Design review, roundabouts issues raised at Del Mar Prop J meeting BY CLAIRE HARLIN If you live in Del Mar, you’ve probably received your fair share of political signs, mailers or visits from campaigners, but if you’re like the some 30 residents who attended a city question-and-answer session about Prop J on Oct. 16, you might also have a fair share

of questions. The city held a public workshop to answer questions regarding the Nov. 6 ballot measure, a plan that will guide revitalization efforts in downtown Del Mar, implementing a number of changes, including a height limit increase, roundabouts and a parking structure.
For much of the meeting, residents crowded around Seth Torma, a traffic engineer with Katz, Okitsu & Associates, to inquire about the plan’s proposal to reduce Camino del Mar from four to two lanes and install roundabout traffic circles. Several attendees expressed concern that emer-
gency vehicles wouldn’t be able to circle the roundabouts with ease, and Torma showed a video of two large firetrucks circling the roundabout that’s on Santa Fe Drive in Encinitas. Bobbi Herdes, an environmental specialist with Recon, was on hand to answer questions regarding the
project Environmental Impact Report. City manager Scott Huth answered questions about parking and Mark Delin addressed finance issues. The format of the event was casual and allowed residents to sit at a table with city officials and ask questions in a personal See MEETING, Page 6

BY CLAIRE HARLIN After responding to overwhelming community opposition by scrapping a plan to decrease east Lomas Santa Fe Drive from four lanes to two lanes, the City of Solana Beach is breezing through the approval process of a new traffic calming plan, with the Solana Beach City Council on Oct. 10 unanimously voting to award a construction contract of $285,780 to PAL General Engineering Inc. Previously approved by the council on March 14, the plan consists of two years in the making and includes a number of roadway changes, to be completed in March. On Highland Drive, from Sun Valley to Lomas Santa Fe, the city will construct a curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side and widen
the east side, adding a bike lane south of the entrance to San Dieguito Park. Plans also include restriping to add a two-way left turn median there. Highland Drive from Lomas Santa Fe to Via La Senda will see the raising of medians and the restriping to include bike lanes. Lomas Santa Fe just west of Highland will feature curb ramp pop-outs. Ladder-style crosswalks will also be placed on Highland Drive at the intersections of Sun Valley, Via La Senda and Lomas Santa Fe. Eleven companies came forward in the bidding process, and PAL was the least expensive. Located in UTC, PAL specializes in asphalt maintenance, concrete construction and other service like ADA compliance and excavation.

Polo Club, city hold ‘positive’ first meeting to discuss interim lease
■ Local artist completes Cannonball Endurance Run. Page 8
BY JOE TASH Representatives of the San Diego Polo Club and the city of San Diego held an initial meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16, to discuss an extension of the club’s lease for the city-owned property it occupies at El Camino Real and Via de la Valle. Club officials met with Jim Barwick, director of the city’s real estate assets division, to discuss the lease extension. The club’s 26-year lease expired in March, and
since then it has occupied the property on a month-tomonth basis. “It was a very positive meeting, and what both sides are working towards is an interim lease, a 36-month interim lease and we’re confident we’re going to be able to get that knocked out within the next 60 days,” said Steve Lewandowski, a club spokesman.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN A sister to the popular downtown restaurant Cucina Urbana will take the place of the former Paradise Grill at the Flower Hill Promenade, owners recently announced. Cucina Enoteca will open in May 2013, following the opening of Whole Foods in February. These additions come after the recent openings of Core Power yoga studio and Chipotle, a well-known quick Mexican food option. In January, Burger Lounge will add to food selections at Flower Hill, and Sharp Rees-Stealy, a health care provider that will house about 20 primary care and specialty doctors, will open next fall. After a $30 million expansion, the first completed renovation phase of Flower Hill Promenade will be ready for shopping in early November 2012. The new center offers an additional 70,000 square feet of retail space and includes a four-level parking structure that provides 430 additional parking spaces. “We’re ecstatic about the expansion of Flower Hill and the additional retailers and restaurants that will be joining the community. We’re so pleased that Sharp Rees-Stealy is one of them and that they’ve chosen us to expand in North County.” says Jeffrey Essakow the managing partner of Flower Hill Promenade. “The level of shopping and dining options plus expansion and renovation to the property are going to exceed expectations and bring a buzz to the community.” Flower Hill Promenade is located at 2720 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, 92014.

At approximately 3:45 p.m. on Oct. 12, an unknown man was observed on an access road on the Torrey Pines High School campus. He matched the description of the person who has been loitering near Canyon Crest Academy recently. When he saw school officials, he drove off the campus and headed west on Del Mar Heights. Police were summoned and were looking for him in the area. He is driving a silver Toyota sedan. He has a light complexion, thin build, and his most distinguishing characteristic is a dark, handlebar mustache. SDPD Officer Adrian Lee said the police department is investigating these incidents and has increased its patrols around all of the schools in the community. Local schools are also working with the San Diego Police Department on this issue. If anyone sees this individual they are advised to contact the San Diego Police Department at (858) 523-7000.
Sheriff’s Dept. reports increase in vehicle burglaries Over the past few months, the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station has seen an increase in vehicle burglaries in its cities and throughout the County of San Diego. The San Diego Sheriff’s Department uses informationled policing to identify patterns, trends, known suspects and offenders in order to predict, prevent, investigate, and coordinate a response to these types of crime. However, the best kind of prevention is an informed citizen. Vehicle burglaries are often a crime of opportunity or selective targeting. Commonalities associated with vehicle thefts include unlocked vehicle doors, open windows and valuables left in plain sight. The Encinitas Sheriff’s Station reminds everyone to always lock your car doors, keep your windows rolled up and remove your valuables from your car when left unattended. Some of the most common items sto-
len from vehicles are: GPS devices, laptop computers, iPods, iPads, MP3 players, purses, wallets, cameras, and cell phones. A good rule of thumb to remember: “If it has value, it will be taken during a burglary.” If you see something suspicious please report it to law enforcement. Your tips and leads are valuable and often times lead to the arrest of the suspect.

Meet the Santa Fe Irrigation District board candidates Two candidates are vying for one open seat (Division Two, Solana Beach) on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board in the Nov. 6 election: Holly Smith Jones and Alan Smerican. Below are candidate photos, bios and answers to two questions given to them by this newspaper. Name: Holly Smith Jones Years living in the Irrigation District: 18 Education: Bachelor of Arts, Scripps College, Claremont, Claif. Profession: Retired Business Executive — 37 years experience leading both forprofit and non-profit organizations Community Activities: • Board Member: North Coast Repertory Theatre •Board Member: Classics4Kids •Board Member: CAN Insurance Services •Board/Consumer Member: ONCB (Orthopaedic Nurses Certification Board) •President: GOLD Diggers—nonprofit organization that generates funds for emerging nonprofits serving children, their caregivers, the elderly, and victims of crimes •Founding Member: Hand to Hand—a fund of the Coastal Community Foundation 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Irrigation district? First, we must maintain the quality and security of our water and infrastructure at an affordable cost. Water is essential to our community—something that none of us can live without. That being said, it does not mean that water rates can continue to rise at the levels we have seen over the last five years without a thorough investigation of all the alternatives available to enhance the district. Then, we must assure that Irrigation District is competently and adequately staffed to reasonably meet the needs of the system and its constituency, without adding unnecessary expense. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? At a special meeting of the SFID Board of Directors earlier this month (Oct. 4), an updated Strategic Business Plan was presented. The plan includes six “Focus Strategies—Water Supply, Water Treatment & Delivery, Administrative & Workforce Management, Asset Management, Continuous Improvement, and Financial Management.”
The plan has the right focus areas, but in none is there a specific call to find ways to maintain rates at current levels, let alone reduce them other than the statement to “seek an appropriate balance of all available supply sources to optimize valHolly Smith Jones ue to out customers” Yes, the cost to certain aspects of doing business will increase. Every utility, for-profit and non-profit corporation is facing that same dilemma. But nowhere in the Strategic Plan is there an acknowledgment that rates may be increasing at levels that may not be sustainable for some of our constituency—especially as water usage continues to drop, and larger users look at other alternatives. Nowhere is there an indication that staffing levels be reduced other than through attrition. Nowhere is there an indication that possible cost sharing with other districts should be investigated as a possibility of reducing costs for an expanded community. Nowhere is there an indication that employee benefits should be reviewed in light of current economic realities or what is being offered to other employees throughout our community. As your board representative, I will decline the current health insurance that is provided to board members and paid for by the district. This Strategic Plan has completion dates as far out as 2015. Not to include strategies that can be used to level current and future costs is a significant oversight. I do not want to arbitrarily cut essential Irrigation District costs, but I do want to apply my business experience to assure that every possible alternative is evaluated, making certain that we are operating in the most cost-effective manner without compromising the safety and security of our water supply.

Name: Alan Smerican Years living in the Irrigation District: 25 years Education: Bachelor of Science degree in busiAlan Smerican ness management; Additional courses in engineering and post graduate courses in computer technology Profession: Retired FBI agent and security expert; As a public service, I conducted the Irrigation District’s original security survey and planning. Community activities: •Four years on the City of Solana Beach Public Safety Commission, two terms as chairman •Served on the Board of Directors of the local chapter of ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) •Served on the Board of Directors of four Computer User Groups (president of two of them) Guest speaker on security matters at many non-profit organizations. 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Irrigation district? 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? (Both
questions answered below) 1. RATES: The biggest issue facing the Irrigation District is the rising cost of imported water. Approximately 30-40 percent of the water we need each year is collected from our sparse rainfall and run-off. Therefore 60-70 percent of the water we use must be purchased elsewhere by the district. The imported water is expensive and is the most significant cause of increased water rates. Some believe employee benefits are the cause of higher water rates. It is true that many years ago, pensions and other benefits were greatly increased. However, five years ago, the Irrigation District lowered the pensions for all newly hired employees and just recently negotiated reduced benefits for all employees. These reductions will help, but are insignificant compared to the cost of the imported water. If elected, I will be able to assist the Irrigation District in seeking additional sources of water, at reasonable rates. I will also help monitor the cost of benefits provided to employees to ensure they are appropriate for the district. 2. SECURITY: Another issue is the security of our water supply. I will bring my security expertise to the Board of Directors to facilitate the necessary security to protect our water supply and infrastructure. 3. MAINTENANCE: We need to keep water rates as low as possible without compromising the maintenance of the water mains. We do not want to become another San Diego, whose water mains break regularly because the maintenance has been neglected for years.

