Fate of boardwalk near San Dieguito River under debate BY JOE TASH On April 7, 2007, a “mammoth work party” of 50 Del Mar Rotary Club volunteers and a few experienced contractors laid down the planks for a 1,200-footlong boardwalk at the southern edge of the Del Mar Fairgrounds property, along the San Dieguito River. “It was a sight to behold,” said Bob Fuchs, one of the Rotarians who took part in the one-day project to complete the boardwalk. The idea was to create a path where people could stroll near the adjacent wet-
lands without physically disturbing them. “We did a real credible job,” Fuchs said. Eight years later, the staff of the California Coastal Commission wants to dismantle the boardwalk and move it to another location, a recommendation opposed by a number of local entities that in the past have sparred over environmental issues, including the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds, the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, the
SB council rejects construction bids for Veterans Honor Courtyard
High School District prepares for next Prop AA draw
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although city and county officials broke ground on a courtyard that will honor past, present and future services members in November, the project has since stalled. The Solana Beach City Council rejected the project bids as part of the Jan. 14 consent calendar, a list of items approved with a single vote and no discussion, but Councilman Mike Nichols noted he was disappointed that the bids were “nearly double” what the architect’s estimate had anticipated for the project. “We were a bit surprised to receive those bids,” Nichols said. After the ceremonial groundbreaking on Veterans Day, the design team finalized plans for the project and advertised for construction bids. The city received only two bids by the deadline, one from Oceanside-based Straight Line General

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board is scheduled to make several decisions on its second Prop AA bond draw in the coming months. The district plans to issue the second bond draw of $125 million in the spring. From the first $160 million bond draw in 2013, several Prop AA projects have been completed or are in progress at all district schools: construction of Pacific Trails Middle School is under way for a fall opening in Pacific Highlands Ranch,
a bid process on the day of sale. A negotiated sale is when an underwriter is selected in advance of the day of the bond sale and is active in structuring the bonds and reviewing all the legal and financing documents. This type of sale also gives flexibility in the sale date, allowing a “fall back” option if the conditions are not favorable on the sale day. The district had success issuing the first series of bonds via a negotiated sale in 2013. Dill said the district is-
San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner recently announced that after a comprehensive community search, the hearing regarding the One Paseo development project in Carmel Valley will not be heard in the community, but will instead be heard in Council Chambers Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. “City staff made every attempt to honor the multiple requests from community members to find a location in Carmel Valley to hold the meeting. Unfortunately, due to a lack of locations in that community that meet the required criteria, such as access to public transit and multiple ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and capacity requirements, staff were unable to secure a suitable site,” Lightner stated. Lightner’s office received multiple requests from members of the Torrey Pines and Carmel Valley planning groups, as

the interim campus for Earl Warren Middle’s renovation is being built and a new weight room just opened at Torrey Pines High. At its Feb. 5 meeting, the board will determine the method of sale, negotiated or competitive, and will consider awarding a contract to an underwriter. As explained by Eric Dill, the district’s associate superintendent of business services, at the Jan. 15 meeting, a competitive sale is when an underwriter is not selected in advance and is awarded the bonds through

Del Mar Council considers creating a supplemental police force BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Del Mar officials agreed last year to try to negotiate improved law enforcement services from the county rather than create its own department, the city is once again exploring the idea of a Del Mar police force. Rather than start a standalone department as previously suggested, the Sheriff’s Sub-Committee recommended Jan. 20 that Del Mar establish a small police force to supplement the Sheriff’s efforts. “Our committee sincerely believes that the best option is to complement
our Sheriff and establish our own small police department,” said Barry Entous, a member of the Sheriff’s Sub-Committee, which stems from the Finance Committee. “We believe it’s a win-win for our city and the Sheriff.” Del Mar has contracted with the Sheriff’s Department for police services since its incorporation in 1959. Although the council renewed a five-year contract with the department in 2013, the city hired a consultant to review its contract, compare Del Mar’s law enforcement costs with other cities, and evaluate other law enforcement alternatives, such as creating a
standalone police department. The study was prompted after the Finance Committee recommended the city research other options for law enforcement because of increased contract costs and service complaints from residents. When the study revealed that a standalone department would cost more than $2 million a year and about $1 million in start-up costs, however, the council in November 2013 opted to try to improve the services the city receives from the department. Since then, Del Mar has worked with the department in an effort to imSee POLICE, page 20

Drive-thru Starbucks coming to Beachside center A drive-thru Starbucks is coming to Beachside Del Mar shopping center this spring. The new location will offer Starbucks’ traditional neighborhood coffeehouse environment in addition to from-the-car service. “We are pleased to welcome Starbucks to Beachside Del Mar,” said Russ Monroe, Donahue Schriber’s property manager for Beachside Del Mar. “As we continue to add new dining and shopping destinations, we are excited by the range of options we have for our residents and visitors.” Starbucks will be one of the two tenants occupying the former Navy Federal Credit Union building across from the Auto Club of Southern California, near CVS Pharmacy. More tenants will be announced in the weeks to come. The full-size Beachside Del Mar Starbucks store will help make mornings easier for neighbors, allowing more convenient access to their daily coffee from the seat of their car. It will also offer space for residents and visitors to get together, study or take a moment to relax. Located west of Interstate 5 on Del Mar Heights Road near Mango Drive, Beachside Del Mar is undergoing a $4 million renovation that will create an attractive, inviting village atmosphere for local residents to shop, dine and work. Quality shopping, dining and gathering amenities are planned for Beachside Del Mar without increasing the center’s size or layout. Jersey Mike’s Subs and The Broken Yolk have also been announced as new tenants.
Torrey Hills board voices concerns about One Paseo’s density BY KAREN BILLING In advance of the Feb. 23 City Council hearing on One Paseo, the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board members wanted to make sure that their voice is heard on the topic. At their Jan. 20 meeting, the board members approved sending a letter to council that details their concerns with the project’s traffic, emergency services and potentially negative impacts to Torrey Hills’ parks, shopping centers and office buildings. Torrey Hills Board Chair Kathryn Burton said the letter hits on many of the points expressed earlier, in a 2012 letter to the city. “The density of the proposed project affects Torrey Hills because our community is connected to Carmel Valley by El Camino Real and shares common facilities,” read the letter. Board member Brad Fagan said the letter states that what Kilroy wants to do is not what the community wants, but he wanted to ensure that they are asking for mixed use of an appropriate size, just not triple the 510,000 square feet that they are entitled to. “I don’t want to say no to the project no matter what...I think something should be built there,” Fagan said. Burton noted that the letter does state that the project would have fewer impacts at a size more “consistent with community character.”
Del Mar launches online tool to increase community engagement The city of Del Mar recently launched Engage Del Mar, a new online community engagement tool, developed by MindMixer, where residents can connect, communicate, and collaborate with the city and other residents on the future of Del Mar. The site can be accessed at www.engagedelmar.com or via links on the city of Del Mar’s home page (www.delmar.ca.us). The goal is to use this tool as another way to involve the community in the planning process for several important projects that are on the horizon for 2015 and beyond, such as the Shores Park Master Plan. Engage Del Mar will be used as an online tool to generate new ideas and feedback from residents using this interactive and accessible platform. “Communicating effectively and engaging our community is a primary goal of the city, and we’re pleased to offer this new tool for residents to solicit their ideas and input on issues anytime and anywhere,” said Mayor Al Corti. Feedback will be used by the City Council, city staff, and design consultants to lay out plans on a variety of projects. Engage Del Mar gives contributors a chance to share ideas, support others’ ideas, expand on existing ideas, and provide feedback on initiatives, working with community leaders on a variety of topics online. To start, the city has posted two simple, fun questions about how the community enjoys the beach and about their favorite park, in Del Mar and beyond. The city of Del Mar values citizen input and encourages participation from the community in the decision-making process. For information, contact Assistant to the City Manager Kristen Crane at 858-755-9313.
Victim of suspicious fire a suicide, say officials BY LYNDSAY WINKLEY SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN The 54-year-old man who died in a suspicious Carmel Valley fire Jan. 9 committed suicide, the Medical Examiner’s Office said Jan. 14. After firefighters doused flames coming from a bottom-floor apartment on Caminito El Rincon near High Bluff Drive, they found a man suffering from serious burns about 11:40 a.m., said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Capt. Joe Amador. He was taken to UC San Diego Medical Center, but did not survive his injuries. A medical examiner investigator determined the victim had committed suicide. There were also several stab wounds on the man’s neck and torso. Fire investigators said the man had probably used on accelerant to set himself on fire. Flames then spread to the apartment.

Earl Warren Geography Bee winners know their places • Eighth-grader Kirusha Lanski takes top prize in competition BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although some might be hard-pressed to locate Kenya on a map, eighth-grader Kirusha Lanski was able to correctly answer the question: “National Geographic explorer Shivani Bhalla works with warriors in the local Samburu community to protect lions south of Lake Turkana in which African country?” With that answer, he won the annual Earl Warren Middle School National Geographic Bee on Jan. 15. “I was surprised I won,” Kirusha said. “But I’m excited to try and go on to the next level.” The competition started with a dozen students in the preliminary rounds, which took place Jan. 14. In the finals, students were eliminated after missing one question, with the questions becoming more rigorous with each round. Finalists took turns answering questions verbally, on paper and using a map. Seventh- grader Lukas Loy placed second and eighth-grader Weston Harmer placed third. The top three finalists won Jamba Juice gift cards, and all participants received certificates. Originally from Russia, Kirusha said he prepared for the competition by downloading National Geographic’s GeoBee Challenge App. “I like the different cultures of each
country and the languages,” said Kirusha, who added that he enjoys studying geography. Coordinated by social science teacher Connor Nesseler, the school-level competition is just the first round of the National Geographic Bee. The National Geographic Bee kicks off in November and runs through January. It includes thousands of schools from the United States and U.S. territories. The school winners, including Kirusha, take a written test for the opportunity to compete at the state level. The top 100 scorers compete March 27 in the state bee. The winner from the California State Bee will travel to Washington, D.C., to compete in the national bee May 11-13. Those finals will be aired on television with journalist Soledad O’Brien as moderator. The winner of the National Geographic Bee receives a $50,000 scholarship, a lifetime subscription to National Geographic magazine, a Galápagos trip and $500 cash. The second-place winner receives a $25,000 scholarship and $500 cash. The third-place winner receives a $10,000 scholarship and $500 cash. Fourth through 10th place winners receive $500 cash each.

