Sage Canyon Elementary School. Both Kaylee and Lucia recently returned from training at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. Defne Yavuz, a level 7 gymnast and fifth grader at Torrey Hills Elementary School, was named to the US Rhythmic Youth Squad roster and will go to a special training camp at Lake Placid in September. While some of the Rhythms are practicing six times a week and competing at the highest level, the Rhythms are also about fun and fitness, helping to raise happy, healthy, confident, focused and creative individuals, Minevich said. “I like coaching and I like helping kids to become who they are,” Minevich said. “I like to help kids really shine. Some are unsure of who they are but they build confidence and strength. I see in front of my eyes how they change.” All of the coaches are USA Gymnastics Professional members and safety certified, like the well-known Marina Kukhta, who used to coach a member of the USA Olympic team and Minevich’s daughter Nicole, a Canyon Crest Academy graduate who is a six-time Region 1 Coach of the Year.

Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A: To not let my plans interfere with life’s spontaneity and freedom because it’s the spontaneous encounters that may expose us to failure, and failure is the best way to learn. As Peter Diamandis says, “fail early, fail often, fail forward.” Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: That I play ping pong almost every day. Q: Describe your ideal San Diego weekend. A: On Saturday, it would be to meditate with
the sunrise at Torrey Pines Preserve; work out; read a book on personal development, neuroscience, or economics; go surfing with friends; hang out with my family; play ping pong; and end the night watching “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” On Sunday, it would be a walk on the beach with family, journaling to assess my failures of last week and goals for the upcoming week, work out, go to the San Diego Zoo (I’ve actually never been before), and get boba tea on Convoy Street with friends, and cook Indian food with my mom. – Lisa Deaderick is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Former standout CCA volleyball player remains connected to program BY GIDEON RUBIN When Kalie Wood struggled early on in her Canyon Crest Academy volleyball career she went to coaches for help. They tossed her a yoga mat. “(CCA Volleyball coach Ariel Haas) rolled up a yoga mat and put it under my arms and said ‘You are not allowed to drop this yoga mat and you’re going to pass this ball,’ and he videotaped me at the same time,” Wood said. The unconventional move paid off. Wood went on to be a standout libero. She now plays at Columbia University in New York City. And she wants to give back. She’s among several current and former CCA players who’ve remained connected to a program that many current and former players say emphasizes useful life and social skills along with the high-level volleyball. They’ve taken on ambassadorship roles this summer that points to loyalty running deep in the program. Earlier this summer Wood helped coach an inaugural CCA indoor volleyball camp for middle schoolers and those entering ninths grade. “I think this is one way of presenting Canyon Crest as a community that doesn’t just end after you graduate,” Wood said. “I had a lot of really strong mentors throughout high school
who showed me what it means to be a student athlete in all senses and work hard on and off the court, so this is my way of kind of giving back in a sense, because I wouldn’t be where I am if I didn’t have good leadership and good mentorship from the girls who came before me.” Wood was also among several CCA alumni who wrote letters to the current players emphasizing what they believe to be some of the program’s core values. Ravens coaches named an award after her for those demonstrating her trademark leadership and passion for the game. Wood was the inaugural winner in 2015. Whitley Ballard was named the award winner last year. “It’s meant to remind the current kids and to teach the new kids about how we do things, and to maintain our culture of the standards that we adhere to,” Haas said, noting the effort, behavior and emphasis on getting his players to believe that they’re playing for something bigger than themselves. Haas said he got the letter-writing idea from reading about a Florida golf academy run by David Leadbetter that incorporates sports psychology. “I don’t give them any instructions,” he said. “I just tell them what the point of the letter is, and they go forward and write it.”
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS/MIKE MCLAUGHLIN
Former CCA volleyball standout Kalie Wood now plays at Columbia University. He didn’t have to. Those who benefited from a program that emphasizes team-building and emotional development along with volleyball skills were eager to share their experience. “Culture is so crucial to having a successful team and setting the standard early, that you’ve got to do a lot of work building a team culture with kids that didn’t know each other and have never played with one another and to understand what each one is about and what each one
is striving for and how to behave is a crucial element to a team’s success,” Haas said. Wood’s letter was read to the team by her younger sister Gracie, an incoming CCA freshman. “Kalie mentioned a lot about Haas and other coaches pushing us really hard mentally and physically and that it’s not just about volleyball,” Gracie Wood said. “It’s about our mental state and being mentally tough. “It’s a lot about enjoying the experience because it goes by really
fast, especially for her.” Gracie said that in just a few weeks of practice she’s noticed a difference in her Ravens coaches’ approach compared to previous experiences. “So far it’s been a lot of mental work, a lot of visualization,” she said. “I’m not used to this because it’s different from my club team, we never did this type of stuff. I kind of enjoy it. I think a lot of schools would just focus on the volleyball aspect, they wouldn’t t focus on playing as a team or knowing your limits and pushing past your limits, Haas and Rachel, both coaches emphasize that.” A lot schools probably also wouldn’t roll out yoga mats in passing drills. “I do remember that,” Haas said. “We needed to simplify her (passing) motion and change her technique a little bit, and that was the best way to give her some tactile feedback to make the change quickly.” Haas insists he won’t hesitate to roll out more unconventional instructional props. “I’ll do whatever it takes,” Haas said. “I’ll bring a rolling chair into practice, put yoga mats under your arm, tape your arms together. Whatever works. Sometimes it’s not good enough to just hear what you’re doing wrong or even see what you’re doing wrong. Sometimes you need to feel it, so I made that up.”
Rescued dog finds permanent home after life-saving surgery BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A dog who was abandoned on the side of the road, captured the hearts of people all over the country and sparked media attention now has a new chance at life. As of Aug. 24, Orson, a 2-year-old English Settler mix, is living permanently with the Encinitas family that has cared for him for months, as he was going through surgery and rehabilitation for a deformed front leg. He was found abandoned by the side of a freeway in Mexico. A good samaritan took him to a Baja Rescue Group before he was transferred to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) in Encinitas in April. When the 35-pound pup arrived, RCHS staff discovered Orson had a bone in his right, front leg that was too short. His original adoptive family agreed to have Orson's leg fixed but eventually returned him without the surgeries after learning the costs would range from $5,400 to $5,800. "Our medical fund was depleted after we recently accepted dozens of dogs and puppies rescued from commercial breeding operations, also known as puppy mills," explained RCHS President Jim Silveira. "[Orson's original adoptive family] did not have the surgery and returned him in worse condition than before." RCHS reached out to its volunteers and successfully raised the money needed for the surgery with Dr. Joshua Jackson at Veterinary Specialty Hospital. Orson had a fixator installed to stretch the bone, and his back right knee was also operated on for another problem. RCHS received dozens of applications for Orson, including from the family that has been
Orson caring for him since May. Their home was the right fit, RCHS decided. The Lofshult family, including their two other dogs, officially adopted Orson on the morning of Aug. 24 after receiving clearance from the vet. Diane Lofshult said when she first met Orson, she wasn't expecting that she would adopt him because she didn't want to be a "foster failure." "That's what it's called when you adopt your foster," she explained, laughing. "But if you have to fail at something, that's not a bad thing to fail at. I did think about if this was the best

situation for Orson, and when I saw how well he got along with our other dogs, I knew he was home." While Orson's surgery was a success, he will suffer some long-term effects, such as a slight limp, said Kathy Zerkle, RCHS vice president of adoption services. His family will also have to watch for arthritis, and they have been training him in the pool for water therapy. As he entered RCHS Thursday morning, Aug. 24, Orson trotted in with a smile on his face, as if he knew he was on his way to his forever home and like he was no longer in any pain. Lofshult described Orson as a sweet, mellow

"When we first got him, he wanted to play with the other dogs but wasn't able to, physically," she said. "Now, he's able to do everything they're able to do. He's very grateful. You can sense that he's glad for everything everybody has done for him. Orson embodies a lot of people coming together to make his life better."