Attempts to hold Prop J debate fall through • Opposition cites bad timing, format BY CLAIRE HARLIN Prop J may be the most heated issue Del Mar has seen in recent years, but the community won’t be getting a public debate on the measure. Both the Sandpiper community journal and the Del Mar Times set dates to hold a debate between the proponents and opponents of Prop J, but on both occasions the opposition did not agree to participate, citing scheduling conflicts and concerns about the format of the debate. The first proposed debate was set by the Sandpiper for Oct. 15, but former Del Mar Mayor Dave Druker of the opposing group, Save Olde Del Mar, said the person who would be participating in the debate on the opposition’s behalf was out of town until Oct. 16. “Another problem with the Sandpiper debate was the moderator,” Druker said. “We did not come to agreement about who would moderate, and we needed someone who can frame the questions with an understanding of the unique conditions of Del Mar.” He said the standard format of the League of Women Voters used in debates nationwide, in which a moderator reads questions submitted by the audience, could be problematic because the other side could “stack the audience and generate questions that ensure one side of the debate gets better questions than the other side. Any time you have the ability to frame the questions they can portend the answer.” The Del Mar Times set a date of Oct. 25 at the Del Mar TV station for a debate, and Druker said this date posed a problem in that it was so late. With absentee ballots already out and more than half of Del Mar voters registered permanently as absentees, he said he thought many people would have already voted by the time the debate takes place. “People who care have already made up their mind,” he said. “We don’t have much
time and we’d like to spend our energy knocking on doors and talking to residents.” The Del Mar Times outlined in an email to Druker the format of the event, in which questions would be submitted in advance by readers and the paper’s reporters, in addition to letting audience members submit questions at the event. This format was recently used in a debate held by the Del Mar Times in La Jolla for District 1 City Council Candidates. Druker replied that “questions from the audience are not a good idea, as one group can stack the audience and create an uneven flow of answers.” Howard Gad, a proponent with the group FOR Del Mar’s Future, said he thought a debate would be a good a idea to get the facts out, no matter how late in the game. “Just because you get an absentee ballot doesn’t mean you mail it in right away, especially on an election like this with very important issues,” said Gad. “A smart voter would wait for all the information.” Wayne Dernetz, a former Del Mar city manager and resident of nearly 40 years, said he would have been participating in the debate on the FOR side had the other side agreed to it. He said there were also attempts on behalf of interested residents to organize a debate. He added that there hasn’t been an issue this crucial and controversial since Del Mar has added online video technology and the Del Mar TV station, and a televised debate would have been a good opportunity to reach every person in the city. “Sometimes in Del Mar when issues become controversial, they become fierce, and that’s characteristic of a small town,” he said. “This proposition is keeping with that tradition.” For more information on each side of Prop J, visit www.saveoldedelmar.org or www.fordelmar.com.
Attempted robbery fails at Solana Beach bank BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Law enforcement authorities are seeking a would-be robber who demanded cash at a Chase bank in Solana Beach but walked out when the clerk stalled. The attempted holdup at 607 Lomas Santa Fe Drive was reported about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, a sheriff’s lieutenant said, adding that the clerk was trying to get cash from a secured dispenser behind the counter when the would-be robber walked out. It was unclear if other bank customers were aware of what was going on. The 20-something suspect was white, about 5 feet 8 inches and 200 pounds. Sheriff’s deputies and FBI agents were reviewing video of the man in an attempt to identify him. No weapon or getaway car was seen.
Del Mar Mesa makes progress on financing Maintenance Assessment District
BY SUZANNE EVANS Forming a maintenance assessment district (MAD) for Del Mar Mesa residents to fund the rural community’s beautification and improvements is “still a struggle,” Mesa board member Paul Metcalf said at the Del Mar Mesa community planning board’s Oct. 11 meeting. A yearly “special benefit” fee assessed residents will fund landscaping, trail maintenance, security, lighting, and a long-awaited transformation of a vacant lot into a community park. The fee is for maintenance service above and beyond what the city normally provides, while maintenance to streets, sewers and sidewalks is the city’s responsibility, Metcalf said. Chair Gary Levitt said there is $800,000 in the bank from Facilities Benefit Assessment fees paid as homes are built, $200,000 of which will go toward the park. “The city will be reluctant to move ahead until all the money is in the bank, but we can begin grading, so there is progress,” Levitt. There are essentially two MAD’s — the city’s and Del Mar Mesa’s, which “cannot go forward until we see what the city does,” board member Lisa Ross pointed out. Still to be determined are the exact projects the city will pay for, versus fees homeowners will pay to fund their special project requests. “We are at about (an estimated monthly fee per parcel of) $25 to $50, depending on what levels of service we choose,” Ross said, adding, because See MESA, page 10

MEETING continued from page 1 way, with no formal presentation. Another event with the same structure will be held on Oct. 29, also at the city hall annex at 6 p.m. Kathy Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director, said many questions revolved around parking, as well as development. For example, some asked about what kind of review would be in place for new projects, and she said that the Design Review Board, a citizen panel known for its often stringent assessments, would still be in effect. Whether or not Measure B, also known as the downtown overlay zone, would be in effect also came up, and Garcia said that it would. Measure B, approved by voters in 1986, requires specific plans for downtown properties larger than 25,000 square feet or proposing more than 11,500 square feet to be approved by voters, but no further Measure B vote would be required for developments that are “designed, reviewed and implemented in accordance with the specific plan,” city documents state. Attendees were greeted at the door of the event by several Prop J opponents who were distributing information. Among them, 26-year resident Nitza Cady said she was concerned that the height increase element of the plan would strip Del Mar of its village feel. She
said she came out with other opponents to the event because there needed to be more input from residents. “All the people here giving information are employees of the city and they are all pro-J,” she said. “This is for the people who live here, not the people who are getting paid by the city.” For uncontested councilman-elect Al Corti, the meeting was about the 60th of nearly 90 meetings about the Village Specific Plan that he’s attended, and his motivation is to fully understand what people want out of the process and how to move forward whether or not Prop J passes. “There are so many moving parts that you can’t please everybody,” he said. For example, some people voiced concern at the meeting that two lanes with roundabouts won’t move traffic through efficiently, however, some wanted to reinstate the part of the plan that included a roundabout at 15th Street, which was taken out in response to community concern. Corti said from what he’s seen, the No. 1 hot button issue is traffic. “It just can’t be 100 percent for everyone, but what we’ve got in downtown Del Mar doesn’t work,” he said. “There hasn’t been change between 9th and 14th streets in 30 years.” For more information, the executive summary of the Village Specific Plan is available online at http:// www.delmar.ca.us/Government/Pages/VillageRevitalization.aspx.

ROADWAY continued from page The city is under its allocated $400,000 for traffic improvements via stimulus dollars that are specifically designed for such roadway maintenance. The previous plan that met contention was estimated to cost more than $400,000. Solana Beach City Council member Mike Nichols said he is pleased with the project but would like to see a particular alternative implemented: a retaining wall west of the Highland Drive to support the slope there. “We listened and we have a project here that I think will truly calm traffic,” Nichols said, adding that the community will finally get the sidewalk it’s been asking for.
ate exclusively with the polo club on a new lease, it would open up the bidding to other groups. However, the issuance of a request for proposals from prospective bidders was delayed due to a pending project to widen El Camino Real. The road project will take three to five years to complete, and will likely require the use of a slice of frontage property from the parcel now occupied by the polo club. Because of the property issue, and disruptions likely to occur during
SCHOOL continued from page 1 The board liked the names that had Solana in it, as it helps people identify the school as a Solana Beach district school. Solana Canyon Ranch sounded very spa-like to the board, which appealed to board member Debra Schade but not to member Richard Leib. The board also liked how it matches the other district Solanas, which tend to go by just their second name: Highlands, Pacific, Santa Fe and Vista. Canyon Creek and Skyline remain the two-non Solanas and principals Terri Davis and Lisa Denham said they like being “originals.” The groundbreaking ceremony for Solana Ranch Elementary will be held Nov. 15, at 3:30 p.m. at 13605 Pacific Highlands Ranch Parkway, San Diego, 92130.
construction, the city put delayed efforts to find a long-term tenant for the property. Although club officials have said they would prefer a long-term deal, they said an interim lease will allow them to maintain operations. “It wasn’t helping either side to continue with this uncertainty. The polo club has some deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed and some groups that want to sublease the property, and we couldn’t get back to them because we weren’t sure if we were going to be there
next year or not,” Lewandowski said. The club has occupied the 80-acre property since 1986. Along with polo matches and training, the club also leases out the property for such events as the Surf Cup youth soccer tournament and lacrosse tournaments. Under the old lease, the club paid just under $10,000 per month in rent. Neither side has commented on whether the rent is likely to change under an interim lease. A date has not been set for the next meeting, Lewandowski said.
Solana Beach land use plan out for public review BY CLAIRE HARLIN The City of Solana Beach on Oct. 11 released its revised version of the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP), and until Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. the public has a chance to read it and put their comments and concerns in writing. The city has been working for years to draft the plan, which will serve as a blueprint for future development in Solana Beach, in a manner that will please the community as well as the California Coastal Commission. A number of issues are at stake in the extensive document, however, seawall permits and blufftop construction regulations have been the subject of very emotional debate. Last month residents packed City Council Chambers, with property owners concerned that the state commission’s wants will result in the devaluation of their properties and environmentalists concerned that seawalls and construction on the bluffs are harming the beaches. The council voted to continue working with the commission, and once comments are submitted during this six-week review period, it will decide on a version of the document to send to the state for possible approval. The city’s revisions and the entire LUP document are available on the city’s website at www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us (click on “announcements on the left column) or in person at 635 S. Highway 101. Hard copies can also be purchased.

Political scientist discusses race for the White House BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Who will be the president of the United States? For many pundits and analysts, this election is one of the most pivotal and offers the starkest contrast between candidates in recent American history. Will voters validate the efforts of President Barack Obama and entrust him with another term? Or will the people pick former Governor Mitt Romney to lead the nation to the greener pastures? In support of his new book, “The Professor Samuel Candidate: What It Takes to Win — Popkin and Hold — the White House,” UC San Diego Professor Samuel Popkin spoke about the campaign to a group of 100 people, who gathered at the Jewish Community Center on Oct. 4 — the night after the first presidential debate. To listen to Popkin describe it, this presidential election is just another rerun of a drama aired every four years that is rife with the same old tactics and strategies, blunders and windfalls, thrills and spills. “There are very few different presidential campaigns,” Popkin said. “They repeat themselves over and over like variations on a theme in music.” The noted political scientist has played a role in the development of important theories; authored a number of books on politics and the presidency; worked on the political campaigns of Presidents Carter and Clinton, as well as Al Gore; advised political parties in Canada and Europe; and specializes in polling. Popkin’s presentation was billed as the kickoff to the upcoming 18th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair to be held around two weekends (Nov. 3-5 and Nov. 8-11) next month. Popkin’s central thesis is that regardless of the issues, a candidate’s status as challenger, incumbent or successor dictates the message of any presidential campaign. In that regard, Popkin argued that as a challenger, Romney offers the same fare that succeeded four years earlier for his rival: hope and change. “No matter what they look like, no matter what party they’re from, they’re talking about the importance of change and that you can hope for better things,” he said. “When you’re the challenger you’re saying ... run away with me and look what I’ll give you. You’ll be happy. There will never be dishes in the sink. There will never be underwear on the floor. The board will always be wherever you want it. Run away with me and start all over.” Popkin argued that while a challenger is free to propose love, so to speak, the incumbent is encumbered by the familiarity of the marriage. But with the powers, privileges and platform provided by the office of president, the incumbent is rarely the underdog. “The president has to say, I’m safe because you’ll know
what I do,” Popkin said. “He’s (the challenger) a risk because you don’t know if he’s really for you or not. “When Mike Tyson was the most powerful, successful boxer in the world, everybody who was going to fight him would say, ‘Well, I got a strategy. I think I can be the one to take Tyson.’ And whenever they asked Tyson, ‘So-and-so says he’s got a strategy and he can take you, what do you think?’ Tyson’s answer was ‘Everybody has a strategy until I punch them in the face.’ ” Popkin spoke for about an hour, addressing the obstacles and opportunities faced by all presidential candidates as well as the points specific to Obama and Romney. He noted the trait that both men possess, is rare among the people they seek to represent. “Nobody runs for president who does not have extraordinary audacity,” Popkin said. “If you want to be president, you have to get up there and say ‘I am the best person alive to lead this country and to be the most powerful person in the world.’ “And you have to act like you mean it. And you have to act like you really are ready. And then you have to get off the platform and ask an aide, tell me quick, what city are we in?’ If you didn’t have that ego, you couldn’t do it even if God appointed you.” Popkin Quotes: On why he wrote the book: “The motivation for this book was to get the bad taste of the Gore campaign out of my mouth. I started it to try and figure out how could such a terrible campaign happen to such a good person? How could Al Gore so many times snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?” On the limitations of money in a campaign: “Just to remind you, in 2007, the person who set the new fundraising record of any challenger in decades was Rudolph Giuliani. All that money. New fundraising record. Zero delegates.”