Between sense and science: Art professors meet to plan show on artificial intelligence BY WILL BOWEN “The problem is that all our ideas about artificial intelligence are outdated and obsolete,� says UC San Diego Visual Arts Professor Brett Stalbaum, “and we suffer from irrational fears (such as the one so often seen in popular media) that robots and computer brains will become too smart and then try to take over and destroy us. “Worse yet is the thought, which we just can’t stand, that computers — even though they are inanimate objects — don’t give a damn about us. We want them to care!� Stalbaum made these remarks at a reception recently for the Autonomous Sensing Conference at Calit2 Auditorium in Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus. The conference served as a precursor think tank for the upcoming Spring 2015 Calit2 Art Gallery exhibition, “Autonomous Sensing,� which will run April 9 to June 5. UC San Diego visual arts professors Jordan Crandall and Benjamin Bratton co-hosted the conference, which featured speakers Jussi Parikka, Edward Keller and Ryan Bishop. Each gave a presentation, and then all convened for a panel discussion to lay the intellectual groundwork for the selection of art to be included in the upcoming gallery show. The overall idea behind the conference was to explore and imagine a world where machine sensing (such as GPS) and human sensing (sight, hearing, touch) might come together in new ways and lead to unprecedented capabilities to know and experience the world. Imagine what it might be like if we could pack on a computer to enhance our
natural vision, hearing, tactile sensing — or even thinking! The hope of participants was to sketch a new program for the modeling and development of such a synthetic or artificial intelligence — not artificial intelligence as a disembodied artificial mind, but one that combines the biological mind with the capabilities of the computer. Crandall opened the discussion by thanking Calit2 for supporting experimental projects like this one. Co-host Bratton followed with, “We are not out just for more data, but to enhance how we sense and feel things that are out there in the world.� The first presenter was Jussi Parikka, from Finland, who speaks five languages. Parikka is a professor in Technological Culture & Aesthetics at Winchester School of Art at the University of Southampton in England. He specializes in media archaeology, media theory, and network biopolitics. Media archaeologists, like Parikka, were ecstatic over the recent unearthing of several previously unknown Andy Warhol digital paintings, made in the Debbie Harry-style. They were found on old floppy disks dating to a Warhol 1985 project, where he used the paint function of the Amiga computer in a cooperative venture with the company. Parikka shared the details of an experiment he had “excavated,� dating to 1879, wherein a clock was set up to be powered by electrodes implanted in the Earth. Parikka updated the project by constructing a device that could be stuck into the ground, and then one could plug a computer into it for power. The next speaker was Keller, director of the Center for Transformational Media at
Panel (from left) Jordan Crandall, Jussi Parikka, Ryan Bishop, Edward Keller and Benjamin Bratton the New School in New York. He also teaches at Parsons New School of Design. Keller’s interests are in architecture, film, technology and ecology. He shared an all-encompassing flowchart that linked all the ideas, films, books, popular writers and philosophers related to the topic of artificial intelligence, providing a superb overview to the audience. Especially interesting were the clips from relevant films, such as “Code 46,� “Her� (by Spike Jonz), “Man With a Movie Camera� (1929), and “A Scanner Darkly� (from Philip K. Dick), which he screened. Next up was Bishop, an American Professor of Global Art and Politics, also at Winchester School of Art. Bishop shared information on the new high-tech Navy destroyer USS Zumwalt, a superweapon with computer-enhanced capabilities for sensing the world — but for destructive purposes. He also mentioned Planetary Skin, which is a satellite imaging system with the high side

of keeping track of global ecology, but which some people fear could be used for politically motivated surveillance. Bratton returned to the podium to wrap things up, noting, “There are other ways to look at the world than to just measure it as scientists do ‌ Will artificial intelligence save us or destroy us? Will it be used for benefit or for harm?â€? Much to the audience’s dismay, the speakers held off on naming specific works of art that would be in the upcoming gallery show, stating they would decide that soon. However, Bratton mentioned an example of one of his projects, which involved art gallery patrons receiving temporary tattoos with special ink that would enhance their sensing capabilities of the environment around them. Visit gallery.calit2.net or e-mail galleryinfo@calit2.net. Video lectures by Bratton and Parikka can be found by googling their names on YouTube.

Local man’s globe-trekking letters become down-to-earth book BY SAMANTHA TATRO For one local author, the path to writing a book began years ago with a conscious decision. When former businessman Bob Hemphill moved abroad, he began to write letters to his father. The letters were a means for his father to understand his life abroad. “He would have strongly preferred if I would have been a junior pilot just as he started out,” Hemphill said. “But I didn’t do that, and the things that I did do were so novel that I thought he would be amused and entertained by the things I was doing.” Hemphill was one of three who founded AES, a global electric power-generating and distribution company, and spent most of his career working to grow it from a small startup to a $17 billion company. Throughout his time abroad, he continued to write letters to his father, telling him about his life. Eventually, they became the book “Dust Tea, Dingoes and Dragons: Adventures in Culture, Cuisine and Commerce From a Globe-Trekking Executive,” published under the name R.F. Hemphill. “I was having such an interesting time, and I just thought, you know, other people will be interested in this as well,” Hemphill said. “It’s not a didactic book, it’s not a ‘how to make a million dollars in business,’ it’s much more a humorous book about business, of which I would argue there are very few. “Business isn’t always all that serious, so this is another take on it.” He started writing the first letters in 1990 and continued for the next 11 years, gathering the letters as he wrote them. “It didn’t occur to me at first that these could turn into a book, but subsequently I began to think it was a possibility, and I began to save them all,” Hemphill said. He started compiling the letters last year once he left the company and moved to Encinitas. “I thought, you know, perhaps it’s time to do something else. Sometimes you just sort of know. You see changes
in your friends, you see people come and go, and you decide nobody’s got an infinite amount of time allocated to them and you think about what you want to get done in the rest of the time that is still yours,” Hemphill said. “I really decided that it was time to get serious about writing books, and I couldn’t do that if I was still working full time.” The entire process took nine months once he decided he wanted to compile the letters. That process included spending time sorting the letters, editing them, giving them titles and arranging them for the book. “You have to sit down, and every day you have to do it,” Hemphill said of his process. “There’s no magic; it doesn’t do itself. I would sit down at my desk, I would put them in order, I would edit them, clean them up, add titles, and there’s a whole bunch of other stuff you have to do. It’s just work, but it does take a while.” Once the process was completed, however, Hemphill said holding the finished product in his hands felt satisfying — a wonderful end to his months of hard work. “Finally, you have something you thought you’d like and you’ve worked on for a long time — to actually see it in concrete … to be a real thing and to look to all the world like a real book, was really a great feeling,” Hemphill said. “And then to have other people read it, people who are not related to me, and have them say it was pretty funny and they liked it a lot — that was wonderfully pleasant. All of us do our professional work, certainly to earn money, but to also earn the respect and appreciation of other people.” Hemphill’s father passed away four years ago, and though he never got the opportunity to read the finished book, Hemphill said his dad read the letters and liked them. “He was not a barrel of effusion and emotion, however, but I think he thought it was nice,” Hemphill said. “I was doing something productive, and he was pleased with that.” Now that he has conquered his first book, Hemphill plans to compile a second book of letters to his father, or possibly write a mystery series.
Bob Hemphill’s book, ‘Dust Tea, Dingoes and Dragons,’ began as letters home to his dad about his adventures abroad. Courtesy photo You can buy “Dust Tea, Dingoes and Dragons: Adventures in Culture, Cuisine and Commerce From a Globe-Trekking Executive” on Amazon.com.

She is looking forward to seeing the creativity and growth the program will inspire. While the long-term goal of the Robotics Club is to establish a foundation at CVMS, students are already learning about gears and gear ratios, base structures with VEX components and programming in RobotC. Through a series of challenges, five teams will construct robots that will focus on different movements and programming specifics. They will then compete against each other and share their builds and programs to learn and discuss optimal approaches for each challenge. “This club is a great opportunity for our students as we incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning into CVMS,” said Principal Cara Dolnik. “I appreciate the PTSA and Mrs. Fredin for their time and effort in piloting the club this year.” Visit the school’s general website http://cv.sduhsd.net.

Coveted TPHS basketball prospect Campisano picks Oregon BY GIDEON RUBIN Sierra Campisano was already leaning heavily towards committing to the University of Oregon when she made an official recruiting visit to the campus earlier this month. The weekend in Eugene, Ore., cinched it. “Overall, it was just a perfect fit,” said Campisano, considered one of the nation’s most coveted prep girls’ basketball recruits. “Everything pointed towards Oregon, and it was the right time. I just clicked with everything.” The 6-foot-3 Torrey Pines High standout forward made an oral commitment to Oregon on Jan. 13, just days after visiting the Eugene campus. Campisano had been recruited by nearly all Top 25 programs. She also had offers from Oregon State, Colorado, Stanford and Nebraska. She cited playing for a coaching staff that includes former collegiate standout and WNBA star Nicole Powell and head coach Kelly Graves as key factors in her decision-making process. But it was a certain feeling she had roaming the streets of Eugene and the picturesque campus that turned one of the most difficult decisions in her life into a slam-dunk. “It was just the vibe of the town,” Campisano said. “It’s a super-big college town, and all the hotels had ‘Go Ducks’ painted into the windows. “Oregon had always been my No. 1 choice, and this visit totally solidified
my decision and made it very clear that that’s where I was meant to be,” she said. And to say that Campisano, an Oregon Ducks fan since childhood, has no regrets about her decision would be an understatement. “I’m unbelievably excited and honored and over the moon right now,” she said. Campisano acknowledged that making the decision was a bit of a relief, noting that she could now focus all of her basketball energy on helping lead a Torrey Pines team with San Diego Section championship ambitions. Campisano leads the team averaging 26.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.1 blocks. The Falcons last season lost to Mt. Carmel in the San Diego Section Division I semifinals after going undefeated in a Palomar League championship campaign that Campisano counts among her career highlights. Campisano led the Falcons in virtually all major statistical categories last season, too. She emerged as a dominant force her freshman year, despite missing most of the season after an emergency appendectomy. She has recorded double-doubles (double digits in scoring and rebounding) in all but a handful of the 58 varsity games in which she’s appeared. She’s consistently put up monstrous numbers despite consistently being doubleand triple-teamed by defenders. Campisano credits Falcons coach
Denise Bennett, who has pushed the team to play for a common purpose, as a key factor in her development. “It’s a great overall experience, and it’s definitely going to help me at the next level,” she said. Spatticus Harris, Campisano’s San Diego Sol club coach since she was in seventh grade, has played a pivotal role in her development too, she said. Campisano has been on the Beaver State’s radar since her freshman year. One of the first to reach out to her was Mark Campbell, then an assistant at Oregon’s arch-rival, Oregon State. But when Campbell moved to Oregon last season after four years at Oregon State, he brought with him a relationship that helped the Ducks land one of their most prized recruits. Campbell is now part of a program that Campisano believes is a perfect fit. She considers Powell, a former collegiate All-American at Stanford who spent 11 years in the WNBA, to be a major asset for Oregon’s coaching staff. “I’m just really excited to get coached by her and get feedback from such an amazing player,” Campisano said. Powell joined Graves, who engineered a turnaround at a struggling Gonzaga program before coming to Oregon. “I just totally believe in his mission and believe that he can totally rebuild Oregon to the top,” Campisano said. “I’m really excited and honored to be a part of that.”

