2013 brings in a variety of new state laws

BY JOE TASH Gov. Jerry Brown signed 876 regular session bills this year, and vetoed 120 regular session bills. Following are some of the higher profile new laws that began in California on Jan. 1.

ONLINE PRIVACY California is making it illegal for employers to demand access to employees’ social media accounts. Gov. Brown said the legislation will protect residents from “unwarranted invasions.”

GAY RIGHTS Gov. Brown outlawed gay conversion therapy practices on minors— efforts by therapists to convert minors’ sexual orientation.

However, the law has been delayed pending a federal appeals trial.

EDUCATION To ease the often overwhelming costs of higher education, select popular college textbooks are set to become available as free online downloads. More than

50 common textbooks for University of California, California State University and California Community College students should be posted in an online database by the start of the 20132014 school year.

IMMIGRATION Young undocumented Californians will be eligible for driver’s licenses beginning next year if they qualify for a new federal work program. Gov. Brown’s signing of the law followed in

Del Mar considering affordable housing on DM Fairgrounds Editor’s note: In its quest to integrate affordable housing into the community, as mandated by state law and outlined in the city’s Community Plan goals, the City of Del Mar has several options on the table: rezoning in the north commercial zone, upgrading temporary housing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, condo conversion, offering more square footage as an incentive to build affordable “granny flats,” and possible modification to development standards in the downtown area.

The following is the second in a series examining in more detail what these options would look like in Del Mar.

Thriving Carmel Valley turns 30 this year: Residents remember the beginning

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley will turn the ripe old age of 30 in 2013.

In 1983, Pardee Homes was issued the first building permits for a place called North City West, an area mostly populated by farmland that would eventually be known as Carmel Valley.

The Carmel that appears in the community’s name and is extremely popular on street names (Carmel Mountain, Carmel Creek, Carmel Canyon, Carmel Country, Carmel Vista, Carmel Center, ect.) is a nod to the Carmelite Sisters of Mercy, who ran a dairy farm and monastery in the area.

Carmel Valley’s master

plan commissioned in 1974 attempted to reduce sprawl by confining development to the mesa tops and leaving the canyons untouched.

Open space preservation versus high-density development is still a challenge for local planners today as they aim to stay true to the community’s original vision.

Here are some remembrances of Carmel Valley’s earliest years from some longtime residents: Anne Harvey In 1980 I got a desperate call from the registrar of voters asking me to serve at a new precinct because I was one of only two registered Democrats in Carmel Valley.

The polling place was the

widow MacKenzie’s yellow house at the fork of Carmel Valley and Black Mountain Roads. There were eggs for sale stacked at one end of the room and someone brought honey to exchange.

I noticed in the big ledger that my neighbor Josie, who lived on Del Mar Mesa at the corner of Hollywood and Vine with her retired K-9 Corps Dobermans, had first voted in 1936, presumably for FDR. The voters lingered to catch up on each other’s stories, including their newfound admiration for one of the candidates, “that fellow from Iowa” John Anderson, and no one objected because it was all so good natured.

John Dean In the early 1980’s there were probably only a little over 100 people who lived in this area east of I-5.

They were mostly farmers, horse people, some UCSD students and a handful of others who didn’t want you to know who they were or what they did.

The only business here at the time was the Shell gas station on Carmel Valley Road. There was a single dirt road that ran south of the Shell station to Arroyo Sorrento Road where Anne Harvey, myself and a few others lived. We both still live on that road. I remember my wife saying some of her friends wouldn’t visit because the road was so bad and I thought to myself that’s one of the reasons we See BEGINNING, Page 16

Meet new Del Mar City Council members Al Corti and Sherryl Parks Corti brings decades of commercial From working mom to political organizer to global development experience to the table volunteer, Parks now ready for City Council service

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Having worked in real estate development for more than three decades, it’s no wonder Al Corti has an active interest in the development of his own city. After moving to Del Mar 22 years ago, his family got used to seeing him glued to the TV during weekly City Al Corti Council meetings, intently following issues such as the expansion of sidewalk cafes in 2008 and the release of the Kennedy Smith report in 2007.

“Watching meeting after meeting, I was so involved in it, and after a while I started to realize my kids would leave the room and my wife would leave the room and next thing you know, I’d be sitting there by myself talking to the TV,” Corti said. “At one point I realized it made more sense to go down there and speak up. They were talking about things I had an opinion on so why talk to the TV when I could talk to the council?”

It wasn’t Corti’s intention to end up on the other side of the podium; however, the council appreciated his continued input and invited him to serve on the Ad Hoc Form Based Code Advisory Committee in 2009.

That leadership sparked subsequent terms

on the Design Review Board and Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee. Last month Corti was installed as a Del Mar City Council member.

But if Corti looks familiar to you, it’s probably not because you saw him running any kind of campaign for the unopposed seat — during the election season and the many months leading up to it, Corti had his hands full observing and offering insight at more than 60 public meetings and workshops regarding the Village Specific Plan (VSP), which failed as Prop J in the November election.

Although Corti embraced the VSP and spoke at many meetings, he was mainly a listener on the sidelines, his involvement largely stemming from an interest in understanding what the community wants on both sides of the issue in order to know how to move forward — with or without the VSP. But Corti didn’t get onto the council because of revitalization, he said — It was revitalization that got him involved in Del Mar. “I knew six to 12 months ago that, regardless of the outcome of the election, there’s still an awareness of implementing revitalization,” he said. “To take a bigger role in implementing, I had to get more active, and City Council was the next step for me.”

The commitment to serve on City Council comes at a particularly good time because he’s slowing down his career. After years of overseeing the development of more than 30 large retail projects, including FashSee CORTI, page 6

BY CLAIRE HARLIN When Sherryl Parks retired in 2006, she didn’t stop.

She traveled to Gulf Port, Miss., in 2007 to rebuild homes destroyed by Sherryl Parks Hurricane Katrina, and she traveled to Africa in 2009 to feed children living near the resourced-drained diamond mines of Namibia. Having recently wrapped up a four-year elected term on Del Mar’s St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Vestry, which advises the priest on community relations, she’s ready for her next commitment – Del Mar City Council.

“My mom always told me to do one thing at a time, and do it endlessly,” said Parks, who has long been familiar with Del Mar and its residents through serving a term on the Design Review Board in 2000 and watching her former husband, Elliot Parks, serve as Del Mar Mayor during the 1990s. “I typically do one term and don’t go on. I don’t see myself as a political person. I’m just a resident signing up for a job, a fouryear job, and my focus is to do this term the best that I can.”

While Parks didn’t have to do much campaigning for the unopposed seat, to

which she was installed in December, she’s not a stranger to the process. She has worked on the campaigns of several former council members, such as Crystal Crawford and Jan McMillan, and some of the many community members who have witnessed Park’s dedicated grassroots efforts and involvement over the years have long encouraged her to run for a seat herself. She also accompanied her former husband as he traveled statewide representing Del Mar in the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and she took an invested interest in the Del Mar Library at that time, even serving as the co-chair of the building’s opening. She also served as president of the Del Mar Foundation Board, where she held a seat for six years.

But it’s not the issues of the day that she remembers from her daily involvement, and especially her former husband’s mayorship, more than a decade ago.

“I don’t remember every detail of how he voted,” she said. “What stuck with me was the active citizen involvement that was found at City Hall. And to this day, I’m not cynical about it, I’m still excited about it.”

At 67, Park’s involvement in the community hasn’t waned. For years she has volunteered at least once a week as a cashier at the St. Peter’s Thrift Shop and she has also opened up her home to fellow community members to hold educational events and classes under the city’s Community EmerSee PARKS, page 16

After 20 years of accomplishments on county board, supervisor Pam Slater-Price ready to tackle new goals

BY JOE TASH At 11:59 a.m. on Jan. 7, the 20-year tenure of County Supervisor Pam SlaterPrice will come to an end.

“And at 12 o’clock straight up, if anyone says help me with this, I’ll say go speak to Supervisor Dave Roberts,” said Slater-Price.

Even though she’ll no longer be on the board, Slater-Price, 68, said she plans to continue to be involved in a number of local issues, including the goings on at county government.

Her advice to her successor, Roberts, County Supervia former Solana Beach City Councilman sor Pam Slaterwhom she endorsed over rival Steve Price Danon, is to listen to his constituents.

“Listen to the people who put you in office,” she said. “If he starts going off the rails I’ll be down there at public comment to set him straight.”

Roberts will be the first new supervisor on the board in 18 years. He’ll also be the first Democrat to serve on the board since the mid-1990s, and the first openly gay member of the panel. In the future, the board will see more turnover due to term limits passed by county voters in 2010.

The five-member Board of Supervisors presides over an agency with a $4.8 billion annual budget and more than 15,000 employees. The county provides such services as law enforcement, health, parks and recreation, libraries and land use regulation in the county’s unincorporated areas.

Slater-Price, a former teacher, worked on the drive for cityhood for Encinitas, then served on the Encinitas City Council and as mayor before her successful run for county supervisor in 1992.

Among the actions she is most proud of during her tenure on the county board was adoption of the Multi-Species Conservation Plan, which is designed to preserve animal and plant species by setting aside areas to be preserved for natural habitat.

Another issue “near and dear to my heart,” said SlaterPrice, was improving the county’s animal shelters, and reforming many of its animal-related policies.

“I thought the county shelter was terrible, it was a kill shelter, a concentration camp for animals,” she said.

Slater-Price and other officials worked to obtain funding for a new central animal shelter in San Diego, and major renovations to the county animal shelter in Carlsbad, as well as upgrades to its shelter in Bonita.

Policies were changed to encourage adoption of animals, which has led to a much lower percentage of animals being euthanized, she said.

The county also ended its practice of selling animals for medical research.

“That’s kind of a mission accomplished,” she said.

Not everything turned out as she had hoped. In this category, Slater-Price included the update of the county’s general plan, a blueprint for future development of the county’s unincorporated areas.