FROM OCEANS, A3 immediate threat just might be the plan itself. Per state mandate, the committee is trying to asses exactly what and where the city’s vulnerabilities are, identify what corrective measures that can be taken, gauge the trade-offs in those measures, and determine what the triggers should be for taking those actions. The committee’s plan lays out five courses of action, starting with sand replenishment and changing redevelopment regulations to allow homes to be raised. The list closes with the possibility of removing property. “In the long-term with higher amounts and rates of sea-level rise, removing structures will likely be required to meet the guiding adaptation principles of maintaining a relatively low flood damage risk and a walkable beach,” the draft reads. That prospect filled STAC’s Aug. 24 meeting with irate homeowners from the beach colony, their tempers already inflamed by the fact that nearly no one in the neighborhood had received notice of the meeting. STAC chairwoman Terry Gaasterland tried to assure them of the committee’s priorities. “The beach is important to Del Mar. But our neighbors, all of us, are important to Del Mar,” she said. “Protecting property is first and foremost. Protecting the beach is part of protecting property. It’s a real struggle.” That did little to soothe the rancor, and the meeting repeatedly turned chaotic as the homeowners tried to explain that the mere mention of home removal will devastate the real estate market in the beach colony, which combines to more than $1 billion in assessed property value. “What everybody is trying to tell you is that people aren’t going to buy houses down there,” said beach colony resident Larry Wolfe. “You’re going to cut the value of everybody’s house by saying ‘If we hit a
OPINION certain trigger we’re going to take your house away.’ That’s what every real estate person we’ve showed this to is saying, and that’s what everybody sitting here has been telling you all night long. Is there not a way that you can just not talk about taking people’s property away from them? Can you start with the beginning of your plan and then if it hits a certain point then we say, ‘OK we’ll come up with another plan,’ instead of putting it in there now and killing everyone’s real estate value? That’s what everyone’s been saying to you all night long. Jiminy Christmas, how many times do we have to say it?” Amanda Lee, a senior planner with the city, tried to explain that removing structures is the last resort. When the uproar didn’t abate, she went even further. “We’re not going to write that in,” she said. “You’re looking at an initial draft and we’ll not put anything forward that has any type of regulatory taking. We’re trying to be sensitive to your concerns. We’re going to be careful with the language. This is very early in the process and we understand.” As the meeting wore on, a semblance of consensus emerged over sand replenishment being Del Mar’s best option. Encinitas and Solana Beach are awaiting a $174 million federal project that’s been in the works for 20 years. The first deposits are expected within the next year or two. Prevailing currents will bring much of that sand to Del Mar beaches after a few years. The draft adaptation plan has suggested 1 foot of sea-level rise as the trigger to begin sand replenishment. Several residents and committee members said the city can’t afford to wait that long. “We probably needed to start replenishing the beach last year. That’s something we can start thinking about tangibly, as a community, now,” Gaasterland said. “So maybe the trigger needs to be 0 feet of rise. That’s starting to be what I’m hearing.” But with sand — and funding — in short
www.delmartimes.net supply, strengthening and raising the sea walls that already line most of Del Mar’s beach may be the only option immediately at hand — a reality that the Surfrider Foundation worries is becoming a de facto policy statewide. Mandy Sackett, part of a Surfrider contingent that attended the Aug. 24 meeting, contrasted the beach colony’s concerns with the interests of millions of Californians who by law have the same rights to the beach. “Hard armoring is killing our beaches,” she said. “When we meet rising seas with sea walls and revetments, we lose our beaches. That fact is clear. Sea walls protect property, not beaches or ecosystems.” But whereas Surfrider said 30 to 70 percent of sand in a typical beach comes from bluff erosion, STAC member Mark Handzel pointed to a study that found that in Del Mar, bluff erosion contributes about 1 percent of the beach’s sand. As will be detailed in STAC’s upcoming report on sedimentation, Del Mar’s sand deficit traces back to the damming of Lake Hodges, Handzel said. But Del Mar isn’t likely to effect change at Lake Hodges because the dam is so vital to residents in Rancho Santa Fe, he said. “Sea-level rise is a result of what everyone’s done. Everyone has contributed to the carbon issue and so everyone has to contribute to the solution,” he said. “So how do we make compromises that go across everyone? It can’t be just the property owners. It can’t be just the beach users. It can’t be just the surf people. Everyone has to contribute to the final solution.” Committee members hope to put the finishing touches on their draft by STAC’s Sept. 21 meeting. From there the adaptation plan will go to the city planning commission and city council before eventually being amended into the Del Mar’s Local Coastal Program, which is overseen by the California Coastal Commission.

Supervisor still ruling the swamp Rising sea level has been attributed to global warming. Since the sea is rising, are other bodies of water doing likewise? Well, the swamp in Washington has been rising for the past 20 years or so, and it is still rising. Sacramento is inundated with its swamp, as well. And now the rising swamp is lapping on the beaches of Del Mar. Del Mar, where the turf meets the swamp! Since the Powerhouse Community Center opened about 20 years ago, Del Mar has had a Community Services Director who has provided excellent service to the community, particularly to its non-profit organizations. That was the intent of the citizens’ group that renovated the Powerhouse from the derelict eyesore that the City was contemplating demolishing. Now after
20 years of such operation with no known complaints from three City Managers, this procedure has been declared wrong. Wrong enough to warrant the Director being fired. The current City Manager did not provide the necessary leadership or management to the Director as expected from a supervisor. Now, the Director is gone, but the supervisor is still ruling the swamp. Martha and Larry Brooks Del Mar
Why no action taken? According to Dan McSwain in his Aug. 28 article in the San Diego Union Tribune titled “Scandal at SANDAG fells a true hero to commuters,” he strongly suggests that even though Mr. Gallegos took the fall for the biggest scandal to ever hit the agency, the Executive
Committee of SANDAG must surely have known the details of the erroneously projected financial forecast stated in the failed ballot measure. In other words, if Mayor Terry Sinnott, the insider Republican Vice-Chair from Del Mar, did not know all of this, he certainly must have been asleep at the wheel, something that is hard for many to believe. I mention this because Terry had the audacity to criticize Pat Vergne, our now fired Del Mar Community Services Director, for his supposed wrongdoings while overlooking his own possible mistakes as our Del Mar representative to SANDAG. Why has the Del Mar City Council neglected or chosen not to ask him to step down from that position and let SANDAG start over with a clean slate of leaders. Hershell Price Del Mar

