Plastic bag ban to soon go into effect for more SB businesses ■ TPHS recently held its Teacher Mini Grant Night. Page B12

BY CLAIRE HARLIN For Solana Beach residents, that stash of used plastic shopping bags in the kitchen has dwindled, perhaps, and keeping reusable bags in the car has become the new routine — either that or just shopping in other communities instead. For some retailers, however, the post-Plastic Bag Reduction Ordinance transition has not been as easy. Adopted on May 9 as an expression of the City Council’s desire to conserve resources, lower emissions and reduce litter and marine pollution, the ban went into effect on Aug. 9 for the city’s larger retailers, such as grocery and convenient stores, and on Nov. 9, the rest — some 100 smaller vendors — will follow. According to the city, a

yearly total of more than 6 million singleuse carry-out bags will be eliminated as a result of pioneering this measure. But that doesn’t have business owners such as Lau Voda, who runs the Minute Shops Liquor Store at 149 Lomas Santa Fe, convinced that the ban is good for the city. According to the ordinance, retailers may provide paper bags to customers, however, they must not charge less than 10 cents per bag. “Customers keep complaining, especially because a lot of them walk or ride their bikes, so plastic is easier for them to carry out,” she said. And when it comes to charging for paper bags, Voda said she has decided to scrap See BAN, Page 8

Parolee arrested after Del Mar burglaries

■ CCA Boys Soccer Holiday Fundraiser Page 7

Hours after a number of Del Mar homes were burglarized, deputies on Oct. 22 arrested a parolee they found with several of the stolen items, a sheriff lieutenant said Oct. 23. Adam Bautista, 24, was also found with other items that deputies suspect were stolen during the spree, Lt. Kenn Nelson said. Nelson said a number of residents on Stratford Court, near 4th Street, reported overnight and early-morning burglaries on Oct. 22. Deputies arrested Bautista after some-

one spotted him looking through garage lockers in a nearby condominium complex, Nelson said. Bautista was arrested on suspicion of residential burglary, petty theft with a prior conviction and being a felon in possession of ammunition. Anyone in the Del Mar area who may have been victim in the burglary series but has not yet spoken to authorities can call sheriff’s Detective Mike Casey at the Encinitas station at (760) 966-3500. — City submission

County supervisors to consider possible partnership options for governance of fair board BY KATHY DAY County supervisors on Oct. 31 will consider a proposal that some hope could lead to more local control in governing the 22nd District Agricultural Association. At the urging of Adam Day, president of the board charged with operations of the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Ron Roberts and Greg Cox are asking their fellow supervisors to open discussions “on potential partnership options.” Day has been talking in board meetings and in conversations with local leaders for more than four months about finding what he calls “new governance models that would expand and enhance input from local government.” In a phone interview on Oct. 19, he said, “The county is the logical representative for all of the citizens of San Diego County. The fairgrounds and the race meet frankly belong to all of the residents of the county and beyond.” Day said the objective is to find a way to be “more transparent, with increased local input in the operations, and free of state bureaucracy,” Both Cox and Roberts issued statements saying they think the idea is worth exploring. “The concept is intriguing,” Roberts said via e-mail. “The San Diego County Fairgrounds is a regional asset and the certainty that comes with regional control may be beneSee FAIR, Page 8

Del Mar to consider temporary moratorium on food trucks BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Nov. 19 will bring a food truck moratorium to the table, which would put the breaks on any new food truck permits until the city conducts a thorough analysis of their impact on the community and has proper guidelines in place if needed. “I think we need to take a reasonable amount of time to see how this service impacts us,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott during an Oct. 22 council discussion on the issue. “First, we need an analysis to identify if there are any problems, and then we can explore putting guidelines in place that will regulate this new and growing business phenomenon.” On Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., a company called Curbside Bites brought a group of six various gourmet food trucks to the parking lot located at 1601 Coast Blvd., across from the beach and Powerhouse Park. The company, which has organized several other food truck events around Southern California, intends to continue and grow the Wednesday night offering in Del Mar, however, the city has heard concern from the community regarding issues from competition to noise to restroom availability. “I would like staff to develop appropriate rules and regulations that address the particulars of this industry, because they are not addressed in the current code, which was developed before food trucks became prevalent,” Mayor Carl Hilliard said.