Jacobs’ love of Harleys encompasses both the bikes he enjoys riding and those he paints — in 1993, he was named as the official artist for Harley Davidson, and his images are found on everything from original paintings to a variety of products, such as plates, coins, cards and clothing. Jacobs, 53, is a native of New Jersey. He and his family moved to Rancho Santa Fe 16 years ago, and he works in a home studio. Jacobs and his daughter, Alexa, were featured earlier this year on the ABC television series “Secret Millionaire.” According to a biography on his website, Jacobs’ art career began at age 19 when he bought a failing art gallery with money he had saved from odd jobs. He also made pen-and-ink drawings for his high school newspaper. Later, he began painting portraits of celebrities, but he said his career really took off when he started painting cars and motorcycles. “I really started getting noticed,” he said, and his ad-
mirers included officials at Harley Davidson, who later signed him as their official artist. Today, Jacobs paints everything from cars and motorcycles to still life images of wine, chocolates and flowers. His original paintings are sold through invitation-only auctions, and fetch prices ranging from $28,000 for smaller works, up to $130,000 for larger ones, more than he paid for his first house. “It’s overwhelming to me. I never thought it would get to that level, especially as a living artist,” Jacobs said. Along with original paintings, prints of his work sell in stores around the world. Mostly, he paints in acrylics, but he also works in pen and ink, oil and watercolors. When he’s not painting in his studio, he’s traveling to auctions and private events to promote and sell his work. He is planning a VIP event to be held at his home where the night’s entertainment will be a performance by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. A recent event, also held at his home, featured the Doobie Brothers. The special events are held as a thank-you to clients, who are flown in and provided accommodation at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Jacobs said.

BY JOE TASH World-renowned artist Scott Jacobs made his name by painting pictures of exotic sports cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles. For fun, he takes those same vehicles on the road. Housed in the garage of his local home are a 1962 Shelby Cobra, which was originally designed as a race car, and a Maserati, which he loves to take for a spin. And in September, he drove his vintage 1926 Harley Davidson J motorcycle across country in the Cannonball Endurance Run, a race for bikes built before 1930. The race began Sept. 7 in Newburgh, New York, and concluded 17 days later in San Francisco. The riders averaged 300 miles per day, and took only one day off during the run. Because the motorcycles were meticulously restored classics, the average speed was between 45 and 50 mph, said Jacobs. “It was a rolling museum going down the highway,” he said. “The highlight was the camaraderie between everybody. It was an amazing experience.” Jacobs finished 29th of 71 riders, but has no regrets and said he would definitely do it again, in spite of the cuts, burns, scrapes and bruises suffered along the way, and the extreme weather conditions, which included intense heat, bone-chilling cold, wind and rain. The race followed small rural roads, avoiding the large interstates, and Jacobs said he was inspired by the large crowds that turned out along the way to cheer the riders on. His wife, Sharon, rode with him on her own motorcycle, and even his two daughters — Olivia and Alexa — rode their own Harleys for about half the route. Each day, the riders were given a route map, which they rolled up and displayed in a glass-covered case mounted on their handlebars. They scrolled the map down, which listed the twists and turns of the route by mileage markers. Riders had to keep close track of the mileage to stay on course, which Jacobs said was even more difficult because the odometer on his classic bike wasn’t perfectly accurate. One of the things that slowed Jacobs down was mechanical problems; his bike broke down 15 times along the

Premier San Diego coastal site announces donor naming opportunity For more than 20 years, those who have traveled Coast Highway 101 between Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Solana Beach have witnessed story poles for commercial development along the coastal lands. Today, there’s a bigger story developing, and it’s called: “What name goes here?” San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy has announced its search for title naming rights on the Gateway property, a 3.44-acre coastal parcel at the southern end of San Elijo Lagoon. The Conservancy is seeking an individual(s) interested in leaving a legacy, either in corporate or family foundation support. This is one of North County’s last coastal open space areas remaining. This naming opportunity is available for a $1 million investment. The A new sign is installed at Gateway Park—the new park will be named in perpetuity coastal open space between Cardiff-by-the-Sea to honor the commitment of that title and Solana Beach along Scenic Highway 101. sponsor to secure these pristine views For 20 years, commercial development and the necessary habitat for wildlife threatened these pristine coastal views, wildlife in San Elijo Lagoon. buffer, and habitat for native plants and “Approximately 20,000 vehicles animals adjacent to San Elijo Lagoon. will pass the naming rights sign along Coast Highway 101 each day. We hope that members of our community may pause long enough to consider what a wonderful legacy this could be,” said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist of San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy. “We’re excited to link someone’s passion for nature, and our future generations, with the opportunity to name this highly visible property in their honor.” Donors who give a minimum of $2,500 will be recognized in onsite signage on the Gateway property once the Conservancy secures it. Already, many donors have given $2,500 and higher amounts to honor and hold in memory their loved ones. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. This year is the Conservancy’s 25th Anniversary.

LEIB continued from page 4 over eight years •Appointed by the Governor to the Governing Board of the California Community Colleges, overseeing the 109 Community Colleges in the state (19992005) •Elected President of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges (2001-2003). 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the School District? #1: Maintaining our excellent schools despite massive state budget cuts and retaining Basic Aid. Every school district in the state has been hit with massive budget cuts that have dramatically reduced the amount of money our district receives from the state. Our school board has done a great job in making the necessary cuts without having to sacrifice the quality of education that our children receive. I am proud to say that our average class size remains one of the lowest in the state and our test scores continue to rise. However, over the next few years we will be faced with even more difficult budget decisions, especially if Proposition 30 on the November ballot does not pass. In addition, we are one of the few districts that primarily receive money based on the Basic Aid formula,
which ties our revenue to property taxes. The key issue facing our district is to make sure the state does not eliminate Basic Aid because this could cut our revenue overnight by as much as 50 percent. Retaining Basic Aid is without a doubt the most important issue facing our district. #2: Making sure decisions are based on what is best for the kids and not based on politics. I am proud to serve with four unbelievably dedicated board members – Jeff Busby, Debra Schade, Art Palkowitz and Vicky King. Our board may not all have the same political views, but we always make decisions on what is best for our 3,000 students. Other nearby districts have received a lot of publicity in the newspapers by infighting and issuing press releases touting their achievements. We simply don’t do that because the decisions regarding our schools are not partisan issues and are made based solely on what is best for our kids. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? Retaining the Basic Aid formula for our district is key to our future success. To ensure Basic Aid is retained, we need to continue our participation in a statewide coalition of local districts that lobby our Sacramento
legislators and educate them on this issue. I have spent time with our local legislators and they have agreed to retain this formula because they know it benefits our school district. In addition, we have to continue to have a cohesive board that seeks ways to reduce our expenditures without cutting the quality of the education we offer to our students. This means keeping our administrative costs low so that we can instead continue to have low class size. Having smaller classes not only benefits students, but it also puts less stress on our teachers, ensuring that the best ones stay in our district. I believe this is also the best way to attract the highest quality teachers in the region. The other way to make sure we spend money wisely is to have a strong, smart district staff. As many of you know our superb superintendent, Leslie Fausett, retired earlier this year. She and her small staff always exercised fiscal responsibility and I am proud that our board recently appointed an excellent successor, Dr. Nancy Lynch, who instills these same fiscally prudent principals. Finally, we can all help our schools this November by voting in favor of Proposition 30 on this year’s ballot because if it fails it will result in drastic cuts to our schools.
MESA continued from page 5 the fee is self-assessed, it is not a tax. Metcalf said Latitude 33 land planning and engineering will no longer handle the engineer’s report detailing MAD projects and their potential assessment fees for parcel owners, and another engineering entity that specializes in MAD reports will handle it. Highlighting benefits for parkways and trails, the engineer’s report will identify maintenance improvements, level of service, and assign reasonable costs. The Del Mar Mesa Specific Plan places regulations on lot sizes, lighting, fencing and street design, in keeping with the mesa’s rural community. Council District 1 Sherri Lightner’s representative, Mel Millstein, said Lightner is considering how to put Del Mar Mesa’s park on line as a part of Proposition C, proposed to fund open space parks. “The city will want to collect more money before they go out to bid — so they have the money on hand to award the contract,� Levitt said. Projects such as trail maintenance, grooming strips of land in the right of way immediately behind curbs along some streets, and the transformation of a patch of weeds adjacent to Duck Pond into a neighborhood park “will increase the value of our homes.�
Solana Beach tweaks commuter incentive program to exclude hybrids BY CLAIRE HARLIN To keep up with the continuing advancement of green technology, especially in automobiles, the Solana Beach City Council on Oct. 10 revised its employee commuter program to exclude incentives for hybrids and partial or low emission vehicles. Since the program was implemented in 2008, zeroemission and plug-in vehicles have emerged, which city officials feel are in line with their goals of improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil fuel burning vehicles. The Nissan Leaf led the way with the zero-emission electric auto technology, and Audi, Volkswagen, Scion and Cadillac have also come out with models. The incentive program gives preferred parking to those who carpool or rideshare, as well as a guaranteed ride home program through the RideLink program created by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Employees qualifying for the program also get an extra $80 per month and staggered work hour to allow for public transportation or carpool schedules. The program aims to lower peak hour congestion on the roads in addition to its energy and emission goals. To qualify for the program, employees must use alternative transportation at least three times a week on average. An exception of six days per month is given to fire officials due to their variable schedule. Participants must complete a “daily commuter sheet� and employees receiving a car allowance may participate as a carpool driver, however, they don’t get double compensation. The following forms of transportation are accepted: carpool, public transit, bicycle, walking or any combination.

Shaolin Kempo Arts brings antibully message to Ashley Falls (Above) On Friday, Sept. 28, Shaolin Kempo Arts hosted a student body assembly at Ashley Falls School on the ABC’s of anti-bullying titled “Stop Bullying. Stand up. Speak out.” Shaolin Kempo owner Joey Larocque and five of his students performed scenario-based skits to demonstrate how to walk away from a bully, how to ask for help and how to stand up for yourself with confidence using problem-solving techniques. The students who participated were Riya and Rohan Madan, Aaron Glick, and Cody and Cameron Black. The five students are members of Shaolin Kempo’s Guidance on Leadership Development Program (G.O.L.D.), which promotes confidence and personal development of leadership within the community. At Shaolin Kempo, owned by Ashley Falls parents Joey and Lori Larocque, they stress an anti-bully message both on how not to be a bully and how children can protect themselves from one. Their ABC system is “A” for “Action,” encouraging students to use their voice, be a leader and peace builder and to show respect to their classmates. “B” is for “Back up,” it’s OK to ask for help or back up from a parent, teacher or coach. Lastly, “C” stands for “Confident,” encouraging students to stand up for themselves and not let a bully’s words or actions destroy their confidence.