Despite rejecting the bids, Nichols said the project is a priority for the council and the city. City staff is working with the architect, Van Dyke Landscape Architects, to revise the project plans and cut costs. Once the revised plans are final, the project will be rebid. “Although it’s disappointing this evening that we’re rejecting the bids that were sent out, I want the public to know that it’s still very much a priority for this council and for the city to make it happen,� Nichols said. “We’re anticipating being back out to bid with some revisions to those plans in about two months.�

Beth Am celebrates new infant center BY KAREN BILLING Congregation Beth Am is now the first synagogue in San Diego to offer its own infant care. Beth Am leadership, families, the center’s first cuddly babies and Congressman Scott Peters helped celebrate the opening of “The Nursery� at a ribbon cutting Jan. 15. Denise Neifeld, Beth Am’s preschool director, said she had thought about the moment for a very long time and wanted most to thank the parents. “Thank you for your gorgeous infants, because only when they arrived did it truly become a nursery,� Neifeld said. Congressman Peters presented a proclamation to Beth Am and cut the ribbon with help from Josh Wilson, the older brother of a baby in the nursery, freshly awakened from a nap. Peters said he believes education is a “statement of confidence in our future� and complimented Beth Am for setting a great example for the community and the nation. The vision for the infant center was born out of an identified community need, Neifeld said. As North County demographics evolved, more and more families were requesting full-time infant care. Tammy Fischman, assistant preschool director, said from the onset it was clear that the program would be highly specialized and would require experienced teachers to care for their youngest students. She said the infant center will embrace the preschool’s philosophy that they can foster the development of the whole child through an environment filled with warmth, respect and imagination. The first official day for The Nursery at Beth Am was Jan. 5. The new infant center used to be a classroom — a wall was added to separate the play
area from the cribs, where the name of each baby is spelled out in letters above the cozy sleeping spots. Artwork, in the form of the tiniest of handprints, is already hanging on the wall. “Our nursery has special significance for us as a Jewish community, as our culture and traditions are passed from one generation to the next,â€? Neifeld said. “Our babies and children learn who they are from their experiences both at home and at school.â€? Beth Am president Steve Hochberg said it took a lot of hard work weaving together to make the center possible, from Rabbi David Kornberg and Rabbi Matthew Earne’s leadership and the dedication and vision of Neifeld, Fischman and preschool committee chairwoman Michelle Strauss. Neifeld said the longest part of the process was the licensing and getting everything in line with Title 22 regulations that apply for all community care facilities. In his remarks at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Rabbi Kornberg said that at naming ceremonies and brises, he always reminds attendees that it is a time to celebrate the joy of that moment, but also the potential of what the child is to become. He said he felt the same way about the nursery that has grown out of so much careful thought and planning. “To see the love and interaction happening in that room brings a smile to my face,â€? Kornberg said. “I imagine what the potential can be ‌ it’s a place where families can come and feel the support of the Beth Am community.â€? The Nursery at Congregation Beth Am is located at 5050 Del Mar Heights Rd. in Carmel Valley. For more information, visit www. betham.com/education/the-nursery.

TPHS rugby team beats Del Norte, 27-19 Torrey Pines senior Mason O’Rosky is tackled by Nighthawk sophomore Joshua Friedman (skull cap, mouth guard), but gets the ball over the try-line for a score during the Falcons’ 27-19 victory over Del Norte on Jan. 16 in a high school rugby match played at TPHS Stadium. The Falcons are now 3-0 in the Southern California High School Red Division, tied for first with Cathedral Catholic. Torrey Pines, ranked No. 8 in the nation by the Goff Rugby Report, struggled unexpectedly against the Nighthawks, and trailed 7-5 at halftime. The backline played a much improved second half, with Conner Mead (named ‘Man of the Match’) anchoring the defense at fullback. ‘We came out flat tonight for reasons I can’t explain,’ said head coach Matty Sandoval. ‘Fortunately, the team has great pride and character and played a much better half after the break.’ The Torrey Pines Junior Varsity (2-1) defeated the Del Norte JV, 27-15 in the undercard, with five different players scoring for the Falcons. Both the JV (10:30 a.m.) and the Varsity (9 a.m.) play Saturday at La Costa Canyon. Photo by Anna Scipione. Report by Tim Pickwell

The Sharks 8U Boys All-Stars, coached by Tom Levenberg, clinched the Escondido New Years’ Kickoff Tournament in dramatic fashion. After a long battle during official time against a second Sharks All-Star team coached by Tom Esses, the championship match was decided by penalty kicks. The game ended after Xander Crouch, Benjamin Yung and Michael Diltz each scored goals and goalie Ryan Rechs denied three kicks, putting the game out of reach. Coach Levenberg was proud of how the boys played. ‘These are the most talented players I have ever coached and they really came together as a team,’ he said. ‘These kids showed great sportsmanship and determination.’ Levenberg also appreciated the sacrifices from the team families who canceled cross-country vacations and cut Mammoth ski trips short to play in the tournament.

Letters to the editor/opinion
Without public transit, Carmel Valley development is not ‘smart growth’ An open letter to Council President Lightner: Thank you very much for attempting to move the council meeting about One Paseo to our community. As you know, the development currently proposed for One Paseo would be more than three times the square footage allowed by existing zoning ordinances. From what I have read, supporters have cited as justification for this departure from community standards the “City of Villages Smart-Growth Strategy,” which seeks to promote multi-use communities connected by public transportation. Yet your staff’s inability to find a suitable location for this meeting in Carmel Valley because the area is not accessible by public transportation clearly demonstrates how much the proposed development deviates from that ideal. One Paseo cannot be billed as exemplifying the City of Villages strategy for the simple reason that public transportation does not exist in this area, nor are there plans to introduce it any time soon. Anyone with common sense and an honest view of current and future conditions knows that the northeast corner of the city will always rely primarily on single-occupancy vehicles for transportation both within and in and out of the area. Any unbiased assessment of this project will show that the proposed up-zoning would introduce catastrophic traffic congestion problems, particularly on Del Mar Heights Road, which is already a very heavily traveled route due in part to the numerous public and private schools in the area. I urge you to please make sure that the issue of non-existent public transportation is squarely addressed. It would be irresponsible to green-light this development in the hope that someday, someone might decide to bring in public transport as a means of belatedly resolving the massive traffic delays that will inevitably result should the project move forward as currently proposed. Please do what is right for our community. Please vote against the proposed plan and ask the developer to live within the terms that existed when they purchased the property. Rand Steiger
One Paseo is the problem San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner calls Kilroy’s current One Paseo proposal for Carmel Valley “one of the largest land development projects to be considered by the Council in several years.” The City Council’s hearing and final vote on the proposal will be held at 2 p.m. Feb. 23, but ironically, it can’t be held in Carmel Valley — the suburban community that One Paseo’s urbanization will directly impact. The City Council has cited a number of reasons for this decision, including what they have correctly identified as a “lack of access to public transportation” in Carmel Valley for the Council meeting. By holding the meeting downtown, however, they are instead disenfranchising the residents of Carmel Valley, since they are the ones lacking in public transportation. In addition, it is worth noting that if Carmel Valley’s lack of public transportation makes it a poor location for a City Council meeting, the council should have no trouble recognizing it is a poor choice for a project the size, scale and scope of Kilroy’s One Paseo as well, for the very same reason, and many more.

Group favors development, just not so large We offer an important correction to Robert Scott’s letter on facts and myths about One Paseo (1/15/15, Carmel Valley News, page 26). He is mistaken about the goal of “What Price Main Street,” the coalition of 5,000 residents of Carmel Valley who oppose the current proposal for One Paseo. All the literature we have seen from them, plus all the letters to the editor, plus all the public talks of their representatives at community meetings, have clearly and repeatedly stated that they are in favor of a mixed-use development on the designated property. What they are opposed to is the proposed project’s bulk and scale, three times greater than allowed by the Community Plan, and the huge negative impacts it will have on Carmel Valley’s traffic and community character. Their literature states: “Say NO to THIS One Paseo,” which is a plea for scaling down this project to be consistent with the legally existing Community Plan. William & Juliet Saltman

One Paseo a great project, should be approved Dear Council President Sherri Lightner, Why is this taking so long? Why is the city so slow when it comes to approving such a great project like One Paseo? Don’t listen to the opposition; they do not see the future of this city, they only worry about traffic. But traffic is everywhere now and will always be everywhere. Wake up, Carmel Valley people, this is not a sleepy, small village anymore, like when we moved here in 1986. One Paseo is the most incredible and — by far — the most beautiful development that the city of San Diego needs. By the way, this project is not only for Carmel Valley residents, but also for city of San Diego residents. It will bring thousand of jobs, revenues for the city and a one-of-akind place to come and enjoy. Frank and Esfira Muchnik, Residents of Carmel Valley since 1986
Check the mirror After reading a recent letter to the editor citing a dangerous move made by a bicycle rider (it went so far as to say the rider could have killed a pedestrian!), I decided to Google “San Diego pedestrians killed by cyclists.” All of the hits sent me to stories of pedestrians and cyclists hit, run over and killed by motorists. We have all witnessed poor cycling behavior, and shame on them — but it pales in contrast to poor and distracted driving. I suggest you do your own survey. Grab a coffee at Starbucks and sit outside along the 101 and count the traffic violations by pedestrians, cyclists and autos, and decide for yourself who the real culprits are. Hint: Don’t try to count the texting violations without a computer. Craig Nelson Solana Beach Driver-Cyclist-Pedestrian at large.
Missing the friendly city of old Del Mar I miss the City of old Del Mar! Old Del Mar has always been just a very small village, which had to be friendly, with a beach and fairgrounds/racetrack attached. The City had to be small, also, to carry out the business of being a city (only 2 square miles, they say), most of it being old Highway 101, the railway right-of-way, fairgrounds, lagoon and the beach. The first city hall was in the old Del Mar Hotel. Now that was small! Next, it was on the second floor above the 7-Eleven, which was big enough to hear my neighbors and me talk down the first city proposal for curbs and sidewalks on the streets east of CDM. The next city hall, which I thought was a really neat one, was in the old Post Office at the corner of 15th and Stratford (Rusty’s today). Even though the city was still only 2 square miles, that city hall contained offices for the city manager, the half-dozen other city office employees, plus a council meeting room big enough for all of us to attend (spilling outside) for most all of the usual contentious meetings. But the city business got done! Then, the Catholic Church sold their school on the block south of 11th Street to the City for a city hall of the still 2-square-mile City. Today, the City is preparing plans to cover that property with a new city hall to replace the building that originally housed elementary school children, needed new restrooms, was more than twice as large as the previous city hall, but, they say, is badly in need of repair (falling apart). Why the latter? Because the city had not spent the money to properly maintain and preserve the property like most property owners do in Del Mar. Too bad! Remember, that we are talking about a city that is still only 2 square miles, had only a half dozen office employees in the previous city hall, yet got the real city business done! In my opinion, if the property is too big for just doing the real city business, the excess should be sold for the private sector to develop as apartments, retail stores, restaurants, etc. — that is their real business!!

