One Paseo meeting draws overflow crowd •Variety of strong opinions voiced

■ CV now home to well-traveled canine ambassador.

See page 8

BY KAREN BILLING Everyone has a passionate opinion on Kilroy’s proposed mixed-use development One Paseo in Carmel Valley — even new San Diego Mayor Bob Filner.

The proposed One Paseo project would be located at Del Mar Heights Rd. and El Camino Real, across from the Del Mar Highlands Town Center (just south of Rancho Santa Fe).

Filner stopped by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s (CVCPB) overflow crowd of more than 400 people at Canyon Crest Academy on Jan. 24 to state his opposition to One Paseo. Filner said that Kilroy’s re-

quest to build larger than the 500,000 square feet they are entitled to amounted to breaking the contract agreement of the community plan.

“I don’t understand how anyone starts off with four times what the community plan says. I don’t know how you start with that,” Filner said.

“It’s now reduced to 1.4 million, so now it’s three times what the plan says…I think this is an incredible expansion of what the community had in mind and I don’t see any reason to reform the contract that we had in See PASEO, Page 6

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Parking is slowly opening back up along Highway 101 in Solana Beach, and contractors are still committing to wrapping up the entire Westside Improvement Project before the San Diego County Fair opens on June 8, city officials said on Jan. 23 That culmination date is four months ahead of the scheduled October completion, said city manager David Ott, adding that the contractor recommitted to a rain-or-

shine June completion during a public town hall meeting on Jan. 23.

For the next few weeks, traffic will remain in one lane heading southbound on Highway 101 while northbound will remain two lanes.

The diagonal parking that is now open is a new feature for the 101 and is only temporarily striped at locations with no active construction planned until the end of the See 101, Page 20

DMUSD grapples with how to finance needed technology

BY KAREN BILLING At the Del Mar Union School District’s Jan. 23 meeting, the board heard an update on how students are using technology in the classroom in a purposeful and meaningful way, as well as the challenges the district faces in getting devices into the hands of every student.

Shelley Peterson, assistant superintendent of instructional services, and Mike Casey, director of technology, aim to ensure that every student uses technology to develop 21st century skills within a safe and se-

cure digital environment.

A big key is also professional development to ensure teachers are fluent and able to integrate the curriculum successfully.

“Rather than teachers thinking of technology and what I teach, it’s thinking what I teach and using technology to make it happen in an exciting way that speaks to the children,” Peterson said. “We’re now speaking the student’s language. This is the way they know to communicate with each other and they do it well.”

Del Mar looking into creating its own police force

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Establishing its own police department may be a feasible option for Del Mar, but according to a city finance committee report, it’ll cost at least $1.5 million to get off the ground — and City Council members say that sounds like a low estimate.

“The better service you want the more you’re going to have to pay for it and none of it’s cheap,” Councilman Don Mosier said.

Only moments before unanimously renewing a five-year contract with San Diego County for Sheriff services, the Del Mar City

Council on Jan. 28 approved soliciting consultants to conduct an estimated $20,000 initial study on creating an in-house police department. The effort to possibly break away from the county’s law enforcement arm follows a recommendation from the finance committee, which was asked by the council to review Del Mar’s options after its contract with the county expired in June 2011.

Del Mar will pay more than $1.76 million in law enforcement services for 2012-2013 — a contract See POLICE, Page 22

Thieves steal iPads from Del Mar Heights School

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Three Riverside County men were jailed in San Diego Jan. 30 after allegedly getting caught at a Temecula-area Border Patrol freeway checkpoint with more than two dozen iPads and other electronics stolen during a break-in at Del Mar Heights Elementary School.

Thomas Earl Burleson, 20, Trevor J. Williams, 21, and Eyon Zimmerman, 19, pulled into the Interstate 15 inspection station in a northbound Lexus shortly after 2:30 a.m., according to police.

During a search of the vehicle, agents found the 29 high-end Apple tablet computers, along with a laptop and a projector, and determined that they belonged to Del Mar heights School, SDPD public-affairs Lt. Andra Brown said.

Williams, of Moreno Valley, and Burleson and Zimmerman, both of Hemet, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property.

After being notified of the arrests, San Diego police learned that the school had been broken into and looted sometime earlier in the morning or during the previous evening, Brown said.

Six schools in North County have been hit in a series of school burglaries since Dec. 29, including Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach.

Local woman sentenced for drowning son

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A Carmel Valley woman who drowned her 4-year-old autistic son in a bathtub in March, then drove his lifeless body to a police substation where she admitted the crime, has been sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison.

Thirty-seven-year-old Patricia Corby pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her son, Daniel.

Solana Beach to revisit Solana Beach train station project to return to the table after years of rest plastic bag ban

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Solana Beach City Council will be revisiting the plastic bag ban it passed last May, after councilman Tom Campbell on Jan. 23 requested to have the ordinance — namely its requirement that businesses charge 10 cents for a paper bag — agendized for a future date.

The request came after former Solana Beach Mayor Celine Olson voiced her concern to the council, saying that she supported getting rid of plastic bags, but the 10-cent charge for paper bags is going too far.

“My request is that you remove the tax, which I consider it to be, that’s imposed and stop making stores lose business,” Olson said. “Management and employees have admitted to the loss of business, and as a matter of principle I will not pay to carry my products home.”

She added that fabric bags contain bacteria if they are not washed after every use, and she therefore prefers not to use them. Councilman Peter Zahn asked that the city, when revisiting the ordinance, look further into safety issues.

City Manager David Ott said it’s not the bags that cause bacteria, but the vegetables people put in the bags, however, once introduced the bacteria can exist in the bags.

Councilman David Zito also asked that the city do an analysis of sales tax revenues to examine whether businesses have lost money due to the ban.

Ott said that a plastic bag ban is now being discussed at the state level, and the 10-cent fee is included in that proposed law. He added that it was the California Grocers Association — not Solana Beach — that thought up the 10-cent fee, which was included in the ordinances of seven other jurisdictions that imposed the ban last year.

Olson said she doesn’t want to pay 10 cents that could be subsidizing advertising on paper bags, when it likely costs the bag manufacturer a fraction of that fee to make each bag.

“Please modify the law and say ‘no’ to plastic and ‘yes’ to paper — free paper bags,” she said.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Solana Beach and local transit officials will be once again focusing their attention on a possible train station project on the 5.7-acre site at Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Cedros Avenue, an effort that was abandoned several years ago after local and regional officials couldn’t come to a consensus on a vision for the site.

The North County Transit District (NCTD), which owns the long corner lot that extends from Lomas Santa Fe north through the 300-space commuter parking lot, is waiting on approval from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to reappropriate funding for the project. Solana Beach Mayor Mike Nichols said a request for proposal (RFP) could go out as soon as March to solicit potential contractors for design and construction.

Nichols said the NCTD/Train Station Site Ad-Hoc Committee — which includes Nichols, Councilwoman Lesa Heebner and local resident and developer David Winkler — has been holding meetings with NCTD over the past year to hammer out what they want out of the project. He said Solana Beach officials have been told by NCTD that the ad-hoc committee’s development guidelines, in addition to the citycommissioned drawings by architect John Gish that they support, will be included in the RFP guidelines. Both Gish and Winkler are highly respected for their successful design and development of the Del Mar Plaza.

“We’ve always wanted a project there; we just want it to be appropriate in scale and be a reflection of the community,” Nichols said. “We want to see some life there; we are just trying to hash out what that means.”

Nichols also said there has been talk among Solana Beach officials regarding the unique, dome-like train station building and the possibility that it could be used for a new purpose, such as a restaurant or public space. He said it is currently only used for ticketing, which could possibly be relocated to a lower platform. As is, inconveniences could See TRAIN, page 20

New Encinitas Sheriff’s Captain eager to tackle challenges

BY JOE TASH As a college student, Robert Haley majored in math and played football, and intended to become a teacher and coach. But all that changed when he went for a ridealong with Oceanside police more than 30 years ago.

He found the experience so exciting that he began to think about a career in law enforcement.

“That kind of got the ball rolling,” said Haley, who was recently promoted to the rank of captain in the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and took over in January as head of the department’s Encinitas office.

In his new role, Haley, 51, is essentially the chief of police for the cities of Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar — which contract with the Sheriff’s Department for police protection — as well as unincorporated areas such as Rancho Santa Fe. Haley has spent the past three weeks getting to know people in the communities he now serves, from city officials to school superintendents to members of local public safety committees and service groups.

He embraces the department’s philosophy of using computer-generated crime data to focus resources on problem areas, called “intelligence-led policing,” and also believes it is important to find out what the community wants from its law enforcement agency.

While he and his colleagues may have ideas of where to focus their efforts based on their own knowledge and experience,

community members have other priorities, said Haley.

“We serve them, it’s imperative to get their feedback,” he said of community residents.

To that end, Haley said, he’s happy to talk with residents who call or stop by the Encinitas station at 175 North El Camino Real. Captain Robert Haley A m o n g Photo/Jon Clark the issues high on his radar as he begins his new assignment, said Haley, is dealing with a significant number of alcohol-related drives, such as driving under the influence. The area served by the Encinitas station has the highest number of DUIs — just under 600 per year — of any Sheriff’s Department command, Haley said.

Deputies are working with local businesses that serve alcohol, the state department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and even interviewing offenders to determine the reasons behind this statistic, so the problem can be addressed, Haley said.

Kaiser Carmel Valley to open by summer

BY KAREN BILLING Construction is underway on a new Kaiser Permanente office in Carmel Valley, set to open by the summer.

Located on Carmel Creek Road near the San Diego Jewish Academy, the office will provide primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, pharmacy, a women’s center, after-hours care and other medical specialties.

The building will have green features to facilitate healing and provide a more comfortable environment, according to Molly Jarrell, senior manager of corporate communications for Kaiser Permanente San Diego.

The architecture will incorporate natural light — energy-efficient equipment and high-performance window glazing will reduce heat loss, according to Jarrell.

According to Land Lab, the landscape architecture firm that is working with Hanna Gabriel Architects, the building will complement the unique surrounding habitat with the use of native plants and by preserving and enhancing the adjacent wetlands area.

Professional Yo u t h Theatre is hosting a W i n e a n d Cheese FundraisAaron Acosta er to benefit “Slingers,” a feature film cast and shot in San Diego using local children.

Aaron Acosta, who attends Carmel Valley Middle School, has been cast as the lead in this film. Aaron has previously appeared at the Old Globe in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and the world premiere of Limelight (aka Chaplin) at La Jolla Playhouse. His film credits also include the lead role in “Never Give Up.” The Wine and Cheese will be held on Feb. 9 from 7-9:30 p.m. in a private home and will feature a special performance by Megan Starr-Levitt, “Christine” from Broadway, Las Vegas and national tour productions of “The Phantom of the Opera.”

Bipolar FBI informant gets a second chance at life

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The real Dr. Mark Whitacre, subject of the film “The Informant,” starring Matt Damon, told his incredible story on Jan. 24 at a luncheon sponsored by the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) at Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa. The meeting room was packed with friends and supporters seeking knowledge and hope for loved ones suffering from this diverse and often stigmatizing mental illness.

Whitacre’s brilliant career unraveled as the highlevel corporate executive turned whistle-blower for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during the infamous 1990s Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) price fixing investigation. The stress of playing such a serious game fueled his undiagnosed bipolar condition to a meltdown.

Muffy Walker, IBPF president, spoke first at the event. “The International Bipolar Foundation was founded six years ago by four mothers [including Muffy] who have children with bipolar disorder.” They were having difficulty navigating local resources and thought about the hundreds of thousands of other strug-

gling people and their families. Since June 2007, their nonprofit organization has gone global. “Our mission has remained the same,” Walker said. “We work towards finding a cure for bipolar disorder through the advancement of research, enhance care and support services, and educate the public regarding stigma and discrimination against those with mental illness.”

Diagnosing his bipolar condition took 38 years for Whitacre, who, looking back could see the warning signs at age 18. At that time, bipolar worked to his advantage.

After a mere two semesters and taking Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), academic advisors at Ohio State told him, “You’re finished with your bachelor’s degree.

You’re starting your master’s degree tomorrow.” Whitacre said, “I walked out of that room thinking, I’m a really smart guy. I’m going to make millions with this intellect.” At Cornell University, he was told, “Mark, you’re the youngest guy we’ve ever seen get a Ph.D. in biochemistry.”

Because of all the rewards and accolades he’d received Whitacre said, “That set me on a track that I was going to be the youngest

IBPF President Muffy Walker with Dr. Mark Whitacre.

and best at everything.” He signed up for correspondence courses, and night and weekend classes — getting an MBA, a law degree, a masters in law, a Ph.D. in both psychology and economics — in total nine degrees, six of them doctorates. “I only needed three hours of sleep – I could study all night. My wife [Ginger] never understood.”

His manic behavior brewed into the perfect storm. At age 32, he became the fourth highest ranked and youngest divisional president in the history of Archer Daniels Midland, the 56th largest Fortune 500 Company in America. ADM was the biggest grain producer, with revenues (then) of $70 billion. “I went from obsessed with education to obsessed with my job,” Whitacre said.

Whitacre was rising to the top in ADM when he was caught up in flawed corporate ethics and an illegal price fixing conspiracy with foreign competitors. Prices were fixed artificially high and productivity low, cheating consumers of billions of dollars.

Ginger spurred Whitacre to tell the FBI the whole story and he agreed to become an informant – in exchange for the FBI’s protection.

“I met the FBI agents every morning at 6 a.m. for three years. They shaved my chest and strapped a microphone on it. I couldn’t take off my jacket Monday-Friday all that time.” He had three different recorders documenting conversations and meetings all over the world. “All those years, I didn’t know who I was — ADM executive or FBI informant. You add bipolar on top of that and it took me to the psychotic and delusional level.” Keeping secrets and telling lies became the norm.

Wife Ginger knew something was desperately wrong as stress ballooned.

“As fast as the leaves were falling, I found Mark outside blowing leaves in the rain at 3 a.m.,” she said. She encouraged Mark to get back

to his family and back to God. Whitacre claimed he had no need for God – that he [Mark] had all the power.

The FBI’s key witness recounted his next obsession, shocking his FBI counterparts and jeopardizing the entire case. While still working as an untrained informant he worried about the repercussions for his family and future and began embezzling millions into his own bank accounts. “I had a greed problem and I had bipolar and it was about to become a train wreck.”

It wasn’t until after his undercover years, when Whitacre tried to end his life twice, that he was finally diagnosed, just before he entered federal prison for fraud and tax evasion. He lost everything and spent nine years in a 10 x 10 cell with a locker, with limited treatment. “I never saw a psychiatrist in nine years, but it was OK — it was a very controlled environment.

You either come out bitter or better.”

Empathy in the IBPF luncheon room was palpable. Dr. John Reed, co-chair on the Scientific Advisory Board for IBPF, stood up and said, “Bipolar is a guessing game. It can take up to five

different medications and then nothing may work.

There’s not just one bipolar disorder.”

“I don’t know if I could have lived without my family staying with me,” Whitacre’s voice crackled with emotion each time he mentioned Ginger. “My wife put a whole new meaning into standing by her man. I sure didn’t make her life easy.”

Additionally, Whitacre said, “The divorce rate is 99 percent if you serve five years or longer [in prison]. Mine visited 20 hours every weekend with my children. We’re celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary this year.”

Billions in anti-trust fines have been paid to the U.S. government since Whitacre first blew the whistle in 1992. Dean Paisley, former FBI agent who worked the ADM case, said, “Mark Whitacre is a national hero. He wasn’t recognized for the biggest antitrust case in the country.

That’s wrong.” Because of him, Whitacre says the FBI has improved methods.

“They don’t let anyone wear a wire longer than a year and every quarter they have the informant get psychological and psychiatric assis-

CCA filmmakers learn invaluable lessons making documentary ‘So Broke It Hurts’

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy filmmakers are telling the story of a homeless man living on the streets with his wife and children.

“So Broke It Hurts” is directed by senior Trevor Thernes, who had the idea for the film. Thernes made the documentary with help from his film crew, juniors Richard Duan and Olivia Aquilina and sophomore Alan Moutal.

“I’ve always wondered when I see people standing with signs, are they trying to scam us or are they down on their luck? I wanted to investigate what it’s like to do that,” said Trevor.

The film will officially premiere at Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema’s Film Festival on May 17. The Envision film conservatory meets for two hours after school three times a week and with 28 students in the program, this is the biggest group the school has ever had, according to instructor Mark Raines.

“These students are really into film and that helps,” Raines said of the students’ commitment and enthusiasm. “It’s great preparation for college and the real world and I think many of these students will pursue this career field or something related.”