SUMMERS continued from page 4 represent all parts of our increasingly diverse community. Education finances are in the news daily. The current board has managed prudently, financed quality programs, and built a large reserve. That, however, is not enough in the current political climate. The district’s financial status as a “basic aid district” (receiving substantially more perpupil funding than most San Diego County schools) can no longer be preserved by flying under the radar. The problem requires more than a large reserve. That reserve will either trickle away with time, or be seized for another purpose. It’s time to look for long-term funding solutions by putting the political clout of our whole community behind the search for larger solutions to California’s educational funding debacle.
We have a lot to offer. 2. Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? The board needs to reach out to the community by scheduling regular activities designed to provide twoway communication between the various parts of the community and the board. These might include informal coffees at the various school sites, meetings with groups of teachers and other support staff, volunteering in classrooms, house parties hosted within various ethnic communities, (with translators if necessary), and perhaps evening meetings with childcare provided. If I am elected, you will see me out there in the community, either alone or with other board members. The board also needs to take a leadership role in involving the community in seeking long-range solutions to school funding shortfalls at both the local and the
state level. This means educating themselves and the community, at a deeper level, about the realities of state education funding, including the status and politics of Basic Aid district funding. I was asked to run by the Solana Beach Teachers Association, partly because of my experience in doing this with the teachers of Solana Beach and surrounding districts. The education funding crisis in California has already begun to affect our district. Our financial reserves, while keeping us functioning at a high level now, are not a long-term solution. Both our concern for our own children, and our knowledge that the children of other, less wealthy districts are as precious and full of promise as our own, demand nothing less than our full participation as citizens. If there is one thing I have learned in 26 years of teaching the children of Solana Beach, it is that the kids are worth the effort!

UNION continued from page 4 keeping reserves, these reserves are limited. The SBSD is a Basic Aid District which is dependent on property values that are very slowly recovering. The state government is pinning its hopes on the November passage of Proposition 30. The SBSD wants to hope for the best but will need to prepare for the worst. My goals will be to keep our fiscal house in order with a focus on the future. Technology Implementation: The traditional ways students learn and teachers educate are changing...rapidly. In the future, paper tests with fill in bubbles and bound textbooks will be replaced by specialized tests on school computers and online books. The implementation of technology in our classrooms is imperative in our 21st century learning environment. During the September 2012 school board meeting, Dr. Nancy Lynch reported that the SBSD has 2,980 students and 1,230 iPads. My goals
will be to maximize technology in a fiscally responsible manner, and to also work closely with parents to bridge the home-school technology learning curve. Facilities Master Planning: The SBSD has the oldest school and the newest school in our general area. Part of the district office and Child Development Center (CDC) preschool in Solana Beach was originally built in the 1930s. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a new school will be opening in the fall of 2014 in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community. In between the oldest and newest, the SBSD has six schools built between the 1970s and 1990s. Infrastructure, layout design, maintenance, and construction priorities will be issues to be decided upon as the long-range vision and master plan is developed. My goals will be to integrate the needs of the entire district and represent the whole. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed
by the board? While sound financial planning is a critical issue, it is only one of the many important issues to be addressed by the SBSD board. By keeping the focus on “what is best for the kids” in all decisions made, the board will achieve the goal of providing the best educational opportunities for all Solana Beach School District students. If elected, I would look forward to joining the school board in their following of the California School Board Association (CSBA) responsibilities: supporting the superintendent and support staff, developing longterm vision and facilities master plans, overseeing curriculum and budget priorities, and ensuring accountability to the public. I believe my experience as a school and community leader coupled with my business background uniquely qualifies me for this position.

Preventing sudden cardiac arrest in adolescents BY DR. JOHN ROGERS, SCRIPPS HEALTH Three years ago, San Diego County residents Rhina and Hector Paredes experienced one of the greatest tragedies imaginable to parents—the loss of their son, Eric, at age 15. Since then, they have transformed their loss into an opportunity to help other parents ensure that the same thing never happens in their own families. Rhina Paredes, a registered nurse at Scripps Green Hospital, had no idea her athletic son had an undetected heart condition until he unexpectedly passed away from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in July 2009. SCA occurs when the heart’s electrical system, which normally keeps heart rate and rhythm running
smoothly, malfunctions. As a result, the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, and blood can no longer reach the brain and other vital organs. Death occurs within minutes unless the patient is resuscitated with a device called an automated external defibrillator (AED), which sends an electric shock to the heart in an effort to “jump-start” it. SCA is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Most people who are at increased risk for SCA have related conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart attack or a family history of SCA. Other risk factors may include unexplained fainting or lightheadedness, chest pain, shortness of breath or heart palpitations. However, people in seemingly excellent
health, including professional athletes, have died from SCA as well. SCA risk can be assessed through simple tests such as an electrocardiogram (EKG), which measures the heart’s electrical activity, and an echocardiogram, which is essentially an ultrasound of the heart. However, SCA screenings are usually reserved for people who are at high risk for the condition. For parents like the Paredes, who have no reason to suspect their child may be at risk, such screening tests are not easily accessible. Unless a child or teen shows signs and symptoms of a heart problem, insurance companies typically don’t cover screening tests for them. Yet more than 7,000 kids die every year from sudden cardiac arrest.
That’s why the Paredes family established the Eric Paredes Save a Life Foundation. With the goal of preventing SCA in school-age children and adolescents, one of the foundation’s priorities is making an EKG part of any comprehensive sports physical. In addition to providing free cardiac screenings to San Diego student athletes, the foundation also aims to make AEDs available in middle and high schools. With the aid of volunteer partners and sponsors including Scripps Health, San Diego Project Heartbeat and Cardiac Science, the Eric Paredes Save a Life Foundation hosted its inaugural screening event at Eric’s school, Steel Canyon High School, in 2010. Nearly 500 student athletes were given
EKGs, and those with abnormal results had an echocardiogram on-site. Thanks to the screening, five students were discovered to be at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Subsequent screening events have been held at multiple high schools throughout San Diego County. Since its first screening in 2010, more than 4,600 high school students have been screened, and 113 students were identified with heart anomalies – 48 who were at risk of sudden cardiac arrest and three who required heart procedures. When someone is determined to be at risk for SCA, he or she may be able to prevent it through medication or treatment with an implantable cardioverter de-
fibrillator, or ICD. A small battery-operated medical device, the ICD is implanted into the body and programmed to identify potentially dangerous problems with the heart’s electrical system and correct them with a shock.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Our endorsements for local seats An editorial panel comprised of the publisher and editors from seven of this newspaper group’s eight Southern California publications recently met to vote on endorsements for the following races: San Diego City Council District One; 50th Congressional District; San Diego Mayor; San Diego County Board of Supervisors District Three. Below are the endorsements. (Note: These will be the only races this panel will endorse.) • In the contest for City Council District 1 representative — our first-responder for Carmel Valley, Torrey Pines, Del Mar Mesa, la Jolla and community-wide issues — we’re choosing Ray Ellis over incumbent Sherri Lightner. Though Lightner promised to take our neighborhoods to city hall — and has done so — she left our neighborhood issues on the steps of city hall. Though Lightner is a hard-worker who is beloved and supported by many and has the best intentions for her community, she hasn’t built the coalitions in city hall that are needed to get things done. Ellis, on the other hand, has built partnerships and coalitions through his business dealings and public service. His negotiation skills and business acumen will lead to the type of representation we need on the city council at this pivotal time in San Diego history. In debate after debate, Ellis points to his work on the Balboa Park Conservancy, the San Diego City Employees’ Retirement System board, and his involvement with the passage of Prop B, the initiative to switch city new hires to 401(k)-style plans, as examples of how he has already helped the city. Both candidates did incredible jobs during the debate hosted by this newspaper group on Sept. 19, but in the end, after watching their performance in repeated debates, Ellis had many plans and ideas that resonanted with us, while Lightner’s vision and plea for another four years came up short. • For U.S. Representative in District 52, we support Scott Peters over incumbent Brian Bilbray. Though Bilbray has served in the House for 12 years, his career lacks luster. Bilbray is Chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. With these groups gridlocked over tempestuous issues, a consensus builder willing to “cross the aisle” with new ideas and no party agenda is needed. Scott Peters promises to be that kind of representative and we believe him. We’ve watched Peters learn tough economic lessons on the city council and now as chair of the San Diego Port District’s Board of Commissioners. In an interview with this newspaper group, Peters said, “I will take San Diego with me to Washington in my heart and that’s what I really think I’m working for. I’m going to make sure that I’ll always be working for San Diego while I’m there. While I’m talking to everybody, I’ll remember why I came.” We will hold Peters to his words and remain watchful. •San Diego voters have a clear choice for mayor: One candidate represents the city’s best chance for the city’s future, the other an opportunity to take several steps into the past. Carl DeMaio is, without a doubt, the best qualified to lead San Diego. We enthusiastically endorse him for office. He has effectively represented District 5 on the City Council since 2008. He is a self-proclaimed watchdog intent on eliminating waste and fraud in the city and in reforming its pension fund. His guidelines for a better San Diego are included in his “Roadmap to Recovery,” a step-by-step plan for balancing the budget, reforming the pension system, fixing crumbling infrastructure and restoring ethics and accountability to every level of city government. He boils down his vision to three key words: “pensions, potholes and prosperity.” Along the way DeMaio has picked up both supporters and critics. Many of the latter are connected to San Diego’s organized labor movement, who fear their members who work for the city will be hurt by pension plan reforms. These labor interests support DeMaio’s opponent in the contest for mayor. The San Diego City Council, under the able leadership of Mayor Jerry Sanders, has made great strides toward restoring stability and trust in our municipal government. Sanders has endorsed DeMaio as the best candidate to continue moving forward. We wholeheartedly agree. • The 3rd Supervisorial District includes Carmel Valley, Solana Beach and Del Mar, and stretches inland to encompass Rancho Bernardo and Escondido. For the first time in 16 years there is an open seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the good