in the effusive aftermath, before dedicating the feat to his grandfather, who had been languishing in the hospital for about a week. The somber news had nearly derailed his mission as he weighed whether to break the focus that had gotten him so far. “I was isolating from my friends, maybe I’m OK with that, but I really wanted to see my grandad. He’s very, very sick,” Sean said. “So I decided if I’m going to do this, I’m going to dedicate it to him.” Still too sick for visitors, Sean’s grandfather did the next day get to watch the footage of Sean’s record-setting triumph. “He was very impressed,” Harless said. “It meant a lot to him.”
“The interviews indicate that none of the coaches ever knew which students had or had not donated to the Foundation,” the CDE report stated. The Foundation runs the club baseball team the AAU Falcons in the fall and winter and does charge players to play on the club team, but the CDE found no evidence that the district requires students to play on the club team and no evidence that the district provides preferential treatment to those who play. “There were students who played on the Foundation’s AAU team who were ultimately cut from the TPHS team and students who did not play on the Foundation’s AAU team and still made the TPHS team,” the CDE report states. The CDE report did find the district needed a stronger response to Gumb’s complaint that the Torrey Pines boys volleyball team was unlawfully charged a transportation fee. Per Gumb’s complaint, the boys volleyball team was required to ride the bus for away games and if they did not ride the bus they did not play. In order to ride the bus, they had to pay a transportation fee.
FROM LIFEGUARD, A1 check-and-balance system — colluding to basically defraud the city, it can be very hard to detect. For some of these events, they didn’t fill out any forms at all. We wouldn’t have known if not for the employees who brought it to our attention.” City officials say they have handed over their findings to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Vergne has not decided (as of press time) whether to contest his firing in court, said his attorney, Del Mar resident Dan Crabtree. The largest of the issues consist of discounting or waiving fees for renting Powerhouse Community Center that would have amounted to slightly more than $150,000. Whereas the city claims the discounts were given to friends and acquaintances, Vergne’s statement says they were for memorial services and fundraisers by community groups. Granting discounts at Powerhouse is a long-standing practice that has benefitted the city far more than the $150,000 in missed revenues, according to Vergne’s statement. “Everyone in Del Mar understood the transparency of this procedure as it was used to bring the community together and used as a fund raising tool for buildings and projects in Del Mar,” according to the statement. “Del Mar has raised almost $3 million to build the new Lifeguard Center, other buildings and their maintenance and other projects due to functions at the Powerhouse and the discounts that have been given for their use. No other city along the coast of Southern California can boast of the record Del Mar has achieved in fundraising due in large part to the handling of the Community Center/Powerhouse by Pat Vergne and his staff.” Powerhouse fees were set in 2009 and are specific on what rates to charge, Huth said — typically $3,500 for residents and $5,000 for non-residents. Prior to the investigation, the city’s finance department and auditor saw a drop-off in Powerhouse revenues the past two years and questioned Vergne as to why, Huth said. “The excuse given back was that the
SDUHSD found itself out of compliance in the its own investigation and stated they would take corrective actions, providing reimbursements to any player who felt the fee was mandatory, which Gumb’s complaint said was “insufficient.” The CDE agreed on that point, determining that SDUHSD’s proposed remedy was not compliant with the education code and that “reasonable efforts at reimbursement cannot include a requirement that an affected party demonstrate that they believed the fee was mandatory rather than voluntary.” “By finding itself out of compliance, the district determined that the fee was in fact mandatory,” the CDE report states. The CDE’s corrective actions are that by Sept. 15, the district shall submit evidence that it made reasonable efforts to identify all pupils and guardians who paid a transportation fee. By Oct. 15, the district must submit evidence it has made reasonable efforts to fully reimburse all pupils that have been identified. One item in Gumb’s initial complaint the district has yet to address is the use of school batting cages by outside entities related to an agreement with the foundation. Over the summer, Gumb continued to observe use of
facility was being used by nonprofits instead of revenue-generating groups,” Huth said. “And when they tried to get more information, it wasn’t forthcoming.” The city’s objection isn’t with nonprofits using the center, but rather that Vergne and Rogers were waiving fees for events that should have been charged, which the city did not know until Vergne told the investigator, Huth said. “What was told to me was that Pat said he had carte blanche to charge whatever fee he wanted to. No employee, including me, would have that authority,” he said. “I wasn’t aware of it, nor was any of the staff that I talked to. And I’m even more worried when someone says it’s been going on for 17 years. We’re talking about a huge amount of taxpayer money that’s been diverted.” Councilwoman Sherryl Parks, a 40-year resident who considers Vergne a friend, is unconvinced by the claim that waiving rental fees generated that much revenue for the city. “That’s all speculation, and he didn’t have the authority to veer off of what the policy was,” Parks said. “We don’t know how much money he raised — and besides, we can’t do business that way. It wouldn’t be fair to others who are being charged the $3,500.” Vergne also contests the allegation that the $43,000 in overtime for Rogers was improperly charged. “The total amount of overtime over the last three years has been completely transparent and known to the City Manager as well as the finance department of Del Mar through time cards and time records,” according to his statement. Huth countered that the finance department did raise questions about excessive overtime prior to the investigation, and was met with the response that Rogers was working special events after hours. When the city looked at the events calendar, those claims didn’t line up, Huth said. “It’s pretty clear from the investigation that there’s question as to whether or not that employee was even working 40 hours a week, let alone working overtime,” Huth said. “Pat acknowledged to the investigator that he didn’t oversee it as well as he should have.”
the batting cage by a walk-on TPHS baseball coach and another local baseball organization affiliated with the TPHS coaching staff. Gumb said she believes the practice is illegal and should not be allowed to continue. The district has stated it will take appropriate actions to ensure that all facilities uses are in accordance with board policy and the batting cage agreement is expected to be addressed by the board at a future meeting. Since concluding its investigation, district officials have worked closely with administrators and foundation staff to ensure requests for voluntary donations continue to comply with the law. It recently held two trainings with legal counsel, staff, and parent organization representatives, and will schedule additional training once the school year begins. “Our parents want the best for their kids and the Torrey Pines High School Foundation helps make that happen,” TPHS Foundation Executive Director Nicole Baril said in a release. “We couldn’t be happier with this affirmation from CDE. We hope we can put this controversy behind us and get back to focusing on providing what is in the best interests of our students.”
The third allegation is that Vergne and Rogers allowed a part-time employee to bill $23,000 as an outside contractor for cleaning and waxing Powerhouse’s floors. Vergne’s statement says it was necessary because the city does not have that equipment. “He worked for the flooring company when he was not working for or being paid by the City of Del Mar and was paid for that second job accordingly,” according to Vergne’s statement. But Huth said city policy prohibits contract work for any city employee, and the investigation raises questions as to whether it was a deliberate attempt to side-step the city’s limit on how many hours a part-time employee can work. “The company that they were contracting with, from our finance department’s perspective, looks like a legitimate contractor to us. That company then subcontracted out to the employee,” Huth said. “That wasn’t apparent to us on the bill. There’s no way for someone to know that. The investigation only stumbled onto that when they were looking at something completely different.” The final allegation focuses on $4,500 charged to a city credit card. Vergne says the credit card was used for equipment used by lifeguards and other city staff, all of which has been tracked with monthly receipts submitted over the past 10 years. However, the city’s findings claim Rogers used the card to buy swimsuits, wetsuits and a bicycle worth more than $1,000 that she used to get to and from work. Vergne then approved the purchases into budgets for the lifeguard department and the parking enforcement budget, Huth said. “None of the feedback that we got is valid,” Huth said. “The person is not a lifeguard and is not a part of parking enforcement.” The city’s investigation unleashed an outpouring of disbelief and outrage among longtime residents who angrily called for Vergne’s reinstatement at several city council meetings, heralding his compassion and his devotion to Del Mar that started when he became a lifeguard as a teenager and grew over his 17 years as director of community services. A flood of letters, emails and threads on social media is strewn with
admiration for his attentive care in working with children and his tireless work to keep Del Mar’s beach safe. As the investigation dragged into July, his supporters blasted the city for taking on the costs of hiring an outside investigator and for paying employees for months of work. Huth says the city had no choice. “He was very specifically interfering with the investigation, multiple times. So we put him on leave and told him to stay home, and even at home he was still interfering,” Huth said. “It was a situation where the city was then exposed to liability because we have whistleblower protections. Here we had a manager who was clearly trying to suppress information. It was a real problem.” The city council discussed the investigation — as well as a counter-complaint filed by Vergne accusing Huth of harassment — in more than a half dozen closed sessions over the past two months. That culminated in an Aug. 22 closed session in which the council unanimously agreed with the firings and that Vergne’s counter-complaint lacked merit. Councilmembers were given a 200-page executive summary and will be able to review the full 1,700-page report next week, Parks said. She has been pained by the process but is resolute that the city took the necessary steps. “He’s terrifically popular, and I myself am very fond of him,” she said. “I know he will be missed. The hardest day of my time on the council was to see a good friend like Pat being called up like this. But we have a hat to wear on the council to move the city forward.” The other four councilmembers did not respond to a request for comment by press time. The city will be posting a bulk of its findings on the city website in response to a pair of public records requests that have been filed, Huth said. The extent and timing is not yet clear. “Purchases and permits are public record, also a fair amount of the emails,” he said. “But I know that it won’t be everything because there are witnesses that we need to protect.”