Meet the SD County Board of Supervisors District 3 candidates Two candidates are vying for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors District Three seat in the Nov. 6 election: Steve Danon and Dave Roberts. Below are candidate photos, bios and answers to two questions given to them by this newspaper. The 3rd Supervisorial District includes Carmel Valley, Solana Beach and Del Mar. Name: Steve Danon Years living in the district: 19 years Profession/education: Chief of Staff, Office of Congressman Brian Bilbray B.A., San Diego State UniversiSteve Danon ty Community activities: •California Coastal Coalition •San Diegans Against Crime •San Diego County Taxpayers Association •San Diego Repertory Theatre •Partnerships With Industry (an organization that empowers those with physical and mental challenges find work with business) •Lincoln Club of San Diego County •American Lung Association of San Diego/Imperial County •Coached in the Carmel Valley Youth Baseball League •Financial Task Force, Del Mar Unified School District •Coaches in the Del Mar Little League 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the district? Jobs and the economy, cutting government spending and holding elected officials accountable are the biggest issues impacting

the 3rd District. a. Jobs and the Economy i. We need to restore and revitalize our local economy. In order to do that, we must create a healthier business environment and promote job-growth in San Diego County. We must cut the red-tape and bureaucracy. It should not take five to seven years for businesses to get the approvals needed create jobs. With my private sector experience, having founded and built a local business, I know what it takes to help businesses succeed. I have proposed reforms to the Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) that would make it easier for businesses to start, expand and stay here. b. Cutting Government Spending i. We need to cut government spending, and in order to do so, I have also proposed the following reforms needed at the county: 1. Abolishing the Supervisors’ $5 million “slush fund” that’s been abused and used to purchase political patronage. 2. Reforming the pension system starting with the Supervisors’ so taxpayers aren’t left holding the bag. 3. Eliminate the “double-dipping” of thousands of taxpayer dollars of “per diems” from outside organizations and agencies to Supervisors. 4. Eliminate the $12,000 per year “car allowance” Supervisors receive that is added to their pension for retirement benefits. c. Restoring Public Confidence, See DANON, page 18

Name: Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts Years living in the district: I have lived in Solana Beach for almost two decades. Profession/education: I currently serve as a Vice President of Government Relations for the Healthcare Information Dave Roberts and Management Systems Society, a 52-year old cause-based, not-for-profit organization exclusively focused on providing global leadership for the optimal use of information technology and management systems for the betterment of healthcare. I am a federal appointee to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and serve as an adjunct professor of health information technology at UCSD. I am a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School Executive Leadership Institute, University of Virginia’s Sorensen Institute of Political Leadership, as well as the U.S. Air Forces’ Air Command and Staff College and Squadron Officer School. I hold an Associate of Science (1980) from Northwestern Connecticut Community College, and a Bachelor of Arts (1982) and Masters of Public Administration (1985) in Financial Management degrees from The American University in Washington D.C. Community activities: I have spent many years serving on the Board of Directors for San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), North County Transit District, San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, San Dieguito

River Park Joint Powers Authority, Escondido Creek Watershed Authority, Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, Polinsky Children’s Center and the California Biodiversity Council. I am the incoming President of the League of California Cities (San Diego Division) and the Chair of San Diego County’s Consolidated Transportation Services Agency. I am a member of Lions Clubs International where I currently serve as District 4-L6 Foundation Chair and Northwest Region Chair. I am the Charter President of the Del Mar/Solana Beach Lions Club. I am also a member of the League of Women Voters, Lifetime member of the Sierra Club, Solana Beach Civic & Historical Society, Lifetime member of the National Eagle Scout Association, Friends of the San Diego River Valley Conservancy, Friends of the San Elijo Lagoon, San Diego County Taxpayers Association, North County Adoptive Parents Association, North San Diego County Chamber of Commerce, a 35-year member of the Patrons of Husbandry (Grange), and a Lifetime member of the National Military Family Association. 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the district? The number one issue facing our district and our region, is jump-starting — and growing — the local economy. Government must get out of the way of large corporations and small businesses to help them produce new jobs. We can do this by cutting red tape, stopping new fees and working with business to create an environment that promotes job growth. With my long-term business background, and as an ex-