Prop AA — Time to invest in our community Forty years ago, San Dieguito High School district asked its voters to approve a bond. They did....and Torrey Pines High school was built. TPHS is now ranked among the best in the nation. Since then, SDUHSD has built four other schools — Diegueno Middle School, La Costa Canyon High School, Carmel Valley Middle School and Canyon Crest Academy — without asking voters for another bond. Until now. State funding for schools has dropped to a new low and the San Dieguito High School District is struggling — along with every other district in the state — to maintain student programs and the necessary maintenance of existing facilities. A few weeks ago, the water main to TPHS failed, leaving almost 3,000 students and staff without water. Within hours, our staff had portable toilets, hand washing stations and bottled water on site, and no instructional time was lost. The reason for the line failure? The bolts holding the lengths of pipe together had crumbled from 40 years of corrosion. Our schools have aged, some less gracefully than others. With student, staff, parent and community input, a list of district facility needs has been created — $449 million worth of projects to benefit the students on every campus, plus a new middle school to relieve Carmel Valley Middle School’s serious over-crowding. A complete list is available on www.friendsofsandieguitoschools.com. This is not a “wish” list — it is a “needs” list. A school board cannot impose taxes … But it can, and should, present the needs and facts to the voters for them to decide whether or not to invest in our schools, students, and community. The San Diego County Taxpayers Association has studied our proposal and supports Prop AA, commenting that the projects have been thoroughly vetted. Their detailed ballot recommendation of Prop AA is at www.sdcta.org. Our schools consistently rank the highest academically in the county, state and country. In order to continue to provide the best opportunities for our students, we need facilities that will meet our students’ needs for the next 40 years. We cannot afford to wait. After 40 years, it’s time to once again invest in our own community and our students. It is up to us to do what needs to be done. If you value educational excellence and the wisdom of planning for our future, you will understand the need to support Prop AA. Barbara Groth Trustee (and alumnus) San Dieguito Union High School District
How the DMUSD bond would differ from the Poway bonds As I talk with members of our community about Proposition CC, the bond measure for the Del Mar Union School District, I hear one concern raised repeatedly: how do we know that Prop CC will not be the same taxpayer travesty that the Poway school bonds have become? There are several reasons why the DMUSD bond differs from Poway, and these reasons can go a long way towards reassuring our community. Poway’s primary objective with their bonds was to build and renovate facilities at their older school sites. Some of the campuses, like Poway High School, received dramatic renovations. This means they had to take out large construction contracts at the outset of building. They needed very large sums of money in a short time frame to accomplish this. In four of five bond draws they made between 2003 and 2011, the draw amount exceeded $73 million. DMUSD’s bond is not intended to finance the building of schools. It is primarily intended to enhance the implementation of the strategic plan and to offset declines in school funding by paying for things like modernization of schools, and maintenance and site upgrade projects. There are no large-scale, up-front construction contracts to sign. Rather than taking out the entire $76.8 million in a lump sum, the district plans to make smaller draws of approximately $15 million every few years. The impact of this major difference between the two bonds is that the DMUSD has much more flexibility to look at other bond vehicles besides the much-discussed capital appreciation bond (CAB) that has Poway in hot water. The CAB typically defers payment against the bond principal to some future date, during which time large sums of interest are accrued. The DMUSD will most likely use current interest bonds (CIBs) that would enable them to make payments against the principal immediately. Interest rates for CIBs are far more favorable than for CABs because the bond buyer is assuming less risk. It also means that taxpayers will not get stuck with highly unfavorable terms as we have seen in Poway. There is a silver lining to the debacle in Poway. We have all learned a lot from it. Community members I have spoken with are aware of what happened there, and are rightly concerned about fiscal responsibility with respect to these bond measures. Dan McAllister, our County tax assessor, has responded to the Poway situation by issuing guidelines that would protect taxpayers against bad CAB deals. The DMUSD takes its responsibility to the public seriously, and in a board meeting earlier this month the trustees adopted a resolution that embraces McAllister’s recommendations. This, along with an independent oversight committee that will review bond draws, will help to ensure our district makes choices that will protect taxpayers from fiscal fiasco.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion: MORE PAGES 20-21
This November vote No to permitting pot shops BY CARL HILLIARD, DEL MAR MAYOR, AND JOE KELLEJIAN, SOLANA BEACH MAYOR In case you think compassionate people are behind the initiative to permit pot shops in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Lemon Grove and Imperial Beach, let us set the record straight. This November you’ll be voting on a measure that in Del Mar (Proposition H) and Solana Beach (Proposition W) was financed and facilitated by a group of current and prospective marijuana shop owners. In areas where these shops have proliferated, compassion was not the underlying motive. According to Scott Chipman from San Diegans for Safe Neighborhoods, “We have learned from law enforcement, businesses and community members that the pot shops are a front for profiteering and drug abuse. They also create problems for surrounding businesses, like loitering, nuisance behavior, even crimes of opportunity since pot shops are a cash business with an easy-to-sell product.” Because of the seriousness of this proposed measure, Del Mar prepared a 40-page impact report of violations and repercussions. Here are just some of the findings: •The measure violates state and federal drug laws. •It also violates California sales tax laws. •The measure allows convicted felons to operate pot shops. •The measure has no requirements for recordkeeping, audits, landlord protection or parking provisions. •If the measure passes, city employees will be in violation of federal law and could face federal prosecution. •Pot shop permits cannot be revoked or expire, according to the proposed measure. •Because it violates federal drug laws, the measure would jeopardize city federal grant funds. •The measure allows six shops to open in Del Mar and twice that number in Solana Beach. The measure is clearly illegal, says Del Mar City Attorney Bob Mahlowitz. As written, these pot shop ballot initiatives “contain misrepresentations and illegal and improper uses, meaning it may be beyond the power of a city to enact.” He adds that it doesn’t matter if the measure passes because residents vote it in. “It can’t be done,” Mahlowitz says. “It’s illegal.” Which is why federal law enforcement officials are shuttering pot shops across the state, including San Diego, as well as those cities that attempted to craft permitting ordinances. In essence, this ballot measure is a waste of money and time. So how did the measure make it to the ballot in the first place? State election code states that if 10 percent of a city’s registered voters sign a petition regarding an ordinance, it must go to a public vote, even if it is found to contain illegalities. A loophole of sorts in our state election code got the measure on the ballot. In November, we need to vote it off. For legal reasons and for the best interests of our neighborhoods, vote no to permitting pot shops.
Where is my plastic bag? BY LANE SHARMAN Really, where does government obtain its power to regulate single use plastic bags? Did the City of Solana Beach go too far? Should Driver, Frankel and Powell be elected to run Solana Beach? What would they have done? Had Driver, Frankel or Powell shown up at the candidate forum on Oct. 8, the public would know what they would have done differently (or not). They were no-shows. How would they work with Heebner, Zahn and Zito who did show up and spoke out on the ban as well as scores of other issues of concern to local residents? No issue was off the table as it was a forum of the people and by the people conducted by the League of Women Voters. It is clear from the debate that Heebner, Zahn and Zito stand for a variety of individual as well as social rights, including the right to have a safe home on the bluffs of Solana Beach. In a transparent manner, Heebner, Zahn and Zito spoke about their records and vision. Driver, Frankel or Powell? Who really knows? Governments regulate for fairness, transparency, education, transportation, public safety, welfare, property rights, and a clean and healthy environment, which includes the atmosphere, the ocean, rivers and water. In a perfect world, there would be no need for government. Alas, we are not there and so we must ask, who is the best person to steer the government of Solana Beach? Though I dislike an inconvenience like the ban on single-use plastic bags, I think a lot about my grandchildren and their grandchildren in a place like Solana Beach (or the Maldives). And, here is the inconvenient truth: we all need to make some adjustments with regard to our personal emissions and waste if we want to hand off a livable world to our descendants. If you don’t live in Solana Beach, come here and shop and support the county’s sole city with a ban on single-use plastic bags. Where did Solana Beach government obtain its power for the ban? City council listened closely for years to the residents of Solana Beach advocating for a better quality of life today and tomorrow. Visit Solana Beach … Don’t be a no-show here or at the ballot box.

Vote Yes on Prop J to save Del Mar Pacifica Del Mar has been a part of the Del Mar community for over 23 years. When I first heard of Proposition J I was skeptical. Roundabouts, height limits, construction, etc. all seemed to be problematic. As I listened to both sides, and became more educated on the subject, it struck me if not now, when? Del Mar has remained as is since L’Auberge and the Plaza were built a quarter of a century ago. Nothing really has happened in between. Proposition J is a chance to move into the 21st century. The City of Solana Beach, the Del Mar Highlands, Flowerhill and One Paseo are moving ahead. If the Del Mar retail community is to survive in the years to come we need to act now. There will never be a perfect plan that satisfies everyone in Del Mar. Those of you who have been here for any length of time, many much longer than me, know that a perfect plan isn¹t going to happen. The opponents of Proposition J are stating that business is great in Del Mar. It is not. Pacifica Del Mar and Pacifica Breeze Café sales are down $3,000,000 from 2009-2012 versus 2005-2008. We struggle every day to maintain our business. The Plaza is still suffering with what is now its fourth owner. One need only walk through the Plaza or up and down Camino Del Mar to see there isn’t much of anything to keep locals in town or bring tourism or folks that live east of 5 to Del Mar. Maybe that is what some locals want, to keep Del Mar for themselves, as is. I don’t believe there are enough sales tax, TOT tax and other revenue to supplement property taxes to keep Del Mar thriving. Proposition J will revitalize downtown for years to come. Del Mar deserves it and before you cast your vote either way you need to have an open mind, listen to both sides of the argument and not heed the scare tactics of those opposed to moving forward. Vote YES on Proposition J to save Del Mar. Kipp Downing Proprietor, Pacifica Del Mar and Pacifica Breeze Cafe

Vote No on Prop J to avoid chaos The insidious problem with Prop J is that it will cancel Del Mar’s existing City Measure B provision, which requires voter approval of large commercial development. It will allow developers to utilize a “Density Bonus” for affordable housing and permits a 50 percent over-the-cap increase without voter approval. The traffic analysis seems inadequate with the recent addition of the light at 15th Street (instead of the roundabout) and no mention of the traffic on the 5 (estimated at 280,000 vehicles per day), which will reroute onto Camino del Mar (CDM), Crest, Luneta, or Stratford when backups occur on the 5. Moreover, because the traffic analysis was done during off-peak months, it could not adequately account for the one million or more people who visit our beaches every year and the three million who visit the Fair. In addition, heavy bicycle traffic on CDM will be disruptive and dangerous as people back out of diagonal parking; this will surely cause more accidents, based on reports from bicyclists in Bird Rock who already encounter this problem. Prop J may be well intended, but we can do better. Vote No on J to maintain our right to approve future development and avoid chaos and gridlock on CDM. Mary and Jeff Friestedt

What do you think are the biggest issues facing Solana Beach School District? Education, whether at the classroom or the district level, is a function of community. The best way to insure the continued success of our schools and students is to strengthen that community. As elected representatives of the parents, children and taxpayers of Solana Beach, that task belongs to the school board. While a corps of committed volunteers is one of the district’s greatest strengths, outreach is also necessary, to include those whose involvement may be limited by their life circumstances — single parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, or those who may feel excluded by accent, English skills, ethnicity, or unfamiliarity with life in an American school. Our committed teachers and support staff need strong support as well, from a board that listens carefully to their concerns. We should also be thinking beyond our traditional two neighborhood approach to board representation and make sure we actively See SUMMERS, page 14