The film’s title takes its cue from the words on a sign held by a homeless man named Roy. Trevor and his fellow classmates frequently saw Roy and his sign where he stood outside of Del Mar Highlands Town Center.

In the Envision cinema conservatory, all of the students pitch film ideas and then Raines and the students whittle the ideas down to the seven that they feel they can produce the best.

“So Broke It Hurts” was one of three documentaries in the mix of narrative films that are being created.

“It was a story I felt hasn’t been told before,” Raines said. “This was someone the kids all knew, they’d all seen him and we wanted to try to find out what his story was because you don’t see as many homeless in this part of the city. I think the students went in with a different idea than what they came out of with.”

Finding a subject willing to be filmed was an initial challenge, but Roy was happy to share with the students.

“Roy wanted to get his story out there,” said Olivia. “He wants things to change government wise.”

Once they had Roy as their subject, pinning him down for interviews or filming

was a challenge because his status was unpredictable. It was a lot of “hurry up and wait” because it was hard to get in touch with him.

“That’s a very real world experience so that’s great for them,” Raines said of the complications of documentary filmmaking.

The team worked with him on and off since October and did four shoots with him, one of them involved traveling down to his encampment in San Diego River near Qualcomm Stadium.

Raines advised that an adult be with the film crew when they traveled to Mission Valley.

“It was very eye-opening experience,” said Richard after seeing and hearing from Roy how dangerous the area can be.

“It just makes you appreciate where you live, especially in a place like Carmel Valley,” Olivia said.

The team’s new challenge is now working with the large amount of footage to create the film that has to be a maximum of five minutes.

As Alan said, you can splice clips together in any number of ways to change the whole style or message so you really have to know the story you want to tell.

Trevor posted a rough cut on You Tube and it has already racked up 463 views.

“We’re trying to answer as many questions as possible,” Trevor said. “When people see the rough cut, they always want to know more about him.”

Out of the whole experience, the most surprising thing the students learned was Roy’s advice on how to handle the homeless: Roy said not to give them money and to call the police because many just want the money to buy drugs or alcohol.

“Roy says he’s the exception because he’s clean,” Trevor said. “What he wants is an RV so that he can have a permanent address to get a job. He already has a spot in a RV park that he got cheaply and he wants to be able to start working.”

Roy hasn’t been at the Highlands as much anymore because the center security strongly enforces the center’s solicitation policies. The film crew hasn’t seen Roy since their last interview but they hope to share the film with him somehow once it is complete.

“This documentary I feel has a chance to change a lot of people’s viewpoints and I hope in the end Roy meets his goal and gets his life back together,” Richard said.

PASEO continued from page 1 mind with the city of San Diego.”

As it is an advisory board to the San Diego City Council, the Carmel Valley planning board will make a recommendation on One Paseo at its Feb. 28 meeting.

The City Council will have the final say.

San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who also does not have a say in the final project, also attended the meeting and expressed his dislike of One Paseo as it is currently designed.

“I personally believe that the project still does not fit the community character of Carmel Valley,” Roberts said. “We all understand what quality of life is and what quality of life isn’t. A project three times the zoning doesn’t work for this site.”

One member of the audience said she felt it was “disheartening” that the city and county representatives made their case against One Paseo before hearing any of the community input and also when they don’t have a vote in the project.

District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner was also in attendance, although she stated she could not take a stance on the project until it comes before City Council.

Those in favor of the project wore “I support One Paseo” stickers while opponents donned ones that read “Save Carmel Valley.”

Frisco White, CV planning board chair, allowed 45 minutes of public comment for the project and 45 minutes against, and attempted to maintain a level of respect between the two sides.

The planning board was reviewing the revised One Paseo plans for the first time since seeing Kilroy’s draft environmental impact report (DEIR) plan version in May. “Over the last five years we’ve had thoughtful, constructive discussions to ensure One Paseo fulfills the needs and goals of the community,” said Steve Scott, senior vice president of Kilroy.

Scott said they have heard and tried to address concerns about traffic, building heights, walkability, sustainability and bringing Trader Joe’s to Carmel Valley.

“You’d be surprised at the number of comments that wanted us to bring Trader Joe’s to the community,” Scott said, in response to some audience grumbling. “We feel our revised project is compatible and balanced with the community.”

The project has been reduced to 1.4 million square feet, down from 1.8 million in Kilroy’s DEIR proposal, and down from 2.1 million of the original proposal.

Kilroy has eliminated the hotel element and will provide 246,500 square feet of retail and 484,000 square feet of office space, including a “Main Street” and anchor tenant Trader Joe’s.

The project also includes 608 residential units.

The revision lowered building heights and increased open space 10 percent; there are now over 5 acres of open space and 2 acres of public plazas, according to Kilroy.

“This is a new plan that we believe creates a very vibrant mixed use village,” said Robert Little, Kilroy’s vice president of development. “This lot has been vacant for 25 years and this is an opportunity to do something special for the community here.”

Board members said that no one is opposed to the project concept, calling the renderings “spectacular” and noting no one thinks just 500,000 square feet of office space at that location is the best thing for the community; it’s the size and the impacts that has most people worried.

Talking traffic Project opponents and board member Laura Copic were skeptical about the findings of One Paseo’s traffic report.

Paired with intersection improvements and Kilroy’s pledge of $6 million toward a traffic signal synchronization system, it is Kilroy’s belief per the traffic study that the cumulative delay along Del Mar Heights Road will not change by more than one minute after traffic improvements are implemented and the project fully built out.

Of the 34 local intersections studied around the project, only five will experience a potential delay of more than five seconds in travel time during peak hours, according to Kilroy’s traffic study.

Planning board member Chris Moore asked how much more is “more than five seconds”—the data was not available that night and the board requested to see it at its next meeting.

According to Kilroy’s traffic study however, some intersections will improve and none will drop to an unacceptable level of service.

“Looking at this traffic study you would think there are very few impacts at all, just seconds of delay,” Copic said. “You’re saying the state-of-the-art signalization improvements will solve everything and I

think that’s disingenuous.”

Denis Finigan, president of Urban Systems Associates who completed the traffic study, said the project looked at the corridor as a whole and sought to fix existing problems with the intersection improvements.

As an example, they’ve created more storage room in lanes to avoid the cues of cars attempting to get on Interstate-5.

“It takes all the ‘dumb’ intersections along the corridor and turns them into ‘smart’ intersections, adjusting the traffic flow and phasing and adding capacity,” said Finigan. “Because you’re not starting and stopping, the traffic flows through faster and safer and that’s why the impacts are substantially mitigated.”

Bob Fuchs, founder of the opposition group What Price Main Street, still doubts that logic.

“Adaptive traffic control systems do not work when the traffic nears road capacity,” Fuchs said.

He reviewed a similar system in San Marcos and said at best it improved traffic delay by 13 percent and at worst worsened it by 4 percent.

Additionally he said the traffic study is not accurate because it does not take into account the full community plan at build-out, such as the extra 150,000 square feet that is entitled at Del Mar Highlands Town Center.

Torrey Pines Planning Board Chair Dennis Ridz echoed Fuchs’ traffic concerns, stating that if the project is approved it would take three and a half years to complete while improvements like the I-5 widening (which comes with a redesigned Del Mar Heights bridge) are not slated to begin until 2020-22 and would take 10 years to complete. SANDAG also has no transit planned to Carmel Valley until 2025.

“Can we take that kind of traffic jam for five to 10 years?” Ridz asked.

Board member Anne Harvey also pointed out that the project’s mitigations would change the way Carmel Valley’s streetscape looks, with pavement stretched as far as it can go.

“Every intersection that you’re going to ‘fix’ you’re making less safe and less conducive to walking and biking,” Harvey said.

Resident Walter Carlin said when he looks at the way traffic “oozes” down Del Mar Heights currently, he has concerns about emergency vehicles being able to get to their destinations in a timely manner if One Paseo is built.

“Traffic is going to be a mess and that is going to have ramifications and

some will be very serious,” Carlin said.

Kilroy also maintains its project will have three times the parking of Del Mar Highlands Town Center across the street with 3,688, and shared office spaces opening up during peak times after work hours and on weekends.

Elizabeth Schreiber, general manager at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, expressed concerns about the project’s density and scale in comparison to the Highlands. The Highlands is 270,000 square feet, compared to One Paseo’s proposed 1.4 million, seven times as dense she said.

Schreiber also objected to the statement that One Paseo would have three times more parking than her center. She said of One Paseo’s 3,688 stalls, 1,000 would be reserved for the residents and during office work hours Monday through Friday, it subtracts an additional 1,500, leaving 1,000 stalls in comparison to the Highlands’ 1,603.

“And I know you’re frustrated with our parking,” Schreiber added.

Both sides weigh in In addition to their concerns about traffic, opponents blasted One Paseo for its “ugly, high rise” effect on a low rise neighborhood, and said that there were no other office buildings as high as eight-stories in the area. The opponents said it is unfair to use Trader Joe’s as a justification to build the entire center.

“Trader Joe’s would easily fit in 500,000 square feet,” one neighbor said.

Carmel Valley resident Gabriele Prater took issue with Kilroy saying that the project was derived from what the community wants and that the community inspired it.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” Prater said, noting that they had a “massive and aggressive”, “bogus PR campaign” that did not have an objective discussion of negative impacts.

“There is no community support for this project.”

Prater said, stating she has taken part in an opposition effort that has gathered 3,000 signatures.

Project supporter Janette Littler offered a different point of view, saying that she has worked and met with Kilroy since early last year and expressed a dislike for the 150-room hotel, which was removed in the revised plans.

“There’s an idea that they haven’t listened and it’s my opinion that they have,” Littler said. “They’ve thoughtfully considered objections and concerns. They are part of the community

and I want them here.”

Supporters stepped up to state that there are people in Carmel Valley who want One Paseo. They said the project will bring tax dollars and jobs to the area, enhance their businesses and property values. Supporters also praised Kilroy’s focus on smart growth and green, forward thinking and how they are offering needed services and amenities to accommodate a growing population and giving Carmel Valley more of a town center, more than a “strip mall surrounded by asphalt.”

“Hearing this no growth attitude is really rather disappointing,” said resident Richard Copeland. “That attitude of not being willing to have another person in front of you at the grocery store or another car in front of you on the road,” Copeland said. “I’m willing to share the paradise we have and we can if we have nice, intelligent growth.”

One woman said she doesn’t like being told what Carmel Valley’s character is and she wonders why it can’t be something different. She said it can feel very isolating living in Carmel Valley as there is not much for people to do in her under-40 age group. “[With One Paseo] hopefully life will get a little more interesting and I can feel more connected to the community,” she said. “I want somewhere to go.”

Torrey Pines sophomore Omar Rodriguez, open-minded and wearing both “Save Carmel Valley” and “I support Main Street” stickers, said he needs some place for him and his friends to go too. He said he can’t afford movies at Cinepolis and says they usually just end up hanging out near Rimel’s in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center.

Filner’s statement that the community plan was a contract resonated with project opponents, who didn’t think that Kilroy has the right to demand more than the plan allows or change it.

But One Paseo supporters argued that community plan amendments have been made before and pointed out that the plan was written in 1975 and things have changed— “perhaps it’s time for a fresh look,” one woman said.

“The last thing I want to see is another office building that looks like High Bluff Drive,” said resident Steve Burton.

Burton said he loves Carmel Valley and they need more options to keep people in their own community. “I don’t want to get on a freeway, I want to be a part of my community right here,” he said.

Resident Comischell Rodriguez said she hears the negatives and the arguments against the project, but feels there are elements of One Paseo’s plan that can be worked on.

“Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” Rodriguez said. “Don’t give up on this project, we need a heart in Carmel Valley.”

White asked that when Kilroy representatives return to the CV planning board at its Feb. 28 meeting, they present their reduced project alternative from the DEIR, which reduces the original proposal by 50 percent, offers a mixeduse project with no “Main Street” concept, more of a traditional strip retail center surrounded by surface parking.

Board member Christian Clews said he is sympathetic to Kilroy, that it has a right to build on the property and to try to make money, but he said they also need to be good neighbors and make concessions to get the project to be more palatable to all.

“We’re looking at 10 pounds of project in a five-pound bag,” Clews said. “You have more than an uphill battle as it stands here. I want you to do something there and you’ve got some great ideas, but as it stands it’s not going to fly.”

The Feb. 28 meeting will be held at Canyon Crest Academy at 7 p.m.

Whitacre said, “Second chances really do happen in America.” Twenty-four hours after he left prison he had a job offer. He’s now COO at Cypress Systems, Inc., a biotechnology company. “The best thing is I became a Christian in prison. What God has done for me is help society forgive me. I speak all over the world – people wouldn’t be bringing me in if they

didn’t trust what I said. I find it very rewarding that God has put me on a good track.”

Fulfilling a need for locals and visitors, the new center, staffed by the Del Mar Village Association, will provide information on hotels, dining, special events, and activities in Del Mar. On display will be Village walking maps, visitors guides, restaurant menus, and downtown community and special events information.

“We’re happy to have a visible location in the heart of Del Mar that will not only serve as an information gathering place for locals but will assist visitors as they explore our Village,” said Mathew Bergman, president of the Del Mar Village Association.

In the future, the DMVA plans to sell Del Mar gifts such as holiday ornaments, wine glasses, license plate frames, water bottles, signature Del Mar surf wax among other unique items.

The Del Mar Village Association is planning a grand opening celebration on Feb. 21, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with wine and tapas, and welcomes locals too attend. Residents interested in volunteering at the new center should call: (858) 735-3650 or email info@delmarmainstreet.com.

Casey said they spent two years developing a solid curriculum before they ever even looked at what technology device they would use to support it.

“We’re not implementing technology for technology’s sake,” said Casey. “We want to support the teaching and learning that’s going on in the classroom.”

To align with the district’s focus in written communication, they selected Google Docs as an application that allowed students to easily collaborate with fellow students and their teacher.

Peterson said the teachers have seen positive results in students’ writing skills. Writing pieces have increased drastically and there is a constant flow of writing, presumably because the editing process is faster and more efficient.

Chromebooks were selected as the chosen device.

Currently, the Chromebooks are in all fourth through sixth grade classrooms at Del Mar Hills and Sycamore Ridge, three sixth grade classrooms at Ashley Falls, one sixth grade class at Del Mar Heights, four fifth grade classrooms at Ocean Air, and five fifth grade classrooms at Sage Canyon.

Carmel Del Mar and Torrey Hills do not have Chromebooks in any classroom, although they do have carts of Netbooks that are shared between classrooms.

Casey spoke of the “Chromebook cliff,” where students have the devices in fifth grade but there is nothing waiting for them in sixth grade.

There will be challenges financially as the district froze Chromebook purchases after the failure of Prop CC. The cost per 28-student class for series five Chromebooks is $15,964, which includes mice, earbuds, a cart and teacher development.

books are a little less expensive at $10,336.

The unrolling of the new Common Core State Standards in 2014 presents a new challenge as it is a requirement for students to use technology to publish, share and collaborate. The assessment test is also done on computers, starting at third grade.

With the district’s limited resources and technology purchases currently frozen, Peterson and Casey said they are continuing to work at supporting professional development, maintaining the infrastucture they have and providing tools to students that they can.

Peterson said they will spend a significant time prioritizing and seeing how they can maximize the small budget they have.

“The tricky part about it is the critical professional development that needs to occur because of the Common Core,” said Peterson. “I can’t overstate the significant shift in the instructional process and how it needs to look with Common Core. These are exciting changes but it does present challenges in moving forward.”

Canine border ambassador comes to live in Carmel Valley Pancho makes 1,000-mile trip along the U.S.-Mexico border

BY KATHY DAY If Pancho could talk, he would surely tell some great tales.

For now, we’ll have to settle for those of the former Mexican street dog’s new owners — his traveling companion Tom Fremantle and Carmel Valley residents Monica and Richard Kiy. The story starts in Ciudad Juarez, with Fremantle – a British author and adventurer who previously walked from Mexico to New York with a pack mule and canoed down the River Niger.

This journey began when he started volunteering with a Juarez charity, teaching and raising funds. Then one day he and friends were talking about raising awareness of the border region and ways to raise money for the charity.

Monica said that when someone suggested Fremantle walk along the border, he thought it was a good idea.

It was a “beer joke” — but Fremantly said OK, Richard added.

“And he keeps his word,” Monica said.

So he adopted a dog that had been found in a municipal dump from Colitas Felices – which translates to “happy tails” – and set off to walk the 1,000 miles from Juarez to Ti-

juana, staying on the Mexican side except while in Arizona . Over the next 49 days, the pair – accompanied by a support team in an ambulance — covered about 25 miles a day, landing in Tijuana on Dec. 27.