The supervisors approved the updated plan in 2011, 13 years after the project was initiated.

Slater-Price said she would have liked to see the plan remain more true to its original outline, rather than being changed to accommodate the concerns of individual land owners who didn’t like

the way their property was designated. Many of those decisions came on 3-2 votes of the board, she said.

“I was sorry to see it carved away and changed,” she said.

Once she steps down from the board, she’ll have plenty to keep her busy.

Among them will be

working with the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority to ensure that the Del Mar Fairgrounds follows through with promises it made to settle an environmental lawsuit, and working on a volunteer board to raise money for renovations to the downtown San Diego Civic Theater.

Slater-Price, who lives in Del Mar with her husband, Hershell, also plans to keep fighting the proposed Gregory Canyon landfill in North County.

“I’ve been fighting that now for 20 years and I won’t give up until I know it’s definitely not going to be built,” she said.

Reception offers sample of upcoming Kyoto Prize lectures

BY PAT SHERMAN More than 50 people gathered at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Nov. 28 to learn about three free lectures that will be offered next spring when this year’s Kyoto Prize recipients visit San Diego.

One lecture will be offered at each of the following institutions: University of California San Diego, University of San Diego, and San Diego State University.

The Kyoto Prize honors individuals who have contributed significantly to the scientific, cultural, and spiritual betterment of mankind. Japan’s non-profit Inamori Foundation presents the prize annually in the following categories: Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences, and Arts and Philosophy. It includes a cash gift worth about $625,000, making it Japan’s highest private award for international achievement.

For more than a decade the laureates have visited San Diego to give presentations on their work.

This year’s Laureates include computer scientist Ivan Sutherland, molecular cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi, and literary critic and educator Gayatri Spivak.

During the reception, UCSD oceanographer and 1999 Kyoto Prize recipient Dr. Walter Munk, recalled attending the awards ceremony in 1999 and again last month.

While there, he and his wife were invited aboard the Chikyu, a Japanese drilling vessel designed to bore seven kilometers beneath the ocean floor, and ultimately into the Earth’s mantle — a quest Munk was involved in five decades ago as part of Project Mohole.

Though Munk and his crew never reached the mantle, his expedition invented technology that prevents a ship from drifting during such research, which is still used today by Chikyu researchers.

San Diego State University entomologist and Vice President for Research Stephen Welter offered an overview of the Kyoto Prize recipients’ professional achievements.

Dr. Oshumi, who won the prize in Basic Sciences, gave a talk titled “50 Years of Autophagy” (in which the body or cells self-digest to provide sustenance, as happens in dieting).

“Autophagy is this process by which cells take portions that are either damaged or unnecessary, they recycle them, then move them along,” Welter said. “It’s important for cancer, for anti-aging — which I’m very fond of.”

Welter said Oshumi’s talk moved from the technical to the

esoteric, focusing on how students can succeed by taking the path less traveled.

“If you do daring research, that’s where you make a difference,” he said. “In (Oshumi’s) case it Dr. Holly Given, guest speaker Dr. turns out the Walter Munk. Photo/McKenzie Images daring path was yeast. Most of us think of yeast as things that make beer or bread, but the truth is that yeast is a very simple organism that allows us to do very elegant experiments.”

Welter said he relishes the oft-used image of Indian theorist and philosopher Gayatri Spivak in a sari and combat boots, marching to a remote village to teach women how to educate impoverished populations.

Prof. Spivak, who won the prize for Arts and Literature, was educated at the University of Calcutta and at Cornell.

“She really is a philosopher, an intellect, a social critic and her topic is basically post-colonialism,” Welter said. “Her concern is that the Western world’s perspective ultimately defines how we see India, or how we see other cultures, and that it’s very difficult to evaluate another group through the prism of our own eyes when we’ve had such a different experience.

“It could have been left at just a criticism,” Welter said, “but she’s one of those people that’s taken criticism and turned it into action.”

Computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland, who received the prize in Advanced Technology, is often referred to as the father of computer graphics.

Sutherland later moved on from computer graphics to form companies and conduct research at Harvard, California Institute of Technology and elsewhere.

Welter said Sutherland deemed computer graphics “no longer a worthy intellectual opponent.

“I think that gives you some kind of insight into these

kinds of people,” Welter said. “There’s a hunger in him you can see… People in his companies went on to form Adobe, Pixar.

It’s like every river, there’s a source for that river. … Clearly people came to him. He nurtured them, he spun them off and they became tributaries.”

Mother pleads guilty to murder in drowning of 4-year-old autistic son

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman who drowned her 4-year-old autistic son in a bathtub, then drove his lifeless body to a police substation where she admitted the crime, pleaded guilty Dec. 27 to second-degree murder.

Patricia Corby, 37, sobbed as she admitted killing her son, Daniel, last March 31.

She will be sentenced to 15 years to life in prison on Jan. 28.

According to testimony at a preliminary hearing in September, Corby contemplated suicide before holding her son down in several inches of water until he was lifeless in the family’s Carmel Valley condominium.

District Attorney’s Office Investigator Walter Escobar testified that Corby told him her son — diagnosed with a high likelihood for autism — had made strides in his battle with the developmental disorder but not enough to satisfy her.

Corby, who cared for her son at home, felt she had no time to do anything, Escobar testified.

“She felt like her whole existence was dedicated to her child,” Escobar testified.

“She felt like she had no life.

She wanted Daniel to be normal.’’

Escobar testified that Corby told him that after she killed her son, she tried to drown herself but couldn’t, realized what she did wrong and drove to the police substation four miles away to turn herself in.

A police officer tried to resuscitate the child, but paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

The victim’s father, who was at work at the time of his son’s death, testified that he and his wife amassed $70,000 in debt getting their son numerous types of treatment. He testified that he saw no signs that his wife suffered from any mental disease before she killed their son.

More stories to watch in 2013

BY KAREN BILLING Here are six more regional stories on our radar for 2013.

One Paseo In November, Kilroy Realty announced some changes to its mixed-use project set for El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road, including the elimination of the proposed hotel, the scaling back of some of the building heights and Trader Joe’s as a new tenant.

The project has been a lightning rod for local conversation—some residents are thrilled about the shopping, dining and sense of place the lively Main Street could bring to the community; others fear the development will increase traffic congestion significantly and, even with reduced density, still find the scale overpowering and out of character with Carmel Valley.

The city is now in the process of producing One Paseo’s final EIR (environmental impact report) document and the project is on the agenda to kick off the new year for the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board (the meeting is set for Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library). The project will then go through the planning commission by the spring of 2013 and to the San Diego City Council for approval possibly in the summer.

Highway 101 project in Solana Beach A major renovation project along Highway 101 in Solana Beach is expected to be completed by early June rather than in the fall of 2013 as originally projected, city officials and the project’s general contractor said at a workshop meeting held on Monday, Dec. 17.

San Dieguito Union High School District It took some time for the district’s Prop AA bond on November’s ballot to finally get the required 55 percent of the vote to pass but pass it did. According to Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, the district plans to draw $150 million of the bond monies in the spring of 2013 and kick off several local projects.

“Because of the design and approval work that needs to happen first, the most significant projects will not get off the ground until 2014 or later but we do have some projects that will start earlier,” Dill said.

Some of the highlights for next year’s work include the installation of artificial turf and rubberized track at Canyon Crest Academy, and Torrey Pines High will get new stadium lighting,

fire road improvements and a water main replacement after the main broke earlier in 2012. The district will also begin the design process and approvals for improvements and additions at CCA, TPHS, Carmel Valley Middle School and Earl Warren Middle School, as well as the new Pacific Highlands Ranch Middle School.

In 2013, Dill said they plan to purchase the new middle school site in PHR, next to Canyon Crest. They aim to start construction on the middle school in 2015.

Kelsey Kafka Kelsey Kafka The Torrey Pines High School and North Coast Aquatics swimmer had an eventful 2011, when she became the Division 1 section champion in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke and helped the team win a section title.

She skipped her junior year season in 2012 to focus on the Olympic Trials, which she took part in over the summer in Omaha.

Already committed to swim for USC on a partial scholarship in the fall, Kelsey is now taking aim at helping TPHS to a fourth straight section title in the spring of 2013, defending her individual championships and chasing down a 100-yard breaststroke record that has been on the books for years.

“My goals are to break the CIF record in the 100 breast (1:01.77), go a 2:12 in the 200 breast, and help the Torrey Pines girls win the CIF championship,” Kelsey said.

“She’s been working really hard in the last six months, she’s a lot more focused about her goals,” said Jeff Pease, her coach at North Coast.

Pease said Kelsey has built up “quite a repertoire” of races, such as the 400 individual medley. He said that her butterfly stroke has really improved in the last year and her only weakness is backstroke, which she continues to work on.

“I’m very pleased with her focus because a lot of seniors get ‘seniorities’ once they’ve signed with a school but I don’t see that with Kelsey,” Pease said.

He said he feels Kelsey is capable of another strong showing in the 2013 section, her final year racing as a Falcon.

HOUSING continued from page 1 use them primarily during the races and the fair. That’s where the horses are kept and groups like 4-H, they lease those spots.”

But Del Mar city officials are considering a different vision for those dormstyle units, one that could involve upgrading them to make them livable enough to meet state housing standards and help the city fulfill its affordable housing priorities. Under requirements set by the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development

(HCD), Del Mar must work 71 new units into the city framework, and 22 of those must accommodate the lowest income bracket — which is a challenge considering there’s hardly anywhere to build in Del Mar and property values are far from affordable.

Del Mar Councilmembers Lee Haydu and Don Mosier presented the idea to fair officials in a recent Community Relations Committee meeting, however, the idea is only in its infancy — and the conversation between the two entities preliminary.

“They have tossed out the idea, but we don’t know what this means yet,” said

Fennell, adding a date to meet with Del Mar will likely be set after the holidays.