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Pro Prop J rhetoric divisive, distorted
I find the rhetoric of the pro Prop J to be divisive. In their mailer they accuse the “No on J” residents of deception, falsehoods, and dishonesty. By contrast, are the supporters of Prop J the bearers of gospel truth? There are other legitimate and ethical perspectives on the seven items the pro people have raised, as follows: 1. CLAIM: Prop J will “result in overdevelopment.” Pro J’s like to equate the Bird Rock with Del Mar. This is not only comparing apples to oranges, but more like apples to stones. The Bird Rock has little bearing on Del Mar. The following are but three reasons: A. Del Mar is the major artery for leaving and entering Freeway 5. Bird Rock is no such feeder. B. Del Mar has the racetrack and fair traffic. Bird Rock has no such congestion. C. Del Mar’s goal has always been to preserve our village atmosphere. Bird Rock wanted a more commercial atmosphere. Let us wait and see Solana Beach’s experience and learn from their successes and/or failures. Do we want to be more like Solana Beach or retain our unique Del Mar culture? 2. CLAIM: Prop J will “double air pollution.” A 28 percent increase in FAR will definitely lead to more cars and congestion. If the VSP’s objective is to bring in more tourist dollars, that definitely means more tourist cars. Pros have no monopoly on common sense as stated in their mailing. However, they do lack an analytical mind. It is like stating that if you jump off the Empire State Building, 99 percent of the journey is safe, without analyzing the final consequence. 3. CLAIM: Prop J will “eliminate views of the ocean, sky and trees.”
Talking about common sense, don’t taller buildings block more sunlight and views? Moreover, how equitable is it to give property owners on the west side a 28 percent bonanza and zilch to the owners on the east side of 101? Regarding the Design Review Board: Where was it during the encroachment of the restaurants onto our public sidewalks? They had full authority to do their important job, but were bypassed by the City Council. The same thing can happen with the VSP. 4. CLAIM: Prop J will “result in overdevelopment.” A 28 percent increase in FAR is huge! Think in terms of your own home. If Prop J were really resident oriented we should all have the option to increase our home’s FAR by 28 percent. My family would be delighted — all my children and grandchildren can stay with us under the same roof. Besides, I could add a separate residence for about $100,000 to $150,000 and add $1,000,000 to the value of my property. That is exactly what is offered to the commercial property owners/developers on the west side of 101. Whether they are voting citizens or not, commercial property owners will spend a mint to promote Prop J, and rightfully so, due to the huge profits involved. 5. CLAIM: Prop J will “reduce property values.” That will mainly be determined by the general economy. Under President Carter’s 18 percent interest rate and Bush’s deficits for unpaid wars, the real estate market crashed. 6. CLAIM: Prop J will “cost taxpayers $12 million.” Proponents say that this $12 million will be paid for by the state and federal governments. It is far more realistic to state that Prop J may be partially funded by the state
Proposition J is for all generations of residents — Vote Yes on J!
and the federal governments. As of now Del Mar has not seen a dime! If the federal government is unable to provide for the needs of our brave wounded warriors, who is willing to guarantee funds for a relatively prosperous Del Mar? If we are indeed funded by the state, under measure B, if the VSP passes, we will lose local control of our city’s development. Please note the excellent letter by Sharon Feierabend in this newspaper’s Sept. 27, 2012 issue. 7. CLAIM: Several former mayors oppose Prop J. The proponents distort the history of development in our city. The initial opposition to the Del Mar Plaza by the former mayors, councilmen and residents of Del Mar, led not only to a significant reduction of the FAR, but a superior resident oriented Plaza, with a market and open spaces. This development clearly demonstrated the significance of our Del Mar process, and the caring concern of our citizens and the enlightened developers. I grant the proponents of Prop J a sincere desire to help the city with additional revenues and at the same time enrich the west side property owners and developers. Maneck S. Wadia, Ph.D Del Mar
This is written in response to a letter to the editor by Ms. Wadia regarding Proposition J. I moved to Del Mar with my family when I was 15 years old. I attended Torrey Pines High School when it was surrounded by dirt roads and called North City West. I moved away, attended college and graduate school, married and had three daughters, and I moved back to Del Mar 11 years ago to be in the town that I love. My 74-year-old father still lives up the street from me and my parents in-law live part-time in Del Mar also. We have three generations of Del Mar residents in our house on a daily basis. We know first hand what it is like to live in Del Mar spanning multi-generations. Our family loves the restaurants, cafes, services and shops in Del Mar. Some member of our family can be seen on a daily basis at one or more of the downtown businesses. However, we know that the south end of town near our home is in serious decay. Camino del Mar is impossible to cross safely at anytime of day, traffic is terrible due to the stop signs, there is not a continuous sidewalk, there are not any public spaces or interesting architecture (with the exception of Cafe Secret), the open storefronts have turned into tattoo parlors, and telemarketing businesses. Proposition J is not about creating a tourist/party town. Proposition J is about creating a town with renewed life for multi-generations of residents and visitors. In answer to your question, the Grove/Coppo family of Del Mar (all eight of us with moms, dads, grandparents and kids) would like to see Proposition J/the Village Specific Plan implemented to help downtown Del Mar improve and serve the needs of the residents and visitors alike. Del Mar has a the option of continuing to decay or improve. We would like to see Del Mar step proudly into the 21st century and sustain itself as a beautiful seaside community for all generations.

news is that the two candidates vying for the position — Dave Roberts and Steve Danon— are both very strong and voters will triumph no matter who wins.

grams, including the development of the current military healthcare system. A senior manager for an international nonprofit association, Roberts has worked with a number of philanthropies and environmental organizations — he is often applauded for his work with the San Dieguito River Valley and San Elijo Lagoon. Roberts also has a solid financial background, including previous work as an executive with defense contractor SAIC (he has a master of public administration degree in financial management). While the supervisor seat is non-partisan, Roberts, a Democrat, would bring a fresh perspective to the board. All five of the current
board members are Republican and graduates of San Diego State University. Even though he is a Democrat, Roberts has received endorsements from notable figures in both parties, including outgoing supervisor Pam Slater-Price. Roberts has also been described by many who have worked with him as very likeable and able to work with people from a variety of backgrounds. With the County Board of Supervisors now facing term limits and change after a long period of status quo, Roberts has the right background and public service record to help make that transition as smooth as possible.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Don’t ruin Del Mar — Vote ‘No’ on prop J Your “YES” vote on Del Mar Prop J could mean an immediate tripling in the value of the land under our commercial property at 11th & Camino Del Mar. How so? The value of commercial property, unlike residential, is based on the return on the investment. Rental income is based on the floor area of building rented. Since the floor area ratio currently on our property is only 29 percent, Prop J would allow an increase in the FAR to at least 100 percent — an increase of 245 percent. And the value, as well. We should be voting “Yes,” but let me tell you why we are voting “No.” We have lived immediately next door to
One View: Down to the wire
our commercial property since 1964, and we believe the planned changes to the downtown will destroy the small-scale livability we have enjoyed in Del Mar, lower the value of our home and really be bad for business. We believe changes to the main street would create more havoc there and on our side street, with whatever traffic and parking solutions they might provide. There is call for more restaurants along the entire six blocks, creating more smells, rats, late night noise, etc. We can live with whatever replaces this proposed Plan. Vote “No” on Prop J. Ralph Peck Del Mar
Why won’t the No on Prop J group debate the issues? Whether you support or oppose Prop J in Del Mar, everyone agrees the choice voters make in November will have a big impact on our city’s future, favorably in my opinion. So I was very disappointed to learn that opponents of Prop J have refused an invitation from the Del Mar Times to participate in a televised debate. If opponents believe the claims they’ve made are factual and defensible, I assume they would welcome a chance to present them to interested voters. The fact that leaders of the No on J group refused to debate the issues should cause every undecided voter in town to question the credibility of opponents’ claims. The City Council and the leaders of Yes on J gladly accept the invitation to debate and get the facts out. It appears the No Group would prefer to ignore the facts and plant factually incorrect information in order to raise fear among residents. To me this is unconscionable in light of all the work that has been done (staff time and consultants), the public outreach program (90 pubic meetings) and the tax payer money expended ($500K-plus) to arrive at what I feel is a very balanced plan to revitalize the Village.
PAGE 21
I will be voting with supporters of Prop J, which include 100 percent of our City Council members and 100 percent of our Planning Commission members. The City Council and Planning Commission members are made up of dedicated Del Mar citizens, just like you. They studied this issue extensively over two-plus years using top traffic engineers and other consultants. After all the studies, meetings and public input, why would 100 percent of the Council vote for something that would negatively impact the town they live in? The Council had the courage to move forward to approve an executable planning document to improve downtown. By contrast, the many previous “studies” on the Village upgrade just sit on the shelf. Also, Prop J has been endorsed by both the Democratic and Republican parties, supported by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the North County Bicycle Association and the Walk San Diego program. Let’s finally get something positively done downtown and vote Yes on Prop J. Howard Gad, Del Mar
Thank you for voting us “Best Dentist!”
BY GORDON CLANTON Mail ballots went out Oct. 8. Two-thirds of voters now cast their ballots by mail. Candidates and political columnists scramble to adjust. Consider holding your mail ballot until Nov. 6. Then drop it at a polling place. You may learn something important about a candidate or ballot measure between now and then. In previous columns, I urged YES on Props 30, 34, and 36 and NO on Props 32 and 38. No on 31. This grab bag of reforms includes some good ideas, but the measure is poorly written and unlikely to produce meaningful benefits. It is opposed by teachers, cops, environ- GORDON CLANTON mentalists, organized labor, and the California Democratic Party. No on 33. The same Mercury Insurance Co. that spent $16 million on a similar unsuccessful initiative in 2010 is back with another self-serving ballot measure. Yes on 35. This measure would increase prison terms for human trafficking to protect women and children from being forced into prostitution. Yes on 37. The only opposition to this sensible measure comes from Big Food Corps (Nestle, Kellogg, Coca-Cola, Monsanto) who have spent more than $33 million. One need not be persuaded that genetically modified foods are bad for us to support transparency in labeling. Yes on 39. This initiative would close a loophole that allows out-of-state companies to avoid paying their fair share of taxes to California. Yes on 40. A YES vote supports the 2010 State Senate maps drawn by the voter-approved independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. A NO vote would overturn the districts. But the matter has been settled in court, so the opponents of the redistricting are no longer asking for a NO vote. Yes on H. Del Mar is one of several area cities voting on measures to regulate and tax medical marijuana. Although the use of cannabis is prohibited by federal law, California voters decriminalized medical marijuana in 1996. In 2010 Del Mar registered the highest (!) YES vote in the county (64 percent) for a measure to legalize recreational pot. Religious right. Remember Gary Kreep? He recently was elected to a San Diego judgeship because most voters were unfamiliar with his associations with Operation Rescue, the Minutemen, and the “birther” movement. Kreep’s candidacy was part of a larger movement in recent years to elect voices of the religious right, usually as stealth candidates, to various down-ticket offices including fire districts, utility districts, judgeships, and school boards. Several local elections feature candidates from the religious right or the Tea Party. Do your Internet homework. Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

Torrey Pines Boys Lacrosse supports Rady Children’s Hospital at Shamu & You Walk The Torrey Pines Boys Lacrosse Team walked at the Rady Children’s Hospital Shamu & You Walk on Oct. 6 to support and honor their honorary team member Jose Montano. The Torrey Pines Lacrosse Program adopted Jose through the “Friends of Jaclyn Program” in March of 2012. Jose, his family and friends, and the Torrey Pines Lacrosse Team walked together to raise money to support Rady Children’s Hospital. The team name that was chosen by Jose was “Team Faith.” The team had more than 100 walkers and raised approximately $6,000. “Team Faith” was one of three teams to win an award at the event. The award won was the “Most Spirited Team” award. The Torrey Pines Lacrosse Program is working hard to make a difference in the community and the lives of others.