That’s where the Kiy family, including 16-yearold Derek and 13-year-old Danny, enter the picture.

Richard is president and CEO of International Community Foundation, a San Diego-based organization dedicated to expanding charitable giving internationally to Mexico and Latin America. A San Diego native whose background is in environmental policy, he has worked in the U.S. Department of Energy, the EPA’s

Office of International Activities and in the private sector with Price Smart Inc. and SAIC, where he was vice president for the defense firm’s Mexican subsidiary and also worked with the company’s Venezuelan subsidiary, INTESA. He met his wife, who is now a Realtor with Sampson California Realty, while serving as acting environmental attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. When they returned to San Diego he volunteered with the San Diego Foundation and helped the International Community Foundation, helping the group establish a border environmental fund. That evolved into his current role, which he has held for 12 years.

The organization, he explained, is supported by “a community of U.S. donors who want to make a difference internationally.”

Over the years, their efforts have promoted philanthropy in Mexico, raised funds to protect whale breeding grounds in Laguna San Ignacio, helped establish a Cabo Pulmo National Park, and provided healthcare and education grants to support a wide range of programs.

His ties with the Juarezbased Fundación Comunitaria de la Frontera Norte, the group Fremantle was working with, led the adventurer to contact him as he identified charities that might help him support his

“On Dec. 23, he emailed me that he was approaching the CaliforniaMexico border,” Richard said, adding that the family was about to leave for vacation in Mexico – where his wife was raised and elder son was born.

So Richard called a sister foundation in Tijuana and arranged for the walking partners to stay at their office and then at the ICF office in National City. Then Pancho was shipped back to Juarez to be auctioned off.

Kiy said he thought he See CANINE, Page 16

Canyon Crest Academy places 2nd in national math contest Canyon Crest Academy recently placed second in the 2012 Ciphering Time Trials, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (http://www. natassessment.com). Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the last major competition of 2012, consisting of 10 rounds in which they had three minutes to solve three problems.

The problems in each round covered a range of difficulties in diverse topics, challenging the most-experienced students to answer all three questions within the time limit and requiring less-experienced students to quickly decide which problems they’ll need to skip.

After results from students across the country were double-checked, many of Canyon Crest Academy’s students received individual awards, helping their team to place 2nd among the top schools in the country. Thomas Swayze placed 2nd in the 12th-grade division, and Kevin Choe was 25th in the 10th-grade division. In the 11th-grade division, Brandon Zeng and Paolo Gentili tied for 2nd place, Eric Chen placed 4th, and Catherine Wu was 22nd.

In the 9th-grade division, Eshaan Nichani placed 3rd, Tristan Pollner was 6th, Bhairav Chidambaram placed 9th, and Zilu Pan and Jason Ke tied for 18th place.

CV Middle School student Michael Stickels receives Boy Scouts National Heroism Award for rescuing drowning child Michael Stickels, a member of Boy Scout Troop 713 and a 7th grader at Carmel Valley Middle School, was recently awarded the Boy Scouts National Heroism Award for saving the life of a young, drowning boy.

Michael is one of only about 3,000 boys who have received this award since its inception in 1923.

Michael was presented the award at Troop 713’s Court of Honors ceremony in December for his quick thinking and heroic actions that saved the little boy’s life. Michael and his family were vacationing in Hawaii and he and his sister were out on a lagoon in a paddle boat when Michael spotted a boy bobbing in the water.

Michael got out of the paddle boat, swam over and pulled the unconscious boy, who by that time was foaming at the mouth, out of the water. Based on the training Michael had received in the Boy Scouts First Aid Merit Badge class, he immediately checked and could feel a faint pulse so mentally prepared to perform CPR. However, when he got to shore an adult offered to

Shortly thereafter a nearby, trained, surf instructor took over and eventually the boy coughed up water and started breathing again and the crowd that had gathered around cheered. Paramedics arrived and took the boy to a hospital where it was reported he survived. Based on the seriousness of the boy’s condition and the amount of time it took to resuscitate him, Michael’s quick response and actions helped to save the little boy from death. It was an extremely heroic action for an 11 year old and one that Michael was able to do as a result of the training he received in his Boy Scout First Aid and Swimming Merit Badge classes.

Education Matters/Opinion Districts to pay millions for new countywide education finance software

BY MARSHA SUTTON BY MARSHA SUTTON A new Enterprise Resource Planning software Marsha Sutton system that the San Diego County Office of Education is proposing to install could cost as much as $63 million, half of which SDCOE is asking school districts to fund.

Although local districts all say the ERP system is long overdue, the steep price tag comes at a difficult time for cash-strapped schools.

Even in the best of times, paying the estimated cost of $85 per pupil is a whopper.

SDCOE currently provides various software systems to 56 school districts, community colleges and charter schools in the county. These systems include payroll, personnel, budgeting, financial and business operations, including purchasing and inventory.

But some of these systems are over 30 years old,

not integrated, written in old programming languages and costly to maintain, according to school board reports.

Lora Duzyk, assistant superintendent of business services for SDCOE, called the current system “very antiquated” and inefficient.

SDCOE is currently in contract negotiations to provide a new integrated software system to allow for more efficient and effective use of financial and employee data. The new ERP system – PeopleSoft from Oracle – will “transform the way we do business,” Duzyk said.

She would not state specifically how much the new system will cost, saying the county is still in closed negotiations with the provider and the final cost is based upon the number of districts agreeing to participate.

But she did say the county will pay at least 50 percent of the total cost, and the rest will be divided among the participating school districts, based upon enrollment numbers. The

more districts, the lower the cost per district.

Duzyk said SDCOE is asking all 42 county school districts, except San Diego Unified School District which has its own internal systems, to make a commitment in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding to agree to participate in the cost of the ERP system.

The deadline to notify SDCOE is Jan. 31, and as of Jan. 28 she said she has MOUs from 20 of the 41 districts (excluding SD Unified).

“We expect them all,” she said in an email. “The rest are in process, going to [the] board, getting signatures or in the mail.”

The amount school districts are being asked to approve is $85 per ADA (Average Daily Attendance), which is a maximum estimate.

“We need to know who’s with us in order to sign the contract,” said Duzyk, who hopes to begin the initial design and configuration Feb. 1.

The county educates

about 500,000 K-12 students, and SD Unified has about 130,000 of those. If the 41 school districts in San Diego County that serve the remaining 370,000 students all agree to participate, at $85 per pupil, the total cost for the ERP system for school districts comes to about $31.5 million.

With SDCOE kicking in half, that brings the total estimated price to about $63 million. This would be a maximum cost.

Many school boards this month have included this MOU on their agendas. Local school districts – including San Dieguito, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe – have all reviewed and approved these MOUs. The estimated cost for procurement, configuration and implementation is about $1.02 million for San Dieguito, $363,000 for Del Mar, $250,000 for Solana Beach and $55,100 for Rancho Santa Fe. Districts will owe 70 percent due July 1, 2014 and 30 percent the following year.

Instead of participating, districts could choose to implement their own systems. Or they could join in the SDCOE system at a later date, but they would pay the full cost of implementation without the county’s 50 percent financial commitment.

Local districts currently contract with SDCOE under the old system for some or all of their financial, payroll and personnel needs. Duzyk said the current system will be retired in 2015 and will no longer be supported.

Annual fees Besides upfront costs, districts will pay ongoing annual maintenance fees of about $8 per ADA. For Solana Beach, assuming an enrollment of about 3,000 students, annual fees will run about $24,000, up from the current fee of $15,000, said Carlos Estrella, assistant superintendent of business services for the Solana Beach School District.

Del Mar’s annual fee will rise from

&MARTI GELLENS

about $23,200 to about $34,200, said Holly McClurg, superintendent of the Del Mar Union School District, which has about 4,300 students. Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Delaney estimated RSF’s annual fee to be about $5,000 with the new system, but said it “could be less since we are a small school district.”

Eric Dill, San Dieguito Union High School District’s assistant superintendent of business services, said San Dieguito is expecting to pay SDCOE about $95,000 annually for the new system, based on an enrollment of just under 12,000 students. This is an increase from about $80,000 per year, which Dill said currently pays for support from a number of business systems that would all be eliminated when the new SDCOE system is implemented.

“While this is an increased cost, having integrated systems will be more efficient and provide us with better information,” Dill said.

Although not happy about the money, they all said the new, centralized, fully integrated ERP system is necessary and would be worth the expense.

The Rancho Santa Fe school board approved its MOU on the Consent agenda, without discussion, at its Jan. 10 board meeting. “The district does not have many other options,” Delaney said. “It does not seem feasible for the district to go out on its own for new systems.”

At the SBSD board meeting Jan. 17, Estrella said the board “questioned the cost associated with the MOU, as they thought it was high. However, the board felt more comfortable once we detailed the system’s benefits and what would be included in the implementation phase.”

The Solana Beach and San Dieguito school boards approved their respective MOUs at their Jan. 17 board meetings, Del

SOFTWARE continued from page 14 Mar’s at its Jan. 23 meeting.

“We support the new system and are pleased that it will be more efficient,” McClurg said in an email.

“The timing is unfortunate, as every district is faced with fiscal challenges, but we understand that the current system needs to be replaced.”

McClurg said it was hard to quantify how much the new system will eventually save the district. “That will relate to efficiency and employee time,” she said.

Calling it a “robust” system, Estrella said the new software will perform payroll, financial, budgeting, human resources, and other integrated accounting functions, with reports and data easily accessible. He said without it Solana Beach would need to hire four people.

“By opting to participate, we can use the resources the county is providing,” Estrella said. “It’s going to make our lives a lot easier.”

“The goal is to replace outdated payroll and financial systems with new systems that will meet the data collection and reporting requirements of the district,” Delaney said.

“The SDCOE systems

3rd - 9th grade students, Hands-On Robotics Education

were designed … before most of our students were even born, and still look and feel like a cranky, old system,” Dill said. “As someone who is frustrated by the systems daily, it’s long past time for them to [be] replaced.”

Dill said San Dieguito has had to purchase other third-party systems for human resources, payroll and budgeting to compensate for the SDCOE system’s lack of functionality. “We would cancel those licenses once the COE system is implemented,” he said.

The new SDCOE system, said Dill, includes two major benefits: internal auditing and payroll administration.

“Payroll management is very complex in public agencies, so we benefit from the economy of scale by having SDCOE provide that expertise and oversight for multiple districts rather than bringing on additional specialized staff,” Dill said.

Financing options Not participating in the county-wide system could cost even more in the long run.

“Striking out on our own would cost the district much more in terms of staffing and technology,” Dill said.

Additionally, Dill said the district would be re-

quired to hire full-time internal auditors to oversee its financial operations if San Dieguito chose not to participate.

“SDCOE performs that function now, and we feel that is a better check on our internal controls than if that auditing staff reported to the superintendent or me,” Dill said. “SDCOE internal auditors do not have that conflict of interest.”

For districts in a bind to pay the heavy upfront costs, SDCOE is providing financing options, but each district would have to bear its own debt service cost.

The estimated cost under a payment plan to finance a 20-year loan at current interest rates is about $9 per ADA annually. Districts would need to notify SDCOE by Oct. 1, 2013 if financing assistance is needed.

For Solana Beach, said Estrella, “it doesn’t make sense to do it that way.”

But Del Mar is keeping this financing option open, and so is San Dieguito. “We will evaluate our options and determine the best way for us to pay that expense before the time comes,” Dill said.

In 2011, the county began the Modernization, Improvement, and Transformation Initiative, which sought

to document the needs of school districts to prepare for a new system.

The Oracle ERP system will have a three-year implementation period and will offer a “21st century, fully integrated” suite of features that will provide “human resources all the way through finance and budget,” Duzyk said.

In addition to complete human resources, financial and accounting operations,

CANINE continued from page 8 had a better idea – to make Pancho a goodwill ambassador. “That way we could keep the spirit of Pancho’s journey on the border alive.”

So he made arrangements to adopt the lab-golden retriever mix and fly him back to Tijuana. The energetic pup arrived on Jan. 21 and has settled in nicely with their other dog, Bindi – who they got from the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Bindi is “a little neurotic,” but she has adjusted well to her new housemate, Richard said.

In the short time they’ve been together, the Kiys have watched Pancho adapt to life in their comfortable Carmel Valley home. The first night there, they lit a fire in their fire ring in hopes that would help the dog feel more com-

Duzyk said the new ERP system will provide business intelligence and offer extensive analysis and reporting capabilities – all integrated and done electronically.

SDCOE’s annual 2012-2013 budget is about $602.6 million.

fortable since each night on the road Tom and Pancho slept beside a campfire.

It worked. Pancho took a spot beside the fire and even dragged a padded bed outside.

Monica talked about their family being binational and noted that now they have a binational dog, too.

“The dogs represent two countries,” she said.

“Pancho is a scavenger and wouldn’t let Bindi eat. … Today is the first day Pancho left Bindi’s food in the bowl.”

Pancho’s new life has included trips to the vet and to the ICF office. Now, with Fremantle and the Kiys establishing Pancho’s Frontier Fund to support charities in Juarez and Tijuana, he is also set to start training.

Richard said they are looking into service-dog training so Pancho can be an active player in his new role.

“Pancho is good natured,” he said. “He represents hope and optimism.”

After two years on the street, he said the dog is a reminder that “we can keep an optimistic outlook, be resilient and overcome adversity.”

The new foundation in the dog’s name is “about building bridges. San Diegans have been turning their backs on Mexico,” he said. “If they can walk 1,000 miles across the border, it can’t be that bad.”

Monica said she “has this crazy idea about organizing the same walk along the border.”

If Tom, who isn’t an athlete can do it, why can’t she?

“Ordinary people can do amazing things,” Richard added.

at the Carmel Valley Planning Board meeting where supporters and opposition of One Paseo were both given equal time to state their opinions and reasoning why the One Paseo mixed-use development in Carmel Valley should or should not move forward as currently planned.

After the meeting was initiated by CV Planning Board Chairman Frisco White, the board attended to some planning-related housekeeping items, then turned the microphone over to board members to inquire and ask questions directed at Kilroy...within a short time, and to my surprise, up comes Dave Roberts, newly elected San Diego County Supervisor who stated that he has no vote on the project, in addition to no involvement, but proceeds to deliver his rationale and accuses Kilroy of attempting to “shoehorn” a project into a community where it has no room or support to do so.

Correct me if I’m wrong here Mr. Supervisor, if you have no vote, no involvement, and what appeared to be no interest in smart-growth, future planning and forwardthinking, what were you doing there?

Where are the Republican supervisors when you need them? Read the recent Bing articles…

Next, and what the crowd didn’t anticipate, or myself for that matter, was Bob Filner showing up. Amazing! Mayor of San Diego for those of you who don’t know who he is, or would like to forget who he is, goes staggering through the crowd, clomping up to the podium, and begins firing up the opposition with his unrehearsed diatribe of how the Kilroy property should stand as originally approved as it was back in 1975.

Unbelievable! In his 10- minute so-called speech, he used the words “things and stuff” repeatedly.

Unbelievably, after our illustrious mayor admitted during his speech that he has no vote on the project, what he failed to admit was that he has no interest, involvement or knowledge on the project either… nor care or concern for the community residents in support of the project as he walked out shortly after receiving his undeserved and raucous applause by the opposition, not waiting respectively to hear the recent amendments and revisions made to the project by the Kilroy team as a result of community input, project supporters and opposition. I am sincerely dumbfounded as to how this “so called official” was ever elected into the mayor’s office for the 8th largest city in America. Astounding! Again, where are the Republicans when you need them?

roy management, who spent a great deal of time and effort addressing the many key points that the project has to offer with visual graphics and calculations to support issues involved with the project, presented what was considered by many, very professional, well planned and well delivered, but unfortunately not well received by the disrespectful opposition. Those of us with regard to respectful behavior were witness to the opposition’s snickering and groaning and rolling their eyes every time the Kilroy representatives touched on an issue of impact or debate. My kudos to the Kilroy team for remaining unfazed by such embarrassing behavior.

Then came the opposition’s turn to provide input from their point of view. I believe, if they could have, they would have all dressed up in Goth clothing with the Grim Reaper as their spokesperson.

After the opposition had their say, a good portion of the opposition crowd left like a herd of cattle going for feed bags outside of the auditorium, not even waiting to hear project supporter’s and community member points of view.

From that point, the project supporters were given an ample amount of time by the planning board to present their valid and respectful thoughts and opinions, as a handful of members of the opposition, still in attendance, were again giggling and moaning to comments made by long-time Carmel Valley residents and project supporters. Good points were addressed in favor with mitigation measures for all issues expressed openly and intelligently.