“These are only temporary units and there is no proposal in our Master Plan for permanent housing … We’d love to see what the requirements are, but we haven’t been given anything yet.

There are a lot of question marks. Like, what’s this going to look like? And who’s going to pay for it?”

Del Mar planning manager Adam Birnbaum said the Del Mar Fairgrounds is the city’s largest employer, and it takes up 20 percent of the city’s land but does not provide any housing. About 20 to 25 percent of Del Mar’s residents, some of whom may work at the fairgrounds, qualify for affordable housing, so Birnbaum said the issue at hand falls on the question of whether there should be housing there for fair employees. But the bigger question, he said, is whether fair officials will work with the city to provide housing while helping the City of Del Mar get credit from HCD. “They are an independent state agency with a

Master Plan, so it would be up them how to implement that,” Birnbaum said.

Fennell said there are a number of fairgrounds employees who live hours away, so having housing on site would help those people in terms of time and fuel costs. But he said considering the decrease in the number of racing days from 43 to 37, as well as the decrease in number of horses being raised, fair officials are unsure whether to spend money on a site where fewer horses are being kept. He also said he’s unsure if the horse stable area, where most events are held, would be the best place to build housing, as there may be access and security issues, among other concerns.

“Bottom line is we haven’t anticipated having any longterm housing,” Fennell said, adding that the fairgrounds’ first order of business is widening the turf track. “If the City of Del Mar is interested in discussing how to help the city, we are open to those discussions, and if we can help and it makes sense then we’d love that, but I am not even sure

Haydu said the recent fairgrounds Master Plan lawsuit took up a lot of time, but he is optimistic that this issue will get proper attention now that those legal issues are resolved.

“They really do want to work with us because some of their employees would fit that, and those units could be rented too,” she said, adding that she is familiar with the old housing that currently exists at the fair and thinks it could use an upgrade.

“They call it a jockey house, but I don’t think any jockey would stay there,” she said.

He also led the construction of two major retail projects — Fenton Marketplace in Mission Valley (where Ikea is located) and the Simi Valley Town Center in Ventura.

The 2005 sale of that app r o x i m a t e l y 1,100,000-square-foot outdoor mall was somewhat of a culminating event for Corti.

“At that point in my life I felt like I had basically done everything I wanted to do from a career perspective,” he said.

The winding down of his fast-paced career left Corti not only with more time on his hands, but a continuing urge to make a difference in communities, as well as be challenged intellectually — so the shift to public service naturally occurred, he said.

“If I had a list of 1,000

things I wanted to do, serving on City Council wouldn’t have been on that list,” he said. “But with my career ending and me not wanting to slow down, I wanted to see what the next challenge would be.”

Growing up as a firstgeneration Italian in a “tough” area of the Bronx, Corti knows challenges all too well. He was taught the ways of being hardworking and blue collar from an early age, however, it was his own personal drive that led him to success. For example, Corti first attended engineering school but later decided he wanted to build things. He took the risk of changing paths to earn a degree in construction management from New York University, and became a general contractor.

And Corti will also tell you that success is not only about facing challenges, but about solving problems – a skill he hopes to bring to the council.

“If you put time and effort into being pragmatic and doing things sensibly,” he said, “then you can apply that to anything that you do, and it works.”

Art exhibit captures the ‘Wonder of Women’

STORIES

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The opening of “Capturing the Wonder of Women,” a multi-media exhibit reflecting the diversity of women’s experiences, drew hundreds of visitors to the Women’s Museum of California Dec. 7. The WMC is one of only five women’s museums in the country.

The museum recently moved from its old Golden Hill location to Liberty Station, and their first juried art show is a way of showing off their new space and reaching out to a wider audience.

“We’re recharging the whole spirit of the museum and reintroducing ourselves with this major exhibition,” said curator Li Huai, a visual arts lecturer at UC San Diego and an artist whose work has been shown locally and around the world.

Born in China, with art degrees from Beijing and California, Li is a longtime La Jolla resident whose husband also teaches at UCSD. For the exhibit, she gathered more than 150 submissions from regional artists, asking them to capture the “wonder of women” in the medium of their choice.

She selected 47 pieces

“I like art that poses a question to the viewers, that makes people think, so the audience becomes part of the art work,” Li said.

Women’s Museum director Ashley Gardner said the exhibition is the result of a huge, huge team effort. “(Li Huai) had a vision and when she put all the pieces together; it was magic,” Gardner said.

a solution by the end of the year to make the missing links between Interstate-5 and SR-56. But all has been quiet, no news yet on whether they will opt for a direct connector, an auxiliary lane alternative, a hybrid alternative or a hybrid alternative with flyover.

All of the alternatives replace and enhance the Del Mar Heights overcrossing, and costs range from $90 million for the auxiliary lane beef up to $250 million for the direct connector. According to the EIR, all provide a 10 to 20 percent reduction in regional traffic but local residents have expressed concerns on whether those savings are worth the impacts to their surrounding environment.

The final plans are expected in 2013 with project construction targeted for 2020-2030 if any build option is selected.

The new and improved at Flower Hill Promenade and Del Mar Highlands Carmel Valley-area retail centers have undergone major facelifts and the new amenities keep on coming.

Already people can enjoy the smell of cupcakes wafting out of the new Towne Bakery at Del Mar Highlands Town Center or grab a massive burrito lunch at Flower Hill Promenade’s new Chipotle or get the little one’s hair snipped at Pigtails & Crewcuts, but more changes lie ahead.

Some were sad to see longtime spots like Chevy’s and Red Robin depart, but the center owners hope that their replacements will be well received.

Del Mar native, local fitness instructor making waves in the blogosphere

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Local women may have attended her reformer pilates classes at Solana Beach’s BodyROK Studios, or area residents might have met her at Delicias Restaurant in Rancho Santa Fe, where she bartends several nights a week. But her local following is nothing compared to the thousands worldwide who visit her health and fitness blog, “The Skinny Confidential,” each day.

Del Mar native Lauryn Evarts is 26 years old and in one year has amassed a readership that many seasoned authors and publishers would be envious of. She gets some 35,000 page views a day and is ranked at the top of the fitness category on the site www. bloglovin.com, which keeps a registry of all the world’s most popular blogs.

A 2005 alumna of Torrey Pines High School, Evarts got the idea to blog about health and fitness while studying broadcasting at San Diego State University.

“I would get lunch at school and couldn’t believe how horrendous the options were,” said Evarts, who has modeled for several brands and publications, including Rusty Swimwear and Maxim magazine. “With 40,000 students and tons of sorority girls at SDSU, I was thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go online and modify each restaurant’s offerings to make them healthy?’”

Evarts decided to start doing the research herself. She gathered carbohydrate and calorie counts on all the fast food offerings on campus and started making up her own meals. She removed the bread from a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks, for instance, and she used hummus as salad dressing at Daphne’s California Greek.

When she graduated, she embarked on earning her nutrition license, and was poised to get her blog up and running.

“At first I just wanted to start a blog on modifications and substitutions,” said Evarts. “But it turned into being about so many things — lifestyle, balancing health and relationships, working out, eating. There are only so many hours in the day and to do everything and manage health is hard, so I am just trying to make things easier.”

What has really propelled Evarts’ popularity is her sense of humor, which is dry and sometimes even racy, she said.

“I just talk to readers like they are my girlfriends and I’ll talk about anything,” she said.

One of her most popular posts, for example, was about hav-

Lauryn Evarts ing a healthy hangover. In it, she urged people just to drink water and pull their [expletive] out of bed and get to the gym, even if it’s for 30 minutes.

“I try to present topics in a funny, approachable way,” she said.

The most interesting part of blogging, which has nearly become a full-time job for Evarts, is reaching out to people from all over the world.

“I am talking to girls in Sweden and Australia. I am talking to girls in Hong Kong — one girl didn’t even have access there to cucumbers,” she said. “We all live in different places, but at the end of the day, people are concerned about the same things. At the end of the day, all everyone wants is happiness.”

Evarts spends much of her time on social media and reaching out to big brands that will help connect her with the world.

“Companies have liked my blog and they help me promote it,” she said, adding that sponsorships and partnership, as well as

advertising, has made the blog profitable. “I’m very close to making this my full-time job, and I hope it will eventually be my career.”

Another thing that has made her successful is the surprisingly low number of fitness bloggers, she said.

“There are so many fashion bloggers out there, and you’d think there would be a lot of health and fitness bloggers, but there aren’t,” she said.

Next month, Evarts will be launching a YouTube Channel featuring tutorial and tips, and she said she would eventually like to publish both a recipe and fitness book. She also dreams of having her own TV show, and starting a delivery service for healthy foods, similar to Jenny Craig, but geared toward young women in their 20s and even teenage years.

“I talk to girls through the blog who are 15 years old and struggling with weight,” said Evarts. “That’s tough for girls who aren’t on their own and buying their own food.”

Evarts’ own fitness crusade began early in life, simply from growing up in a health-conscious family and health-conscious city. She was introduced to working out when her godmother invited her to a spin class, and she later fell in love with Pure Barre, a dance-inspired aerobic workout. Now, she says she’s “obsessed” with reformer pilates.

But Evarts says that working out is not just about her body — it’s also about how she feels. And when it comes to blogging, Evarts gets the most satisfaction out of helping her readers.

“I return every email I get, and I get 150 a day sometimes,” she said, adding that she recently received an email from a girl who said she lost 25 pounds by reading “The Skinny Confidential.”

“A lot of people are just not educated about health and it’s not their fault, so I just want to help.”

Over a number of nights they helped sort and box food for over 1800 families, the largest such program in the county.

They then helped distribute the items collected including, clothes, toys, blankets, bicycles, along with the box of food and enjoyed seeing the smiling faces on both parents and children. It gives great joy making the holidays a bit brighter for needy families.

Two films about autism to screen at Museum of Contemporary Art

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Two short films about the lives of autistic children will be shown at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, in Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla.