Donation made to Casa de Amistad in memory of longtime teacher Leona Shaw BY KAREN BILLING To celebrate the memory of their friend Leona Shaw, a former Del Mar Union School District teacher that had a lifelong passion for learning, a group of family and Randa Krackow, left, and Susan friends recently Pfleeger, right, recently made a made a donation donation to Casa de Amistad in her name to Program Director Nicole MioneCasa de Amistad. Green in honor of their friend Leona Casa de Amistad Shaw. Photos/Karen Billing is a non-profit, after-school learning center dedicated to the education and character development of Hispanic children, hosted at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church campus. Local residents Susan Pfleeger and Randa Krackow presented the donation of school supplies, such as pencils, crayons, paper, folders and books, to Casa on Oct. 9, as well as $365 in monetary contributions. The donations will be put to very good use. “We waste nothing,” said Casa de Amistad Program Director Nicole Mione-Green. As a former teacher herself, Pfleeger was very impressed by the program and said she knew Shaw would be so happy to help a place like Casa. “This is a wonderful place to be, you guys are so lucky,” Pfleeger told the children. “Leona was a lovely, lovely person and if you happen to use any of these supplies, know that she’s looking down on you and she’s so proud of the progress you have made.” Currently, Casa’s program has 165 young students enrolled, with 48 still on the waiting list. Casa draws from the Del Mar and Solana Beach school districts, as well as Encinitas, Cardiff and Carlsbad. The children are matched up with volunteer tutor/mentors, mostly retired teachers, and they meet twice a week for two-hour sessions. Together, they finish up homework, run flash cards, read a book or Time Magazine for Kids for 15 to 20 minutes, and then if they have time left over they can play a game. Additionally, they have a high school and middle school program, as well as a computer lab thanks to a generous donation of 12 laptop computers. “The computer lab is really important because a lot of these kids don’t have computers at home or access to the Internet,” Mione-Green said. Shaw passed away earlier this year. She taught in Del Mar “forever,” although no one knows quite how long— she started when the Shores was still a school campus, back in the 1960s. She worked at Del Mar Hills until she retired. Shaw used to meet monthly for lunch with a group See TEACHER, page B22
‘The littlest big Halloween Carnival’ returns to benefit Solana Beach schools BY JEANNE FERRIS The littlest big Halloween Carnival is back. The scent of cotton candy is in the air and clever costumes are being created by fine young minds. This “fun”tastic event will be held at 780 Santa Victoria on Sunday, Oct. 21, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The proceeds from this 40 years-plus tradition benefit the children’s enrichment programs at both Solana Vista and Skyline Elementary Schools, hosting in alliance with the Solana Beach Foundation for Learning (SBFL). An ongoing yearly challenge is the endangered enrichment program, which is referred to in the school curriculum as “wheel.” “Wheel” includes art, physical education, science and technology — subjects not available at most schools statewide. This includes supporting materials and teachers’ salaries. Co-chairs extraordinaire, Michelle Becker and Halle Shilling, will once again be at the helm and are always assisted by a cast of volunteer parents and school staff. Breakfast is donated by Top of the Bagel, Solana Beach Coffee Company and Coast Pediatrics Del Mar. “This year we have a photo booth,” says Becker. “Go in with a friend and get four colored candid photographs and two copies.” “We also have Boom Blaster. This is a race to the finish with two players pumping really hard on plastic pumps,” adds Shilling. “The first one to pop their balloon wins.” Check in for the Children’s Costume Contest is 11:30 a.m. A performance by the All Star Dance Academy is at 12 p.m. and the American Family Martial

Beloved Del Mar Heights serpent upgrade almost complete
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Heights School serpent is almost ready to return to action on the playground. The unique 22-foot-long mosaic bench by Del Mar artist Betsy Kopshina Schulz was first made eight years ago as a gift from the sixth grade class of 2004, but vandalism had put a few hurtful dents in the snake. All of the broken pieces have been replaced and a new stain and finish will be added. “We’ve spruced it up so it can last another 100 years of kids, this will keep it looking nicer longer,” Schulz said. “You just don’t see things like this on school campuses. The more art in the community the better because it adds beauty and interest. It’s whimsical and creative and it gives kids a place to have a lot of imaginary play. They can take it from here.” Sarah Smiley, a Torrey Pines alumni and recent graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, worked with Schulz on the snake’s rehab over the past few weeks. Inquisitive “fans” surrounded them during recesses and lunch while they worked; the children asking questions and coming up with really funny comments. “It was great interaction,” Schulz said. “Just by seeing art being done, they learn so much.” Schulz, whose two children are Del Mar Heights graduates and are now in the seventh and ninth grades, does lots of public art work for cities. Some of her work can be seen in archways in Solana Beach, 10 columns downtown, on a mural in Fallbook and on benches and tiles at Fletcher Cove. But she gets a lot of joy from working with young students. “I like to do programs at schools with kids because I like them to see how things are built, so they can appreciate what it takes to get things done,” Schulz said. Schulz also helped develop the school garden, the serpent’s neighbor. “As many outdoor learning environments that can be created the better,” she said. Back in 2004, Schulz worked with sixth graders on the bench project with seven groups submitting designs. Each group designed their bench to scale and made models of their work which were voted on by the class to be made into

The kids came up with all the inspiring words that were used on the snake’s tiles, such as “relish, enjoy, rejoice, discover, dance, dare and conserve.” Over the years vandals had broken several pieces off of the snake, which Schulz said is very disappointing because it would take a lot of work to damage the strong structure they built.

Pacific Rim specialties draw sushi-lovers to Café Japengo BY KELLEY CARLSON ts name means “land of mystery,” yet Café Japengo appears to be well-known among San Diegans. Although Café Japengo is located across the street from the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, in Restaurant Village, it’s more of a local joint than a hotel restaurant. By day, it tends to draw the business crowd. At night, it becomes louder and more trendy. During the summer, there are concerts in the common area shared by the nearby eateries. Inside, much of the activity centers around the sushi bar. Among the sushi chefs’ creations is the Protein Roll with spicy tuna, albacore, scallop, crab, avocado and scallions wrapped in soy paper and topped with garlic-ginger ponzu. Meanwhile, guests sit around the large, square counter, under drapery crafted from noreen (material wrapped around sushi carts in Japan) and keep an eye on the action. The chefs can prepare delicacies based on customers’ preferences, according to General Manager Monia Tonazzo. She recommends patrons become acquainted with a particular chef. “Our chefs are all artists; they all have their own styles,” Tonazzo said. Frequent diners also can take advantage of membership in the Sunday Night Tengu Club. Every half-hour, a prize wheel is spun, and sushi bar patrons wearing Café Japengo anniversary T-shirts are eligible to win gift cards and food. In addition, they receive $10 gift cards for every $50 they spend. Guests who opt to sit in the bar and sip

Nearby are framed kites featuring images of actors who starred in kabuki theater productions. In the main dining room, shoji screens separate booths. The screens — some of which can be seen through — represent the secrecy of the East and mystery of the West. The cuisine is a combination of simplicity and freshness, Tonazzo said. More organic, farm-to-table types of ingredients and sustainable seafood are being incorporated into the dishes these days, and the menu changes every six months. “We want to keep it exciting,” Tonazzo said.

Yet there are staples, some of which are shared by Café Japengo’s related restaurants in Hawaii. One appetizer that seems to be popular is the Roasted Shishito Peppers with ponzu and bonito shavings. Another favorite starter is the Curry Dusted Calamari with Thai lime vinaigrette and chuka salad. A few sandwich and burger selections are available during lunchtime, such as the Kobe Beef Burger. Main entrees served throughout the day include the flaky and delicate Miso Butterfish with Asian truffle broth, shrimp dumplings, jemiji mushrooms, bok choy and gobo root; and Ten Ingredient Fried Rice, which incorporates chicken, shrimp, pork, egg, mushroom and various vegetables.

Del Mar speech, language center making a difference for 25 years BY CLAIRE HARLIN Starting her career as a second grade teacher nearly three decades ago, Jodie Schuller learned that she had a passion for teaching but there was something about the literacy process that she didn’t fully understand, and she was driven to find out more. While getting her master’s degree in communication disorders she started to understand that the feelings and behaviors kids have are often tied to their unnoticed weaknesses in comprehension and literacy. Getting into kids’ heads and understanding how social and educational problems start and progress, Schuller started to develop her own teaching methods and curriculum that would fix problems — sometimes even before they start. “I tried these things on a client — and they worked,� said Schuller. “I kept doing the same thing and I got so busy that I needed help.� Seeing these results, Schuller made it her mission to start a literacy program, and that’s how her business, Jodie K. Schuller and Associates, was born. Over the past 25 years, the Del Mar office has helped hundreds of kids who have come to her from as far as Mexico, and she has become so confident in her
methods that she guarantees results in one semester. “I tell people that if they can give me four months, I’ll give them a different child,� Schuller said. A big connection that is often not made is the connection between reading comprehension and kids’ social lives. “We always fully evaluate kids and I’ve never met a child that was great on the playground but not a great comprehender,� said Schuller. “A child may also be great with scenic but don’t give them a novel and expect them to know what the characters are feeling.� Schuller said social problems, which often develop when a child first starts attending school, can often be prevented by making sure a child is comprehending reading — and even practicing healthy playing techniques —very early on. For example, a red flag for a toddler is when “cause and effect� playing, such as banging on objects or stacking blocks and repeatedly knocking them down, is not developing into “cooperative, imaginative, sequential play,� Schuller said. “This would be like dressing a baby doll and putting it to sleep or driving a toy car along a path to arrive somewhere,� she said. This type of play is indicative that a
child is understanding feelings of others, as well as “expected behaviors,� she said. “Unexpected behaviors are what result in kids not treating each other well,� said speech and language pathologist Tessa Floodberg, who teaches a social thinking group. “A lot of kids only think about themselves, and it’s important they know how to understand and react to others.� She said a lot of times kids will learn to read well, but they simply call out the words without understanding and interacting emotionally with the book. “It’s these same kids who go out on the playground and have trouble comprehending the feelings of others, which leads to problems,� Floodberg said. Further, a simple communication setback that manifests itself in a child’s social life can result in regression or evoke feelings that perpetuate the problem. “If a kid’s not communicating, then the emotional and behavior problems from not being understood can result in feelings of selfworth or failure,� said Schuller. “Parents often have no idea it’s a speech and language problem.� While Schuller and her team specialize in correcting problems re-

miss, but without phonemic awareness, a child can encounter much difficulty later in school years, and prevention is much less expensive, quicker and easier than intervention.� Schuller is available for more information at (858) 509-1131; www.speak4success.com.

FanFaire Foundation musicians at CV Library on Oct. 27 A program of “Kids Playing for Kids” sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be presented at 1 p.m. in the library’s community room to help celebrate National Arts Month. It will feature pianists Michael Chen, Ursula Hardianto, Clara Truong, and Oksana Germain; violinist Kalvin Hibi; and French hornist Christine Chen playing music of Mozart, J S Bach, Haydn, Elgar, Chopin, Brahms, and Kalus Badelt that ranges from 18th century Baroque to contemporary film music. These talented young musicians, ages 9 to 17, who also love science and math have been nurtured by the Foundation to be role models for children in San Diego. The program is free and will last 60 minutes. The “Kids Playing for Kids” program was launched in October 2011. It enables musically gifted children to express and share their love of music with other chil-
dren, further develop their creative skills, and build their self-confidence as performers. Its kids are also encouraged to excel in their studies and to learn the value of community service. The goal is that their passion for music will spark creativity and a sense of community in other young people so they can compete effectively in our science-based society. This is possible because playing music enhances the skills required for learning science and math. In celebration of the program’s first anniversary, the Foundation has produced a CD of studio performances of classical and jazz pieces by 10 of its more than 30 musicians. It should be released in time for this concert. The library is located at 3919 Townsgate Drive in Carmel Valley. For further information call (858) 552-1668.