Solana Beach City Council race one of the most heated in years BY JOE TASH In 2008 and again in 2010, election time in the city of Solana Beach was a sleepy affair. When no one challenged incumbent City Council members seeking new terms, elections were cancelled. This year, things are much livelier: six people, including one incumbent, are running for three seats on the five-member council. The five challengers are all making their first run for elected office, although they have all been involved in civic, volunteer and business activities. No matter what happens on Nov. 6, the composition of the council will change, as two council veterans, Mayor Joe Kellejian and Councilman Dave Roberts, step down (Roberts is running for county supervisor). The six candidates include incumbent Councilwoman Lesa Heebner, who is seeking her third term, along with David Zito, Peter Zahn, Vickie Driver, Paul Frankel and Daniel Powell. The six candidates are aligned in two groups; Driver, Frankel and Powell question the city’s direction and charge that it is facing financial difficulties, while Heebner, Zahn and Zito contend Solana Beach is on a solid financial footing, and they generally support the current council’s agenda. Earlier this month, Driver, Frankel and Powell declined to attend a candidate forum co-sponsored by the Solana Beach Clean & Green Committee and the Solana Homeowners Group. In a joint statement, the three said, “We have decided not to participate in the Oct. 8 candidate forum because the format of the event is not conducive to an informative and broad discussion of the issues most important to Solana Beach residents.” Driver, Frankel and Powell have also issued at least one joint mailer and a blast email critical of the city’s finances, which Heebner, in an email to supporters, slammed as “blatantly false.” (See story below.) While the members of the two groups support each others’ candidacies, both sides deny they are running as a slate. Rather, they point out similarities in viewpoint and experience between themselves and the candidates they support. As of Sept. 30, the end of the latest reporting period, none of the candidates had a compelling lead in fund-raising. Accord-

ing to campaign finance statements released by the city clerk’s office, Driver raised $3,825 and loaned her campaign $1,000; Frankel raised $1,320 and loaned his campaign $5,000; Heebner raised $3,410 and loaned her campaign $1,000; Powell raised $2,320; Zahn raised $2,361 and loaned his campaign $2,000; and Zito raised $3,325 and loaned his campaign $2,000. The Solana Beach Sun conducted telephone interviews with the six candidates. Following in random order are brief profiles of the six people running for seats on the Solana Beach City Council: Peter Zahn Zahn is a business attorney who has served on the board of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, and also as an organizer for Fiesta del Sol, the city’s annual music festival at Fletcher Cove. He also founded the nonprofit U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit business association, and serves as the group’s board chairman. Although the state had suspended the Green Chamber’s corporate status in June for failure to file a 2009 tax return, Zahn said the paperwork has since been filed and the suspension should soon be lifted. Among the major issues facing the city, said Zahn, are protecting and enhancing the city’s quality of life and community character. “The key thing is to make sure we have balance in terms of the amount of development that goes on in the city, while maintaining our small town coastal character,” he said. He said some of his opponents are supported by real estate and construction interests, and one of the candidates has called for “over-the-counter permitting, presumably with little review… This is really a throwback to 1987 when we had unbridled development… that was one of the key reasons we incorporated.” Zahn said he would use his business and legal experience to help attract and retain growing companies, and to bring both visitors and revenue to the city. He supports the current Highway 101 improvement project, and said he would like to see similar efforts along the Cedros and Stevens corridors, to create “attractive, livable, walk-