The films, “El Abuelo” and “With Me,” were produced by the La Jolla-based production company, Drama House. “With Me” stars a La Jolla boy with Asperger’s Syndrome.

After the films, there will be a panel discussion addressing Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with filmmakers and educators.

Autism now affects 1 in 88 children.

Though the screenings were planned long ago, Drama House Productions founder Patrick Scott said increased awareness of the condition is important since autism is in the spotlight after the school shooting in Connecticut.

Adam Lanza, the gunman who took the lives of 20 children, eight adults and himself, is believed to have had an autism disorder.

“The obvious concern is … there is going to be a witch hunt on children or people with autism after this tragedy in Connecticut, so it’s a real concern for everyone,” he said of those with loved ones who have an ASD. Scott produced the film “El Abuelo” in 2011, which is the story of a boy with autism who does

Panel Participants • Claudia Metcalfe, actress in ‘With Me’ and mother of a child with autism spectrum disorder • Cheryl Zak, executive director of The Arch Academy • Dave Florek, actor in “With Me’ • Dr. Joshua Feder M.D., Research director and professor at UCSD School of Medicine • Karen Shultz, President of Tender Loving Canines Assistance Dogs, Inc. • Patrick Scott, founder of Drama House Productions • Stephen Metcalfe, writer/director ‘El Abuelo’ not speak and befriends an elderly migrant worker who helps him “find his voice.”

“I got halfway through shooting ‘El Abuelo’ and I realized I didn’t know enough about autism.

So I started studying it … and it’s a disease that has many symptoms,” Scott said.

Stephen Metcalfe, whose son has Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of autism), wrote the script for “El Abuelo,” and helped Scott in his newfound need to study autism.

After educating himself and

after the success of “El Abuelo” – which won best local film at San Diego Latino Film Festival and honorary mention at the Los Angeles Movie Awards – Scott began work on “With Me,” which is based on the Metcalfe family’s experiences.

Claudia Metcalfe, Stephen’s wife, wrote the script for “With Me,” and when Scott read it, he said, “There’s no way I’m not producing this.”

The story of “With Me” is that of a boy who develops a connection with a service dog. “The idea to have a boy with autism who meets his first best friend in a service dog was a story too compelling not to tell,” Scott said.

The Metcalfe’s son, Wesley, starred in “With Me” and, despite the social anxiety that comes with having autism, Scott said Wesley blossomed on the set. This was in part due to filming at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Wesley’s favorite hangouts.

“It’s heartwarming to see what their talents are once you get to know them,” Scott said of his experiences. He added that part of what producers hope to show through these films is both the symptoms and talents that come with autism.

Admission at the door is by a suggested donation of $12.

Local resident’s support of Bread of Life Rescue Mission helps provide food and shelter to many in need •D onations welcome and needed

BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Cynthia Comerford is doing all she can to help the Bread of Life Rescue Mission in Oceanside, a non-profit providing daily meals to the homeless and a warm nightly shelter during winter months.

Along with her friend Willie Jackson, a deacon at Encinitas Church of Christ, Comerford held a Jazz Fest fundraiser on Nov. 10 to assist the mission that is under significant financial stress.

“They’re really at the point of critical necessity,” said Comerford. “We felt so compelled to put a benefit together as a way to make money and raise awareness for Bread of Life…I fell in love with this group.

They’re so compassionate with a skeleton infrastructure that is strong and solid but they can always use more.”

Bread of Life serves up about 10,000 to 15,000 meals a month and is run entirely by the husband and wife team of Raylene and Steve Bassett.

“Cynthia and Will have been really great,” said Raylene Bassett. “Cynthia asked about how donations come in and I told her that we have enough money for just one more month and then we will have to close our doors. She wrote a check that night.”

Bassett said Jackson and Comerford went into action right away planning the fundraiser.

“That was such a blessing and they have spread the word to so many,” Bassett said.

A member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, Bread of Life primarily serves the six cities of Oceanside, Vista,

Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido and Encinitas.

People come from all over to get a hot meal — Comerford spoke to one man who takes the train from Del Mar to Oceanside, retuning back to Del Mar to sleep under a bridge.

Bread of Life provides year-round evening meals and sack lunches, food boxes, clothing, personal care items and referral services.

As of Dec. 1, Bread of Life Rescue Mission was designated cold weather overnight shelter. Each overnight guest is provided with mandatory weekly professional case management and drug and alcohol testing.

Comerford likes that system, where people need to be clean and they take steps toward getting people help and back on their feet if they have substance abuse issues or other issues.

“They’re not allowed to come back until they’re 30 days sober, so they are compelled to stay dry,” Comerford said. “I like that they have control and that they know everybody that comes there. It’s like a big family, they know everybody by name.”

The small shelter can only accommodate 25 men and 25 women every night.

Jackson said he met a man through the program who said Bread of Life really changed his life.

“They really gave him what he needed to get back on his feet, it wasn’t just a handout,” Jackson said. “I was quite impressed with how people who went through the program have also come back to volunteer because Bread of Life had given them so

“Without Willie this fundraiser much.”

Comerford first found out about Bread would’ve never happened,” said Comerford.

“You’ll never find a volunteer more reliof Life when her son, a student at Cathedral Catholic, went to the mission to complete able than this lady,” echoes Jackson with a community service work earlier this year. A nod at Cynthia.

They agree they make a good team and few months ago on one of her volunteer sessions, she brought along her friend Jackson, hope to get another fundraising effort towhom she met 15 years ago in a tae kwon gether soon.

To Your Health: Keep Your New Year’s Fitness Resolutions

BY ANDREA KRAKOWER, SCRIPPS HEALTH Lose weight. Quit smoking. Spend an hour at the gym every day. Find a new job.

Resolutions like these are just a few of the thousands being made across the country as 2013 rolls in. While they’re made with the best of intentions, many of them fall by the wayside within months or even weeks of New Year’s Day. There are a number of reasons why many people find it so difficult to stick to New Year’s Resolutions. Here are some of the most common obstacles, and tips to overcome them.

Setting unrealistic expectations. You may truly want to spend an hour a day at the gym, but if you barely have time to take the kids to school, go to work, make dinner and tuck everyone in, finding that extra hour every day may be nearly impossible.

Instead, set more realistic goals that are easier to achieve. Maybe you can purchase workout equipment to use at home while the kids do homework or after they go to bed. Perhaps you could fit in several shorter workouts during the day between your other responsibilities. Make a list of all possible options, and you may find one that is actually do-able.

Making too many resolutions. This, too, can lead to failure. Instead of getting more exercise, learning to cook, saving money and spending more time with your family, pick one or two goals to focus on.

Otherwise, you may just be overwhelming yourself, and you won’t achieve any of

them.

Making resolutions that are too broad. Similarly, some resolutions become overwhelming simply because they are so broad. Finding a new job, for example, is a much more complicated task than something like skipping dessert or taking a 30-minute walk every evening. Moreover, this type of goal is also daunting because it isn’t completely in your control – even if you make every effort to find a new job, factors such as the economy, the job market and the qualifications of other applicants can all influence the outcome. Instead, break broad goals down into measurable steps. If your goal is a new job, vow to update your resume, join a networking group and learn to use social media to market yourself. These are all measurable, achievable goals that will give you a sense of accomplishment rather than frustration.

Not having a plan. If you’re resolving to spend less money eating out, decide how you can achieve that before New Year’s Day. Will you set a weekly or monthly limit on how often you dine out? Will you buy a cookbook, so that you can cook meals at home more often? Will you prepare meals advance, so you don’t realize at the last minute that you are out of food? Can your family members help with planning, shopping and cooking? When you know how your will achieve your goal, you are one step closer to doing it.

Going it alone. If your resolutions may affect other people, let them know what you plan to do in advance and ask for their sup-

port. For example, if you want to lose weight, ask others not to tempt you with desserts and junk foods. Recruit a friend to watch the kids while you go for a run.

Spend more time with people who support your efforts and celebrate your achievements, and avoid those who don’t. It also helps to associate with people whose lifestyles already reflect the changes that you are trying to make.

Expecting perfection.

Remember that change is a process, and it can be challenging. Give yourself permission to be imperfect. If you miss a workout or blow the job interview, don’t mentally beat yourself up or give up on your goal. Earn from your mistakes, think about how you can do better next time, and move on.

And when you do succeed, reward yourself.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion A New Year Forward MAYOR’S VIEW Let me first wish Del Mar a Happy New Year.

I have the honor of serving TERRY as Del Mar’s SINNOTT Mayor for Del Mar Mayor the next 12 months. This is a ceremonial role that is traditionally rotated each year between Councilmembers. The Mayor is asked to plan agendas, chair Council meetings and sign resolutions, but that is about it.

But the role does allow me to comment on City issues and what you can expect from our Council efforts in the months ahead.

In 2012, we saw the completion of the new Beach Safety Center, the renovation of the Shores temporary community building, and some progress in our efforts to improve the governance of the Fairgrounds. Work on the Torrey Pines Bridge is moving ahead smoothly. But we also experienced the intense community debate on the

proposed Village Specific Plan (VSP), which was defeated at the polls.

We have decided as a community that the VSP will not be implemented.

But the residual fallout leaves our City with the problem of how to move forward. We have two camps in Del Mar that are very strong in their positions. One camp does not want to move forward with any aspect of revitalization.

Another camp argues that we should move forward with those aspects of revitalization that were not controversial. This leaves the City Council with the difficult job of interpreting the community’s will, reaching consensus and setting priorities for the coming year.

We have a new Council with new perspectives and energy to tackle these choices. Al Corti and Sherryl Parks have joined the Council as new representatives of the community. Don Mosier returns for a second term, which will add knowledge and experience to our deliberations. All three will be a big help to Deputy Mayor Lee Haydu and myself as the Council sets goals and budgets for 2013 and 2014.