I believe as a small business owner, and long-time resident of Carmel Valley, I have come to expect, or hope for, people to listen, understand, make a valid assessment, and respond respectively to all issues considered regarding the proposed One Paseo development plan. What I didn’t expect is all of the emotions, drama, theatrics, grandstanding and media-hungry politicians, all moving in concert, without really trying to make a difference, and just making noise.

Final thought being…my best to the community of Carmel Valley, the residentplanning board, Kilroy Realty team, and the City of San Diego, to find an equal balance that will allow Kilroy to develop Carmel Valley’s mixed-use, smart growth, forwardthinking, future oriented, One Paseo community project.

Greg Klima, 22-year resident of Carmel Valley and One Paseo supporters

Shocked and saddened at One Paseo meeting The letter below was sent to Mayor Bob Filner, Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and this newspaper for publication.

Mayor Filner: I was shocked and saddened to see you berate and belittle the great people at Kilroy last Thursday. This is a state with 9 percent unemployment, oppressive taxes and a shrinking tax base yet instead of bridging the divide to ultimately create jobs and revenue all you could do was treat a company with deep ties in San Diego as criminals. If more sales taxes and property tax is not ultimately a good thing for every citizen in San Diego than what is?

Perhaps it may have been more constructive to say “Let’s all listen as a community this evening and find a way to get this done!”

You should be ashamed yourself as Mayor of such a large and influential city that you can’t see the forest through the trees. If you have not already called and apologized to Mr. Little you should do so, immediately.

I am a Carmel Valley homeowner and resident and I am in full support of One Paseo.

John P. Toman LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged. Submission should include a full name, address, e-mail address (if available) and a telephone number for verification purposes. We do not publish anonymous letters and there are length limits. Emailed submissions are preferred to editor@rsfreview.com. The letters published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.

Dear Mayor Filner: I want to take this opportunity to thank you for attending and speaking at the Carmel Valley Planning Board meeting this evening.

I live a quiet life here in Carmel Valley as an artist and photographer. But, it hasn’t always been this way. A few years ago I retired from a 30-year career with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Your Fire Chief and I were both in the 21st Fire Academy and, on Jan. 11 celebrated our 33rd anniversary as San Diego City Firefighters. My concerns about the One Paseo project go beyond those of a resident.

My concerns are related to public safety. In my 30-year career with the City, 20 of those years were served at the rank of Fire Captain. Of those 20 years, nearly half were served right here in Carmel Valley supervising Fire Station 24/A. During those years, I saw a dramatic impact upon our ability to respond west bound on Del Mar Heights Road due to the ever increasing traffic. Of course, an increase in traffic is to be expected as a new community grows and develops. Still, there are several hours per day, five days per week, when responding Code 3, west bound on Del Mar Heights is nearly impossible due to traffic being stopped in all west bound lanes from El Camino Real to Interstate 5.

As you know, time is the enemy of the First Responder.

When faced with traffic that has nowhere to yield, the siren is turned off until the way is clear. Seconds tick by and turn to minutes. If responding to a medical emergency, the patient’s condition continues to deteriorate. If responding to a rapidly progressing fire, lives and property placed at increasing risk with each passing minute. And it is not only the lives of the public that are threatened in this way. The longer an emergency goes unchecked, the more dangerous it will be to control and mitigate upon arrival. It is the lives of your fire and law enforcement personnel that will be increasingly threatened by unnecessary traffic delays. You should be aware also, that it is not only the corridor along Del Mar Heights Road that is at risk, for this road is the primary route of response for all emergencies not only to the west of the fire station, but to all those accessed via Interstate 5, both north and south of Del Mar Heights Road. This includes commercial and residential occupancies, and wildland areas accessed off of Via de la Valle to the north and Carmel Valley Road to the south. To say nothing of incidents on the freeway itself.

Words cannot describe the feelings of concern and frustration I have personally experienced while stopped in traffic and seeing a column of smoke grow larger in the distance. It was my hope to be able to speak at the meeting this evening. I am not opposed to developing the 23 acres of property owned by Kilroy Realty. I am opposed to their intent to build the 500,000 square feet their entitlement allows and then add an additional 1,000,000 square feet on top of that.

To make matters worse, the developer continues to portray this project as a “gift” to the citizens of Carmel Valley.

At a Kilroy sponsored open house I attended recently, I was told by one of their traffic engineers that I had nothing to worry about with this project. There would be minimal impact on traffic because they were spending $6 million that they were not required to spend in order to install two stop lights and a right turn lane. He failed to convince me that installing stop lights was going to keep the traffic flowing on Del Mar Heights Road. First Responders must slow to a speed where they can stop if necessary, when approaching a controlled intersection. Adding two more stop lights, which will more than likely conflict with the ramp metering lights at Interstate 5 will not decrease response times. They will, however increase ingress and egress capability to and from One Paseo.

In conclusion, please let me say this. When I was told about this gift of two stop lights and a right turn lane I couldn’t help but think of another “gift” in our history.

This is from the journal of Commander William Trent, entry, 24 May 1763, “... we gave them two blankets and one handkerchief out of the Small Pox Hospital...” describing a gift to the Ottawa Indians living outside of his fort. We must take a serious look at this project before allowing it to proceed. We can live without the gift from Kilroy Realty.

Dear Mayor Sinnott and City Councilpersons: While most Del Mar residents agree that Del Mar needs re-vitalization, they voted “No” to the complex and far-reaching Village Specific Plan. If the City is to succeed in re-vitalizing the downtown, the question must be asked: How did it end up this way? How did a planning and design review process that created beautiful residential properties fail in developing the downtown?

While I welcome any other explanation, from my perspective, Del Mar’s planning process failed because its parking ordinance was so restrictive that the Planning Department “creatively” waived parking requirements and issued permits to numerous under-parked properties. Today, Del Mar’s commercial district is mostly non-descript old buildings that were given permits for uses way beyond their ability to provide parking for those uses; and Del Mar’s current parking shortage is empirical evidence that this happened.

For the last 45 years, the objectivity of reasonable parking standards has been replaced by subjective Staff Reports, which provided misinformation to City Councils, who then approved restaurant uses for properties with little or no parking. A review of the prior permits the City granted to the following underparked properties demonstrate how objective parking standards were replaced with “creative subjectivity” in attempt to circumvent the parking requirements for these properties. (Exhibit A).

While I welcome any other explanation, from my perspective, Del Mar’s unreasonable parking standards caused this sub-standard development, and thus re-vitalization of Del Mar’s central commercial district can never occur until the City adopts reasonable parking standards. While it may seem counter-intuitive to reduce the parking standards when Del Mar is faced with a parking shortage, the fact is that Del Mar has repeatedly failed to enforce its parking resolutions, which I have summarized in Exhibit

B. On April 19, 2012, I filed a “Citizen’s Complaint” requesting that the City take action to enforce Del Mar’s Parking Ordinance on 16 properties developed in violation of the parking ordinance. Eight months later the City has not responded to this Citizen’s Complaint letter, nor have they taken any action against any of these under-parked properties which overburden Del Mar’s curbside parking. My April 19, 2012 letter offered to withdraw this complaint if the City would establish reasonable parking standards. I again request the City Council to either establish reasonable parking standards, or enforce the parking ordinance in a uniform manner.

I have previously proposed the following revisions to Del Mar’s parking ordinance: (1) Adapt SANDAG parking ratios (2) Adapt the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) methodology for calculating peak hour parking requirements for mixed-use buildings.

(3) Eliminate parking requirements for outside dining areas.

(4) Include curbside parking in a building’s inventory of parking spaces.

In a Del Mar Times article, the Planning Director defended the million dollars spent on developing and promoting the Village Specific Plan by stating that the analysis is valid. The analysis presented in the VSP, included both: (a) the Urban Land Institute methodology for calculating peakhour parking, and (b) reducing parking ratios to SANDAG parking standards. Thus two of these four proposals have already been proposed by Del Mar’s Planning Department.

Establishing reasonable parking standards will replace the Planning Departments power to subjectively decide which properties to enrich . . . with an objective process that returns power to Del Mar’s residents. If you disagree with, or if you would like documentation for any of my statements, please advise me. I encourage residents to post their thoughts on the Del Mar Voices (www.delmarvoices.com) bulletin board.

RELIGION & spirituality

Imposing a charge to use biodegradable bags one step too far I was among those who supported getting rid of plastic bags but not the one step too far. Imposing a charge on the use of biodegradable paper bags is that one step too far.

When I shop, I expect the products I buy will be packaged for me to carry home. The cost of these bags is factored in as a cost of doing business. They have historically been free to the shopper at the time of purchase.

Along comes the new law, requiring merchants to charge for bags, 10 cents each, more than they cost without ads printed on them. I personally will not pay to carry ads, if I must pay; I want a plain brown paper bag. Also, I believe it is unconstitutional for government to tell private business owners what to charge for anything. In the case of Obamacare, the Supreme Court ruled that forcing someone to buy a product was a tax, so in Solana Beach new taxes or tax increases must be voted on.

Believe it or not, the goal is not to allow the use of any paper or plastic bags in the near future. I hear our legislature plans to require reusable fabric bags or baskets as done in Europe where women often do the shopping daily. This elderly (87 years old) lady doesn’t have time to shop every day, now, or when I was young and had five children. Cloth bags use lots of energy as they should be laundered after each use to prevent the growth or transfer of bacteria. Ask your spouse if they have time for that.

One last thought, as you know the trees cut for paper bags are grown for that purpose.

They are not old growth. The bags are made providing jobs and are more biodegradable than dollar bills, and in some ways more useful. The Solana Beach City Council will hold a public hearing soon, watch for it and if you want all the facts, make it a point to be there.

If you are wondering why I care, it’s because I was involved for years trying to protect the town from the uncaring County of San Diego and for us to have home rule. Our incorporation as a city has been very successful, so I hope we don’t let ourselves be ruled by fiat and be too lazy to be involved. I hope to see you at the public hearing even if you don’t agree with me.

Arthur S. Ecker, accomplished attorney-atlaw and devoted public servant, passed away January 22, 2013, age 85, at his Del Mar, CA, home, in the arms of his beloved wife, Sharon.

Born November 3, 1927, in Scarsdale, NY, he graduated from Harvard College in ‘49 and Harvard

Law School in ‘52. In 1953, Arthur was appointed as the youngest Assistant U.S. Attorney to the Southern District of NY by J. Edward Lumbard. He ventured west to California in 1957 and established his own law practice. For more than 50 years, Arthur served the NY, LA, and San Diego/Del Mar communities as a lawyer, judge, mediator, arbitrator, and advisor.

Along with his love of law, he delighted in music, theater, travel, his many, many friends, and, most especially, public service.

Arthur often stated that, “everyone owes the duty to use his best talents to further and better the lives of others. If I were a great man, I would do this on a grand scale. Not being such, I try to do it on a small scale - mainly in terms of offering legal counsel without charge and in some philanthropic work.”

He worked with community non-profits like Planned Parenthood, the West Side Food Bank, and the LA Museum of Natural History as well as local civic leadership.

He is loved, celebrated, and survived by his wife, Sharon Robbins; his daughter, Kristina Bauer and her husband, Zach; Kristina’s mother, Bente; his sister, Carol Miller and her husband, Wade; as well as cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Mayor’s presentation at One Paseo meeting out of line

One Paseo violates the law of the land

I was in attendance at the Jan. 24 Carmel Valley Planning Meeting and was appalled at the presentation made by our newly elected Mayor, Bob Filner. The purpose of this meeting was to have the applicant of One Paseo present the project to the residents of Carmel Valley and the local Community Planning Board, and for those attending to voice their positive or negative comments to this project. The applicant presented an extensive video depicting the proposed project. When this presentation was almost complete, in walked Mayor Filner who was the first to speak after this presentation.

In the forum of this neighborhood community meeting Mayor Filner was totally out of line in presenting his strong opposition to this project. He had not seen most of the presentation nor had he stayed to listen to any of the comments from the community. The purpose of these meetings are for the community to discuss the pros and cons of these projects.

A mayor, such as Bob Filner, who speaks as if he is representing the entire community, whether for or against a project, is unduly influencing the purpose of these meetings. Naturally the opponents of this project cheered him on.

The large number in attendance supporting the project could only sit in shock that Mayor Filner would take a strong position without hearing or seeing all the details and public comments presented. This, in my opinion, underminded the procedures set forth to hear concrete comments from the community residents. I hope Mayor Filner doesn’t show up at any future meetings for Carmel Valley or other communities with similar formats.

Linda Katzman Carmel Valley Resident for over 15 years

BY DAVE ROBERTS I am not against development. I am against over-development. That’s why my vote on the currently-proposed One Paseo project, if I had one, would be a No. But as a county supervisor representing much of the north coast, I have no authority over plans to intensely develop 23 acres in the heart of Carmel Valley. This is for the San Diego City Council to decide.

And though there is much to like about a project with anchor tenants that appeal to families, it is way too big. For that reason, I joined hundreds of residents in opposition at a planning board meeting last week.

As I noted in my testimony to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group, One Paseo snubs the law of the land. San Diego Mayor Bob Filner agreed. It’s about the zoning.

Zoning laws are the result of careful planning – a balance of residential and commercial needs and the ability of public infrastructure to support them. I want to defend quality of life in my district. That’s what zoning does.

How lopsided is One Paseo? Just look at the numbers.

Current zoning (the law of the land) allows for 500,000 square feet of building space at the One Paseo site at the southwest corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real. Kilroy Realty, the project’s developer, has proposed a 1.4 million-squarefoot project. That’s a 180 percent increase.

Imagine if a homeowner came forward with plans to triple the allowable size of his or her house. Planning authorities would show the applicant the door and neighbors, in all likelihood, would reach for the tar and feathers.

But that’s what Kilroy is asking for: approval of a project that’s nearly three times

TRAIN continued from page 2 arise, especially when it rains, because riders would have to rush from the ticketing building downstairs to catch a train.

“It’s just an idea we’d be interested in learning more about,” he said. “That building is underutilized.”

NCTD Chief Development Officer Reed Caldwell said current efforts are only in the planning stages.

“There’s nothing specific yet,” he said. “What we are waiting on is funding …

CAPTAIN continued from page 3 “These people live within five miles of where they’re stopped, so they could get a $30 cab ride instead of getting in their car and driving home,” Haley said.

Those convicted of a DUI charge face costs totaling around $15,000, including court costs, fines and hikes to their insurance, he said.

Another unique aspect to the community, said Haley, is a large number of special events, from the San Diego County Fair to athletic events such as triathlons.

The office is actively working on a series of school burglaries in which I-pads and other items were taken. The burglars were from Riverside County; one has been caught and other arrests are expected, Haley said.

Car and home burglaries are another area of concern.

“There’s a little spike there and we’re working on it,” Haley said. One element of his approach is to educate people to keep valuables such as computers, cameras and purses out of sight, rather than leaving them unprotected and visible in their cars.

Haley is now in his 28th year in law enforcement. He began his career with the County Marshal’s Office, which had such responsibilities as courtroom security and

The grant funding would be for a transit amenity that would enhance the train station … We’re probably about 45 days from knowing what the project could look like, but hearing from FTA, that could be one day or one month.”

While Solana Beach officials have said the project is coming to the forefront because funding could potentially be at risk if stakeholders don’t continue showing movement with the project, Caldwell said the project is being adarresting fugitives. The office merged with the Sheriff’s Department in 2000, and since then, Haley has held a number of roles, from supervising offices in Alpine and Fallbrook, to working in the recruiting and hiring of new deputies.

One of his favorite assignments was working in the fugitive unit. He recalled one case where a man wanted on a drug-related warrant ran from his house. Haley chased the man on foot for two miles, jumping over back yard fences, and even barbed wire, before commandeering a car and capturing the fugitive.

He also commandeered a golf cart in the midst of another pursuit.

Deputies used ruses ranging from promises of lottery winnings to Super Bowl tickets to lure people wanted on warrants. “We catch them sooner or later, being diligent and talking to lots of people,” he said.

Haley, whose wife works with the County Counsel’s office, is an “empty nester” now that one of his sons left for college in Iowa on a football scholarship and another son joined the U.S. Coast Guard.

When he’s not at work, Haley enjoys riding dirt bikes, working out in the gym and playing golf.

He said he made the right choice when he opted for a police cruiser instead of a classroom, because he’s never

dressed now because of timing and staff availability.