FROM CV CRIME, A2 compared to the same stretch in 2016. “While crime is down overall there is the perception of an uptick in a couple of neighborhoods,” said Steven Hadley, a representative for Councilmember Barbara Bry. Hadley said Bry has received calls from many Carmel Valley residents and has asked the San Diego Police Department to bring in more officers, which will be a decision made by the police chief and the command. Hadley said anytime a resident’s home is burglarized it is “traumatic” and the police take it very seriously, as does Councilmember Bry. Philips said the perception that there is
FROM RENTALS, A2 needed, but the city will require registration into a database of all STR activity. Advertising short-term rentals without registering would be prohibited. The draft amendments also include a stipulation that rooms can be rented out short-term only if the home is the owner’s primary residence. Occupancy in STRs would generally be limited to two people per bedroom. The number of cars brought by STR guests would not be allowed to exceed the home’s number of off-street parking spaces. Seasonal rentals — defined as a single rental lasting more than 30 days — will not be affected in any way. Vacation rentals date back to Del Mar’s origins, but the issue has flared over the past decade as websites such as
an increase of crime is due to the use of technology and social media sites, both a “blessing and a curse.” As of a few years ago, there were no neighborhood Facebook groups or Nextdoor groups. Now, thanks to social media, Philips said people are more aware of every incident that occurs in their community. “If a house was burglarized in your neighborhood you might not have known — now if someone comes to knock on your door, it’s on Nextdoor,” Philips said. “The crime has always been there, it’s just now everybody knows about it.” Philips said the Northwestern Division has decided to reach out to the news more and sent out press releases on the
two recent home burglaries as they had great video footage. The increased attention has paid off as the department is reviewing 170 emails they have received from the releases. One of the challenges the division faces is that it is a very large division — they are responsible for patrolling 41.6 square miles from Via de la Valle to Miramar, from the beach out to 4S Ranch with just four officers. Philips said it is a difficult task and the police department needs the community’s help: “If you see something, say something”.

AirBnB and VRBO brought vacationers to Del Mar neighborhoods with unprecedented frequency. STR owners have bitterly contested the city’s measures, and one group of residents filed suit in state court on the grounds that the city cannot restrict access to coastal areas. The group, known as the Del Mar Alliance for the Preservation of Beach Access and Village, wants the city to impose a transient tax and to not limit the number of days a home can be rented. “Del Mar’s draft ordinances clearly violate the Coastal Act and deprive access to the beach and village that vacationing families have enjoyed for decades,” Cory Briggs, the Alliance’s attorney, wrote in an email. “This is the same city that used to barricade the streets leading to the beach and post sentries so that only drivers with
restricted resident passes could pass through during the July 4th holiday. Now they are trying to effectively barricade vacationing families from the entire city for almost the entire year since Del Mar’s six hotels with only 355 rooms are sold out for most weekends and nightly rates skyrocket to an average of over $350 during the summer.” The city’s timeline expects the California Coastal Commission to review its STR policy by the end of this year. The city council would take a few months to incorporate the Coastal Commission’s comments, then enact the STR policy. Until the new framework is enacted, the terms of a city’s moratorium remain in place: only STRs that can prove they were active prior to April 2016 can continue to book guests.
FROM WATER, A6 access to clean and safe drinking water. “We think this is an incredible opportunity to advance human rights for all Californians,” said Jenny Rempel, director of education and engagement with the Community Water Center, a nonprofit based in Visalia. “SB 623 is vitally needed.” Drinking water in communities across the state is contaminated with arsenic, nitrates and other toxins, said Rempel, although California’s Central Valley is disproportionately affected. “This is a health crisis,” Rempel said. “This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution.” According to the language in SB 623 as currently drafted, money from the fund would be used for grants, loans, contracts or services for projects related to the provision of safe and affordable drinking water. The bill would also provide emergency water supplies and money for operation and maintenance of water treatment facilities, Rempel said.
But Farrel said his agency is concerned the relatively modest water fee might be only the start. In the future, he said, the water fund could be seen as a source of money for additional purposes, and the fees increased. The old adage about the camel’s nose under the tent is appropriate, Farrel said. “This (water fee) is the camel’s nose. We don’t want the rest of the camel under the tent.” The bill is opposed in its present form by the Association of California Water Agencies, and supported by a broad coalition of groups, Rempel said. Because SB 623 includes a new fee on California residents and businesses, it must be passed by a two-thirds vote in the Legislature. The bill was approved by the state Senate, and is now being considered by the Assembly Appropriations Committee. The bill would have to be approved by both houses of the Legislature by Sept.15 to become law during the Legislature’s 2017 session, officials said. It would also need the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown.