I will encourage the Council to focus on basic is-

sues facing the City; that we concentrate on creating some “small wins” for the community that will gain wide-spread support and enthusiasm for improving our City. I would also encourage our residents to talk to the members of the City Council and express your desires on how we can move forward as a City …. to tackle the problems we face. On Feb. 25, and again on May 13 and 14, the Council will be meeting to set new priorities and establish budgets for the coming two years.

Those decisions will be of higher quality if we have received constructive suggestions from as many members of the public as possible.

We also have a very talented, hardworking staff, led

by City Manager Scott Huth.

They are ready and responsive to work on those projects that are high on the community’s priority list.

That is why setting a clear set of goals and priorities will be critical in early 2013.

So we have our work set out before us in 2013. I am confident that Del Mar will be creative and constructive in moving forward in the coming year. Happy New Year!

Keep gun shows out of Del Mar In just 10 minutes of rampage, there was a massacre of 20 innocent 6- and 7-yearolds and six adults in Connecticut, at the hand of a crazy young man with an automatic weapon, who had already killed his own mother.

While many in our country may have become inured to the recent mass killings in high schools, movie theaters, a mall, a Sikh temple, this incident at the Sandy Hook elementary school seems to be a tipping point.

I hope so. Enough is enough – 20 dead children and their dead teachers, right before Christmas? That is what our country has come to?

We can be sad about it, we can be depressed, we can be frustrated, or we can get angry and take action – we can finally take action. We know that the Sandy Hook School murders were not just about the guns used – many issues collide: fewer resources for mental health care and screenings, a coarsened culture full of violence in video games, TV and movies. But guns are at the heart of the matter. A crazy person with a knife could not have killed all those children in such a short amount of time before being stopped by an adult. Such massacres are only possibly by a crazy person with weapon like a “Bushmaster AR-15” rifle and 30-bullet clips of ammunition that have no purpose other than to mow down human beings. Between 2000 and 2010, over two million of these rifles have been sold in America, including at places like Wal-Mart.

These and so many other military-type weapons have absolutely nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, despite the protesta-

tions of the NRA, which is now the mouthpiece for gun manufacturers more than sportsmen and women.

President Obama gave a powerful speech on Dec. 16 in the Newtown high school auditorium, and we should all take heed. “This is our first task – caring for our children. It’s our first job. If we don’t get that right, we don’t get anything right.

That’s how, as a society, we will be judged.

And by that measure, can we truly say, as a nation, that we are meeting our obligations?

Can we honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep our children – all of them – safe from harm? Can we claim, as a nation, that we’re all together there, letting them know that they are loved, and teaching them to love in return? Can we say that we’re truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose? I’ve been reflecting on this the last few days, and if we’re honest with ourselves, the answer is no. We’re not doing enough.

And we will have to change.”

So how can we change? Well, how about starting with the “Crossroads of the West” gun show that is slated to take place at our Del Mar Fairgrounds not once but twice in 2013 – in March and in October.

Look at their web site – in the scrolling images advertising the show, you see what are clearly assault rifles and tables full of high-capacity magazines of bullets (http:// www.crossroadsgunshows.com) — is this really what we want to feature in our historic, beautiful Del Mar Fairgrounds?

As a 27-year resident of Del Mar, I have

See SHOW, page 15

It continues...on...and on...

The residents of Del Mar have invested energy, time and money to defeat Proposition J. The City Council has invested money, City funds, to win. It appears we did not win because the Council has brought it back after cutting the number of residential units and attempting to get voter agreement by compromise.

The Council was warned in advance that if Prop J passed, we would, in fact, be ceding control over development in our City to developers. It was explained to them that the new State law that was passed in 2008, Government Code Section 65915-65918, allows developers to increase the density of commercial and residential development over the caps in our local zoning limits if they build any residential units in the downtown commercial zone of moderate, low and very low income housing units.

Measure B becomes a moot point the minute the downtown zoning is changed from Commercial to Commercial/ Residential. The council must then allow a zoning change the developers are waiting for in order to offer to build low cost housing that, at which point the State Law states, a City cannot refuse. Developers cannot get past Measure B and our General Plan without the zone change. This is why no housing should be allowed in our commercial zone. None.

The City Council appears to be trying to bypass the Proposition J vote and destroy Measure B. It is not fair, but it also is not against the law.

For the time being, our only recourse is to object strenuously by attending the Jan. 2 Planning Commission meeting. As one objector to the new plan to reduce the number of residential units said, “I no longer trust this Council.”

This Council is not obviously concerned with residential concerns. We passed Measure B in the 1980s to protect our control of land use in our town because of the heavy pressure to allow overdevelopment for the past 33 years in this small City that we’ve had to work rapidly to defeat. Since Proposition J was defeated, we thought we were safe and able to prevent the dismantling of Measure B. The Council has come back, along with the Planning Committee, with a pretend compromise to build only 20 residential units downtown. One resident fell for the compromise by announcing he thought there would be nothing wrong with only four housing units being built in the commercial zone. This compromise is a ruse. We cannot have even one or two built downtown or risk losing Measure B. I was told by a resident in Encinitas that we are lucky to have measure B in Del Mar to protect us. The residents of Encinitas objected to residential units being built in their downtown but had no Measure B. Their Council moved ahead with building the new Whole Foods market with the housing units above. Residents did not want additional housing units built in the commercial zone and removed the members from office in the last election. The new Council in Encinitas is working to develop a vote by residents to prevent further downtown over-development.

Let’s not throw away our protection by approving a second attempt to bypass the election results and dismiss our 1976 General Plan and Measure B. We are at a distinct crossroad, let’s not give in to a Council that has their own agenda. All we were asked to do is to report what we liked about the Specific Plan and didn’t like about the plan. This was an absurd attempt to develop the Specific Plan without input from the voters and property owners. Of course, the Del Mar Village Association was enthusiastic about the Specific Plan. It promised them increased profits. They did not want to hear from residents who had refused overdevelopment repeatedly in the past 50 years since becoming incorporated.

We now have been warned by our own City Attorney that we had better move quickly and get our low cost housing plan sent in to the State because the State is like a lion ready to pounce [on us]. Apparently our last two councils have been told many times to submit a valid plan for low cost housing. Our last two councils did not come up with an adequate plan other than second units on residential property that would change individual deeds promising low cost housing on our properties that bars family members.

The same people who have caused the delay are again insisting that we do not have to hurry. “We can delay for as long as it takes,” they declare.

Think about it. If we continue to delay, we have been warned that the State, by way of the Housing Commission, See CONTINUES, page 19

Education Matters/Opinion A correction and a call for compromise BY MARSHA SUTTON M y Dec. 20, 2012 column titled Marsha Sutton “Twenty dead children have to matter” – about the Newtown tragedy and the renewed debate over gun control – elicited reactions across the spectrum that reminded me how far apart we are in our views on the proliferation of guns.

Yet I also found reasons to be hopeful. Everyone without exception wants kids to be safe at school.

And almost everyone who wrote in agreed that sensible gun laws consistent from state to state (depending upon one’s definition of “sensible”) need to be combined with better and faster treatment of the mentally ill.

Violent movies and video games are also contributing factors, and most said ways to protect schoolchildren should be considered.

Clearly, several approaches are required. Gun control alone won’t do it.

Actually, nothing will do it completely, and that’s a fact.

But steps can be taken to reduce these horrific shootings, and we can make progress if we stop thinking they can be eliminated altogether.

Thanks to knowledgeable readers who clearly know a great deal more about guns than I do, I learned that gun laws in California have been tightened since I last visited the local gun show (which admittedly was a while ago and I’m still traumatized by the memory).

In my column, I wrote that it was easy to buy guns of all sorts at gun shows, “immediately, with little if any waiting period.”

Actually, there is a 10day waiting period, even for gun show purchases, which must be made through a licensed dealer, according to the Calif. Dept. of Justice Office of the Attorney General.

However, gun shows are still frightening exhibitions of killing machines, no matter how long buyers have to wait to receive their weapons.

And rules are not so stringent in other states. According to the Campaign to Close the Gun Show Loophole, about 40 percent of the 5,000 gun shows across the country each year allow

unlicensed sellers to sell guns without conducting a background check: “Although 17 states have taken action to partially or completely close this loophole, 33 states have not.”

So the overarching point of my previous column, that guns are far too easy to access, stands.

Some would repeal the Second Amendment. Others say all guns and all kinds of ammunition should be legal. Two extremes. Is there no place to come together in the middle and reach compromise? Most certainly.

Despite what some have charged, gun control supporters are not trying to “punish” citizens by taking away their constitutionally guaranteed rights. In fact, even many gun advocates support more responsible ownership and believe there are reasonable limits that should be placed on the right to own firearms, given how this right has been abused by criminals.

Gun owners are generally law-abiding citizens who also want, obviously, these murderous rampages to stop. After all, shootings give gun owners a bad name. So we are in agreement on that for certain.

This, at least, is a place to start.

In the world of public education and union/management negotiations, this sounds very much like interest-based bargaining, when both sides identify areas of common interest instead of first putting forth each side’s polarizing positions.

We agree for the need to treat violent, mentally unstable youth, uncover the causes of this condition, and prevent them from taking out their internal rage on innocent citizens.

And many on both sides believe that protecting schoolchildren from future tragedies may mean locked gates, bullet-proof windows, electronic lockdown mechanisms, metal detectors and backpack checks.

But none of this will help until we acknowledge that our country’s obsession with guns and firepower, easy access, and lack of proper training for novices, have contributed mightily to the rise in random mass killings of innocent citizens.

Guns are clearly a part of the problem. How big a part of the problem is the primary point of disagreement. And that’s positive because it means there’s room

for dialogue.

In several exchanges with gun owners, who were initially angry with me for advocating tighter gun control, it was encouraging to find some agreement.

One writer said California’s gun laws are sensible and have had an impact on gun safety and gun violence.

“There are states with no waiting period and no magazine size regulations,” he wrote. “All states need to be brought up to a uniform standard, and that standard should be something similar to California law.”