The site has been a point of contention in the past, especially leading up to NCTD’s 2008 withdrawal of plans for a project called Cedros Crossing, which included commercial space, parking structures and 141 apartments. Amid pressure to get permits in time for a $6 million grant deadline, Solana Beach leaders in 2008 voted against the project due to concern about its size and neighborhood compatibility.

had a day when he didn’t like his job. And he’s looking forward to his new assignment.

“I feel like I’ve been given a fantastic opportunity here,” he said. “I don’t see challenges that can’t be overcome.”

101 continued from page 1 project, when permanent stripes will be painted. City planner Mo Sammak said striping and other final touches may be happening within a week of the opening of the county fair.

Sammak also said Feb. 4 will bring some traffic challenges for locals, as southbound traffic will shift to the median for a day of pavement grinding.

“That one day will be pretty inconvenient for the adjacent property owners,” said Sammak. “After that one-day operation the contractor will have to go back and do some underground work, some curb work and remaining sidewalk work …

There will be some inconveniences and construction in front of properties but those will be on a periodic basis, not a continuous operation as it is on that one day, Feb. 4.”

Recent completions in addition to diagonal parking include paving the southbound traffic lane and park-

bigger than San Diego’s zoning law allows.

The developer’s representatives will point to reductions made from earlier submittals, but those reductions were from their original proposal to quadruple the allowable square footage. Neither proposal mitigates an inevitable crush of traffic on Del Mar Heights Road. Studies show delays to reach Interstate 5 would be significant and unmitigable.

What will that traffic jam mean for daily commutes to work and school and what will it mean to emergency response times?

Significant and unmitigable impacts.

The developer is selling One Paseo as a walkable community. Maybe, but most people would still need a car to get there. Public transit service for Carmel Valley is more than a decade away.

The sheer size of the proposal has inflamed many residents. Last week’s meeting drew an overflow crowd to the Canyon Crest Academy auditorium. After nearly two hours of testimony, the planning board continued its meeting until Feb. 28 for board deliberations and an advisory vote.

Clearly, residents want a project they can live with – and also live, work and play in. So there must be a compromise out there. The first tracts in Carmel Valley were built 30 years ago. At the time, the community was known as North City West. Today, Carmel Valley has established an identity of its own and, as it should be, is protective of its zoning.

That’s why I am joining opponents of the currently-proposed One Paseo project and am calling for the city of San Diego to uphold the law of the land. Let’s find a project that improves our quality of life in Carmel Valley. — Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

City leaders should have listened to both sides at One Paseo meeting Editor’s Note: The following letter was sent to San Diego Councilmember Sherri Lightner and to this newspaper for publication.

Hello Councilmember Lightner: First off, thank you for attending [the Jan. 24 One Paseo meeting] and not only being an impartial listener, but also a concerned citizen and resident of your own district that you represent.

I am writing to you in anger of the behavior of our Mayor and Supervisor. What they did was in very bad taste and does not represent their constituents as a whole. Of course, we can all have an opinion about an issue one way or the other, and even though you (personally) are bound by governmental regulations not to relay your position before Council, they should have had an open mind on the issue at hand. I am sure they know the facts of the issue and, actually, as I typed this, I hope they know the facts of the issue and the reasons both for and against the project. But, what irritated me the most, was they did not even listen to both sides. Mayor Filner came in for five minutes before he was addressed to say a few words. Supervisor Roberts, a little longer than that. Then, both members left.

It was almost like this was a choreographed meeting. We all know and can empathize they have busy schedules, but we all do. I understand their position on the issue, which is fine, but what they failed to realize is that the supporters of the project also have a voice.

We all know the facts and issues. I am not writing here today to recite them.

Though, I will say this: we have a great opportunity here in Carmel Valley with this project. Yes, this is a change, but change is good. We need to find a way to work together on this project. The developers are working tirelessly to find a way for this to work with input from our community as a whole, and nobody can dispute that, regardless of the rhetoric that is out there. They are putting money into much-needed traffic infrastructure, the City cannot afford (or will not prioritize), as well as, into our schools. Recurring revenues from sales tax and increased property values. Adding jobs to the community, in both construction and permanent wage earners. The benefits are great. Yes, there will be heartburn, as there always is with change. But, those are mitigated with a strategic plan. As a resident, of course, I am concerned with the traffic. But, I believe they have been carefully thought out with governmental agencies, including: State Caltrans and your very own City Engineer. I come from a background of “let the surgeons do the surgery” and we have to rely on their expertise. Not uninformed and uneducated (on the matter) people.

I hope you can forward my disapproval in duplicate with our City leaders, as I will be contacting them as well. Again, I do not have an issue of one having an opinion, that is what democracy is about. But, I believe it was in very poor taste they made a stand without listening to their constituents on both sides of the issue.

City of Solana Beach recognizes Santa Fe Christian football with formal proclamation

BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Solana Beach City Council on Jan. 23 honored Santa Fe Christian’s football team for its four CIF state championships over the past decade, as well as its invitation last month to compete for the state title.

“Just to get that far guys, you’ve got to give yourself a pat on the back because it’s quite an accomplishment and we are really proud of you,” said Mayor Mike Nichols, adding that he watched the replay of the Dec. 14 game in which the Solana Beach team lost to Modesto’s Central Catholic High School.

The city’s proclamation recognized the team’s five appearances at Qualcomm Stadium and three final top-ten rankings in the county over the past ten years, adding that the school is “developing men of character who will lead their communities.”

Head of school Tom Bennett and Coach Dan Egan introduced the players, as well as several others in attendance: assistant principal Pam Oden, offensive line coach Jon Litts and athletic director Tom Seitz.

He also gave a warm acknowledgement to Nick Ruscetta, who has been the team’s head coach since 2001.

“This is all Nick’s creation; this is all Nick’s doing; this is all under Nick’s leadership,” said Egan. “He is one of the most remarkable men I have the privilege of knowing.”

Merger brings a new name to Youth Football in the North Coast A recently completed merger between two established and respected programs, the Carmel Valley Dons and the North Coast Eagles, has created a new identity in North County youth football known as the North Coast Saints.

The merger between these two organizations creates not only a stronger, more competitive program within San Diego Youth Football, but also provides the families within its territory an opportunity to play in a highly competitive Division I football program aimed at preparing top athletes for high school football.

“This merger is a win-win,” said Mike Perez, board president for the North Coast Saints. “It provides a win for our new program by bringing together the strengths of each organization while at the same time providing a win to the community in knowing that their children will have the opportunity to play in a competitive program that promotes competition and sportsmanship. Based on the past season and three division titles in 2012, this merger gives us an opportunity to send every team in the league to the playoffs in 2013! Top to bottom, we expect to be competitive, have fun and learn the fundamentals of football!”

The North Coast Saints will operate within a territorial boundary along the coast, stretching from La Jolla up to Carlsbad, and includes the communities/zip codes of Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Cardiff and La Costa Canyon!

The North Coast Saints will be governed by a Board comprised evenly of members from last year’s North Coast and Carmel Valley organizations, and volunteers from both programs.

The newly formed North Coast Saints is part of the San Diego Youth Football & Cheer Conference. This organization has served the San Diego community and youth sports for more than 55 years. American Youth Football (AYF) is the largest youth football organization in the world. A National Youth Partner of the NFL, AYF provides support services, scholarships, grants, “Giving Back” programs and tournaments to over 500,000 members.

AYF offers all-inclusive football and cheer divisions to every team and league, enabling every child a place to play in an Age/Grade Based division.

POLICE continued from page 1 that includes one 24-7 patrol officer and one traffic officer working eight-hour days Monday through Friday. In contrast, the finance committee’s review, which examined several other small California cities that have maintained their own police forces, estimated that a Del Mar police department could operate under an annual budget of about $1.5 million.

Several Del Mar locals spoke in support of the city’s efforts to develop its own law enforcement department, including resident Wayne Dernetz. But Dernetz also said that there’s good reason why more than 200 California cities contract out their Sheriff services.

“Police service is a highoverhead service,” he said.

“You must spread overhead to make it affordable and that’s why small cities often don’t do it.”

And I think this is going to cost us a lot more than $1.5 million.”

Mosier pointed out, however, that the issue is not only one of financial concern but also of safety.

The city has been decreasing enforcement services from the county with a focus on fiscal responsibility, however, the community has responded with concern about the level of service. For example, there is no volunteer Sheriff program in Del Mar, as there is in Encinitas and Solana Beach. Residents have also expressed that the shores area is underserved during peak summer, fair and racing season months.

Once city staff members draft guidelines for the initial study, the request for proposal (RFP) will come back to the council for review prior to being sent out.

Consultant proposals and bids will then be reviewed by the council, which may at that point select a contractor and proceed with the analysis.

up very quickly when it comes to implementation.

The finance committee, headed by resident Jeff Sturgis, came up with three options for the city: stay with the current county contract; form a joint powers authority (JPA) or share services with other North County cities; or form a Del Mar Police Department.

Mosier and Councilwoman Sherryl Parks said they’d like to see the city embark on conversations with neighboring communities such as Encinitas or Rancho Santa Fe before spending any money on a study. Mosier said if there is no interest after those conversations take place, then the consultant will have one less option on the table to explore. He also said he would like to get a better idea of what the community wants.

Nominations open for World of Children Award

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Having grown up in a Brooklyn bungalow sharing one bathroom with 10 other immigrant families, local resident Harry Leibowitz has a good sense of what it’s like to be raised without much.

Harry and Kay Leibowitz “Kids don’t ask for run the nonprofit behind what they get; they just get it,” said Lei- the World of Children bowitz, who began Award. COURTESY PHOTO working full time at the age of 14 to support his family and put himself through school, his studies eventually carrying him through a successful and fruitful career as a marketing executive.

Being sensitized to less fortunate children through his own childhood experiences is only part of the motivation behind Leibowitz’s creation of the World of Children Award, which recently issued its 2013 call for nominations of selfless individuals serving vulnerable children. Dubbed the “Nobel Prize® for Child Advocacy,” the nonprofit has for 15 years identified prominent changemakers and granted funds to advance their efforts in improving children’s lives worldwide. The deadline for 2013 nominations is on April 1. Leibowitz runs the organization with is wife, Kay. The World of Children Award sets itself apart from other charities in that it conducts an extensive investigation by a third-party company to evaluate potential awardees. Funding is also dispersed over several years, with awardees reporting back to the organization regularly and meeting guidelines to ensure the money is being used to its full potential.

The organization also keeps in touch with its awardees and continues helping them serve children for many years after their award.

“I get up 5 a.m. and I’m on the computer and phone after that,” said Leibowitz. “On a typical day, I spend at least three hours doing nothing but communicating with past honorees.”

The award has three categories. The World of Children Youth Award, which carries a minimum grant of $25,000, recognizes a young person under the age of 21 who is making extraordinary contributions to the lives of other children. The World of Children Humanitarian Award is no less than $50,000 and recognizes someone making significant contributions to children in social services, education or humanitarian services.

The World of Children Health Award, also $50,000, recognizes the fields of health, medicine or the sciences. In that category the awardee has created or managed a sustainable program which has significantly contributed to the health and well-being of children. Nominees for the World of See AWARD, Page B29

Former NFL pro helps launch academy Test West Football Academy prepares NFL prospects for Combine

BY KAREN BILLING Local resident and former NFL pro Jeff Garcia is partnering with 4S Ranch’s Velocity Sports Performance to usher in a new brand of football training and launch the TEST West Football Academy.

Garcia is taking part in the rebirth of Velocity, a facility that concentrates on all levels of athletes from youth and high school players to collegiate level and adults. No matter what the sport, Garcia said Velocity brings the best training expertise.

Garcia, who has 18 years of professional football experience, including 12 seasons in the NFL, offers up his knowledge and passion to the football side of operations at Velocity. With TEST West, Garcia is helping prepare NFL prospects for the NFL Combine in February with an eight-week training program.

“It’s a lot of work but it’s what I know and what I’ve been doing all my life, I want to share the methods, the desire, the determination, work ethic, drive and commitment within yourself that you need to have,” Garcia said.

Ability will only take you so far, Garcia said, and he wants to ensure Velocity athletes have the right mindset and focus to conquer whatever dreams they might have.

Garcia is excited to partner with Velocity, which in the last year went from 9,000 square feet to 14,450 square feet, including 6,000 square feet of indoor turf, two batting cages and an expanded weight room. The space also houses complete medical and therapy facilities.

They are still putting final touches on the renovation with fresh coats of paint and creating an upstairs lounge area for athletes.

Garcia calls the huge space “an adult’s playground” and he loves getting to come there and having the room to do training activities, such as flipping tires.

TEST West is a new branch of the TEST Football Academy that has been training football players since 1992.

TEST began with training facilities in New Jersey but has recently opened a training facility at Florida International University in Miami, as well as launching TEST West.

Carmel Valley costume designer brings young playwrights’

Alina Bokovikova is the lead costume designer for the Playwrights Project, a performance taking place Feb. 1-9 and featuring the work of four emerging teenage playwrights.

visions to fruition

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Do what you love and you will succeed.

That’s not only the philosophy that has driven Carmel Valley resident Alina Bokovikova to become a successful costume designer, but it’s what fuels her excitement to work on a project that helps young playwrights get their careers off the ground.

As the lead costume designer for the Playwrights Project’s 28th season of its annual festival of Plays by Young Writers, Bokovikova will be working with four local teenage playwrights whose scripts were evaluated by a panel of theater professionals and chosen from 149 submissions from around the state. The winners of the Playwrights Project’s annual California Young Playwrights Contest will have their work produced professionally and performed at the Lyceum Theatre on Feb. 1-9.

“These plays are in the development process, so you really have to be experienced to do a project like this,” said Bokovikova of creating visual representations of the teenage playwrights’ work. “There are so many changes throughout the process, and it’s not a classic set … It’s exciting because you can suggest something that will later on be in the play, and since we are the first vision, it’s like a premiere, which makes it very fulfilling if the play gets recognized.”

Whereas Bokovikova, who has done

costume design for more than 40 plays in San Diego since she moved here five years ago, normally works on one play at a time, she said the Playwrights Project also presents an interesting challenge because she is working on four plays at once. The program is divided into two parts, one featuring two full-length plays from students ages 11 to 15 and the other showcasing the work of two students ages 16 to 18. The Playwrights Project also includes a professional producer, stage manager, scenic designer, technical director, lighting designer and sound designer.

The North Coast Repertory Theater in Solana Beach donates its costume stock to help support the project.

After two months of collaborative meetings, presentations and rendering-making, Bokovikova is putting the final touches on costumes, a process she’s been overseeing every aspect of — a change from the larger productions she normally does.

“Ideally when I work in big theaters they have a shop that makes the costumes,” she said. “Normally I make the designs and there is someone else in charge of sewing and building. This project is lower budget, so I’m doing everything from the designing to the sewing to the shopping.”

A native of Russia, Bokovikova was an art teacher before she moved to the United States and didn’t become interested in cos-

tume design until she landed in Northern California about a decade ago. Taking community college classes to learn English, she also enrolled in an art history course because she thought the familiarity factor would help her learn the language.

“My instructor was a costume designer and she said to me one day, ‘Alina, I know that everyone is Russia knows how to sew,’ and she knew this because she was from Yugoslavia,” Bokovikova said.

Her instructor, who eventually became somewhat of a mentor in costume design, was right — Bokovikova remembers how every young girl in Russia took at least five years of sewing classes, just as the boys took classes in practical skills like woodworking.

“When I grew up [in Russia], there wasn’t everything in the stores like there is here,” she said. “You had to learn how to sew if you wanted to wear something a bit

different, to be able to express yourself … In school we had uniforms and everything was more restricted in Russia at that time.”

Bokovikova, a mother of two girls and a boy, ages 8 to 15, said her daughters have followed in her footsteps. Her youngest, Sophia, asked for a sewing mating for her birthday last year, and Bokovikova said she has even used the simple device for her own designs.

A teacher of costume design at the University of California, San Diego, Bokovikova is letting the Playwrights Project be an educational experience not only for teenage playwrights but also for her graduate students, who are helping with the production.

Bokovikova also teaches a class on the history of costumes at San Diego’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.

‘Best crab from around the globe’ make its way to Truluck’s

BY KELLEY CARLSON seafood lover in San Diego doesn’t have to travel far to enjoy edible crustaceans from all over the world.

Truluck’s is a high-end establishment that offers fare from waters near and far, along with steaks. But it especially stands out for its crab.

“Our No. 1 point difference (from other seafood and steak houses) is that we are committed to buying the best crab that money can buy from around the globe,” said Todd Perry, managing partner of Truluck’s La Jolla location.