responsible for. Parent Beth Westburg also recently questioned the district board about Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s “Guide to Suggested Donations,” which asked parents to consider a $180 donation to help fund the school’s academic needs this school year along with listed suggested donations for specific programs such as robotics to dance. “A reasonable person would conclude from this flyer that one must pay to participate,” wrote Westburg. Bilbeisi said that in many cases there is a quick fix — such as using the word “voluntary” for donations instead of “suggested.” Donation requests should avoid using the word “fee,” he said, also suggesting that groups avoid presenting parents with anything that looks like a bill or invoice and instead encouraging voluntary participation in fundraising. Bilbeisi said fundraising always needs a disclaimer: “This is not required for your student to participate in this activity.” Bilbeisi said in their request for donations, groups can state the consequences if a person does not donate to a team or program but he tends to discourage that — “Nothing prohibits it by law but I don’t think it’s a best practice,” Bilbeisi said.
Last season, Dill said the district investigation found an email that did cross that line — an email from the Torrey Pines volleyball team requesting funds for transportation stated “If you don’t pay the fee you can’t ride the bus. 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.” In that case, Dill said the district is offering refunds to those who felt the fee was mandatory. “The district has to be transparent to the public to keep and retain their trust,” said SDUHSD board member Mo Muir, who attended the Aug. 24 meeting. "The district is responding to foundation inquiries by being transparent and having training workshops on fundraising to make sure every aspect of our district from foundation leadership, coaches, staff and PTAs are all aware of the laws and follow them.” To further discuss the issue, the SDUHSD board’s Sept. 14 meeting will have an item on the agenda regarding foundations and donations. Bilbeisi’s presentation offered an overview of pupil fees, charging a fee to a student as a condition for participation in a class or extracurricular activity. An ACLU investigation in 2010
revealed that school districts across the state were illegally charging students for extracurricular activities and for textbooks and materials. Dill said before 2004, SDUHSD was doing a lot of those things and they did a thorough job with reviewing and correcting the district’s curricular piece. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) filed suit against California to stop illegal practices and protect equal access to education and in response to the ACLU suit, Assembly Bill 1575 was passed in 2012. Bilbeisi said the bill essentially codified what was already the law regarding fees, although the law is still largely undeveloped and uncertain — it states no student is required to pay for “participation in an educational activity,” which essentially everything falls under. The law states schools can’t require students to make payments to obtain a lock, locker, book, class apparatus, musical instrument, uniform or “other materials or equipment.” A fee waiver policy shall not make a pupil fee permissible. Schools cannot require students to make a purchase needed for an educational activity (such as a supplemental textbook or supplies) and all supplies and equipment needed to participate in a school activity must be provided free of charge. Athletic directors at the meeting
wondered how far does it go: Would they have to provide track spikes? Field hockey sticks? Socks? Would the district be liable for a school-provided football helmet in the case of an injury? Bilbeisi said the law is “murky” but the district does need to provide all supplies free of charge. The intent is to not create a “two-tier” educational system by offering a higher educational experience for students with better means. One cheer parent said that can be difficult as these programs do cost money — in the cheer team’s case, it costs about $1,500 per member, if 10 kids chose not to donate, who gets the bill? Dill said the district would be required to cover that cost. SDUHSD board member John Salazar said he has been bothered by the perception that students don’t go out for certain sports because they cannot afford it. He would like to see posters on every campus that read: “Come out for sports, it’s free, we don’t want your money.” Some booster parents said that culture already exists, that parents do understand what it costs to run the program and are happy to contribute if they can. One Canyon Crest Academy parent said the soccer team has a “suggested” $500 donation but she said she knew families who said their children played for four years
and they never donated a dime. Another thing the law gives parents is the option to use the Williams Uniform Complaint process to apply for reimbursement for previously charged fees. The district is required to provide a 60-day turnaround for any complaint and complete an investigation — the parent can also appeal to the California Department of Education. The law does not prohibit soliciting voluntary donations but it does prohibit course credit or privileges in exchange for donations. “Recognition is OK as long as they are not getting specific privileges,” Bilbeisi said. Dill said they have seen some fundraising tactics regarding recognition that are not best practice — such as a list of names with those who have yet to donate. And despite the allegations of “pay for play,” Dill reiterated that athletic coaches do not receive a list of who has and has not donated, nor do they want to. Some boosters in attendance said that it is important for them to be able to recognize those parents who have given above and beyond so that all kids can participate. “We have great parents that support the schools,” Muir said. “We so appreciate their time and monetary contributions. We can never thank them enough.”

FROM JOEY, A7 researchers to finish and find a cure,” Liu said. Liu started Joey’s Wings in her son’s memory and she has kept busy. Joey’s Wings is working with the UT Southwestern Medical Center’s kidney cancer program, considered number one in the world — Joey’s Wings donated $100,000 to the lab, which was able to hire a full-time researcher to study the cancer. Joey’s Wings also funds massage therapy for patients at Shands Children’s Hospital, which she would also like to do for Rady Children’s Hospital. Personally, Liu volunteers every month at the Ronald McDonald House, cooking for the families. In Washington, DC, Liu joins fellow childhood cancer advocates to lobby for increased funding — one of the greatest challenges of pediatric cancer research has been a lack of access to new treatments for children. One of Liu’s strongest fights with Joey was for compassionate use, a way for patients to try new drugs that have not yet been approved. With Joey, she petitioned drug companies for the use of a new immunotherapy drug that targeted the type of tumor Joey had. One of the drugs had been successful in adult cancer trials but pediatric trials had been delayed. Liu argued to get

The FDA approved the drug Keytruda on Sept. 4 for off-label use and an oncologist in Cincinnati agreed to try the drug with Joey. By October, after the first
injection, his tumor was still growing but he showed no major side effects. After a second injection, all tumors stopped and those in his neck shrank significantly. However, at that point, Joey’s tiny body had weakened and his kidney stopped working.
Free rides for San Diego veterans through Dec. 31 Facilitating Access to Coordinated Transportation (FACT), a San Diego County nonprofit, announces a free transportation promotion specifically for San Diego veterans. From Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, veterans will be able to schedule free transportation on RideFACT, a transportation service operated by FACT, anywhere within urban and suburban San Diego County. In addition to meeting the current needs of veterans for rides, FACT hopes to get a better understanding of the mobility needs and potential demand for transportation in the San Diego veterans’ community. During this four-month period, all San Diego County veterans will be able to reserve one free round trip per week, for any purpose, anywhere within the RideFACT service area. Rides may be requested one to seven days ahead of the travel date. There is no registration or qualification process for this service, nor age or income criteria. Reservations may be made over the telephone and the process takes only a few minutes. Companions that are not Veterans may be accommodated on a space available basis. There is no lengthy application or wait time for using RideFACT transportation. Regular one-way fares on RideFACT transportation begin at $2.50 for travel up to five miles and are no more than $10 for trips longer than 20 miles within the boundaries of San Diego County. Rides are available between 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. A reservation may be requested one to seven days in advance, weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. by calling 760-754-1252 or (Toll Free) 1-888-924-3228. RideFACT is funded by a mix of funds including the County’s TransNet, USDOT’s New Freedom, and California’s Transportation Development Act grants. Visit www.factsd.org
“If he could’ve gotten it sooner, it could’ve given him more time,” said Liu, who now works to assist parents in petitioning for compassionate use of drugs as it is a very “daunting” process. “Only three drugs have been approved for childhood cancer in 50 years. Most have no hope because there’s just not drugs for children and a lot of patients need compassionate use.” She is happy to see positive steps forward as on Aug. 17, the RACE for Children Act became law. Under RACE for Children, companies developing cancer drugs are required to develop drugs for children when the molecular targets are relevant to childhood cancers. Additionally, RACE will result in more research dollars going to pediatric cancer clinical research. “This is huge,” Liu said of lobbying efforts making an impact. “I will keep lobbying every year.” She plans to return to Washington, DC next year despite the fact that her life just got a whole lot busier: She recently accepted a full-time teaching job in the San Diego Unified School District, teaching Mandarin immersion classes at Barnard Asian Pacific Language Academy. Liu continues to fold and her efforts with Cranes for a Cure inspire others around the world, who send boxes and boxes of paper cranes, recently one even came from Australia. “There are so many touching stories,” she said, noting one boy sent her 3,000 cranes he made after he lost his dog in a car accident. He had seen one of Liu’s cranes at the post office, where Liu had given one to a postal worker who had been going through chemotherapy. Along with the 3,000 cranes the boy had sent a note: “Losing my dog was very sad, I cannot imagine losing a child.” Liu lives with that loss every day and every day she works to spread awareness, folding her cranes, finishing Joey’s painting, working for change and a cure. “I feel the cranes bring healing and peace,” Liu said. “By doing this, I feel more at peace and feel the spirit of Joey. That’s the inspiration of how I keep doing this.” For more information, visit www.joeywings.org and thinkplaycreate.org
FROM EARL WARREN, A1 edge without changing who we are and what we stand for. Our academics, our arts, athletic performance and student outcomes are the envy of school districts throughout this region and throughout the state and we get better every year. That’s our legacy. “This has been our tradition since 1954 when this school was opened and it’s going to continue on Tuesday when kids walk through those gates for the very first time.” Many excited Earl Warren staff members were there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside many special guests, including Senator Toni Atkins, Assemblyman Todd Gloria, former Senator Dede Alpert, former SDUSHD superintendent Bill Berrier and board member Barbara Groth, the superintendents from neighboring elementary school districts and representatives from the city of Solana Beach and the Friends of the Solana Beach Library. One of the most unique guests was former Earl Warren teacher Jay Williams, who was attending his second Earl Warren ribbon cutting. Williams, who started as a teacher at San Dieguito High School in 1951, taught at Earl Warren from 1954 to 1982. SDUHSD President Amy Herman thanked the district families and community — the new Earl Warren campus and many other district projects would not have been possible without their support for the $449 million general obligation bond Proposition AA that passed in 2012. “This beautiful new campus demonstrates what a community can accomplish when it comes together to support its public schools,” Herman said. Senator Atkins and Assemblyman Gloria both complimented the community and its taxpayers for making the investment in their schools and understanding the importance of educating young people and preparing them for the next steps in the world. Adam Camacho, who served as principal of Earl Warren during its transition period on the interim campus, thanked the construction and design team for allowing so much input to ensure that the school didn’t lose the special identity it held for those 61 years. Craig Swenson from McCarthy Construction said it was “an absolute joy” to be involved in the school’s transformation and to build a high-quality learning environment for student success. Laura Knauss, an architect with Lionakis, said in her 30-year career as a school architect, only a handful of these kinds of projects come around. She thanked the district for the opportunity to design a safe, sustainable school that spoke both the language of the educators and the spirit of the community. New Earl Warren Principal Reno Medina said he is still pinching himself over the fact that he has returned to lead Earl Warren — he was an assistant principal at the school before leaving for La Costa Canyon High School in 2015. “Earl Warren Middle School is truly family,” said Medina, noting that the vision and theme for the upcoming school year is centered around building connections and enriching the culture while incorporating the dynamics of a whole new school. “Now that we have a dynamic combination of a state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facility and an amazing educational community, I can’t wait to soar like Seahawks and take Earl Warren Middle School to the next level.” Assemblymember Gloria, who was a history major in college, offered some words about the school’s namesake Earl Warren, the former California governor and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. “Earl Warren has the distinction of being the only governor nominated by both the Democratic and Republican parties,” Gloria said. “I think that his legacy of activism, of justice, of equality, of unflinching integrity and courage are skills and characteristics that are worthy of our children. I hope that this new school helps to really breathe life into that legacy and transfer those skills onto our young people.”