Another gun owner, after listing many reasons why gun control proposals are unworkable and when applied haven’t really had an impact, wrote, “I am in favor of mandatory firearm training for citizens who wish to purchase a gun, along with background checks at every pipeline a gun can be acquired.” He also objected to “the piecemeal, individual state requirements which are confusing, cumbersome, and promote illegal activity to circumvent certain states’ laws.”

Polarizing positions One lawyer weighed in on the issue from a constitutional perspective, referring the first line of the Second Amendment: “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state...”

“The founders were not concerned so much about an individual’s right to a private arsenal, as an individual’s responsibility to participate in collective national defense, should the government fail in that defense,” he said, offering an interesting interpretation on intent.

“It is notable but littleknown that the founders considered putting into the Constitution, right next to the Second Amendment, a related amendment which would have given individuals the right not to bear arms – that is, to be conscientious objectors, pacifists. This, obviously, is not in the Constitution, but its consideration does shed light on how the framers were thinking.”

A national conversation about the intent of the Second Amendment is important but will be unproductive if we all settle comfortably into our polarized positions and refuse to listen to one another.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

One Paseo concerns Note: The following letter was sent by the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board to San Diego City Council District One representative Sherri Lightner and to this newspaper for publication.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the recent additional concerns of the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board (TPCPB) regarding the proposed One Paseo Project 193036.

As you are aware, the TPCPB has extensive and significant concerns with the project as presented in the Draft EIR; our formal comments on the Draft EIR were copied to you at the time of issuance.

In the last few weeks, the media has reported that the sponsor of this project, Kilroy, has proposed a revised project plan of reduced scale of 1,400,000 square feet (SF). The original proposal was 2 million SF and the DEIR was set at 1,836,000 SF. The revised One Paseo data as indicated on their website shows Commercial Retail: 198,500 SF; Cinema: 48,000 SF; Corporate and Professional Office: 484,000 SF; Residential: 608 units (930,000 SF). It is unclear how the 1.4 million SF number was developed since the website details list above represent 1,660,550 SF. The information available on the proposal addresses none of the concerns of the TPCPB presented in our DEIR comments namely: •Risks to public safety from trucks removing excavated soil from the site •Degradation in emergency services response times, especially west of I-5 •Impact of additional population on school system •The inadequacy and limited scale of the traffic analysis (including a range of scenarios to address the multiple potential I-5, and SR-56 alternatives) •The misrepresentation of the project’s Smart Growth principles It is currently unclear how this proposed change to the project will be addressed in the EIR process and the TPCPB is very concerned that this proposal has been put forward to deflect the significant and substantive concerns identified in comments on the DEIR by presenting the false impression that this scaled down project addresses the concerns of community members.

TPCPB requests your support as the representative council member for our community in ensuring the following:

1) that the project EIR not be allowed to be finalized until community comments on the DEIR have been responded to appropriately and in a manner fully consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act, 2) that sufficient time (minimum of 90 days is requested) be allowed for thorough community review of revisions to the EIR including incorporation of this revised proposal, and 3) that the TPCPB and other community planning boards be kept informed on the review steps and schedule for any potential revision of the Carmel Valley Employment Center Precise Plan necessary for this project to be approved.

The TPCPB has concerns that because this project is backed by well-funded development interests that there is significant risk of this major project not receiving full and open review and consideration by community members. We look to you to ensure that this project is not “fast tracked” or otherwise given anything less than the full and proper analysis that is appropriate.

Dennis Ridz, chair Torrey Pines Community Planning Board

SHOW continued from page 14 asked the City Council to consider taking whatever measures necessary to ban this vulgar traveling road show of killing machines from our small town.

Del Mar is not that different from Newtown, Connecticut. If we, as one small town, stood up to the gun lobby, the gun dealers, the commerce of death that these gun shows represent, well, that would be a step in the right direction, wouldn’t it? Even if we could pressure this gun show to not sell any assault weapons or magazines of ammunition, that would be a start.

If a little revenue was lost, so be it. What are the lives of those 20 first-graders and six teachers worth?

Let’s tell the “Crossroads of the West Gun Show” to stay out of Del Mar. Just think: what if every municipality refused them a place to sell their guns? Maybe some of those guns would stay out of the hands of crazy people – because you have to be crazy to want to own an assault rifle.

Let the City Council and Fairgrounds know how you feel. We owe it to the children of Del Mar and the children of Newtown.

LAWS

continued from page 1 homeowner.

PARTY BUSES California will hold party bus operators to the same standards as limousine drivers, making them legally responsible for drinking by underage passengers. The law is named for Brett Studebaker, a 19-year-old from San Mateo who died in 2010 after drinking on a party bus and crashing his own vehicle while driving home later.

PRISONS Juveniles sentenced to lifetime prison stints in California have a chance of release after serving 25 years if they show remorse and spend time in rehabilitation programs.

Supporters of the bill argued that the U.S. is the only country in the world that sentences teenagers to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

GUN RIGHTS A new bill outlaws openly carrying shotguns and rifles on the streets and in the malls of California cities. A similar law last year banned the open carrying of handguns. The new bill does not apply to hunters, law enforcement personnel and others with specified licenses.

CHILD ABUSE REPORTING California coaches and administrators in K-12 schools, as well as higher education employees who have regular contact with children, will be required to report suspected child sexual abuse.

BROKEN PARKING METERS SB 1388 allows motorists to park at broken meters (up to the posted time limit) without fear of getting a ticket unless the local jurisdiction provides visible and adequate notice of any prohibitions at parking locations.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES AB 1536 clarifies existing law by allowing drivers to dictate, send, or listen to text-based communications while driving as long as they do so using technology specifically designed and configured to allow fully voice-operated, hands-free operation. Drivers under age 18 are still prohibited from using any electronic device while driving.

LICENSE PLATES AB 2489 prohibits a person from operating a vehicle with a product or device that obscures -- or is intended to obscure -- the reading or recognition of a license plate by sight or use of an electronic device (like a toll or red-light camera). The new law also prohibits a person from erasing, painting over, or altering a license plate to avoid visual or electronic capture of the license plate or its characters.

EXPRESS LANES AB 2405 exempts vehicles with special state-issued green and white stickers (all electric, natural gas, and “plugin” hybrid cars) from toll charges that single-occupant vehicles pay to access express or HOT (high occupancy toll) lanes.

Then, she was a working mom – teaching at The Bishop’s School and San Dieguito High School Academy for a short time before taking a job at the University of California, San Diego, where she worked for 23 years as a counselor in the medical school. At that job, her focus was community building among new students, many of whom underwent major transitions moving to the area from out of state or overseas, and in 1996, she was one of 13 employees – out of 13,000 campus-wide – to win an Exemplary Employee of the Year Award for introducing stressmanagement programs and launching a support group for medical students’ wives.

Parks hosted dinners several

live out here.

If you liked rolling hills and sagebrush we had plenty of both, we would see deer, coyotes and bobcats on a regular basis. I still have a photo of a mountain lion walking past my home in the middle of the day.

At one point I saw a notice in the paper that a new city was going to being planned here and San Diego was holding a meeting for community volunteers to start a Community Planning Board to add input. I went to that meeting and walked out being elected as the first chairperson. Be careful what you volunteer for.

Bob Rauch When I moved here with my wife Linda, North City West had just been named Carmel Valley and SR-56 was a two-lane Carmel Valley Road. That was in March 1991. Shortly thereafter, wanting to be involved in the positive development of a great new area, I ran for the Carmel Valley Planning Board. I won the election by one vote because I voted for myself! Three of us ran and the tally was 8-7-6. Clearly, I was the most popular of the three of us by a wide margin!

During the six years that I served as director and/ or president of the Carmel Valley Planning Board (1992-98), we saw over 100 projects come before us. Today, most are built and the board had the vision to approve only those projects that were truly “good development.” Sure, there were challenges like parking demand exceeding supply, a “walk-able” library that became a “drive-to” library and fights over what was deemed “good development.” The truth of the matter is that Carmel Valley has morphed into a very success-

times a year at her home in order to jump-start the women into a supportive social life to ease the stress of transition and alone time while their husbands finished school. To this day, she still keeps in touch with some of the women who she helped through the support group.

“They called me the Med School Mom,” Parks said.

Parks also served on the Del Mar Hills Elementary site council when her sons were in school, in addition to keeping up with their many various activities.

“You live and build the lives of your children and

ful area, one that is home to great companies, great people and great organizations.

It is a real hub of the legal, biomedical and communications technology sectors. We have open space, freeway access, superb schools and very high demand for living or having a business in Carmel Valley. Our hotels have been very successful, thanks in large part to both new and repeat business from the local community.

For 22 years, Linda and I have lived just off SR-56, the road that everyone said (myself included) would destroy Carmel Valley. Both our daughters attended Carmel Valley elementary schools, middle school and high school and have had wonderful academic and athletic experiences.

When I studied urban planning in college (prior to attending hotel school), I never thought I’d have the opportunity to actually make decisions on what entity might go into the community that I chose to live in for over 20 years. At the end of the day or 30 years, we have some great leaders in this community and we should be proud of what Carmel Valley has become even if the name is confusing and all the streets are named Carmel!

Pardee Homes Pardee Homes made its first purchases of land in Carmel Valley, known as North City West at the time, in 1968. The inventory of land increased to more than 3,000 acres. When the first model homes were opened in 1983, Pardee had 1,000 names on a waiting list that quickly grew to more than 4,000.

Beth Fischer, San Diego Division President for Pardee Homes, said, “Our founders looked at raw land and saw a clear vision of what would become one of the most desirable places to live in Southern California. We are honored to carry forward

then when they are strong and independent, the second half of life is new and exciting,” said Parks, who has taken on more responsibility in the community since retiring and becoming an empty-nester over the past decade. “Your kids are your life, and then when they grow up and you did a good job, you look for something else to do. Some people are fulfilled with creative things, but for me it’s service.”