Letters to the editor/opinion
Post One Paseo signs considerately, please I’m Ken Farinsky, one of the founders of the “What Price Main Street?” group pushing for a responsible project at the One Paseo site in Carmel Valley. This project is generating a lot of concern and fear in the community, with people rightly worried about the local impacts to traffic and community character. We have made yard signs available for you to show your support for a smaller project — get one at our website (WhatPriceMainStreet.com) and display it proudly. However, Carmel Valley has signage rules that are meant to keep our public space free of ads and political messages, and we should follow the rules, too! While I understand and share your concerns, let’s keep Carmel Valley beautiful and keep the yard signs out of our parks and public spaces. Thanks for your help and support! Ken Farinsky
Lesser of two evils: Reduce size of One Paseo The proposed One Paseo project will significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter emissions because it is 100 percent auto-dependent. Reducing the size of the project has been suggested by opponents. The best alternative would have been consideration of a different location for this project. In California, we drive 332 billion miles per year. Air quality suffers because motor vehicles are a major source of pollution from volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. Driving accounts for 36 percent of all greenhouse gases in the state, according to the California Air Resources Board (May 2014). The chief problem is the way we design our communities. The current metric of transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Acts Guidelines is the Level of Service that measures traffic delay and congestion. By only looking at what happens to cars, agencies have required building bigger roads and intersections as “mitigations.” But that only brings more traffic, in a vicious circle. In the long term, wider roads and intersections attract more and more drivers, leading not only to increased air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, but also a return to congested conditions. Under current regulations, these impacts are not considered in a typical project-level environmental review. By later this year, or beginning of next year, however, they must be considered under the newly promulgated regulations. According to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, the number of Vehicle Miles Traveled should be the first step in the analysis. If the proposed project is in the
highest 50th percentile in generating additional vehicle miles traveled, the project must be accessible to an established network of public transportation that is within onehalf mile. That is by definition one of the primary requirements in modern urban development underlying the concept of “Smart Growth” — accessibility to established public transportation systems for large, dense, mixed-use developments such as One Paseo that will draw automobile traffic from 10 miles in all directions to shopping and restaurants. Property values fall in neighborhoods adjacent to large mixed-use projects without public transportation. San Diego should be a leader in the state. The National Resources Agency updated the sample checklist in 2009 to recognize a broader range of “measures of effectiveness.” This change was intended to begin the move away from level of service and capacity as the primary bases for analyzing transportation impact analyses that work against modern state goals. The impacts on human health and the environment are much more important considerations than the economic factors that are listed as being “overriding considerations.” Widening roads and intersections or reducing the size of the proposed project, which arguably will transfer development and its associated traffic elsewhere, are seemingly the only current alternatives for One Paseo. Of the two “bad” alternatives, the choice is clear — reduce the sheer size of the proposed project. William C. Bibb is an attorney and long-term resident of Carmel Valley and San Diego.
When it comes to One Paseo, the facts don’t lie With respect, I must correct Mr. Scott’s misinformed claims that the What Price Main Street? community coalition is manipulating the facts about the proposed One Paseo project. As a member of the Coalition’s Steering Committee, our focus for the past six years has been to pierce the veil of myths and misrepresentations and bring the facts to light. Unlike myths, facts don’t lie. And these are the facts: First, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board did reject Kilroy’s proposed tripling of the project scale, at the same time recommending a smaller alternative similar to that which City Staff insisted be included in the project study. Despite Mr. Scott’s incorrect assertion that we are a “just say no” group, this was exactly the outcome that What Price Main Street has been advocating. Unfortunately, Kilroy ignored this recommendation, again thumbing its nose at overwhelming community sentiment favoring the recommendation. Instead it proceeded to the Planning Commission with this One Paseo, where it was once again rebuffed, despite its threats to just build an office project if the proposed scale was not approved. Mr. Scott did get a few things right. His
point about City Council taking into account One Paseo’s impact on future generations was well-taken. After all, One Paseo’s traffic study relies on relief provided by freeway connectors that are neither approved nor funded, and may not be completed until 2030, if ever. And the project’s access to mass transit, a key component to the City of Villages strategy that Kilroy claims One Paseo represents, another myth. That’s not planned until 2035, if ever. So Mr. Scott is right in that regard; the Council would be wise to consider both the current populace and future generations in mind in its deliberations. At the end of the day, I’m encouraged to read that Mr. Scott and I are hoping for the same thing — that the City Council follows the recommendations of the Carmel Valley Planning Board and the Planning Commission to focus on the facts versus pretty renderings, and rejects this One Paseo in favor of one that is the right size for the community and actually does represent both Smart Growth and City of Villages.

Carmel Valley Futsal focuses on developing skills. Courtesy photo League wants to provide players with an alternative to outdoor and arena soccer — one that offers an environment where players of all ages and skill levels can continue their development. We are accepting team and individual registrations. Any individuals who register will be placed on a team based on their age and skill level. Futsal is an exciting, fast paced soccer game that was developed in Brazil in the 1930s. It is played on a gymnasium hard-wood floor and is basically a scaled down version of outdoor soccer — played indoors. The game is played without walls and the lines of the basketball court are used as the boundaries. The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast thinking, and pinpoint passing. Many of the great soccer superstars such as Pele, Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaka grew up playing futsal and credit the game with developing their skills. The Carmel Valley Futsal League is accepting team registrations for the U7/U8, U9/U10, U11/U12 and U13/U14 age groups for both boys and girls. Games will be held in the gym at the Carmel Valley Rec Center between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays. The registration fee for the league is $500 ($120 for individual players) and includes all referee fees, league administration, equipment and awards for the champions. The CV Futsal League uses USYF rules with some modifications. The games will consist of two 25-minute halves and a 5-minute half-time. Teams are composed of four outfield players and one goalkeeper. League rules are available on the website at www.cvfutsal.com. Futsal is a game where players will get lots of touches on the ball while developing better foot skills and more movement without the ball. It is a game of constant excitement and lots of scoring!

Education Matters/Opinion ‘My dad died’ BY MARSHA SUTTON “ H o w are you doing?” — “My dad died.” “Have a great day.” — “My dad Marsha Sutton died.” “Happy New Year!” — “My dad died.” Of course I didn’t say it. But it’s all I could think of. Friendly sales clerks and strangers were just trying to be nice, not knowing of my pain. When your last living parent has just died, the loss is ever-present. Everything that used to matter feels trivial and meaningless, and all the little pleasures seem pointless. I can’t seem to enjoy reading a book or even listening to the radio any more. It’s like a great fog has descended, creating a veil that clouds all I see. My father died one month ago, at the age of 91. But no matter how old a parent gets, for those of us left behind, there’s never enough time to say all the things you wanted to tell them. In a sense, it’s harder to lose them when they are 91 than 61 — because they’ve been a part of your life for so long that you come to expect that they will always be there for you. Losing my dad makes me, at age 60, feel like I’m 6 — orphaned, alone, lonely. My 60-year-old self says that my dad had a long, good life, filled with joy and love. But my 6-year-old self throws a tantrum and wails at my loss. At 60, I know how lucky I am to have had my dad, fully aware and lucid to the end, for so many years. But the 6-year-old child inside me howls in pain that I don’t feel very lucky right now. My dad was my light, my guide, my rock. He always gave non-judgmental love and support, and inspired all those who knew him with his sweet disposition, gentleness, compassion, trust and honesty. I felt protected by him. With him gone and my mother’s death long ago, I viscerally sense my own mortality. I’ve just moved up a rung on the ladder of life. The stories people tell The remarkable thing about telling friends and family that my father just died is that it brings up memories of theirs that they feel compelled to share — and every story is unique, moving, and many times heartbreaking. These stories often cause
long-buried pain to resurface, but yet people seem so willing, even eager, to talk about it. It’s meant to ease my grief, which it does, but it also seems to unburden those who relive their experiences. Every story tells the mourner that others have gone through this and come out the other side relatively intact, and that we are not alone in our pain. It draws us closer as friends and as a community. We are bound together in the inevitability we all face, and this bond creates strong connections that sustain us as we lean on one another for support. Often the memories people share are about stormy relationships, hidden secrets disclosed by the dying, or intimacy never felt before until imminent death draws families close. I’ve taken great comfort from hearing these stories and knowing that others have gone through this hurt and survived. It’s therapeutic for both parties — certainly for me to understand how other people cope, and for those who remember their fathers and mothers wistfully, with longing and love. We remember them by telling stories about them to others, and that keeps them alive. Words of wisdom Most parents pass along words of wisdom to their children and grandchildren, and my father was no exception. For him, doing business with others was based on a handshake. Trust was paramount. Customers became friends — long-lasting relationships were established, and loyalty was rock solid. Dad used to say that the people you do business with “have to pass the customer test.” Life’s too short to deal with unpleasant or dishonest people. Making money is secondary to the friendship. People have to pass the customer test. There were times, plenty of them, when his trust was betrayed by unscrupulous people. But he never changed his attitude. My dad said that it’s better to live life trusting people than to go through life bitter and suspicious. I remember once when I was in high school, my friend and I had this insane idea to fly on our own to Fort Lauderdale for spring break. My mother was appalled and opposed, rightly so in retrospect, but my dad trusted me and thought it was a good idea for me to gain independence and take care of myself for a week. I don’t want to go into details, but this was definite-