The privately held chain — which has nine additional restaurants in Florida and Texas — obtains much of its crab from the fisheries it owns in south Florida. Truluck’s operates 30 boats that catch Florida stone crabs daily.

The crustaceans are cooked on the dock, packed in ice and jetted to the restaurants, less than 24 hours after they are trapped.

Along with Florida stone crab, the La Jolla site serves Pacific stone crab, which it buys from an exclusive source. The establishment also sells “the largest Alaskan red king crab legs you can buy,” Perry said.

Crab may be Truluck’s main focus, but other types of sustainable seafood are popular with guests, as well. One is the tender Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass (MSC certified), which rests on a bed of signature crab fried rice and practically melts in one’s mouth. Another is the Skuna Bay Salmon Bearnaise, featuring a mild, buttery and firm fish that is marbled with thin layers of fat and raised in glacier-fed Canadian waters.

The dish is served with Parmesan mashed

Truluck’s offers an array of other items, as well — from the Center Cut-Filet and Angus All Natural Ribeye steaks, to soups and salads.

Desserts are made from scratch in the pastry kitchen, including the rich Chocolate Bag, stuffed to the top with moist chunks of almond pound cake, cream cheese icing, whipped cream, macerated berries and accented with a sprig of mint.

As for drinks, there are classic cocktails and martinis in varieties such as brambleberry, tiramisu and the Manhattan.

Perry acknowledges that Truluck’s is “pretty pricey” by most standards, but there are offers that make the restaurant attractive.

Happy hour is celebrated daily with halfprice appetizers and cocktails.

Also, every evening is “date night,” allowing a couple to choose soup or salad, an entree and a shared dessert for about $40 per person.

Monday is all-you-can-eat stone crab — Florida or Pacific, depending on the season — when a person can feast on all the claws, soup, salad and sides they can manage in a sitting for $59. Finally, 50 sommelierselected bottles of wine are sold for halfprice on Wednesdays.

In addition to accolades for its cuisine and wine, the restaurant has been lauded for its service style. “We practice a particular brand of Southern hospitality,” Perry said.

“We’re very fortunate to have some of the best service staff in the country.”

Truluck’s showcases a timeless and classic decor that includes mahogany millwork and cove lighting. The lobby has a live-crab tank and fresh-crab displays. Seating areas include deep, semicircular leather booths in the dimly lit main dining room, which is accented with tubes of floating white orchids, mirrors and mounted fish; and two heated outdoor patios with fire pits.

In the lounge, bartenders shake things up behind an illuminated onyx bar. And every evening, there is live entertainment from a saxophonist/pianist or jazz pianist.

Torrey Hills School to hold popular annual father-daughter dance March 17

BY KAREN BILLING Every year that Torrey Hills Elementary School has been holding a fatherdaughter dance the organizers have tied in an art contest. Last year’s winning art went on promotional posters, but this year the winning artist’s dad-themed work will go on a T-shirt that all dance attendees receive.

Third grader Jaz Allison won the art contest this year and her art will be worn by about 70 to 80 girls on campus.

Dad’s Club member and dance planner Paul Matsumoto said this year’s T-shirts are just another way to ramp up excitement for their third annual fatherdaughter dance, which will be held on Sunday, March 17, at the Del Mar Marriott.

The day is so special it has become an all-day event — every year Little Locks in Torrey Hills blocks out a special time for dance attendees get their hair done.

By request, the event will begin early this year at 4:45 p.m. with a poolside reception where the girls can sample Shirley Temples.

Inside they will have music and dancing, as well as a repeat of a popular fea-

“That was a big hit with all the girls,” said Matsumoto.

The dance will feature a raffle with donated prizes from the local business community and dads. Last year the raffle had prizes with everything from American Girl dolls to bike equipment.

The dance raised over $3,000 for the Torrey Hills PTA last year. The amount raised was a big jump up from the year before when the dance brought in a little over $1,000 so Matsumoto hopes they can do the same this year.

Matsumoto expressed his appreciation to his dance committee members who have been very helpful in planning the event. They include Steve Kenney, Mike Fuller, Ramon Gallo, Robert Stein and Clarence Tinney, who may actually have to miss the dance due to military deployment.

“I’m a father of four and you realize how quickly they grow up and that they’d rather spend time with friends,” said Matsumoto whose oldest is now in high school. “My youngest daughter is the last one at Torrey Hills and she just loves the dance, it’s the big highlight of her year. For me, it’s just building memories for her and me. It’s the only event where my daughter gets to dress up and I have to get in my suit and I’m just with her.”

23rd Jewish Film Festival a passion project for all involved

BY ROB LEDONNE Maxine Geller has been attending the San Diego Jewish Film Festival since its inception 23 years ago. “I’ve always loved the films they show; their quality and diversity constantly stands out,” she said from her office in Del Mar where she works for Coldwell Banker. “I finally got involved volunteering a few years ago, and this year I’m co-chairing a kickoff event. Everything has grown tremendously since that very first festival.”

Geller isn’t exaggerating.

This year’s installment will run over the span of 11 days starting Feb. 7, and feature a whopping 47 films. According to a recent press release, it’s widely considered to be “the largest Jewish cultural event in San Diego,” and this year organizers are expecting upwards of 16,000 attendees to watch films that were produced in 10 countries around the world, making it one of the largest Jewish film festivals in the United States.

“This year we have a great roundup of films, they really do cover the gamut,” said Carmel Valley’s Elena

Zubarevsky, a senior manager for the US Independence Group, which is an underwriter for the festival. “We’re showcasing everything from documentaries to romantic comedies to thrillers. It’s exciting when I first read the program and see the synopsis (for the various films), I can’t wait to check them out. I went through the schedule with some friends, and we’re planning on attending every night.”

Like Geller, Zubarevsky fell in love with the event the first time she attended the festival in 2007. “My parents were underwriters, and when I moved to San Diego I wanted to get more involved in the Jewish community. I enjoyed going [to the festival] my first time so much, I decided to become an underwriter for the first time in 2008.”

According to Zubarevsky, the Jewish Film Festival is important for a number of reasons: “First off, we don’t get exposure to the kind of films (we’re showing) in the mainstream media, so people wouldn’t have another opportunity to see what’s on

Paul Simon’s film “Under African Skies” will be shown on opening night at the San Diego Jewish Film Festival. (Simon is in the photo above, second from left).

our schedule anywhere else.

In addition, it’s a great way for the community to get together and challenge their views on things. Not all of these movies are portraying Israel or Judaism in the best light. It’s a chance to talk about difficult topics, and have discussions about them.”

Geller echoes that sentiment, and says she’s most looking forward to the documentaries being shown. “I

love watching real people and their real life stories. Like this year’s opening night film, which is Paul Simon’s ‘Under African Skies.’” In addition to the Simon documentary (which focuses on the apartheid in Africa and the making of his classic 1986 album “Graceland”), other highlights of the festival include “Dorfman,” a comedy starring Elliot Gould and Sara Rue; “Hava Nagila,” a documentary about the song; and

“Hitler’s Children,” a heartwrenching documentary which has been previously shown throughout Europe about the descendants of Nazis, many of whom are talking for the first time about their family history.

“The lineup this year is pretty rich compared to previous iterations,” explained Mark Kaufman, a La Jolla financial advisor who is also behind this year’s festival, as well as its signature Flix-Mix

event, which is geared toward younger audiences in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. “It should be a lot of fun.”

Kaufman also delved into the significance of the festival: “I think it’s important both internally within the Jewish community, and for the outside community too. We’re opening up so people can see the diversity of the Jewish people.”

Adds Zubarevsky: “We also have a few directors and actors coming to talk about their films, so audiences will get the chance to see the movie and get its background as well.

“It’s way more than just your average movie-going experience on a Friday night.”

The San Diego Jewish Film Festival will be held in four different theaters across San Diego: Carlsbad’s Reading Cinemas 14 (4665 Clairemont Dr.) and Dove Library (1775 Dove Lane); San Marcos Stadium 18 (1180 W. San Marcos Blvd.) in San Marcos; and the Garfield Theatre (4126 Executive Drive), in La Jolla.

Masterful drama explores slavery’s effects on families

BY DIANA SAENGER Through his series of 10 plays, each set in a different decade, playwright August Wilson took a long look at life for the African American. “The Pittsburgh Cycle” earned two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. The Cygnet Theatre in Old Town is staging the first of the series, “Gem of the Ocean.”

The show takes place in 1904, shadowing the memory of slavery. Drifter Citizen Barlow arrives at the home of 87-year-old Aunt Esther in search of asylum and spiritual redemption. Esther is a powerful character who believes in holding on to where you came from, your roots and your ancestors.

She guides Citizen on a soaring, lyrical journey of spiritual awakening to the City of Bones.

Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray, who co-directs the production with Victor Mack, said he finds staging Wilson’s plays appealing for trying to capture the mood, thoughts and attitudes of the different decades.

“They all contain characters who are fully realized,” Murray said. “They don’t tend to have heroes and villains; they tend to be about people who have different philosophies and points of view that come into conflict. It’s interesting

San Diego native Laurance Brown stars as Citizen Barlow.

“As I’m watching this cast, I’m realizing there is something big and universal about the play,” Murray said. “Until you’re able to look inward and find your personal strength and live a life of integrity, you’re not able to move forward with life. We die as we live, I think is a political message

August wrote as he was dying with cancer. I read he denied himself pain medications so he could keep his mind lucid and finish the play.”

Much has been written about Wilson’s brilliant use of language in his plays.

Murray said it’s almost like music, it just flows.

“Our cast includes a mix of eight actors; some have performed in Wilson’s plays, some who are locally based, and some who bring new ideas to the play. I think it’s a good mix for some discoveries.

“This play is about a vast community of people who still have a direct connection to slavery. There’s a lot of discussion about what is freedom, and the of promise freedom not living up to itself because roadblocks have been set up to keep people from being free, politically economically, and socially.

We have to look at what that does to the soul of people with that legacy. I believe Wilson is trying to put tangible faces to people in this story and what the insult of human dignity does to people. When people fall, they fall hard, and usually it comes from not knowing who they are or what they are supposed to be.”

‘Japanese Farm Food’ cookbook author to appear at Chino Farm Nancy Singleton Hachisu is the next guest to the Good Earth/Great Chefs Series at The Chino Farm with her new cookbook “Japanese Farm Food.” This book signing and culinary event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 10, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at Chino Farm. The event will also feature a cooking demonstration and tasting

by Chef Singleton Hachisu, using fresh ingredients and winter vegetables from the farm.

The cookbook offers a unique window into life on a Japanese farm through the simple, clear-flavored recipes cooked from family crops and other local organic products.

Chino Farm, along with Milane Christiansen (founder and thirty-year owner of the former The Book Works) are honored to welcome Hachisu — chef, author, teacher and leader of Slow Food cooking for nearly 20 years. After graduating from Stanford, Hachisu moved from California to Japan in 1988 with the intention to stay for a year. Instead she fell in love with a farmer, the culture, and the food, and has made the country her home. Hachisu, her husband, and their three sons live in an 80-year-old traditional farmhouse on an organic farm in rural Japan.

In his glowing New York Times review, David Tanis, long-time friend of the Chinos and recent chef at Chez Panisse wrote, “the recipes for simple vegetable dishes, often flavored with only a bit of miso or a splash of sake are the most fascinating … mindful cooking with minimal ingredients can produce marvelous results.”

Chino Farm is located at 6123 Calzada Del Bosque, Rancho Santa Fe, 92067. Books can be preordered via email at greatchefsseries@gmail.com Note: Jonathan Waxman, who had to cancel his book signing earlier this year due to Hurricane Sandy, will be in town and will attend this event. He will also be signing copies of his cookbook “Italian, My Way.” The free event will be held outdoors, rain or shine.

Kling to lead panel at DM Foundation’s free educational financial seminar

BY CLAIRE HARLIN In her more than three decades working as a financial consultant, Carolyn Kling has seen her fair share of unethical asset managers for whom overcharging and risky investments are commonplace — and now the Del Mar resident has taken on the role of being those money managers’ worst nightmare.

As an investment advisor, Kling specializes in the due diligence that many investors skip — performing thorough investigations and assessments of every firm, institution, strategy or combination thereof that makes up a client’s investment portfolio. On Feb. 5 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center, the founder of Kling Partners will be offering insight she hopes will help people avoid putting their money in the wrong hands.

A Del Mar Foundation board member, Kling will moderate a panel of four experts in the free Del Mar Foundation seminar, “Who’s Managing Your Money?”, part of the foundation’s Tax and Estate Planning Seminar Series. Panelists include:

Herb W. Morgan, CEO and chief investment officer at Efficient Market Advisors; Carlee Harmonson, senior vice president and regional director of trust and estate services for The Private Bank at Union Bank; Paul Spitzer, founder of Advanced Practice Advisors; and Carolyn Taylor, president of Weatherly Asset Management.

Kling takes on an objective role in her practice, not telling people what to invest in but what not to invest in.

Like an auditor, she assesses a client’s portfolio inside and out, performing discussions with every money manager involved and evaluating every cost and fee to make sure the investor is benefitting from the highest level of performance and not falling victim to any form of financial abuse.

Even those who have chosen to be their own money managers, buying and selling their own securities, have sought out Kling Partners to assess how they are doing.

“I don’t care how well invested you are, you can always improve upon your portfolio,” said Kling. “One of the biggest mistakes peo-

Carolyn Kling, founder of Kling Partners. ple are making is they are not rebalancing; they aren’t making changes on an ongoing basis … Investors need to have someone thoroughly review their portfolios a minimum of once a quarter.”

Not only is the financial landscape always changing, but so are people’s lives, Kling said.

“For example, when people start having children they must start putting away for college,” she said.

Make Everyday Valentine’s Day

“If they are getting older and retiring they need to reevaluate their portfolio and their trust and how they are funded because trusts are useless if they are not appropriately funded.”

Just like technology, progress in the financial world brings not only more opportunity but more risk and a greater learning curve, Kling said.

“It’s a frightening world today because technology and institutional traders are buying and selling all day long,” she said. “We are able to invest all over the globe, but there are a lot of risks involved with investing in other parts of the world.”

Kling also said that a lot more people are seeking out investment advisors such as herself because investment scandals such as that of Bernie Madoff have become more and more prominent.

“He’s just one,” she said. “In my industry I hear of cases like this all the time.”

Kling has a personal passion for saving investors from financial mishap, and her dedication is rooted in a family hardship she endured about 40 years ago when her

father passed away at the age of 52. Working as a legal clerk in the district courts at that time, Kling was only in her early 20s but jumped feet first into helping her mother sell the family business and consolidate the estate.

“I went in and hired the right advisors,” she said.

“Fortunately I worked in the courts and I knew who the best lawyers were.”

Once resolved, Kling realized she never wanted to end up in the same situation as her mother, who was in the dark about family financial decisions and at a total loss when her husband passed.

“My quest to educate myself also became my career path,” Kling said. “That experience was the catalyst, but I realized I had a knack for it … I like the analytics and I like to tear everything apart and analyze it.”

Kling then went on to earn a graduate degree in economics as well as the appropriate licensing for investment and insurance consulting, the tools she would need to proceed into a fruitful decades-long career. Beginning work at a

large estate planning firm in the 1970s, she progressed to work at a large investment firm in New York specializing in pension and institutional investments, and then moved to Del Mar in 1986. She moved away in the mid 1990s when she landed a position in Colorado heading up marketing efforts for a major institutional investment platform, but returned to Del Mar in 2004 when she started Kling Partners.

Her years of experience working alongside financial managers led into her current role of policing those managers. She also participates in a number of speaking engagements, mainly about due diligence relating to alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity and real estate.

“I am just educating people to be careful and hire the right people to manage their money,” she said.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Thriving BMW of Vista sells ‘a driving and lifestyle experience’

BY KATHY DAY In the year since Mossy opened BMW of Vista, the dealership has become the fastest growing one west of the Rockies in terms of volume, according to general manager Brian Kennedy.

He attributes that growth of more than 350 percent to demand for the luxury cars, as well as because buyers are searching for what he called “the premium alternative� in customer service. “We are selling a driving and lifestyle experience,� he said.

One prospective customer who had always dreamed of owning a BMW came in for a test drive and came out laughing. “He had so much fun. It rose to the childhood level of excitement,� Kennedy said.