According to Parks, women have a long life – meaning that mothers go through so many transitions. And while transitions can often be difficult, Parks

Pardee Homes has contributed significantly to the development of the Carmel Valley community. Its approach to responsible land development has included ensuring infrastructure such as schools and parks, as well as building trails and preserving open areas as part of its commitment to protecting the environment. Pardee has also supported numerous Carmel Valley organizations through donations to schools, events and teams.

“Pardee Homes is delighted to be a part of this great community,” said Fischer. “We are looking forward to celebrating the 30th anniversary of Carmel Valley and continuing to make it a great place to live.” said life has only gotten better as she has taken new paths.

“We have such rich little souls, but they have to be nurtured and stimulated,” she said. “Life is very rich if you keep listening to yourself … If you try something on and it doesn’t fit, you have to try something else on.”

As for stepping into a council role, Parks has now filled her calendar with civic meetings and she said she’s in the perfect spot in life to dedicate herself fully to public service.

“When I was considering running, I was thinking, ‘I’m middle-aged, but I’m

not done yet, and I can really bring something to the table,’” she said.

Understanding the people of Del Mar and knowing what has worked in the past and what doesn’t will be a huge asset to the council, she said, adding that patience will be key.

“I understand how to deal with the people of Del Mar to build a consensus and move forward,” she said. “You have to be a good listener and engage everyone. Just because you get it doesn’t mean that everyone is on the same page …

Sometimes it takes time to accomplish things, and I’m prepared for that.”

COMPROMISE Continued from page 15 out there who agrees with their views, and it feels good to have our positions validated in this way. But the more we are told we are right, the less inclined we are to open our minds to the ideas of others.

It’s of little value to become locked into intransigence, surrounded by those who think alike. This has contributed to the decline in civil dialogue, a tremendous barrier to progress.

This applies not just to gun control but to stubborn inflexibility on everything

January 3, 2013 from private property rights up to the national fiscal cliff debate.

We have to give up getting our way 100 percent of the time. And respectful disagreement that challenges us to think outside the familiar is integral to accomplishing anything constructive.

I still don’t understand why citizens should have the right to own militarystyle assault weapons or armor-piercing bullets, or why some consider it fun to hunt and shoot animals.

But I do respect the right of lawful citizens to buy guns, as long as they respect the need to be respon-

sible gun owners. And nearly all of them do.

In the wake of Newtown, we must work together on several fronts at once: sensible gun control laws at the federal level, better mental health treatment, ending the glorification of violence in the media, creating safer schools to protect against senseless attacks, and greater awareness of the compassion and love we all share for America’s children.

And keeping compromise and respect a fundamental part of any discussion.

Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

CONTINUES Continued from page 14 will order to reinstate Proposition J that we defeated assuming it was the same old delay tactic. This is a warning that we had better take seriously. We must insist 1) no downtown residential units, and 2) no delay.

Move quickly and get this taken care of immediately.

Any excuse that it was the Council that failed, not the residents, will not fly.

Send an e-mail immediately to Adam Birnbaum, planning department, requesting the above 1) and 2)

if you agree. Ask him in your e-mail to deliver to each City Council member and each Planning Commissioner. Or, better yet, come to the Planning Commission meeting and speak against 1) and 2). Their decision will be passed to the City Council and they will forward to the State. This must be prevented. It is the only way.

HOUSING Continued from page 6 ing in the backstretch is substandard, so the idea, while preliminary, would be a “winwin.” “They understand they need to provide decent housing and right now it’s not decent,” Emerson said.

In addition, the number of units that HCD has mandated Del Mar provide is partly driven by fact that the fairgrounds is the city’s biggest employer. “They understand that they are part of the equation,” Emerson said. “If they weren’t the biggest employer, we would have a lower number of units we’d have to deliver …

We are just hoping fair board will follow through, and right now they seem receptive.”

10 tips for living happier His father and nature inspire former lifeguard’s first book each day of the new year Todd Patkin grew up in Needham, Mass. After graduating from Tufts University, he joined the family business and spent the next 18 years helping grow it to new heights. After Advance Auto Parts purchased it in 2005, he was free to focus on philanthropy, spending time with family and friends, and helping more people learn how to be happy.

The following article is Glenn Vanstrum Photo/Diane Vanstrum based on his new book, “Finding Happiness: One Man’s Quest to Beat Depression and Anxiety and — Finally — Let the Sunshine In,” which was co-written with clinical psychologist Dr. Howard Rankin.

Patkin lives with his wife, Yadira, their son, Josh, and two dogs, Tucker and Hunter.

“I’ve given it a lot of thought and I’ve come up with 10 simple things people can do to become happier in 2013. You don’t have to do all of them at once — just focus on the three or four that resonate most with you and do those.”

1) If you don’t exercise, start.

You already know exercise keeps you healthy and helps you control your weight. But did you know it’s also a natural antidepressant? Even a 20-minute walk every other day is great for both your body and mind if you do it consistently.

And the good news is you can do it with your spouse or kids —and spending more time with them is another shortcut to happiness.”

2) Be easier on yourself.

A lot of New Year’s resolutions are little more than thinly disguised vehicles for beating yourself up. There’s nothing wrong with self-improvement but it needs to come from a place of love.

Many of us have a we’re-never-good-enough-or-doingenough mindset that’s antithetical to happiness. It’s not easy to change these ingrained thought patterns, but it can be done. And becoming aware of this tendency is the first step.

3) Find some way this year to put your gifts and talents to work.

Talent wants to express itself. If your job doesn’t allow it to do so, find something that does. Playing to your strengths brings real happiness, and when you combine those strengths with a desire to do something good, it’s a double whammy.

4) Strengthen family relationships.

Is your marriage running on autopilot? What about your relationship with your kids? Do you come home from work and sit in front of the computer while they play in another room (or worse, watch TV)? Too many Americans fail to engage their families in a meaningful way.

5) Celebrate your spouse.

See TIPS, page B14

A deep connection to nature and the desire to give a loving tribute to his father led Solana Beach’s Sebastian Slovin to write and publish a picture book, “The Adventures of Enu: The Tale of the Giant Whale.” Created in collaboration with Blaze Syka, who designed the vibrant pen-and-ink illustrations, the work is a modernday fable.

Combining poetic language with a simple story line, the book tells of a young boy’s adventure as he meets Enu, a shape changer, who appears in several forms from a hummingbird to a whale, and how he teaches the boy that everything in nature is connected. The book has an appeal to readers of all ages and teaches others to “live in the moment,” said Slovin, whose yoga business spreads that same message.

This is Slovin’s first endeavor in publishing. The idea for the book’s message percolated in his imagination for many years. It is based on a story that was told to him by his father who passed away, under tragic circumstances, when Slovin was 6 years old. His father was also the inspiration for the main character in the book. “A lot of my really good memories of my

py r! p a Ha Ye w Ne

His father and nature inspire former lifeguard’s first book. dad are being out on the ocean or in nature with him,” Slovin explained.

A South African native, who lived in La Jolla, his father was an athletic swimmer and after he died the family spread his ashes in the ocean at La Jolla Cove.

“From that time on I looked at nature as part of my family,” said Slovin, who grew up part-time in Australia and South Africa, but mostly in La Jolla. Slovin and his younger sister were raised solely by his mother.

“She was a single parent fol-

lowing a really bad situation but she raised us very well.

She is my hero,” he said.

As a teen Slovin discovered yoga to aid his flexibility for improved competitive surfing. He also discovered the philosophical and mental aspects of yoga which today he weaves into the activities he offers through his business, Nature Unplugged.

These are guided adventures that allow his clients to experience the richness of the natural world.

“I’m interested in encouraging people to find a spiritual connection in whatever they are doing, whether it’s walking or surfing, biking or yoga. You don’t have to go somewhere far away to have a big adventure,” said Slovin.

Slovin has traveled extensively and surfed competitively around the world, but three years ago he sustained a debilitating hip injury that prevented him from doing any rigorous sports.

“I found myself hanging out in San Dieguito Park in Solana Beach and that’s where the idea for the book all came together. I was forced to just sit, so the park became my inspiration.”

Both Syka and Slovin are former Del Mar lifeguards.

“That’s where we met and connected. He’s a wonderfully talented artist. It was a natural collaboration.

I’d sketch out my ideas and he perfected them,” said Slovin. Syka is a recent graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and now resides in Morro Bay. A book launch party was held in Del Mar on Dec. 21 attended by Del Mar lifeguards. Slovin plans to speak at local schools and to local organizations to spread his message of respecting and embracing nature.

The girls also participated in a holiday party celebrating and promoting the Big Sister-Little Sister bond in the chapter.

There must be 50 ways to lose your love handles The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As we ring in 2013, most of us carry some baggage from last year. I’m talking cottage cheese thighs, muffin tops, beer bellies.

According to a recent article in the journal Circulation, “reducing intake by 100 calories a day would prevent weight gain in 90 percent of adults by small increases in physical activity along with small changes in food intake.”

Here’s the skinny on trimming those calories that tend to creep up on us.

Brainy Breakfast Bites For a morning jumpstart and long-lasting fuel power have a complex carb like a whole-wheat bagel, toast or muffin. Instead of slathering on fatty butter or

cream cheese, swap it out with goat cheese or organic fruit preserves.

Chuck the sugary, highcal cereals for low-fat, highfiber, protein-packed oatmeal. Add a splash of almond milk, a drizzle of agave syrup and sprinkling of toasted walnuts, rather than cream and brown sugar.

Choose eggs soft boiled or poached rather than a cheesy omelet. Swap out oink bacon for lower fat turkey bacon, and jazz up savory breakfasts with salsa instead of sugary ketchup.

Finally, whole fruit is better than sugar-packed juice that wallops the pancreas first thing in the a.m.

Lunch Lightweights Salad and sandwich dressings like Ranch, blue cheese and creamy Caesar made with mayo and creambased artery-clogging monsters are best served on the side and used sparingly. Better choices are vinaigrettes with virgin olive oil or a sprinkling of Meyer lemon juice.