ly trust misplaced. Mom was right about that one. But I’ll never forget my dad’s trust in me, and how I had disappointed him. We all live with a certain amount of guilt when a parent dies. Why are memories of idiotic youthful indiscretions the ones we recall all too easily? What did we neglect to say to them as we grew older? How many times did we not call or visit when we should have? “Don’t be dashed,” my dad would typically say when I had to leave. It was so cute how he would say that. But I would often dash, always knowing I could come back the next time and he’d be there. Until one day he wasn’t. Stand up and fight My dad loved sports analogies, and one of my favorites is: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.” Even if you fail, keep plugging away at it. Take those shots, miss, and then try again. Be adventurous. Take risks. Never give up, and never lose sight of what’s the right thing to do. If you believe strongly in something, stand up and fight for it. You’ll never have any regrets. And he was always there with unconditional, nonjudgmental support. His honesty was legendary. I remember as a child my dad wanting a newspaper because he had an ad in the paper he wanted to see. He gave me a nickel to buy one from the newspaper box. After I dropped the coin in and opened the box, I asked him if he wanted me to grab two papers. He said no, that would be dishonest. But he did want a second newspaper — he thought that was a good idea — so he made me shut the cover and deposit another nickel. My dad never really had to try hard to be a good person. It just came so natural to him, to be so caring and compassionate and forgiving and trusting and honest and … well … nice. “What a nice man.” I heard it over and over again, throughout my life, even up to the day he died. That’s the ultimate tribute. Education matters Death of a loved one has a way of making everything that goes on in the world diminish in importance. And yet, those things upon which we based our lives and our work before the loss still matter. Education matters. I’ve spent 20 years believing that. All those pressing education issues have not gone away. See EDUCATION, page 21
well as other community members, to have the meeting in Carmel Valley because One Paseo is one of the largest land development projects to be considered by the council in several years. Staff from the City Clerk’s Office, SDPD, City TV, ADA Compliance and legislative affairs worked together to consider sites in Carmel Valley. Multiple criteria must be met in order for a City Council hearing to be held in the community, including requirements for ADA accessibility, access to public transportation, parking and capacity to accommodate expected attendance, in this case more than 600 members of the public. After touring the most viable location, Canyon Crest Academy, staff were unable to recommend it as a suitable alternative to Council Chambers because of the absence of public transportation in the area, as well as capacity concerns. In addition, the facility would not be available for use until mid-March, and Lightner said she would like to ensure a timely Council hearing. The hearing is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m. in council chambers, 202 C St., 12th floor. When the item was previously heard by the Planning Board and Planning Commission, two meetings were required to hear the item because of the complex nature of the project and the number of public speakers. The Council President’s goal in starting the hearing at 2 p.m. is to be able to come to a decision in one hearing. Because of traffic congestion between the Carmel Valley area and downtown San Diego in the late afternoon and evening, community members have indicated they would prefer the hearing to start at 2 p.m. To guarantee a hearing date of Feb. 23, the applicant must submit all necessary materials in time to allow the City Attorney’s Office to complete its required review by Feb. 6. — Submitted press release
POLICE continued from page 1 prove services, while the Finance Committee has continued to study alternatives to the sheriff’s contract. “I get the issue of community and community-oriented policing,” said sheriff’s Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the Encinitas station, which covers Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and neighboring communities. “The Sheriff’s Department does that well. We do. We do it well, especially when we have the staffing.” Since joining the station last spring, Adams-Hydar has worked with city staff and listened to the finance committee. She implemented a performance plan to increase visibility and connectivity in the community. She also held a “Coffee with the Sheriff” outreach event in September. Another is scheduled for 6-7 p.m. Jan. 26 at the City Hall Annex Building. Staff will be there as early as 5 p.m., City Manager Scott Huth announced during the meeting. Using the city’s relief budget, AdamsHydar plans to increase patrol services in Del Mar in February or March, she said. “I think you’re going to see a difference; I think you’re going to be pleased with the difference,” she said. “It’s something that, I think, should have probably been done a long time ago, but everybody looks at budgets and numbers and staffing differently. This is how I see it.” Still unsatisfied with the department’s response times to lower-priority calls and its lack of presence in the community, the Sheriff’s Sub-Committee suggested the city establish a small police department consisting of a police chief, one or two certified peace officers, and one or two community service officers. Entous estimated the department would cost about $575,000 per year, with about $100,000 in startup costs for two vehicles, equipment and training. Del Mar’s ranger program costs about $175,000. To help cover the rest of the costs, the city could renegotiate its Sheriff’s con-
tract to allow Del Mar’s department to enforce traffic, saving $300,000, Entous said. Del Mar could also obtain an annual $100,000 grant from the state. “The Sheriff is not connected to us,” said Del Mar resident Bud Emerson, who serves on the Finance Committee. “We don’t know who they are and they don’t know who we are. One of the things that I think this proposal does is, it keeps the best of the Sheriff’s Department, but it gives us contact with people who will help provide good order and safety — the service that we, as citizens, want in a small town like ours.” Although the committee suggested the department start in September, Adams-Hydar noted accreditation could take up to two years. She also said it would be the only such model in the state. “It would be very difficult,” she said. With Huth agreeing that a supplemental police force is a “valid concept,” the council unanimously agreed to “cautiously explore” whether such a department is viable. “I’m all for exploring this option, but somewhat cautiously,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “There are a lot of little moving parts that need to be fleshed out to understand how this is going to work and how much it’s really going to cost.” Mayor Al Corti and Councilman Terry Sinnott, who both serve as liaisons to the Finance Committee, agreed to talk with the Sheriff’s Department to see whether they would work with Del Mar’s own supplementary force. At the same time, staff will estimate a budget. “This model, I think, paints a very nice picture that we can make some improvements,” said Sinnott, who serves as a liaison to the Finance Committee. “I think this is a dynamic way of pinpointing some solutions to some specific and unique problems that Del Mar has.”

BOARDWALK
NORTH COAST - JANUARY 22, 2015 - PAGE A21
continued from page 1
San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach. “No one wants the boardwalk to be moved,” said David Watson, a member of the 22nd DAA board of directors. “It’s silly to move something everyone likes and enjoys, which has been there for such a long time.” Watson estimated that moving the boardwalk would cost $150,000. While he said the 22nd DAA will ultimately follow the Coastal Commission’s decision on where the boardwalk should be located, he said his agency and other groups prefer to leave it where it is. “It’s a community asset. It’s for nature study, and it’s educating people about the value of the wetlands,” said Shawna Anderson, principal planner with the River Park JPA. Coastal Commission staff are recommending that the boardwalk be moved because it runs through a dirt lot that is being restored to wetlands. When the permit for the boardwalk was originally approved in 2005, the lot was being used for overflow parking during the annual San Diego County Fair and horse racing meet at the fairgrounds. The original permit language contained a clause that said the boardwalk was an interim use, and it might need to be relocated when the wetlands restoration plans were final. A Coastal Commission staff report said that if the boardwalk is removed from its location within the restoration area, an additional 1.5 acres of wetlands could be restored, and the move would also enhance “hydrologic connectivity,” or water flow, on the site. If allowed to remain where it is, the report said, the boardwalk would “introduce
significant human interaction that could further degrade the biological productivity within the restoration site.” Staff is therefore recommending that the boardwalk be moved to the northern edge of the restoration site, near Jimmy Durante Boulevard. “We’re saying you can have the best of both worlds,” said Alex Llerandi, a planner with the Coastal Commission. By moving the boardwalk, he said, the wetlands restoration would be enhanced, and the boardwalk will still border the wetlands, with educational signage and viewpoints. “It was foreseen (the boardwalk) would have to move at some point, subject to whatever that final restoration plan was,” said Llerandi. But Trish Boaz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, disagreed with the commission staff’s conclusions. “They’re saying it would impede the success of the wetlands restoration project. But there’s no science backing that up,” she said. The boardwalk enjoys strong popular support, said Boaz, evidenced by the number of people who use it, and the more than 500 donors who have each spent $100 to have nameplates installed along the edge of the walkway. The boardwalk was funded by $354,000 in grants from the state Coastal Conservancy and the federal Transportation Enhancement Activities program, plus the Rotarians’ volunteer labor, said Anderson. Money from the sale of name plates is used for ongoing maintenance. Anderson and Boaz said the boardwalk can’t simply be moved to the northern edge of the restoration area, because that spot is already earmarked for a future extension of
the Coast to Crest trail, which when completed will run 70 miles from Julian to the beach at Del Mar. The boardwalk is for pedestrians only, while the trail is planned as multi-use, for hikers, bikers and possibly equestrians. Since there is no other easily identifiable location where the boardwalk could be moved, said Anderson, the commission staff recommendation would essentially result in the boardwalk’s elimination. Therefore, the River Park JPA is asking the Coastal Commission to remove the language from the boardwalk permit that identifies it as an interim use, which would allow the boardwalk to stay where it is. Commission staff recommends denial of the JPA request. The commission will consider the issue at its meeting March 11-13 in San Diego. The JPA and conservancy plan to rally their supporters to appear at the March hearing. “We’re saying the benefits (of leaving the boardwalk where it is) outweigh the impact,” Anderson said.
EDUCATION
continued from page 20
Special education, music programs, school safety, teachers, curriculum issues, funding, education bonds, school boundaries, school board elections, public employee salaries — all these issues matter. They matter to readers too — I hear from many of you, and appreciate each perspective, tip, and insight I receive. As I contemplate the finality of death, I might put school safety at the top of the Education Matters list. And so, my first foray back into education issues since my father died would be to congratulate the San Dieguito Union High School District for its handling of the two school shooting threats in late November. Death reminds us that the single most important thing schools need to do is protect children’s lives and keep them safe. Educators operate as parents when children attend school — in loco parentis. Learning comes second behind keeping kids alive. The attack in Paris on Charlie Hebdo and free speech seems to have shaken off some of my unnatural slumber and apathy — enough to motivate last week’s column, my first bit of writing in two months. So, little by little, life returns. It’s been one month since my dad died, and it’s time to move past the debilitating grief. Not forgetting. Never forgetting. Just picking up the puzzle pieces and putting them back together again, with a few pieces missing here and there. As my husband’s aunt once wrote in her last letter to us, “I had a stroke and that’s that.” I think back also on a letter to a friend written by my stepmother who described in full detail her and my father’s health problems: “Don’t you worry about us – we know how to accept what is.” My dad died. He was my hero, and I will miss him terribly. The hole in my heart will always be there. But I sense that recovery is possible, and I need to accept what is. And that’s that. The light at the end of the tunnel is no longer the train coming at me. The fog is slowly lifting. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

sued requests for proposals for underwriters in preparation for a possible negotiated sale after the board’s December meeting. Proposals are being reviewed and a recommendation will be made at the Feb. 19 meeting. At a board workshop March 5, the board will disclose the method of sale and the financing team, discuss the size and structure of the proposed bond series, go over a financial analysis of total costs and review projects that will be funded within the issuance. The board is slated to authorize the issuance of bonds at the March 19 meeting, and the bond sale is expected to occur in April. Dill said that the district will also look at changing board policies to mirror those in Assembly Bill 182, which passed after the $449 million Prop AA was passed. Many of the changes are for transparency and to help districts avoid a situation like Poway Unified’s, where the district’s long-term, 40-year capital appreciation bonds will end up costing taxpayers almost 10 times what was borrowed. The final AB 182 legislation was less restrictive on the term of current interest bonds (allowing up to 40 years under government code) and included other requirements with the use of capital appreciation bonds — they must have a limited term of 25 years, be callable within 10 years and have a 4-to-1 maximum repayment ratio. AB 182 also requires several district disclosures
such as the methods and reason for sale, financing team members, estimated costs and financial analysis of total costs. Trustee John Salazar said he would like to see the district be more restrictive rather than less. He said he doesn’t like to hear about 40-year-terms or CABs at all. Dill said the term and interest rate environment will be different from Poway’s and that they would plan to incorporate CABs as part of the program, but not the entire program. The Prop AA Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee also met last week on Jan. 21. The committee ensures that all Prop AA funds are used in support of voter-approved projects, reviews cost-saving measures and performs annual audits. The district is required to have at least seven members, who must include individuals from the business community, one active in a senior citizens organization, one member of a taxpayers organization, one member of a parent-teacher organization and one parent/guardian of a district student. The Jan. 21 meeting was the end of the nine committee members’ two-year terms and all but one have decided to continue. Dill said that while they can continue with just eight members, they would prefer nine, so the district will seek applicants to fill that spot. For information on the committee, visit sduhsd.net.