The festival will also include works from visual artists, food from craft vendors and more experiences. Jason Felts, chief brand and marketing officer of KAABOO, who now lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Del Mar, answered questions about the festival’s past, present and future. For more information about the festival, visit kaaboodelmar.com.
What are you looking forward to most this year at KAABOO?
Bask [Day Club]! I love our differentiated concept of having a Vegas-style day club onsite at KAABOO near the Grandview Stage. This is such a fun party zone. It offers views of the stage while hanging out poolside. I think it’s an amazing way to wrap up the summer with friends.
Is there anything new or different this year that fans can be excited about?
La Jolla Cultural Partners
We have relocated a few of the stages to improve the onsite traffic flow to allow guests to move around more freely. We’ve added a new experience called Club Elevate, a late-night dance club. This experience will include live DJs and the option to purchase

table seating with bottle service. And, we have added additional infrastructure to our rideshare area. By partnering with Uber, we are ensuring a seamless experience this year for our guests when arriving and departing.
Do you have any favorite memories of KAABOO?
My favorite KAABOO memory so far was watching Jimmy Buffett hanging out in the crowd as just another guest dancing and enjoying the music of another band performing. I found it so flattering that one of our headlining artists decided to come back the day after he performed to enjoy the KAABOO experience himself as a guest.
How would you say KAABOO has evolved over the years?

bathrooms. We had record-breaking Uber use last year and are excited to be offering an expanded footprint for an improved experience.
KAABOO will continue to change and get even better each year as we refine our special formula for our world-class event. This year, one of the biggest changes is moving the Grandview Stage into the east parking lot. We have also taken steps to improve our guest experience by offering new cashless wristbands that will enable guests to move through our bar and food lines faster. And, we have made improvements to our rideshare program, in partnership with UBER, to provide guests with a dedicated waiting area that offers food and drinks, entertainment, and even
What attracted you to Del Mar for KAABOO years ago?
KAABOO is really shifting the paradigm for festivals. I am an avid festival-goer and I attend dozens of festivals each year. You really feel a difference when you’re at KAABOO.

Vaporvue, one of the world’s leading video-on-demand services for extreme sports, is now available through Amazon.com.
Amazon takes on extreme sports service Vaporvue BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Vaporvue, the nation’s first video-on-demand service for extreme sports, took a giant step forward last week with its inclusion into Amazon Channels, one of the world’s largest digital content platforms. Launched in 2014, Vaporvue is co-founded by Solana Beach resident Ira Opper, creator of TheSurfNetwork and a global pioneer in extreme sports filmmaking. Opper has pushed the industry’s leading edge throughout his nearly 40-year career, and now lays claim to what he says may be the largest archive of extreme-sports content in the world. The Vaporvue library includes more than 600 films, TV series, documentaries and other digital content for unlimited viewing. Its offerings go far beyond the staples of skiing, snowboarding, surfing and BMX: Vaporvue viewers have at their fingertips a wealth of high-definition content on kayaking, wingsuits, mountain-climbing and
even stand-up paddleboarding. The service is available to Amazon Prime members for $4.99 a month with a 7-day free trial. The inclusion on Amazon Channels positions Vaporvue to tap into demand for extreme sports content that has surged thanks to the addition of skateboarding, surfing and sports climbing to the 2020 Olympics. “Amazon Channels provides Vaporvue an unprecedented distribution opportunity. We are thrilled that they selected our company to deliver extreme sports movies to their Prime members,” Opper said. “The audience for high-quality extreme sports movies are passionate. It’s awesome to fuel that passion with professionally produced films that entertain, inform and enlighten.” Opper’s production company also runs Gilad TV, which focuses on fitness training and is also available thru Amazon Channels.

Moms Making Six Figures offers new type of lifestyle for its team
After years of juggling her job as a pharmaceutical representative and motherhood, oftentimes missing her two daughters’ events, Heidi Bartolotta decided she needed to take more control of her own life. The San Diego mother founded Moms Making Six Figures nearly nine years ago after a “major life event with a family member.” “I think it just made me realize that choosing to prioritize my life over our financial life was not what I wanted to do,” she said. “For most people, it takes something major like missing children’s events over and over again, or having your child look at you and say they know the nanny more than they know you.” The nationwide company allows women and men to work from home in the marketing field, on their own time, so they can accommodate both their families and their work lives. The business — which has about 300 independent contractors across the country — does marketing for a U.S.-based manufacturer of more than 500 consumer products sold online. Bartolotta could not name her client due to legal reasons, though she said the high-quality wellness items are a great value and include healthy snacks, nutritional goods and safer cleaning

products. Team members do not have to be parents, but do have to be at a point in their lives where they are ready to make changes, Bartolotta said. Most of the contractors start off balancing Moms Making Six Figures with an already-existing job before making the transition, she said. “I think when you do something and you’re successful at it, it’s hard to imagine yourself somewhere else,” she said. “It’s hard to take that leap to do something you might fail at. For a lot of people that do it, you just get to a breaking point where you just can’t do this anymore. Something has to give.”
She said while those on the team could make six-figure incomes or more, it all depends on how much work they put in. She always recommends to newcomers that they should spend at least five to 10 hours a week on the work to see results. Over the years, she has witnessed many of these parents who once had stressful careers, become happier and calmer. The company is looking to bring on more people, she said. Those interested should visit momsmakingsixfigures.com and fill out the contact form. — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