He also said he has had customers who have owned BMWs through the years who come in to drive new models and tell him “they can’t understand how the new car can knock their socks off again.�

Kennedy talked about the new 300 series Bimmers – an affectionate term for the autos, while Beemer is accepted slang for BMW motorcycles. The newest edition gets more than 30 miles per gallon and has better handling, and Kennedy said, “you can lease one in the $300 range and that includes maintenance.�

Kennedy, who ran Mossy Automotive Group’s Toyota dealership in Pacific Beach for seven years, said they carry Mossy’s “Discover the Mossy Difference� motto to a new level. “We go out of our way to create a customer-first environment,� he said, noting that they aim to get customers coming in for service out in five minutes – with a service loan car — if they have an appointment. But if someone wants to stick around and talk with their service adviser,

they welcome that too, he said.

With more than 50 employees, the dealership is keen on “hiring good people before good salespeople,� he added. “We want sales people that enjoy driving and can relate that to our customers.�

While they are waiting, customers can enjoy fresh-baked cookies and French-roasted coffee. They also offer car washes to BMW owners six days a week — whether they purchased their car at the Mossy dealership or not, Kennedy said.

On top of that, they host “a lot of fun times for repeat customers,� such as drawings for prizes such as a visit to a BMW driving school and happy hour with a local brewery. They also have a visible role in the community, supporting such causes as the Moonlight Cultural Foundation and the Semper Fi Fund.

Located adjacent to Highway 78 on Hacienda Drive in a converted Circuit City store,

The only place in town for quality cuts and shaves!

Mossy BMW of Vista has hundreds of new and preowned cars in inventory. It is one of seven dealerships in the Mossy San Diego family. The business began in 1921 in New Orleans and came to San Diego in 1982.

Kennedy, a Vista High and UCLA graduate, who lives in Carlsbad and has children at Horizon Prep, urged anyone interested in BMWs “whether they are going to buy today, tomorrow or never� to stop by and say hi. “It’s definitely worthwhile to make a trip.�

February is the coolest month for ArtPower’s offerings

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT If you haven’t experienced ArtPower yet, February would be a fine time to start.

What is ArtPower? It’s a program at UCSD designed to pump up cultural life on campus and in the community by presenting exciting performances from around the world. Innovative dance companies and hip combos of classical, jazz, and roots musicians are the norm here, and there are many opportunities to interact with the artists at intermissions. “We bring artists and audiences together to create, participate, energize and celebrate,� said Martin Wollesen, artistic director of ArtPower.

February’s lineup is something worth celebrating. Along with a return visit from AP regulars, the renowned Emerson String Quartet (Feb. 10 at Prebys Concert Hall), there are a half-dozen special events that sound very intriguing. • First up (Feb. 7 at The Loft), and most unusual, is The Animal Cracker Con-

The Conspiracy is actually a pair of local puppeteer/artists, Bridget Rountree and Iain Gunn, who have been working on “The Collector� for more than three years, and saw it win three awards at the San Francisco Fringe Festival, including Best of Fringe. “We’ve created a compelling new way of sto-

Del Mar’s Parking Ordinance Must Change EXHIBIT “A” PROPERTIES THAT WERE GRANTED PERMITS IN SPITE OF NON-COMPLIANT PARKING 1101 - 1105 Camino del Mar, Sushi Japone Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 2,250 square-foot building built in 1980 after the 1:90 parking ordinance took effect. It contains 1250 square feet of restaurant space and the 1,000 square feet of office/retail space, but has only 9 on-site parking spaces, instead of the 17 spaces required by the parking ordinance. Additionally, there is no recorded easement on the adjacent property through which 2 of the parking spaces are accessed.

1140 Camino del Mar, Café Secret Café Secret was enlarged in 2008 with new café tables and trellis located on private property east of the public sidewalk, however no parking was provided for this new outside dining area located private property. Resolution PC-02-08 approved this trellis even though it: (a) reduces the width of the required sidewalk and landscape easement to less that 10 feet in width as required by 30-08-090-D and, (b) creates a public safety hazard for the diagonal parking space to the south.

1212 - 1224 Camino del Mar, Board & Brew In 1977 The City Council approved the expansion of Board & Brew subject to an off-site parking lease for 7 parking spaces located at 1234 Camino del Mar. However Michael Polen’s letter dated July 10, 2012 acknowledges that this offsite parking lease expired on October 31, 1977.

1247 Camino del Mar, Zel’s Zel’s, located at 1247 Camino del Mar is a 1127 square foot building was converted from office to restaurant space in 1983 by Mr. Dominelli who received permits for a “take-out deli” with an additional 946 square feet of outside dining area. However, Del Mar allowed it to operate as a restaurant called Café Del Mar, even though it had only 3 parking spaces instead of 13 parking spaces required by Del Mar’s parking ordinance.

Consideration for this oversight was a brown envelope containing ponzi-scheme funds from J. David’s defrauded investors. In April 1985 an attempt was made to legalize this permit by filing a request for “Variance” for Café del Mar, and although never processed, this Variance application is still in the City files and it acknowledges that the restaurant was currently operating with only a take-out “Deli” use permit. It also lists two other properties, which were also

operating as restaurants, even though they only had “take-out deli” permits. The City claims to have no records regarding how this restaurant was created.

215 Fifteenth Street, Sbicca Sbicca, located at 215 Fifteenth Street is a 1600 square foot, two-story restaurant with outside dining located on private property on both the first and second floor as well as a sidewalk café recently constructed in the sidewalk right-ofway. Sbicca has no on-site parking spaces. It was originally opened as a take-out “Deli” but converted to restaurant use in 1986 with an off-site Lease for 18 parking spaces located at 1234 Camino del Mar. The City has acknowledged that there is no signage directing Sbicca patrons to this off-site parking lot, and they have no evidence that this off-site parking Lease is still in effect, since the recorded document provided that the Lease could be canceled by giving 30-days notice. Sbicca has constructed additional inside restaurant areas and outside dining areas since 1986, but no parking was provided for the expanded restaurant use.

1342 Camino del Mar, El Fuego 1342 Camino del Mar was a restaurant long before Del Mar’s incorporation, but Variance V-787 documents that in the 1970’s the property was leased to a “take-out deli” called El Pescador Fish Market.

The City Council approved Variance application V-78-07 granting an increase in building area from 3595 square feet to 4083 square feet, however this approval was conditioned on half the space remaining as a “take-out deli” and half the space allowed for restaurant use. It stated that the non-conforming rights for full restaurant use had been extinguished, and it prohibited restaurant use for the downstairs. The City has acknowledged there was no waiver granted to allow restaurant use for the downstairs. In 2009 the City Council approved enlargement of El Fuego to 4960 square feet and the Staff Report acknowledged that an additional 44 parking spaces would be required in order for the property to comply with Del Mar’s parking ordinance.

In 2010 the City approved El Fuego’s sharedparking application allowing El Fuego to enlarge 5633 square feet. The City has acknowledged that El Fuego existing use was non-conforming in terms of both FAR and parking spaces however this enlargement of El Fuego’s non-conforming use was allowed despite Zoning Code section 30.22.034, Continuation and Abatement of Non-Conforming Use of Street-Frontage Building Spaces. [Ord. 824] which states:

A. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Del Mar Municipal Code, a nonconforming use in a Street- Frontage Building Space may continue unless or until . . . The use is extended or enlarged.

B. Where one of the events identified in Subsection A of this section occurs, the legal nonconforming use shall cease and any and all future uses shall conform with the provisions of this Chapter.”

1555 Camino del Mar, The Del Mar Plaza The Plaza Specific Plan for the development and use of 1555 Camino del Mar was approved in November 1986, by a citywide vote. Page 11 of the Plaza Specific Plan states: F. Outdoor Dining - Outdoor dlning shall be allowed on terraces associated with restaurant space provided an equivalent amount of interior restaurant square footage is not used during service of outdoor diners. Total interior and exterior dining area in use shall not exceed 14,400 square feet.

However The Plaza’s website lists 7 restaurant with indoor space totaling 25,342 square feet, and outdoor dining areas of approximately 8,000 square feet, calculated as follows: Del Mar Rendezvous Flavor Del Mar II Fornaio Enoteca Del Fornaio Pacifica Del Mar Pacifica Breeze Café Shimbashi Izakaya Smashburger TOTAL INSIDE FOOTAGE

1,987 sf 4,260 sf 6,883 sf 607 sf 6,453 sf 1,168 sf 1,652 sf 2,332 sf 25,342 sf

On July 22, 2009, the Plaza management (DRA Advisors, LLC) wrote a letter to the City saying restaurant vitality is the most important component of the Plaza. This letter requested approval of a minor deviation to the Plaza Specific Plan, which limited total interior and exterior dining areas to a maximum of 14,400 square feet. The Planning Department’s Staff Report prepared for the July 27, 2009 City Council hearing stated: Currently the existing establishments use approximately 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor areas for restaurant uses. The subsequent City Council vote was obviously based on an incorrect staff report, because the Plaza’s total interior and exterior dining area is more than twice the amount approved by the Plaza Specific Plan; and any substantial modification to the Plaza Specific Plan requires a citywide vote. Thus the City has failed to enforce the Plaza Specific Plan.

1435 Camino del Mar Starbucks and Brueggler’s Bagels 1435 Camino del Mar is a 5,384 square foot building with 15 on-site parking spaces and 2184 square feet of downstairs food-serving use for Starbucks and Bruegger’s Bagels. The building was constructed in 1987 after the 1:90 parking standard took effect, thus requiring a minimum of 34 on-site parking spaces. 1435 Camino del Mar was originally developed as a portion of the Plaza Specific Plan, with the Plaza’s parking structure providing a portion of its parking requirements; however 1435 Camino del Mar and 1555 Camino del Mar are currently under separate ownerships. The City claims that 1435 Camino del Mar has a 15-space recorded parking easement in the Plaza’s parking garage.

The actual easement for these 15 parking spaces states that the document is non-recordable, expires with expiration of the Union Bank Lease, and is not intended to be relied on for meeting the City’s parking requirements.

1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar Library On June 25, 2008 the City Council unanimously approved a resolution granting approval for a new Library wing for the Del Mar Library, based on 14 on-site parking spaces and 8 curbside parking spaces which were counted in order to satisfy the parking requirement for 22 spaces.

This Staff Report states that at the Council meeting of November 15, 1993 the Council determined that: the required parking would be satisfied, based on City parking standards, by counting the parking on the alley and the 3 adjacent street parking spaces along 13th Street.

Additionally, on April 16, 2007, the Council determined that the 4 adjacent public spaces on Camino del Mar would also count towards the public parking requirements for the Library.

If City parking standards allow curbside spaces to count towards a project’s parking inventory, then all commercial properties should have the same rights as the Library; otherwise curbside parking spaces should not have been included as part of the Library’s parking inventory.

1330 Camino del Mar This property has 4,700 square feet of office space consisting of a 1,200 square foot historic building fronting on Camino del Mar and a 3,000 square foot additional building constructed in 1984. It provides only 2 parking spaces instead of 10 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at that time.

910 Camino del Mar Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 7,827 square foot building built in 1984 but it provides only 24 parking spaces instead of 26 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at the time it was built.

915 Camino del Mar Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 7,164 square foot building built in 1985 but it provides only 24 parking spaces instead of 26 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at the time it was built.

1125 Camino del Mar Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 6,183 square foot building built in 1972 but it provides only 17 parking spaces instead of 20 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at the time it was built.

1130 Camino del Mar Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 7,590 square foot building built in 1984 but it provides only 15 parking spaces instead of 25 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at that time.

1135 Camino del Mar Del Mar’s Parcel Survey describes the property as a 5,287 square foot building built in 1973 but it provides only 9 parking spaces instead of 18 parking spaces required by the 1:300 parking ordinance in effect at that time.

EXHIBIT “B” SUMMARY OF DEL MAR’S PARKING RESOLUTIONS: Parking Resolution 103 adapted on March 20, 1967 required restaurants that were developed after that date to provide 1 parking space per 90 square feet of inside restaurant space and 1 parking space per 300 square feet of office or retail space.

The following restaurants were created or enlarged after March 20, 1967, but do not provide 1:90 parking for inside restaurant space: Sushi Japone, Board & Brew, Zel’s, El Fuego, Crepes & Corks and Sbicca, No other restaurant in Del Mar’s Central Commercial Zone (except 1201 Camino del Mar) has ever been required to

provide one parking space per 90 square foot of inside restaurant space as required by Parking Ordinance #103 adapted on March 20, 1967.

Parking Resolution 536 adapted on July 17, 1989 required restaurants developed after that date to provide 1 parking space per 90 square feet for outside dining areas.

The following restaurants have outside dining areas created or enlarged after July 17, 1989 but do not provide 1:90 parking for outside dining areas: Café Secret, Board & Brew, Zel’s, Crepes & Corks, El Fuego, Starbucks, Bruegger’s Bagels, Smashburger, and Sbicca.

No other restaurant in Del Mar’s Central Commercial Zone (except 1201 Camino del Mar) has ever been required to provide one parking space per 90 square foot of outside dining area as required by Parking Ordinance 536 adapted on July 17, 1989.

In 1967 there were only 3 restaurants in Del Mar’s Central Commercial Zone. Today the Del Mar Village Association website lists 26 restaurants. The City claims that all these restaurants comply with the parking ordinance, yet none of them provide the necessary parking required by the applicable parking ordinance at the time they were created. The City claims to maintain project files representing applications for actual administrative or discretionary permits on a permanent basis, however The City has acknowledged that they have no documents to support how any of the above restaurants were created or enlarged.

Parking Ordinance Section 30.80.150 allows offsite parking subject to: (a) A 15-year recorded lease if the 2 properties have common ownership, or (b) A recorded covenant on the benefitted property and a 15-year recorded lease if the 2 properties are not in common ownership. (c) Evidence of lease renewal after 15 years or reduction in benefitted property’s intensity of use. (d) Signage at each location for direction to parking and identification of parking spaces involved.

The following restaurants have off-site parking but no recorded easements or signage as required by Section 30.80.150: Secret Garden, El Fuego, Crepes & Corks, Sbicca, Starbucks, and Bruegger’s Bagels.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Solana Beach native and owner of Yoga80 an ambassador in yoga community

BY CLAIRE HARLIN While yoga is a solitary practice in many ways, it’s in large part a collective effort — from moving through postures in unison alongside classmates to making friends in the studio to creating a sense of community. That’s why the yoga gurus behind local studio Yoga80 pair new members with experienced yogis as a way to provide mentorship, increase accountability and take the intimidation factor out of the practice.

“We call it our Ambassador Program, and it’s such a great way to introduce members to our community,” said Rob Pastor, who operates the Sorrento Valley studio alongside owner Reegan Lessie, a Solana Beach native. “Yoga is a very social business and the studios that create a community create long-term students, and it’s long-term students who really excel at the practice.”

Reegan and Pastor know first hand about the importance of community in yoga. The couple met more than five years ago at Encinitas studio Yoga Tropics. Not not only have they been dating ever since, but they’ve collectively made Yoga 80, located at 10999 Sorrento Valley Road, the studio it is today — one that has a loyal following of members, a specially crafted concept and curriculum, and one of the highest levels of yoga teacher training in greater San Diego. The name of the studio signifies the temperature at which

all classes are taught — Lessie feels 80 degrees is the perfect temperature at which Vinyasa yoga should be taught, and made that the signature of her studio.

Lessie, 35, started practicing as a teenager at the Bikram College of India in Leucadia, and taught her first class at the age of 21 at her aunt’s Solana Beach karate studio, American Family Marital Arts.

She later attended Bikram teacher ning in Los Angeles, and while training she worked as a realtor for a short e, she knew yoga was her time, life goal. She taught Bim yoga in New Zeakram d for about a year beland fore returning to teach in her home studio in cadia Leucadia while king for her looking n studio. own “There are so many yoga dios studios out e, so I was there, king for a looking placee where theree was no a,” she said. yoga,” en When she nd her curfound rent studio on Craigslist in 2008, she knew it was the perfect location to serve Carmel Valley and Del Mar, as well as the thousands who work in offices in Sorrento Valley.

and investor and slowly took hold of the business functions of the studio — resulting in the visibly positive personal and business relationship that the couple has today.

“I take care of the day-to day operations so we can give her more time to do what she does best, which is yoga,” Pastor said.

Lessie strategically develops programs and posture sequences that allow yogis of all levels to practice in the same studio, which sets the studio apart from many that designate classes by skill level. She said this cohabitation of varying expertise in one studio allows beginners to practice along more advanced

under Lessie and turn around COURTESY PHOTO to become instructors at Yoga80 themselves. In 2012, Lessie returned from training under Sri Dharma Mittra of the Dharma Yoga Center, one of the nation’s most iconic and influential instructors.

The oldest of 27 cousins, Lessie is a nurturer at heart and her passion is seeing peopeo ple have life changes through yoga. She said she finds ways to adapt the practice to anyone’s needs. She conducts private lessons with two autistic children, and she works regularly with an 85-year-old man who “arrives a little white in the face but leaves all pink and happy,” she said.