Symphony, Casa de Amistad team up to bring music to kids BY KRISTINA HOUCK Thanks to the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, Casa de Amistad is offering music classes for the first time. Dedicated to fostering education and character development for local under-represented children, the Solana Beach-based organization provides mentoring and tutoring services. “It’s an amazing opportunity,” said Nicole Mione-Green, Casa de Amistad’s program director. “All kids should have access to music.” The after-school music program kicked off Jan. 13, with 20 students in grades 4-6. Led by professional violinist Rebecca Matayoshi, the class will meet twice a week for one-hour sessions where students will learn introductory violin, viola and cello in a large ensemble setting, as well as basic music theory and musicianship. “It’s important to provide every kid with music,” said Annette Fritzsche, San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory’s community program manager. “Music allows kids to learn and create in a different format than what they’re used to, compared to studying math, science, reading and writing. It uses the right side of your brain and lets you be successful in a different way.” San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory launched the Community Opus Project in 2010 to encourage school districts to include music education in the regular curriculum. It partnered with the Chula Vista Elementary School District to provide after-school music classes. “We wanted to show them the power of the arts,” Fritzsche said. “We told them that attendance would go up, test scores would go up and parent involvement would go up — and that’s exactly what happened.” The program was so successful, the school district has started to reinstate its music program after a 15-year hiatus, Fritzsche said. This is the first time San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory is partnering with a nonprofit for its Community Opus Project. Last year, Casa de Amistad volunteers Judge Lee and Marjorie Sarokin sponsored seventh-grade violist Keyli Garibay so she could join San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory. Wanting to provide opportunities to even more students at Casa de Amistad, the couple approached both organizations to explore possibilities. With funding from the Sarokins, Mandell Weiss Charitable Trust, Betty Scalice Foundation at Coastal Community Foundation and other supporters of Casa de Amistad and the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, the pilot program is funded for 18 months, through next school year. “Our idea is to launch this and see where it goes, but we have big dreams,” Fritzsche said.
In partnership with San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, Casa de Amistad of Solana Beach kicked off its after-school music program Jan. 13. The pilot program will teach introductory violin, viola and cello to 20 students in fourth through sixth grade. ‘All kids should have access to music,’ says Nicole MioneGreen of Casa de Amistad.
For information or to donate to the program, contact Fritzsche at afritzsche@sdys. org. For more about Casa de Amistad and volunteer opportunities, visit www.casadeamistad.org.

Enberg’s ‘McGuire’ returns to North Coast Rep
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Richard Alan “Dick” Enberg is a distinguished American sportscaster for networks NBC, CBS, and ESPN, and since 2009 has provided the play-by-play for telecasts of San Diego Padres baseball on Fox Sports San Diego. Enberg is one of only two American broadcasters selected for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Basketball Hall of Fame, and in July 2015, into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Enberg has won many awards, including 14 Emmy Awards in three categories — broadcasting, writing, and producing — and recently added “playwright” to his many talents. His one-man show, “McGuire,” will run two nights at the North Coast Repertory Theater, Feb. 9-10. Among the many personal relationships Enberg has experienced with professional athletes, he said he was particularly enamored by Alfred James “Al” McGuire, head coach of the Marquette University men’s basketball team from 1964-1977. McGuire won a national championship at Marquette, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992, and was a longtime national television basketball broadcaster, known for his colorful personality. “I got to know McGuire when he joined me and Billy Packer in a three-man broadcast team for NBC,” Enberg said. “The more I got to know McGuire, the more he became the most unforgettable character I’ve ever met. He was a New York street genius and saw light from a different angle.” Enberg said he never considered himself a playwright, but when McGuire died in 2001, his family asked Enberg to write the
notes for the memorial program. “It was a daunting task,” he said. “I was throwing one paper after another into the fire. Then I realized McGuire was so brilliant in terms of life lessons, I’d let him write it himself. I recalled the things he had taught me — his phrases, his unique way to see life — and that’s how I produced the memorial page.” Enberg knew there was more about McGuire he wanted to record, and eventually, he wrote a chapter about McGuire in his own book, “Dick Enberg: Oh My!” “In remembering more stories he told me, I realized there was enough for a play. He really wrote the play, because it’s all his stuff. I just reorganized it, and that’s how the play developed.” Cotter Smith reprises his role as McGuire in the one-man show, directed by his wife, Heidi Mueller-Smith. Smith’s theater credits include Broadway’s “An American Daughter,” “Burn This,” and “How I Learned to Drive.” His television and film credits include Robert Kennedy in the miniseries “Blood Feud” and “Brothers and Sisters,” and the feature film “X2: X-Men United.” “I appreciate Cotter taking time from his busy career to once again play McGuire,” Enberg said. Enberg’s handiness for writing a screenplay came from the way he looks at his broadcasting. “A broadcaster works with numbers — No. 42 made a tackle, No. 7 hit the home run, or No. 22 just made a basket. For the enjoyment of those listening, you need them to care about these players. So I look at a particular game, like football, in

life. We tend to get on the same road and always follow that path. When McGuire was coaching in Milwaukee, instead of making the left turn that took him into the city, he took a right turn to go into the beautiful Wisconsin countryside for an unplanned day to let life come to him. This is a wonderful lesson for all: Get in the car and drive someplace you have never been.” Enberg followed McGuire’s advice several years ago when the family moved to La Jolla. “We decided to move closer to our kids’ school, Bishop’s. After thinking Mount Soledad or by the water, we picked a spot in See MCGUIRE, page B18

MCASD associate curator Jill Dawsey organized the exhibition, including work by Cory Arcangel, Edgar Arceneaux, Jibz Cameron and Hedia Maron, Tammy Rae Carland, Audrey Chan and Elana Mann, Kasia Fudakowski, Eric Garduño and Matthew Rana, Jonn Herschend, Stanya Kahn, Tim Lee, Glenn Ligon, Carter Mull, Jayson Musson, Sara Greenberger Rafferty, Scott Reeder and Michael Smith. In describing the concept, MCASD writes, “Stand-up offers a forum in which comics and artists alike may examine stereo-
types and taboos, testing what can and can’t be said. The exhibition suggests that this format makes particular sense to artists at a moment when they — like citizens everywhere — are seeking new modes of public address (think of the widespread use of social media or the recent emergence of the human microphone within the context of the Occupy movement).” The exhibition features approximately 50 works in a range of media — video, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and a PowerPoint presentation. An illustrated brochure accompanies the exhibition, and includes an essay by curator Dawsey. The title “Laugh-in” (shared with the 1968-1973 TV comedy program “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”) conjures the cultural moment of the late 1960s and resonates with the “sit-ins” and “be-ins” of that time. The period not only saw the rise of stand-up comedy to mainstream prominence, but also its ties to political issues that echo in modern times. Highlights include Eric Garduño and Matthew Rana’s installation, “The People v. Bruce (Parrhesia)” (2011), which simulates a courtroom setting to evoke the 1964 trial of Lenny Bruce for obscenity charges, drawing parallels between instances of censorship in the past and the present. Other highlights include Edgar Arceneaux’s nine-channel video installation “The Alchemy of Comedy ... Stupid” (2006), featuring a performance by comedian David

Performance artist speaks volumes with sound, silence BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Marina Abramovic may not be a name you’ve heard of, but she’s a superstar performance artist who has been pushing the boundaries of her art form for almost 50 years. She began her life and career in the former Yugoslavia, performing her radical, often dangerous, pieces while still living under the rule of strict Communist parents who insisted she be home every night before 10. In 2010, more than a half-million viewers waited in long lines to see her in “The Artist Is Present” at New York’s MoMA, where she sat silently every day for three months, inviting audience members to come, one by one, and sit across from her, meeting her intense, unflinching gaze. Challenging the whole concept of performance, doing nothing but staring and enduring, she created a riveting experience. An HBO documentary, “Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present,” premiered at Sundance in 2012, and last year, Abramovic was listed as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. At home in Hudson, N.Y., she has launched her own institute, dedicated to cultivating long-duration works of art. Last week, she was at UC San Diego, with her latest project, “3015 Work in Progress,” which will be shown this spring at Marina Abramovic listens to her soundtrack.

Around us, the stars ...” science-fiction writer affiliated with the on-campus Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human At the end of the first session, as the audience filed out, the artist appeared, with her Imagination, which sponsored Abramovic’s visit. To begin, she offered a free workshop to interested volunteers, who would then help collaborator. “It’s a work in progress,” she said softly, stopping to pose for a photo before create a soundtrack for the project, culminating in a gallery exhibition.

The charismatic Abramovic had kept herself virtually invisible, but the piece drew participants all into the heart of her process: being present. present; there was no focal point. “Space is not empty ...

Serving the North Coastal Community since 1983 Locally-based Company Allows Moms to Make Money While Working From Home For 12 years, local resident Heidi Bartolotta worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative. But after having two daughters, she no longer wanted to work late and travel. She wanted to be home. “The corporate environment just isn’t very accommodating to moms,” said 42-year-old Bartolotta. “They say that they are, but when push comes to shove, they’re not. They want the priority to be them versus your family.”
We are your family-owned, complete veterinary care hospital. We value your trust in allowing us to care for your special pets!

To allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income, Bartolotta quit her job and founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009. The marketing company represents a U.S.-based manufacturer. Today, Moms Making Six Figures has nearly 70 team members, half working at least 25 hours per week. Bartolotta said her team is comprised of women from very different education levels, backgrounds and work styles. “It’s really nice. The flexibility is amazing. There are so many moms like me. Most of us need a dual income, especially in California. But when you’re a mom, you have kids, and you have all the responsibilities and activities that children have, it’s difficult trying to figure out a way to have a career and balance everything.” Looking to grow her team, Bartolotta said interested women can contact her by filling out a form on the company’s website at www.momsmakingsixfigures.com/contact. “Just request information,” Bartolotta said. “It’s a conversation, then you can decide if it’s something that would be a good fit for you. Take the time to learn about us. It might be the best thing in the world for you.”

Fermented, fizzy kombucha now flowing fresh from local taps BY KRISTINA HOUCK With plenty of probiotics, kombucha is growing in popularity. And thanks to San Diego County-based company Kombucha on Tap, health-conscious locals can now find the fermented tea fresh from the tap rather than straight from a bottle. “It tastes good and it’s good for you,” said owner Deanne Gustafson. Naturally rich in probiotics and special cleansing acids, kombucha can aid digestion and boost immunity. Live, raw and gluten-free, the fizzy tea helped Gustafson kick her sugary soda habits three years ago. “When I don’t drink it for a day, I can tell the difference,” said Gustafson, an Encinitas native and La Costa Canyon High School alumna. “Your body needs probiotics; we just don’t get enough of them. This is a great way to get it into your system.” Already a kombucha drinker, Gustafson discovered the tea on tap during a trip to Oregon with her now-husband and business partner, Jared Gustafson, in April 2013. “It was on tap every single place we went,” Gustafson recalled. “It was at every restaurant, every bar — even the gas stations had kombucha on tap.” Because the healthy lifestyle in Oregon was similar to the healthy lifestyle in San Diego, the couple decided to bring the concept to the region, establishing Kombucha on Tap at the start of 2014. Since then, the company has contracted with five manufacturers, including GT’s Kombucha, the nation’s largest manufacturer of kombucha. With its connections, Kombucha on Tap has brought the drink to more than 30 locations in San Diego, Orange and Riverside counties. “It’s really taken off,” said Gustafson, who served kombucha at her fall wedding. The couple also have kombucha on tap in their Oceanside home. “Every week, we get new clients.” Stratford Court Café became the first Del Mar restaurant to offer kombucha on tap in August 2014. Urban Plates at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center started serving kombucha fresh from the keg soon after. Kombucha will soon be available on tap at four more locations, including GoodOnYa, which is set to open in the spring in Encinitas. While some places simply offer a variety of flavors, others offer “kombucha floats,” pairing kombucha with ice cream, or “kombucha cocktails,” mixing the drink with alcohol. Some breweries, including Oceanside Ale Works, combine kombucha with craft beer, creating “Beerbuchas.” No matter how it’s served, kombucha on tap helps businesses cut costs and help the environment because kegs are refillable and sustainable, Gustafson said. “It also offers customers a fresher, better-tasting product,” she said. “It’s a win-win for everyone.” For more about Kombucha on Tap, including a list of locations where the drink is available, visit www.kombuchaontap.net.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
RSF man’s extra space turns into perfect spot for collector cars •Ra ncho Santa Fe Motor Club and Storage offers a state-of-the art security system. BY KAREN BILLING When longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Charles Butler found himself with 28,000 extra square feet that had long gone un-rented next to his American Faucet and Coatings Corp. building off Palomar Airport Road, he wanted to find a creative solution for what to do with it. He didn’t want to open up another business with a lot of employees. He toyed with storing boats or motor homes there before landing on the idea of luxury garaging for collector cars as Rancho Santa Fe Motor Club and Storage. With the niche business catering to the automobile lifestyle, Butler wasn’t exactly sure what he was going to get, but interest built as soon as Rancho Santa Fe Motor Club rolled up the garage doors on
April 6, 2014. “In nine months, we went from zero to 85 cars,” said Butler, who has lived in Rancho Santa Fe since 1986. The garage has a stateof-the-art, sophisticated security system — it is fenced and gated with codes to enter the lobby and into the storage area. “I did an overbuild on security,” Butler admits, pulling up an app that members can load into their phones that allows them to see live footage of all corners of the club, thanks to a multitude of security cameras. From anywhere in the world, members can zoom in to check on their cars 24 hours a day. Many people told him he didn’t need that much security, but Butler disagreed. He wants to do everything he can to protect his customers’ cars, and to ensure these kinds of cars
are preserved so they will be around for future generations to admire — such as a ’57 T-bird or the beautiful Rolls Royce kept in storage. The club’s lobby was renovated into a cozy lounge for members to visit whenever they want with couches, flat-screen TV, a conference room and even a bar. Collectible car art is on the walls (and for sale) as well as a collection of classic hood ornaments. Music plays over the sound system and a window looks out onto the storage floor. Butler has even put special thought into the floor — grinding, resealing and polishing the concrete and keeping it looking glossy, like a showroom floor. “It will come up to a high luster,” Butler said. RSF Motor Club is home to several award-winning cars, such as a Lincoln that once belonged to both

‘Pepe LeMew’ creates whiff of concern at Woodward Center The adoption staff at Helen Woodward Animal Center received quite a start this morning when an orphan baby clambered across the medical table. With a distinct white From the front (left), Pepe LeMew looks like a regular stripe down its back, the new domestic short-hair. But seen from the back (right), his resident looked more like a tail seems to signal a different creature. Courtesy photos smelly backyard prowler than a domestic cuddler — making workers wonder whether a new kind of adoptable was being made available. The 2-month-old domestic short-haired kitten had been pulled from an overburdened shelter in the San Bernardino area by a rescue partner and had arrived with his siblings for check-in and a routine medical exam by Center veterinary technicians. “I thought that a baby skunk had accidentally climbed into the carrier with the other kittens,” said Adoption Services Assistant Manager Amy Barnes. “It wasn’t until he turned around to look at me that I realized he was part of the litter. From the front, he looks like a completely different critter.” Because of his striking stripe, the Helen Woodward Animal Center staff named him Pepe LeMew (after the Looney Tunes cartoon skunk, Pepe LePew, who romanced every female black-and-white striped cat he met.) “Pepe LeMew has a romantic streak as well,” Barnes said. “He loves to purr and snuggle and is a total lap kitten. This is a guy you’d definitely want in your home.” Pepe will start looking for that home on Friday, Jan. 23 when his vaccinations are confirmed up-to-date. One thing is certain; a chance at a new forever family smells nothing but sweet. Helen Woodward Animal Center is a “dog and cat only” adoption facility, making exceptions for skunk-look-alike kittens. To adopt Pepe LeMew or for information on Helen Woodward Animal Center, go to www.animalcenter.org, call 858-756-4117 or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.
Pianist to open La Jolla Music Society Discovery Series Jan. 25 The La Jolla Music Society opens the Discovery Series with pianist Jiayan Sun at the Auditorium at the Salk Research Institute at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25.

Belly Up hosts Jan. 31 fundraising concert to aid programs for special-needs adults On Saturday, Jan. 31, the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach will play host to a heartwarming musical event that brings together professional singers/songwriters and aspiring musicians from all walks of life to raise money for an incredible local nonprofit, Banding Together San Diego. Launched in 2009, by certified neurologic music therapists Julie Guy and Angela Neve, Banding Together provides music opportunities to young people with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. The duo initially created Banding Together to offer scholarships for music therapy and free community music programs, such as their Jam Session program, to families who otherwise couldn’t afford it, and today the 501(c)3 has raised more than $75,000 and touched the lives of nearly two hundred of children, teens and young adults with special needs. The afternoon fundraising concert and live auction — from 2-5 p.m. — will showcase the talents of local musicians including The Love Birds, Tolan Shaw and Dr. Seahorse, and will welcome many of Banding Together’s special-needs musicians, community mentors, and families. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door (21 and older), available at BellyUp.com. A portion of all ticket sales and proceeds from a raffle and live auction will directly benefit Banding Together’s mission to provide music therapy scholarships and programs for youth with special disabilities. “The purpose of the Jam Session program is to help develop critical life-long social skills and friendships,” explained Angela Neve, Founder of Banding Together. “The use of a ‘rock band’ format to target social skills, a standardized approach, mentors, and the motivation level of participants are some of the things that make it innovative. The best part of it all though, is seeing the smiles on faces as they leave each night. Even if you come in tired from the day, the energy from the Jam Session group is magnetic and you can’t help but look forward week to week.” The Belly Up Tavern is at 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach. To volunteer, donate or register for Banding Together, call 619-299-1411, email info@themusictherapycenter.com or visit bandingtogethersd.org.

Torrey Hills preps for Father-Daughter Dance
Groups, dogs will attempt to break yoga world record Jan. 25 San Diego Humane Society and Leash Your Fitness are teaming to host the largest dogfriendly yoga event that ever existed. On Sunday, Jan. 25, more than 250 people and their canines are expected to participate in this event, which would break the Guinness World Record for the most people and dogs doing yoga together in one place. San Diego Humane Society will have adoptable dogs present to hold a paws — er, pose — while going for a new world record. Dawn Celapino of Leash Your Fitness will lead the yoga class. “Both Leash Your Fitness and San Diego Humane Society promote the importance of the human-animal bond,” she said. “So we wanted to host this special community event together to show people that the bond you have with your dog can be amplified when you include them in your fitness related activities.” Registration is at 9 a.m., with yoga class starting at 10 a.m. at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, 3777 Townsgate Drive, San Diego. There is no registration fee for participants; however, there is a suggested donation of $10, which will benefit animals at San Diego Humane Society. For information or to view animals available for adoption, visit www.sdhumane.org.
Speaker series on senior living to start Jan. 23
The first in a series of six monthly informational sessions designed to assist seniors with quality-of-life answers as they age will be sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections at 2 p.m. Jan. 23 at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino del Mar. “The Best is Yet to Come” introductory session led by by Patti Gerke and Ronald Greenwald, Senior Real Estate Specialists, will present an overview of the workshops, scheduled every fourth Friday, January to June. Do you have questions about your life plan as you age? Does your plan “really” do what you think it will do? What local services and programs are available to you? These are among questions Greenwald said would be addressed at the opening session of the educational and informational workshops. Greenwald said professionals with a vast spectrum of expertise and knowledge regarding seniors’ questions and concerns will be featured as speakers in the coming months. “Our objective is for attendees to become armed with a complete and thorough understanding of issues impacting their physical, medical, housing and financial well-being,” he said. Reserve to 858-792-7565 or dmcc@dmcc.cc.
Torrey Hills fourth-grader Maya Bilstad, pictured here with her mother, Brenda, recently won the schoolwide competition to design the logo for the school’s Father-Daughter Dance.