The Nutty Professor: Back-to-School Eats
T
he other day I found myself in the crosshairs of a heated argument between a mom and her school-age children in the supermarket aisle of jams and nut butters, which struck a chord of déjà vu with my daughters a handful of years earlier. Both sides were stalemated over the controversial back-to-school staple — peanut butter. Although, I gathered from the dialogue that the kids did not have any peanut allergies, the mother still stood firm against the spreadable legume. Alas, they all stormed out of the market without even reaching a culinary compromise. Peanut butter sandwiches, whether paired with jellies, preserves, honey or bananas, have been the favorite, iconic, rib-sticking American lunch for generations. Over the past few years an increasing (and alarming) number of deadly peanut allergies, particularly among children have emerged, making the legume persona non grata at schools since the mere inhaling of the aromatic oil and airborne peanut dust have been found to trigger a reaction. Researchers from Australia claim to have made a major breakthrough in a peanut allergy cure with a trial study using an oral probiotic peanut immunotherapy for
children. These kids who were previously peanut allergic or sensitive were able to tolerate peanuts after several months of treatment. Allergies aside, the conventional peanut crop carries a heavy pesticide load. Even organically grown peanuts are vulnerable to the formation of a carcinogenic mold called aflatoxin that forms on the legume both preand post-harvesting. So we can see why the mom at the market was adamant about throwing peanut butter under the school bus. If the tiny taste buds in your household insist on peanut butter, there’s a quick fix. Simply blend a few drops of natural, and where possible, organic peanut-flavored extract (that does not contain any legume or tree nut substances) into a neutral-flavored nut or seed butter like tahini, and you have created a healthier mock peanut butter version without offensive allergens, molds or pesticides. Tahini is a smooth and creamy paste from pulverized sesame seeds, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, that also resembles peanut butter in texture, taste and color. These petite precious seeds are blessed with a load of protein (5 grams per ounce), amino acids and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, including copper, magnesium,
calcium, folate, zinc, iron, Vitamin B6 and phosphorous, translating to more than a dozen health benefits, including amping up blood, bone, heart, respiratory and digestive health, and warding off Type 2 diabetes. Almond butter is another Herculean peanut butter substitute, delicately flavored, whether crunchy or smooth, containing monounsaturated “friendly” fats, and a rich store of protein, fiber and phytonutrients, such as, bone building magnesium and calcium, antioxidant, immune enhancing alpha-tocopherol, cell regenerating Vitamin E’s, and nerve calming, energy enhancing B’s. In Japan teens have a yen for a high protein and calcium concoction of dried sardines and slivered almonds, while in India almonds are considered “brain food” for developing children. Yet walnuts that coincidentally resemble miniature hemispheres of the brain are loaded with plant-based omega-3’s, aka alpha-linolenic acid that increase cognitive functioning similar to those from animal sources by keeping the brain lubricated and lively. Soporific walnuts also bolster melatonin levels, one of the sleep regulating hormones. So munch a cracker or biscuit slathered with some scrumptious walnut butter (see recipe) before bedtime for some quality zzz’s, making us all well rested and alert in the morning. Or spread some silky, nutrient rich seed butters, whether pumpkin (pepita) or sunflower with loads of protein, heart-healthy fatty acids, iron and zinc on a whole wheat or multi-grain bagel, tortilla, baguette or slice of thick-cut bread. Since pepitas are low in allergens they have a wide range of appeal (and tolerance).
BEAT THE HEAT WITH
Walnut Butter ■ Ingredients: 2 cups of raw, organic walnuts; 2 teaspoons of nut oil (walnut, almond), or avocado or coconut oil; 1 tablespoon of creamy, raw honey; pink salt to taste; a few drops of vanilla extract (optional). ■ Method: Add ingredients to blender or food processor, and blend to desired consistency. Chill in an airtight mason jar until ready to enjoy. Spread on bread of choice with organic fruit preserves, and cut out fun shapes with cookie cutters, fill the hollows of crisp celery sticks, or use as a dipping paste for cut apples, carrot sticks or other favorite treats. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Teen Volunteers in Action, SD-2 hosts kick-off event
T
een Volunteers in Action, SD-2 (TVIA) held its kick-off event for the coming year Aug. 27 at Canyon Crest Academy. The three participating philanthropies at the event were: Station one: Paul Wright, president of Speed to Burn, who instructed and developed fun activities geared towards athletic training for all participants. Station two: Hygiene kits were assembled for St. Vincent De Paul, which is Southern California largest residential homeless services provider and has been providing innovative
programs and services since 1950. Station three: Solana Center for Environmental Innovation composted and optimized a natural process that converts food and yard waste into nutrients-rich, water retaining soil which promotes healthy soil. Teen Volunteers in Action is “an organization of young men who, together with their families, are committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal development,” according to its website.

Savor the sights, sounds and aromas 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon gets ready to make a splash at Cardiff Greek Festival Sept. 9-10 Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church welcomes the San Diego community to experience Hellenic cuisine, entertainment and hospitality during the 39th Annual Cardiff Greek Festival on Sept. 9 and 10. Under its iconic gold dome, the church grounds will once again be transformed with the sights, sounds and aromas of Greece. “We look forward to sharing Greece’s rich history and tradition with the community every year through the festival’s food, music and dance,” said Rev. Father Michael Sitaras, Pastor of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. “The spirit of Greece is alive in us. Let us share it with you!” For a $3 admission (children under 12, active military, police and firefighters with ID are free), festival attendees will be transported into a quaint Greek village, serenaded by a variety of live entertainers on three stages throughout the weekend, including renowned Southern California Greek band The Olympians. The parish’s youngest members – ages 5 through high school – will perform folk dances in traditional costumes. You’ll have the opportunity to put your best fancy footwork forward and shout “Opa!” with guided dance instruction. Delicacies will be available, such as souvlaki (shish-kabobs), Greek-style roasted lamb and chicken, pastitsio (baked layers of macaroni, seasoned meat, cheese and béchamel sauce), moussaka, loukaniko (sausage), dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves), and gyros. Vegetarian fare includes tiropitas (cheese triangles in filo),
spanakopita (spinach pie), mezethes (appetizers), and Greek salad. The Kafenio (café) boasts mouth-watering desserts and coffee. Father Sitaras will host tours of the church and enlighten guests about the mosaics, iconography and Byzantine architecture. “What many visitors don’t realize is that our gold dome is just as magnificent on the inside as it is on the outside. I love that moment of stunned wonderment when guests first see the intricacy of the Byzantine artwork.” An open marketplace will typify a traditional bazaar featuring Greek imports, pottery, fine jewelry, artwork, a Greek deli, cooking demonstrations, and an array of other treasures. The Kids Fun Zone with games will ensure children enjoy their time as much as the adults. You can even take a free photo with The San Diego Padres mascot Swinging Friar and the Pad Squad at the photo booth from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. both days. A chance to win a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA or $25,000 will keep the festival’s excitement going until the very end. The Cardiff Greek Festival will be celebrated Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the grounds of Saints Constantine and Helen, 3459 Manchester Avenue, a half mile east of I-5 at the Manchester exit in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Free parking is available at the adjacent Mira Costa College. For more information, visit www.cardiffgreekfest.com.
With summertime nearing its close, west-coast canines wouldn’t dream of missing the singular event of the beach season – Helen Woodward Animal Center’s 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon, held at Dog Beach in Del Mar Sunday, Sept. 10, from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. The event is presented by Blue Buffalo. Surfing canines love this dog surf-competition in particular because it’s the only local one-of-its-kind with 100 percent of the proceeds going towards helping orphan pets. The phenomenal success of the once-humble dog surfing competition that had its start at Helen Woodward Animal Center has turned “dogs on surfboards” into a platform to raise life-saving funds and remind the world that “man’s best friend” can do phenomenal things. Helen Woodward Animal Center’s canine surf contest is the longest-running one of its kind in the country and will feature up to 80 dogs surfing in four different weight class competitions. Keeping their eyes on the prize, “Top Surf Dog 2017” hopefuls have attended recent Center Surf Dog classes with tail-wagging enthusiasm in hopes of grabbing the coveted title on the big day. Dogs, with help from their human parents, will participate in 10-minute heats based on weight class. Each dog is judged on their ability to ride the waves, stay on the board, and have lots of fun. First, second, and third place winners will be awarded for each weight class and the first place winners will move ahead to the finals – Best-In-Surf. Each surFUR heat will be judged by celebrities, surf pros, and aficionados.
Dog surf-activities will also feature a separate, freestyle surf contest where points will be awarded for creativity! Dogs can surf on the same board as their friends, or favorite human. Tandem rides, and costumes are all encouraged to catch the public and the judges' eyes. Other dog-and-family friendly activities scheduled at the 12th Annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon include the Surf Dog Hall-of-Fame Induction Ceremony, and live beach tunes, as well as regular event favorites including the pup-ular Canine Costume Contest, 50 interactive vendor booths with great gifts, snacks and dog items available for purchase, opportunity drawings, and a free special Kids’ Activity area – with crafts, face painting, games and more. The event has a lot to celebrate in its 12th year as supporters, sponsors and families of individual canine athletes have called “all paws on deck” in an incredible push for participation and fundraising, which to-date has already raised thousands. Pooches who are “paw-ing it forward” by raising funds have a very special goal in mind. In addition to the satisfaction of knowing they’ve helped orphan pets in need, the top-winning fundraiser will receive a special surf-photoshoot with their picture featured on the 2018 Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon billboard, seen by thousands throughout San Diego.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