Carmel Valley office brings rapid weight loss program to San Diego BY CLAIRE HARLIN When Bonnie Walter hit menopause something else hit — weight gain. “I got into my 50s and I was eating well and doing everything and nothing was working,� she said. “It was like my body was Bonnie Walter is the working against owner of Carmel Valley’s me, like it was Bouari Clinic. saying to me, PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN ‘This is where I’m at and no matter what you do, this is where I’m going to be.’� Living in Las Vegas a the time, Walter sought the advice of her former naturopath, Carol Anne Chaney Bouari, who had provided healthcare to Walter and her children for 16 years. Walter knew Bouari had taken a new path with her holistic practice that involved a weight loss program, and she decided to give Bouari’s program a shot. “So many people said ‘Oh that’s the way it is when you hit menopause,’ and they give up, but I thought, ‘There’s got to be something.’� Six weeks later and 25 pounds lighter, Walter — who had previously tried numerous diets and exercise routines — realized she found what she was looking for in Bouari’s program, which came to be known as the Bouari Clinic. It’s a combination of all-natural supplements that support fat burning and reduce hunger and cravings, specially-formulated B-12 supplements, and a healthy diet. The “supplements� are rolled into a liquid that is sprayed under the tongue. Bouari was life-changing for Walter in more ways than one. Not only was she con-

fident, healthier and more energetic, but she also found a new career path. Being such a strong believer in the system, she collaborated with Bouari and left her job in casino design sales in Las Vegas to move to San Diego and open two Bouari offices, one in Carmel Valley and one in Mission Valley. Her Carmel Valley office opened in August at 12707 High Bluff Drive, Suite 200, and she’s already got a clientele that’s seeing fast results. “The best part of my job is seeing how happy people are when they come see me,� said Walter. “They say it’s like having a whole new body.� The program requires that people make frequent visits to Walter’s office, about every seven to 10 days, so she can make health checks and check in on dieting methods. Clients on the program are advised to eat a diet of lean meats, low-sugar fruits and vegetables until they reach their ideal weight. At that point they, can add in carbs. “You can eat plenty as long as it’s the right food,� she said. “The check-ups are a good way to keep people motivated.� The natural herb blend Bouari came up with is formulated to get the body to release stored fat, which is often hard to do because it means going against the natural process of only tapping into fat when the body is starving. “Naturally the body wants to keep that fat there for survival,� Walter said, adding that she sees both women and men have substantial results from the Bouari Clinic. “One gentleman was on high blood pressure pills when he first came to me, but in two weeks he had lowered his blood pressure, was off the pills and he lost 17 pounds,� she said. “Naturally women are faced with weight problems because of how they are built, but so many men come in to get their bellies off, and I’ve seen those bellies come off fast.� For more information, visit www.

Several years ago, the owner sold the store to him, and Moreno realized his lifelong dream of owning a shop. Today, Moreno and his son, Alex Moreno, continue to conduct their business in the space with the assistance of four employees. Their most unique service is fashioning shoes from scratch. First, Fred Moreno creates plastic molds of a customer’s feet. Then shoe lasts — forms in the shape of feet — are adjusted to accommodate any irregularities a client may have in their feet. Moreno saves the pair of lasts, in case the person requests additional footwear in the future. Finally, Moreno hand-makes the uppers — the parts of a shoe that cover the toes, the top and sides of the foot, and the back of the heel — with input from the customer. The shoes are constructed based on the color, type of material and style that the client desires. Heels are also adjusted to preference.

Alexa Alyeshmerni
Girl Scout helps bring soccer gear to South African Children
Mia, Teresa
Daisy, Laurel, Wallace Ashley, Cesar
When Alexa Alyeshmerni, 14, a freshman at Del Norte High School, learned that boys and girls in South Africa enjoy play soccer more than any other sport, even though some had never played with a real soccer ball, she decided to focus her Girl Scout Silver Project on creating a donation drive for soccer gear. Her brother had just returned from a medical rotation in the remote village of Tugela Ferry, South Africa and described children playing with homemade soccer balls out of plastic grocery bags. She learned that playing soccer was a great way for them to channel their creative energy and avoid risky behaviors that in turn could lead to crime, HIV, and tuberculosis. Alexa made various contacts with local soccer leagues, soccer academies and sent emails to friends and family. She established a donation box at the local Sport Authority and within two short weeks had amassed enough new and used gear to fill three large suitcases. With the help of her brother, Dr. Daniel Alyeshmerni and his colleagues with the Yale/Stanford Johnson and Johnson Global Health scholars program, medical residents will be bringing welcome soccer equipment to the local children in Msinga, South Africa. Alexa looks forward to making her “Soccer 4 South Africa” an annual drive. She chose the project because it meant so much to her to help an underprivileged child have fun – or even achieve their dreams. “Perhaps delivering a soccer ball could go to the next ‘world cup star!”’

Fig Out this Fall The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The season is short and sweet for fresh and fragrant figs. So grab a basket at the market while they last — rich and luscious dark purple Black Missions, golden nutty-flavored Calimyrnas or greenish yellowy-skinned Kadotas. Here’s a primer on everything you need to know so you can fully enjoy these California gems. In the beginning The fig has many honorable mentions in the Bible, while the fig leaf was probably the first “underwear” worn by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden — the original Fruit of the Loom. Figs in ancient times were heralded as the cure for assorted ailments with fountain-of-youth properties to fortify the young, maintain the elderly, and even reduce wrinkles. The Greeks revered figs so much that laws were passed forbidding the export of these coveted treasures. Figs made their way to California in 1759 when the Spanish missionary fathers planted them at the San Diego Mission, ergo the name “Mission” figs. Fig trees were planted at each new mis-
sion, going northward through California. In 1882, the Smyrna variety was brought to the San Joaquin valley from Turkey and was renamed Calimyrna after its new homeland. Go Figure Figs are fat, sodium and cholesterol-free, low in calories, but high in immuneboosting anti-oxidants, especially carotenes and luteins for eye health, Vitamins A, E, K and nerve calming B that also helps metabolize carbs, proteins and fats. Figs are full of chlorogenic acid to lower blood sugar levels along with minerals, including copper, potassium, zinc and iron for cardiac and cellular wellbeing. Great as bone boosters, a cup of dried figs has as much calcium as a tall glass of milk. Also loaded with ficin, a digestive enzyme makes the fig nature’s XLax. In fact, figs have the highest dietary fiber than any other dried or fresh fruit. Toss these nutritional nuggets into your smoothies, muffins, crepes and pancakes, oatmeal, biscotti, banana and pumpkin breads, fill your bird with a fig and apricot stuffing, chop into quinoa, tabouli, basmati rice or risottos, whip up a fig chutney, toss an arugula, candied walnut and fig salad, or relish them straightup raw and whole. Selecting Figs • When buying fresh ones make sure they are plump and soft with green, brown or purple-hued skin. If they have a sour smell, the sugars have fermented and the fruit is spoiled. • Fresh figs should be refrigerated and eaten with-
in 5 days of purchase. • Packaged dried figs can be stored tightly wrapped at room temperature. • California fresh figs are in season August-October, depending on the variety, while dried ones can be enjoyed year round. Fun Fig Facts Figs can only be pollinated by fig wasps, and these insects can only breed inside figs, a mutual relationship in existence for 60 million years. Botanically figs are not a fruit, rather a cluster of flowers (the crunchy little seeds) wrapped around a juicy pulp. Fig puree is a perfect substitute for fats in baked goods. California produces 100 percent of the country’s dried figs, 98 percent of fresh ones. Figs made their commercial debut with the launching of Fig Newtons in 1892. Branching Out So Cal climes are ideal for growing fig trees. In fact, these fruit trees are considered one of the easiest to grow whether in the ground or in potted containers. Figs require well-drained, fertile loamy soil, plenty of moisture and protection from cool winds. They need full sunlight and elbowroom (15-20 feet apart), along with annual fertilizing and pruning in late winter before their growth. Figs should be picked only when ripe as they stop ripening once off the tree. For additional apple recipes, email kitchenshrink@san. rr.com.

Willis Allen Real Estate recently announced the addition of Realtor Kathryn Holt to its Del Mar branch office. Holt brings many years of real estate design and staging experience to the table. She says that while she specializes in buyers and sellers in the coastal communities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiffby-the-Sea and Encinitas, she also works throughout the greater San Diego County area because “different communities appeal to the deKathryn Holt signer in me.” “Not only do I help my clients understand and navigate the current real estate market, but I also give them a competitive edge through value-added services like property presentation,” says Holt. She adds that buying and selling real estate is one of the most important decisions that a person will make, “and I want to make it a positive experience for my clients.” Holt says she likes to think of the home as a member of the family. “Life can throw you curve balls, so it’s comforting to know that you have a soft place to land at the end of the day.” She adds that a person’s home also provides a foundation to bond and unite with family and friends. Del Mar Branch Manager Judith Bradley says Holt’s clients are drawn to her caring attitude and her sense of integrity. “Kathryn is calm under pressure, committed to finding creative solutions to challenges, and dependable and loyal. These are all important traits for Willis Allen Realtors, and we are happy to have her on our team.” Holt has a strong sense of community and has taught education classes for the past 15 years through MiraCosta College, San Dieguito Adult School, and Coronado Adult Education. To reach Willis Allen Realtor Kathryn Holt call (858342-0968) or send email to kathrynholt@willisallen.com.

TEACHER continued from page B1 of fellow retired teachers, including Pfleeger and Krackow (a former Del Mar Heights teacher). During one recent lunch, Shaw’s daughters and granddaughter joined the group to share lovely memories of her and the group decided they should do something charitable in her name. They started collecting school supplies and checks for Casa — each item has a little sticker that reads, “Donated in memory of Leona Shaw, beloved teacher in the Del Mar Union School District.” As the school year is still new, so is Casa’s year and Mione-Green said they are off to a great start. Last week students were rewarded with ring pops for returning a card signed by their teachers with an e-mail address for the teachers so the Casa tutors can communicate with the students’ teachers. It’s Mione-Green’s goal that the Casa tutors can collaborate with the teachers on how best they can help the children during their time at Casa. Currently, Casa has 115 volunteer tutors and they could always use more, especially with the waiting list of students that they have. “Our volunteers are what makes the program so successful. They are an amazingly committed group of people,” Mione-Green said. They aim for a one-toone match-up with volunteers, and many of the partnerships can last for years. Even after meeting just four times so far this year, the students all know where to go and what they need to do. Last week, after the excitement of fresh school supplies and ring pops, the students and tutors were busy at work. “They’re such happy little learners,” remarked Krackow. “There’s such a good feeling in the room.” Mione-Green agreed with Krackow. “Casa is a really special place,” Mione-Green said. “You can’t really describe it until you’re here and you feel it.” Learn more about Casa de Amistad at casadeamistad.org.