The Torrey Hills Father-Daughter Dance will be held on Sunday, March 15, from 4:30-8:30 p.m. at the Del Mar Marriott. This will be the fifth annual event and will have dancing with a DJ, a raffle, a slide show and a photo booth.

Healthcare Trends to Watch in 2015 Between the recent changes in our nation’s health insurance system and the rapid and radical advances in technology, 2015 promises to be an important year in healthcare. Here are a few of the big trends and changes you can expect to see as our health system grows and evolves. 1. Wearables & Smart Technology The biggest trend that has already begun and will only continue to grow and expand in 2015 is that of wearable technology. This technology uses smart-linked devices and mobiles apps to monitor a patient’s health and send data to physicians. Physicians and nurses are exceedingly open to this technology as it limits the amount of patients they need to physically see, and as patients begin to trust the technology, they too will be on board as it will limit their trips to the doctor’s office.
Y can read d more about b t th thi i new revolutionary l ti You this technology in my November column. 2. Privacy Due to this radical movement in the way that we collect, store and transfer health information, 2015 will see a push and pull between convenience and privacy. As the health industry moves into the digital age, privacy will give way to convenience to a certain extent. This, however, is not something patients are agreeable with just yet. In a recent HRI Consumer Survey, 73% of consumers say that data security was still more important than convenience. 3. Transparency 2015 will see the introduction of a lot of new high-priced products and specialty drugs. But with these, patients and consumers will be expecting and demanding clear, defined evidence of positive health outcomes. This, combined with our ever-growing world of instantinformation at our fingertips, will call for a new movement in transparency. In fact, there are new initiatives focused on the transparency of clinical trial data, real-world patient outcomes, and financial relationships between physicians and pharmaceutical companies. This trend should only serve to improve the healthcare system.

4 The Th Newly N l Insured I d 4. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 2015 will see 10 million newly insured consumers. That’s a huge number, and the effects should be widespread. Ultimately, we can expect this to mean better care management programs, a demand for systems to run more smoothly and efficiently, and it also might mean a shift in marketing strategies. 5. The Millennial Generation The millennial generation (those born between 1981 – 2000) is actually a larger group than the baby boomers. And now that the boomers are retiring and the nation’s job market is improving, the health industry will see a shift in how providers and insurers look to attract and retain this new younger health generation of nearly 80 million millennials. 6. Expanding the “Extenders” Considering the great number of newly insured health consumers combined with the enormous size of the generation now coming into prime adulthood, doctors are going to have to start delegating tasks and relying on “extenders” to carry some of the workload. This means a greater need for and reliance on nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists. And research shows that the majority
ti t h f t and d ttrustt iin seeing i tthese h off patients have comfort care-givers. In 2015, doctors will no longer be our first line of care. 7. Partnerships & Collaborations Along with this new dependence on extended care-givers, 2015 will also see a movement towards new open collaborations and non-traditional partnerships. For many healthcare companies, this will be a very new way of doing business, but it seems to be the way of the future. In the last year or so, the major healthcare companies formed over 70 distinct partnerships in up to 9 different categories, such as supply distribution, care coordination, research & development, and consumer education among others. It is clear that there are a lot of changes happening in the healthcare industry, and we are hoping that most of them are for the better. At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of technology and the next movement in healthcare, but we also never lose sight that the patient’s needs are always the first priority.

Butler’s company is willing to help make deals happen with privacy and security. “We can act as a bridge between collectors,” Butler said. “No one knows who the owner is or who the buyer is until the price is met.” As a bonus, he employs Robert Johnson as an auto curator who has more than 17 years’ experience, including working with Jim Wangers, considered the “godfather” of the Pontiac
GTO. Butler said Johnson has been to many car shows and events across the nation and has had the privilege to meet very influential individuals throughout the automobile industry; his expertise is invaluable to RSF Motor Club members. While members can bring friends to the club whenever they wish, the floor space can also be rented out for events. Last year, the club played host to a successful black-tie boxing event and a pre-Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance bash, with specialty show
cars brought in for the event. To serve his customers more fully, Butler is working on building an exclusive card lounge in the back of the facility, outfitted for members to enjoy a card game, smoke cigars and associate with other collectors. To learn more about the luxury garage, visit rsfmotorclub.com. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Ocean Air Red Shoe Day Ocean Air Elementary School students joined the Red Shoe Crew Jan. 15-16 to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. The Red Shoe Crew is a student-led, two-day outreach program with activities specially crafted for school-age children. Throughout the two days, Ocean Air students participated in activities that promoted the message of helping others. The event culminated with Ocean Air holding its very own Red Shoe Day (photos on this page) where students donated into Ronald McDonald’s big red shoe to help Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego provide a “home away from home” to families with children undergoing treatment for serious illnesses and injuries at local hospitals. The event was sponsored by the Student Council. For information about San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House or joining the Red Shoe Crew, please contact Diana Witte at dwitte@rmhcsd.org or 858-598-2421.

the Village. I wanted to be able to walk, go to the market, post office or elsewhere. I embrace La Jolla, and it does the same for me. “Now and then, I meet a fan who watched the game last night and comments on it. Yet, unlike other places, no one here has bothered me for an autograph at a restaurant when I’m eating. They know who I am and respect my privacy. It’s a beautiful place.” “McGuire” takes the stage at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9 and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Talkback with Enberg follows the performances. Tickets: $50 and $100; call 858-481-1055; visit northcoastrep.org.

A fundraising event in support of San Diego’s disabled youth was held for Team Hoyt San Diego on Jan. 16 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Team Hoyt San Diego “aspires to build the individual character, self-confidence and self-esteem of America’s disabled youth in all facets of daily life, including family and community activities, sports, at home, in schools, and in the workplace. “Money raised by Team Hoyt San Diego goes toward the purchase, maintenance and repairs of running equipment for our athletes. It also helps fund equipment scholarships, races, athletic grants and administrative expenses.” Keynote speaker at the event was local marathoner, triathlete and Team Hoyt San Diego Vice President Jim Pathman, father to Riley and Shane. Guests also had the opportunity to meet the internationally-acclaimed athletes (father and son) Dick and Rick Hoyt, who has cerebral palsy, as well as athletes from Team Hoyt San Diego. Dick has pushed Rick Hoyt in a wheelchair “in over 1,000 races, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons (six of them being Ironman competitions). Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S. in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days.” Visit www.teamhoyt.com or www.teamhoytsd.com.

Righting Readers’ Rants The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As your culinary advisor, mentor and nurturer, I’m also available as a sounding board for your venting and to dole out doses of practical advice … so rant away! Make your blood boil Rant: I recently made a quiche with a dozen eggs, and as I cracked the 11th one into the bowl I noticed it was marred with a blood spot. Yikes! I had to throw out the contents and start fresh. Solution: A blood or a “meat” spot on the yolk is simply caused by a ruptured blood vessel during the egg’s formation. While candling techniques usually catch
these flaws, some blood spots slip through the cracks, especially with brown eggs. Although these spots are aesthetically unpleasant, they are safe to eat, and can easily be removed with a half eggshell or tip of a knife. But if you have a kosher kitchen, bloodshot eggs must be discarded. For damage control, break each egg individually into a separate bowl, and when it passes the inspection test, add it to the mixing bowl with the rest of the pristine eggs. Shop hopping Rant: I’m frustrated that I can’t do a one-stop shopping trip. I frequently have to make the rounds to three or even four supermarkets — one for quality meats and fish, another for fresh produce, a third for baked goods and a fourth for household items. Solution: These shopping patterns are costly and time consuming. Don’t make this a weekly habit, at most, a bimonthly one. In addition, try substitutions (canned or frozen instead of fresh) if it will cut out one
of the shopping trips, make organized lists and stick to them, and stockpile your staples. Another idea is to gather a group of your cronies and designate each one to a particular supermarket to do shopping duties for the rest. Dangerous doppelgangers Rant: I’m frequently confusing herbs and spices that look alike, ruining my recipes. In the past I’ve inadvertently sprinkled garlic powder instead of powdered ginger (and vice versa), cayenne pepper instead of paprika, and salt instead of sugar in various dishes. Solution: The legendary Liberace embarrassingly told the story of his culinary faux pas when he mistook a green cylindrical tin of Comet for a can of dried Parmesan cheese as he was sprinkling it on top of a pan of homemade lasagna. Fortunately, he noticed the gaffe before his dinner guests were poisoned. Read labels judiciously, separate similar looking herbs and spices in your pantry, and

designate all savory ones with a red label, sweet ones with a green label. Inflation aggravation Rant: Prices in the produce aisle of the supermarket are like the stock market, fluctuating daily — usually upward, especially for berries that are like edible gems. Solution: Just when you think you’re beginning to make ends meet, they move the ends! To buy the most economical (as well as nutritional) fruits and vegetables choose local and seasonal. Berries hit their bounty, and are therefore cheapest in the late spring, melons and stone fruits in the summer, and apples, pears and gourds in the fall. Harm to table Rant: I’m so fearful of undercooking my chicken and pork, I frequently overcook and sometimes char them, overcompensating for my phobia. Solution: Fowl and pork products have to be cooked like Baby Bear’s porridge — just right. If underdone, harmful parasites and other food borne bacteria could still be lurking; if overcooked, these burnt offerings could be carcinogen-
ic. Roast on a moderate heat in the middle rack of the oven for even cooking, and always test for doneness using a meat thermometer. The following are safe recommended temperatures: Chicken breast or ground poultry: 165°F Assorted roasts and steaks including beef, pork and lamb: 145°F, followed by a resting period of 5 minutes prior to carving Ground meat: 160°F Fish: 145°F — If you have something to beef about, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.
Healing Garlic Ginger Broth Ingredients 2 pounds chicken breasts (organic, skin removed) 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced 1/2 sweet onion, chopped 3 carrots, peeled and sliced in coins 2 celery ribs, sliced 32 ounces broth (organic chicken, vegetable or mushroom) 6 cups spring water (adjust to desired taste and consistency) 1 handful fresh parsley, chopped 2 1/2 tablespoons oil (sesame, canola, red palm, your choice) Cayenne pepper and sea salt to taste
Method: Heat oil in a stock pot and sauté garlic, ginger, onion, carrots and seasonings until tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45 minutes. Remove chicken and shred into broth. Serve piping hot with egg noodles.