City of Del Mar NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF A ZONE CODE AMENDMENT ZA-17-001/ LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT LCPA-17-002 TO AMEND THE DEL MAR MUNICIPAL CODE AND LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF SHORT TERM RENTALS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the CITY OF DEL MAR, will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, the 12th of September, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Hall, Temporary Council Chambers, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. Suite 100, Del Mar, California, where the Planning Commission will consider whether to adopt a Resolution to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding proposed amendments to the Del Mar Municipal Code and certified Local Coastal Program to establish regulations for short term rental of a dwelling unit. Lead Agency: City of Del Mar Project Location: Citywide Project Description: This is a request for a recommendation by the Planning Commission to the City Council regarding amendments to the Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) and Local Coastal Program relating to short term rentals. The proposed amendments to DMMC Title 30 (Zoning) and Title 5 (Business Licenses) will create new zoning code definitions and regulations that clarify permitted accessory uses of a dwelling unit in residential zones; clarify permitted uses in the residential commercial zone (RC) and CC, NC, PC, and VC commercial zones; and require registry for specified short term commercial activity (exempt from a business license) in residential zones. An Initial Study/Environmental Checklist was prepared on August 17, 2017, and concluded that the proposed code amendments would not have a significant effect on the environment. The regulations involve a negligible or no expansion of existing use and do not authorize or facilitate any construction or grading to occur. Staff determined that the proposed ordinance is categorically exempt from preparation of an environmental document pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Article 19, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures). A draft of the proposed Zone Code Amendment/Local Coastal Program Amendment is available for public review. Contact Amanda Lee, Senior Planner at (858) 755-9313 or visit 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Suite 120, Del Mar, CA 92014 to review the draft. Introduction and adoption of the Ordinance will be considered by the City Council in future noticed public hearings, which will provide additional opportunities for the public to review and comment. DM 5143984 8/31/2017 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING OF A ZONE CODE AMENDMENT ZA-16-010/ LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM AMENDMENT LCPA-16-004 INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE DEL MAR MUNICIPAL CODE AND LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the CITY OF DEL MAR, will hold a public hearing on Monday, the 18th of September, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Hall, Temporary Council Chambers, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd. Suite 100, Del Mar, California, where the City Council will consider whether to introduce an Ordinance amending the Del Mar Municipal Code and certified Local Coastal Program to establish local regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units consistent with state law and to repeal the City’s outdated Second Dwelling Unit regulations. Lead Agency: City of Del Mar Project Location: Citywide Project Description: The proposed
Project Description: The proposed amendments to the Del Mar Municipal Code (DMMC) and Local Coastal Program would create a new DMMC Chapter 30.91 and amend related zoning code sections to implement state law (SB 1069, AB 2299, and AB 2406) by establishing new local standards and procedures for approval of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JrADUs). The outdated Second Dwelling Unit regulations in DMMC Chapter 30 would be repealed. On August 8, 2017, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval to the City Council. As set forth in Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code, the proposed regulations are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h), which exempts adoption of an Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance applicable in single dwelling unit and multiple dwelling unit residential zones to implement the provisions of Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 of the Government Code. The provisions in the Ordinance relating to JrADUs, which are located entirely within an existing structure and involve negligible or no expansion of use, are exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities).

FROM KABOO, B2 believe the residents of Del Mar and all of San Diego appreciate.
Why does Del Mar continue to be the ideal place for KAABOO?
The Del Mar Fairgrounds is a great partner and the venue lends itself to our vision. With the infrastructure in place and a staff and management team at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that share our vision for creating a world-class live music event, it is an ideal location.
FROM DEL MAR, B4 • Tacotopia at The Track — Sunday, Sept. 3, attendees will get the opportunity to search for the best taco in SoCal at the inaugural Tacotopia. From 1-4 p.m., there will be live music and over 40 vendors serving up amazing tacos.

All concerts are 18+. • Family Weekends — Saturday and Sunday, September 2-3, families will join the party in the infield with a variety of free
What do you envision for the festival’s future?
We look forward to having a long-term relationship with this venue. Each year, we will continue to spread the word about the uniqueness of KAABOO and beauty of the area by inviting guests, both local and worldwide, to enjoy our three-day event. KAABOO Del Mar will always be our flagship venue and we are proud to call San Diego/Del Mar our home.
What would you say sets KAABOO apart from other activities including pony rides, face painting and an obstacle course. Children receive free racetrack admission and adults can experience the fun for only $6. •Taste Of The Turf Club — Sunday, Sept. 3, fans feeling like VIPs can enjoy the mouthwatering cuisine of one of San Diego’s most celebrated chefs, Brian Malarkey, at the exclusive Turf Club.

music festivals?
Our lineup is very diverse and arguably more diverse than any other festival. KAABOO truly appears to a more mature demographic. We often have multiple generations enjoying the event together. Also, KAABOO’s art program is another substantial differentiator. Our art program is more robust than most festivals with both the large-scale onsite murals and the full contemporary art exhibition inside ARTWORK. One other major differentiator is all of the experiences on-site – KAABOO is truly more than just music. Our comedy
experience, Humor Me, is an indoor, seated comedy club. Our Bask Day Club is comparable to a Vegas-style day club with CLUB Elevate as the nighttime equivalent. The culinary spread in PALATE is also very different. At KAABOO, we strive to have a wide assortment of gourmet food and craft libations available, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Our PALATE experience really is a mini food and beverage festival within the greater KAABOO event co-mingled within the ARTWORK experience. I am personally excited about the dessert options, as well.