Lay off croutons, cheese and fatty nuts like cashews, substitute slivered almonds, toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Choose chicken, turkey, vegetarian or even lamb

SoCal Resolution Vinaigrette This calorie-conscious French vinaigrette is from the kitchen of Chef Bernard Guillas at La Jolla’s Marine Room.

Use it to jazz up salads or as a dipping sauce or marinade for chicken, fish or veggies. Happy New Year’s Resolutions!

Ingredients 1/4 cup avocado oil 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice 1 teaspoon agave 1 teaspoon minced shallots 1 teaspoon freshly chopped tarragon leaves 2 tablespoons chopped smoked alburgers over beef, and lose the bun! Sandwich the meat between crisp romaine leaves.

Skinny Suppers When dining out, order a couple of appetizers instead of a heavy entrée. For sides, opt for steamed veggies or protein-dense grains like quinoa or farro, and don’t give in to the temptation of a fully-loaded baked potato stuffed with globs of

butter, sour cream and crumbled bacon — probably more fattening than a heap of French fries.

Pick tomato-based Manhattan Clam Chowder over creamy New England-style, order grilled fish instead of deep-fried, choose goat cheese pizza rather than mozzarella, tomato or wine sauces over creamy ones.

Chicken breasts trump

dent vice. Easy on the whipped cream, butter cream and ice cream. Meringue trumps all of the above, same with sorbets and ices. A bowl of fresh berries with a balsamic drizzle beats them all.

Miscellaneous Fat Trimming •Eat a salad (with light dressing) before your main course to put the skids on calorie consumption.

•Get your zzz’s. Lost sleep hinders the burning of carbs and increases cortisol production that tinkers with appetite.

•Eat a daily handful of heart-healthy nuts to keep pounds at bay.

•Beef up protein. A lean high-protein low-carb diet will prevent muscle loss while dialing-up fat loss.

•Cut coffee calories.

Swap out frothy frappuccinos, lavish lattes and Irish coffees for fat-free herbal teas that warm the cockles of your heart, while energizing your soul.

Unhappy Hour Are you trying to justify the health benefits of a Pina Colada? The cocktail is liquid fat – a whopping 644 calories, despite its mother load of the essential fatty acid omega-6, protein and calcium from the coconut milk, the pineapple component giving an anti-inflammatory boost of bromelain and Vitamin C. White Russians and Chocotinis aren’t much better, while Margaritas and Long Island Iced Teas are worse.

For skinny swigs try a Mojito, a champagne sparkler or a pale ale (light beer).

Wine, whether white or red, is the most calorie-friendly libation. Fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free, this hearthealthy drink is a mere 20 calories per ounce, a 5-ounce glass only 100 calories. Another tip–sip from a champagne flute rather than a bulbous wine goblet to savor more and drink less.

Cheers!

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Bring the gym to you: Pilates 2 U provides private in-home lessons

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING When Renee Casanova arrives at your door with her Pilates 2 U reformer and mats in hand, out go the excuses.

“When I knock on the door, it’s time to work out,” said Casanova, the owner and trainer of Pilates 2 U. A traveling trainer, Casanova guides private in-home lessons, awakening deep muscles and elongating bodies in 50-minute sessions.

“Seeing people improve by being able to do more with their lives because of what I’m teaching them, seeing them become stronger from the inside out makes me feel so good,” Casanova. “When I see any kind of improvement, it’s so gratifying. People tell me ‘I’m standing up straighter,’ or ‘I think I’ve gotten taller’ or ‘I have more energy because I’m doing this’, that’s what I love most.”

Casanova has lived in Leucadia and run Pilates 2 U for two years, coming from the Los Angeles area where she had a studio in Marina del Rey. While she travels to clients now, she would love to eventually have a studio locally.

In addition to being a certified Pilates instructor for the last 10 years, Casanova is also is a certified core power yoga instructor and Zumba instructor, leading classes at LA Fitness.

Casanova comes from a background in dance and performed in musical theater in Los Angeles. She became a personal trainer but she didn’t like the type of workouts that involved.

“My body didn’t feel elongated like it did with dance, I felt tighter,” Casanova said. “When I went to Pilates I felt like it was dancing without all the pain of dancing.”

She loved the amazing feeling she got from Pilates and decided to become certified with Long Beach Dance Conditioning.

Renee Casanova provides private Pilates training with Pilates 2 U. Courtesy photo Casanova travels with her own Pilates reformer for clients to use or some clients may have their own at home. If preferred by the client, she also can do matonly Pilates workouts.

Pilates can help bodies

in all kinds of ways, according to Casanova — it improves core strength, promotes better posture and sharpens that mind-body connection.

Casanova said every movement done during Pi-

lates requires you to concentrate on the muscles to make the movement happen.

With New Year’s resolutions around the corner, Casanova said Pilates would be an excellent way to “make

yourself strong and invincible.”

For Casanova, Pilates was a huge help after giving birth to her daughter Madison eight years ago. After her pregnancy she said she felt like a truck had hit her, but she knew she could return to the exercise that forced her to find her deep abdominal muscles and get her strong again.

“Even if you have never taken a Pilates class before you had a baby, it’s a great way to get back into life gently but effectively,” Casanova said. “Pilates teaches you about your body and what it needs to stay injury free.”

Breakfast, lunch are served Spanish-style at Estancia Hotel’s Adobe El Restaurante

BY KELLEY CARLSON ust a stone’s throw from busy Torrey Pines Road, Adobe El Restaurante is ensconced in the peaceful oasis of Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Breakfast and lunch are served in this Spanish-themed dining establishment that overlooks the resort’s courtyard.

The open-air balcony is often in high demand, especially during the morning hours, as guests sip java to clear the fog in their heads and become further invigorated by the ocean breeze.

“Most guests on decent days love to sit on the patio,” said Danny Fancher, director of food and beverage at Estancia. “San Diego has great weather, which is always helpful. It’s beautiful (the patio). You don’t see any roads. Here, it opens up, there’s a fountain and it’s lush and green everywhere.”

While the patio offers natural beauty, the spacious indoor dining room has its own allure. It features a dark-wood ceiling, brick and paintings of flowers along creamcolored walls. Multi-paned doors permit a glow of light to bathe the tables. There is a horse stall-style door near the entrance — a nod to the property’s history as a former equine estate.

Once seated, patrons are presented with rustic, copper-hued menus listing an assortment of foods, from classics to specialties.

According to Fancher, guests gravitate most toward the sizable Blackhorse Breakfast with two eggs any style, roasted poblano hash, blue corn pancakes and a

The morning specialties have more of a Spanish influence and are presented with house-made salsa. These include the Huevos Rancheros with cheese quesadilla, parmesan, tomato sauce and black-bean puree; and the Chilaquiles, created with scrambled eggs, roasted-tomato chile negro sauce, crispy tortillas, cilantro, sour cream and queso fresco.

Lunch takes more of a farm-to-table approach, mainly consisting of sandwiches, salads and soups. The healthy fare is especially favored by neighboring Salk Institute and UC San Diego employees, and

the majority of people dining at that time of day are not in-house guests.

Among the light favorites are the Smoked Salmon Nicoise Salad with Belgian endive, frisee, fingerling potato, haricot vert, Bermuda onion and crispy capers with the thinly sliced fish; and the Grilled Free-Range Chicken Salad garnished with Julian apples, Medjool dates, candied walnuts, Manchego cheese and whole-grain mustard vinaigrette.

Other lunch entrees include the Portobello Burger with butter lettuce, feta cheese, balsamic aioli and olive tapenade that is sandwiched in a buttermilk bun.

The desserts can appeal to patrons of all ages, as there are temptations such as the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee and Molten Chocolate Lava Cake.

PROMOTE your band

TIPS continued from page B1 And speaking of your marriage, how is it? If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mired in negativity or characterized by bickering or tension, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be happy. The good news is that it may not take a lot of effort to dramatically change the tenor of your marriage. Random acts of kindness are always powerful, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even truer inside a marriage.

6) Let the people you appreciate know it.

Yes, of course you need to let your close friends and family members know how you feel about them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a given. But what about your coworkers? Your barber? Your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher?

The neighbor who keeps an eye on your house when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away?

Most of us are too selfconscious to make a big fuss over the people who are sort of on the periphery of our lives but who nonetheless make a big impact, Changing that stance is a key component of happiness. Be generous with hugs. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not the hugging type, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, try thankyou notes instead. Letting

people know how grateful you are for what they do makes two people happy: them and you.

7) Forgive someone who has wronged you.

This is the other side of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgive yourselfâ&#x20AC;? coin.

Just as you deserve a break, so do other people. And forgiveness is, at its heart, an act of self-love. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go of pain and anger, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy.

8) Become a giver.

Happiness is not about how much you make; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about how much you share.

If you have good health, a sound mind, and as little as an hour a week to spare, you are truly fortunate. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tutoring kids who need a helping hand or delivering hot meals to the elderly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great joy to be found in giving. Many people know this intellectually; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just never put it into practice. Make this the year you do it. Just give up some of the time you waste in front of the TV or mindlessly surfing the Internet.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sacrifice at all.

9) Take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;baby stepâ&#x20AC;? toward finding some faith.

This year, make a conscious effort to think a little

bit more about your faith, perhaps check out a few different places of worship, or maybe read a couple of spiritual books. Happy people have a connection to a Higher Power. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure there even is one, make this the year you do some honest exploration.

10) Make 2013 a year of gratitude.

If you make only one change in 2013, make it this one: Work to be more appreciative in general. Gratitude covers a lot of territory.

When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for your family, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll treat them better. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for talents, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use them. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for your health, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work to maintain it.

All of these add up to happiness.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ironic: Most of us have everything we need to be happy. The tragedy is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleepwalking through life without really noticing that truth. If we could learn to live with an attitude of gratitude â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for our kids, our homes, our friends, our health, the food on our tables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry about finding happiness. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be living it every day.