“It’s a way to connect businesses and events. Pastor and and get [people] to try Lessie hope to eventually expand norm something they normally wouldn’t,” she said, add- the service in other areas of the ing that every new stu- city or beyond.

Three concerts set for winter jazz series FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS Jazz returns to the music room of the Athenaeum for the library’s annual winter series at 1008 Wall St. Since seating is limited, early reservations are suggested.

• The 7:30 p.m. concerts open Feb. 7 with an Athenaeum debut by Los Angelesbased jazz vocalist Sara Gazarek, with Josh Nelson on piano, Hamilton Price on bass and Zach Harmon on drums.

A graduate of the Thelonious Monk Institute and USC’s Thornton School of Music, Gazarek has been turning musical heads since her 2007 debut album, “Return to You,” featuring her winning interpretations of jazz standards as well as contemporary and original songs.

• The music continues on Feb. 13 with another Athenaeum debut by the Norwegian-Dutch Mats Eilertsen Trio, featuring Eilertsen on bass, Harmen Fraanje on piano, and Thomas Strønen on drums.

Eilertsen is joined in this trio by top Dutch jazz pianist Fraanje, who made a stunning Athenaeum debut in 2009 with trumpeter Eric Vloeimans. Norwegian drum master Thomas Strønen rounds out the ensemble, himself a leader on several CDs. • The series ends Feb. 21 with the return of Road Work Ahead, a collective band co-led by pianist Bill Mays, guitarist Peter Sprague, bassist Bob Magnusson, and drummer Jim Plank.

The band stretches back to the 1980s when all four players were based in San Diego. Their last Athenaeum performance was in 2003, and they are reuniting to celebrate the issue of their latest new CD. Mays’ career has included work with Bud Shank, Sarah Vaughan, Shelly Manne, Gerry Mulligan, Clark Terry, Benny Golson, Bobby Shew, and the Mel Lewis Orchestra.

Guitarist Peter Sprague has been the leader of groups including Blurring the Edges and Brazil Jazz, and is known internation-

Sara Gazarek ally for his work with Dianne Reeves, Chick Corea, Hubert Laws, and David Benoit.

Bassist Magnusson has been featured on hundreds of recordings, and has worked with Sarah Vaughan, Bud Shank, Laurindo Almeida, Benny Golson, Shorty Rogers, and Art Pepper, among countless others.

Drummer Plank, percussionist for the San Diego Symphony, is equally adept in the world of jazz, having recorded with artists such as Laurindo Almeida and Mike Wofford.

St. James Church Healing Ministry offers monthy schedule

Del Mar Hills honors diversity

The Healing Prayer Ministry of St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach has been growing in number and recognition over the past several years. Under the direction of Pauline Wright and Lily Loh, the ministry has grown to 25 active members, all originally trained either through the MacNutt or Order of St. Luke classes, with ongoing instruction available year-round. The members adhere to an assigned monthly schedule offering healing prayer to all St. James parishioners and visitors after the 9 a.m. Mass on all Sundays; at 9 a.m. on first Mondays of the month; at 7 p.m. on second Tuesdays; and after the 5 p.m.

Mass on third Saturdays.

The Healing Prayer Ministry is guided by its four-member COR (“The Heart�) Team which gives direction and makes decisions for the ministry.

Quarterly Healing Masses are celebrated at St. James, 625 S. Nardo Ave., Solana Beach, either by their parish priests, priests from the San Diego Diocese, or priests from other areas.

Local high school boys from TVIA-SD2 prepare a special meal for Ronald McDonald House

On Jan. 11, high school boys from Teen Volunteers in Action, Chapter 2, volunteered to participate in a special meal prepared for children and families staying at Rady Children’s Hospital. The boys worked in the kitchen on a Mexican-themed dinner. Ronald McDonald House of San Diego is a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children being treated at San Diego area hospitals. Since 1980, Ronald McDonald House of San Diego has provided more than 140,000 nights of lodging to 14,000 families in need. A new House opened in July 2009, with 47 bedrooms and a Family Care Center to help make life easier for families dealing with a sick child. The Family Care Center serves as a day resource for any family with a child in the hospital, providing necessities to make their lives easier as they go through the most difficult times of their lives.

The boys, some of whom have been active members in TVIA since 7th grade, enjoyed their volunteer time. “There is nothing better then giving back and helping others, especially when you can do it next to your friends and make some delicious food!” For more information, www.tvia.org.

Horizon Christian Fellowship North County sponsors free eWaste drop-off fundraiser Recycle San Diego and Horizon Christian Fellowship North County have partnered to benefit the church’s ministry by hosting an eWaste Event on Saturday, Feb. 2, from 10 a.m.2 p.m. in the church’s parking lot at 6365 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Jeffrey Harding, the founder and president of Recycle San Diego, says, “It is always gratifying to partner with a not-for-profit institution like Horizon Christian Fellowship, whose mission and programs depend upon gifts and donations. We are happy to provide our recycling expertise and coordinate this eWaste Event that will divert lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals from our local landfill.”

Items that can be recycled include: computers, monitors, TVs, laptops, cables, printers, fax machines, scanners, DVD players, VCRs, and other electronic items.

Recycle San Diego reminds the public that it is illegal to dispose of e-Waste in the trash and California requires that companies recycle their e-Waste. California currently has the most comprehensive landfill ban in the nation, curbing both the illegal disposal and export of the largest category of toxic electronics which includes CRT TVs and computer monitors.

(From R to L): Del Sol Lions Linette Page, RosaLinda Ramirez and John Page, BikeWalkSolana Chairman Douglas Alden, members of BikeWalkSolana and Lion David Powell.

Del Sol Lions and BikeWalkSolana teaming up for local bike safety event on March 16 The Del Sol Lions Club and BikeWalkSolana announced a community partnership to host a Solana Beach Bike Safety Rodeo set for Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Skyline Elementary School.

The Solana Beach Bike Safety Rodeo is designed to teach elementary school students and their parents the importance of a fun and safe bike-riding experience through a series of interactive stations. The event will include important bike riding lessons like proper helmet fitting, how to perform a bike safety inspection, the rules of the road, and safe routes to school. Students need to bring their bike to the event and the Rodeo will include a skills assessment course with on-site instruction.

“The Del Sol Lions are excited to partner with BikeWalkSolana and donate $300 to this important event,” said Linette Page, president of the Del Sol Lions. “Children learn to ride a bike as early as 5 years old. Teaching kids to have a fun and safe experience on a bike early in life can pay dividends towards a long-term healthy lifestyle choice for the future.”

Practicing safe bicycle riding is an important community issue – especially in Solana Beach where pelotons of cyclists can be spotted on Highway 101 each weekend. Each year, more than 500,000 people in the U.S. are treated in emergency departments for bicycle-related injuries. Additionally, it is estimated that helmet use by children under 15 years old would prevent as many as 45,000 head injuries annually. Raising community awareness about the importance of bike safety can provide generations of safe bike riding for families in Solana Beach.

BikeWalkSolana is a local community group advocating for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities in Solana Beach. They serve to foster the growth of cycling and walking to improve the quality of life in the community by promoting it as a safe transportation alternative for residents and visitors.

“Biking and walking are an important piece of the fabric of our community and children should be encouraged to ride their bikes in safe conditions with permission from parents,” said Douglas Alden, chairman of BikeWalkSolana. “The Bike Safety Rodeo will provide parents and students with the knowledge to have a safe bike-riding family experience. This event puts the topic of bike safety to the forefront and will get parents talking with their kids about this healthy lifestyle choice.”

Parents and students are both encouraged to bring their bikes to the Solana Beach Bike Safety Rodeo on Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Skyline Elementary School, 606 Lomas Santa Fe Dr., Solana Beach, 92075. For more information, please contact: Linette Page at Del Sol Lions, 858-243-3336 or Douglas Alden at BikeWalkSolana, 858-344-8255.

The Del Sol Lions serve those in need and youth in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Carmel Valley. The club meets the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6 -7:30 p.m. at the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome. For more information, please visit www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/ delsol/.

Rancho Santa Fe home is Grand Prize in Ronald McDonald Dream House Raffle

BY KATHY DAY For the past nine years, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego has held its Dream House Raffle — only once has the winner taken the home.

Now there’s another chance to win a dream home. A $150 ticket could well be the key to a $3.2 million Rancho Santa Fe home. Participants also have a shot at more than 100 other prizes – including $25,000 cash in the first “Early Bird” drawing for those buying tickets by Feb. 8.

Chuck Day is president and CEO of the nonprofit that provides a home away from home with overnight lodging, warm meals and other supportive services to families with hospitalized children. He led a tour of the RSF property on Jan. 16.

“It’s exquisite,” he said, describing the five-bedroom, 6.5-bath home that includes a game room, 1,500-bottle wine room with a tasting bar, pool and extensive outdoor entertainment space. “It really is a home a family could live in.”

It features 7,700 square feet of luxury living on one of the Ranch’s premier golf courses.

Each year, Ronald McDonald House executives contact homeowners with property on the market, Day said. If they are interested in being involved in the Dream House Raffle, they take their home off the market while the raffle is held. In exchange they get an extensive marketing effort and may never have to put it back on the market, he added.

After the 2012 event, in which the winner – out of more than 32,000 tickets — chose a $1 million annuity instead of the $2.2 million home, Day said they stepped up in price in hopes of raising even more money.

Proceeds are used to “make sure we can run the house,” Day said.

Giving a nod to local McDonald’s owners and operators whose backing provides just 10 percent of the operating funds, he noted that this fundraiser and other activities account for the remaining monies needed to operated the 47-bedroom house.

Located just 300 steps from Rady Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House provides a place of “refuge and respite for moms and dads,” he added. Some who live close enough to get home at night

come and take breaks during the day while their children are in treatment or resting.

Others, whose children may be in the hospital for six months, live in the house and have access to private rooms, their own min-kitchens, a classroom for their other children, a chapel and even a beauty salon staffed by volunteers.

In 2012, they served more than 1,500 families “going through unimaginable stress” whose children had serious illness or injuries, Day said.

Those who purchase raffle tickets are in for all of the drawings, from the first Early Bird one through the final one for the house on May 18. And you can win more than one time, Day said. “Once you are in, you are in for all of the drawings.”

And, those buying more than one ticket get an equivalent number of entries in the multi-ticket drawing, which features more than $45,000 in prizes with the top prize a 2013 Porsche Boxster or $30,000.

This year the annuity option for the grand prize could be $1.6 million over 20 years or a $1.1 million one-time prize. All of the prizes, including the house, require that a minimum of 46,000 tickets – 51,000 are available — must be sold by May 3. To learn what happens if that many aren’t sold, read the rules on the contest website.

Ronald McDonald House Charities has a number other of ways to contribute to its efforts, from buying cleaning supplies or food to joining them at other events.

On June 27, the organization will hold its annual Red Shoe Day, with people at intersections around town collecting donations. Last year someone – either by accident or on purpose – dropped a diamond ring in.

It’s currently in safe keeping, but if it is not claimed within a year, it will be appraised and added to one of their silent auctions, Day said.

Other events include Tables for Tots auction in the summer and the annual ROMP Gala set for October. Learn more about what the nonprofit does and how you can help at www.rmhcsd.org/.

Tickets are available through May 3 by calling 888-824-9939 or visiting www.sdraffle.com for a registration form.

Touch down Super Bowl Sunday with foods from the seafood capitals The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Tailgate parties will be heating up throughout the Big Easy on Feb. 3 making a pit stop at New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome 6:30 p.m. ET. Super Bowl XLVII kicks off with a touch of Cajun spice, some San Francisco sourdough (the 49ers), Baltimore bivalves and crustaceans (Baltimore Ravens), and a friendly sibling rivalry as the Harbaugh bros vie against each other.

Paying homage to a pair of seasoned coaching brothers and a trio of seafood towns, here’s a primer on how to quarterback a winning Big Game shindig.

and European Creole flavors will spice up any party with such faves as Andouille and Boiudin sausages — push pedestrian bratwursts to the sidelines. Cut sausages in quarters and wrap in puff pastry for a riff on pigs in a blanket. Serve with Cajun dipping sauces with varying degrees of hotness. Po-Boys are monster stuffed sandwiches on French bread which can be swapped out for brown pumpernickel loaves, resembling edible footballs.

For pescavores, bake a heap of barbecue shrimp in their shells bathed in olive oil, garlic and bay leaves with a side of dirty rice or jambalaya.

Big Easy Gumbo, an okra seafood stew, can be tweaked by adding red and white kidney beans for a Super Bowl-friendly version. Traditional munchies include crunchy praline, a confection of pecans, brown sugar, butter and vanilla, or for savory palates sprinkle a dash of cayenne and sea salt.

Frisco Foods For some San Francisco treats, whip up a plate of sourdough bruschetta topped with pitted whole black olives reminiscent of mini footballs, or grilled Bay scallops with chopped garlic and tomatoes.

Knock-your-socks-off Super Bowl wings Ingredients 2 dozen chicken wings 3/4 cup hot sauce 1/4 cup butter 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan, heat low until butter is melted. Season wings with sea salt and cracked pepper.

Brush sauce liberally on wings. Bake until they reach 165 degrees. Cook on the grill until desired crispiness. (Use more butter to hot sauce for a milder heat to the

sauce).

For your just desserts, serve the “official state dessert” called Smith Island cake, a towering yellow cake layered with divine chocolate fudge icing.

wiches, soft pretzels, Turkishspiced donuts, Cap ‘n Crunch cod fish tacos, soft, mozzaellaesque burrata perfect for snacks and sandwiches, Italian ices and handcrafted sodas.

Local Wing King These quintessential Super Bowl eats must be prepared with masterful technique — you can’t just wing it. Chef Matt Ham of The Commons in The Gaslamp District brings his eclectic pub grub skills to this fledgling sports bar. This wing specialist serves roughly 4,000 meaty monster buffalo wings a week, offered in 10 flavors from volcanic honey mustard to spicy ranch that go down nicely with local craft beers from Stone Brewery and Ballast Point.

For San Francisco 49ers fans, Chef Matt recommends Chinatown-inspired wing sauces and garnishes like sesame seeds, hoison sauce and chopped scallions, while Ravens fans can add assorted chopped peppers to the hot sauce. Always have blue cheese and ranch dressings on hand for dipping with celery and carrot sticks.

In honor of Chinatown, serve some Asian fingerfoods including, sesame jumbo shrimp, football-shaped chicken balls, veggie spring rolls with ginger-mango dipping sauce and a pile of almond cookies and custom-made chocolate-dipped fortune cookies with kitschy messages inside.

Of course, San Francisco (or the upper East Bay city of Martinez) lays a solid claim as any to the origin of the martini. So shake up a batch, James Bond-style. Do a purple marti-

ni representative of the color of the Ravens uniforms and bursting with antioxidant blueberry or grape juices, or a cranberry martini paying tribute to the red threads of the 49ers.

San Diego Musical Theatre will present “Chicago, the musical” Feb. 15-March 3.

Based in the roaring 1920s, Chicago chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap … until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, for-tune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse. Broadway’s all-time killer hit!

During the program, the players stay on a schedule during the day doing agility training, lifting weights and working on position-specific skills. Out on the field, Garcia goes through all the drills alongside the young men; he’s still in terrific shape and moves quickly and sharply.

Ron Sparks to head Prudential San Diego’s training, recruiting efforts Prudential California Realty announced recently that Ron Sparks has been named manager of recruiting and education for San Diego. “Ron is a tremendous asset to our company,” said David M. Cabot, president and CEO of Prudential. “He is not only capable of drawing from his diverse experience in real estate to form thought-provoking insights, but also proficient with transferring his ideas to paper or communicating them to large audiences.”

Previously the director of education and recruiting for a major brokerage in San Diego, Sparks has earned national recognition for his ability to develop engaging training materials, managerial skills and talent as a motivational speaker. A 30-year veteran of the real estate industry, his background includes time spent as a mortgage loan officer, manager and top producing agent.

Most recently Sparks held the position of managing vice president for a large residential brokerage in the state of Washington, with 32 regional offices. As the general sales manager and corporate media spokesperson, he devel-

oped a talent for helping his agents deliver successful closings and became one of the most frequently quoted real estate professionals in the Northwest, appearing in such media outlets as HGTV’s “Million Dollar Room,” Ron Sparks KIRO-TV and radio, and the Puget Sound Business Journal.

“It’s an honor for me to be with an industry leader like Prudential,” notes Sparks, “and I look forward to many years of helping the company’s sales associates chart a path to success.”