Solana Beach officials respond to mailer about city’s financial problems BY CLAIRE HARLIN As Election Day inches closer and the Solana Beach City Council race heats up, it’s likely residents have received at least one of a handful of mailers that have been sent out or received a forwarded email or two in their inbox. As with any race, contention is building, fingers are pointing and information — both accurate and inaccurate — is flying, and it’s up to voters to weed through it. One particular joint campaign flyer sent out by candidates Vickie Driver, Daniel Powell and Paul Frankel, however, likely has caused the most stir, even at City Hall. The mailer says the city is in “serious financial trouble” and points to budget deficits and high litigation costs spent defending lawsuits, in addition to calling out City Councilmember and candidate Lesa Heebner specifically for increasing taxes and fees — including a $3,000 home remodeling fee, a 30-percent increase in the hotel tax, a trash fee, increases in two business fees and a new business tax. City Manager David Ott said the city’s financial trouble was “significantly overstated” in the mailer, which also attributed the city’s borrowing of $3 million from the city’s sanitation fund to being a means to cover increased employee pension costs that were a result of the “overly-generous benefits approved by Lesa Heebner.” The city’s unfunded pension liability of just over $3 million began accumulating in 1986, according to a memo by Councilman Tom Campbell. Although Solana Beach was the first city in the region to implement full pension reform, the city was still faced with a bill to CALPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System), and had the city paid the pension administrator at its interest rate of 7.75 percent, interest would have totaled more than $1 million, Ott said. It made financial sense, he said, to borrow the money from the sanitation fund because it was at a lower interest rate and the city would be able to pay See MAILER, page 9 it off in eight years as opposed to 12.

Morning Del Mar robbery adds to string of resale shop thefts

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Lucie Le, owner of Ladies Designer Resale Boutique in Del Mar, was in for an unfortunate — and familiar — surprise on Oct. 18, when she received a call from her security alarm company saying her shop had been broken into. This was the fourth time the shop, located at 1150 Camino del Mar, has been broken into this year. “I tried to call the store to make sure it wasn’t a mistake,” she said. “By the time I got there the Sheriff was already there.” The incident happened around 7:15 a.m. and, fortunately, Le said her business neighbor, Art Katz of U.S. Building and Development, opens his office early and arrived to work in time to see a man loading designer handbags and other merchandise into a 36-inch trashcan outside the shop door, which officials said the robber opened with a crowbar. Katz declined to comment, but Le described his actions as heroic. She and Sheriff’s detective Mike Casey said Katz chased the suspect to his vehicle, a 2001 gold Ford Ranger truck, and copied down the license plate number. “The robber had the trashcan full of Chanel and Louis Vuitton handbags, and I got all that back, thank God,” said Le, adding that there were still some items the robber got away with, so it may have been his second trashcan load. She said she thanked Katz for stepping in, but was concerned about his safety. “He’s a big guy, but next time I would prefer that he thinks about his safety more

than my merchandise,” she said. Le is equipped with an alarm and surveillance camera, however, the quality on the surveillance footage was too grainy to make out details of the suspect’s appearance, said Casey. Katz, however, described him to authorities as being about six feet tall and medium build, likely between the ages of 20 and 30. Casey said authorities have located the registered owner of the vehicle. However, that person sold the vehicle and the new owner does not fit Katz’s description. As of Oct. 24, nobody had been apprehended or held as a suspect. Le said this is the fourth time in 2012 that her store has been burglarized, and she’s had to replace a door or window each time. “This is just ridiculous for the Del Mar area,” said Le, who moved down the street after being broken into twice at her previous Camino del Mar location. “I pay a lot of money in rent here.” Carolyn Lancaster, owner of Carolyn’s Designer Resale at 1310 Camino del Mar, said she was the victim of a similar robbery about two months ago. “It was the same thing. It was in the morning, at 6 a.m., and they took Chanel handbags,” said Lancaster, adding that her total loss was about $5,000. “I heard of one like this in Encinitas too.” Casey said it has not been determined if there is a theft ring, or whether the crimes could be committed by the same person, See THEFTS, page 9

Chevys to close after 20 years of serving local communities

BY CLAIRE HARLIN After nearly 20 years in operation, Chevys Fresh Mex in the Flower Hill Promenade will close at the end of the year, and a sister restaurant to San Diego’s Cucina Urbana will open there in May. Flower Hill owner Jeffrey Essakow said it is unfortunate that Chevys didn’t renew its lease when it had the option in August, but he’s excited to see Cucina Enoteca, a modern Italian food and wine bar concept, come to town. “They are an exciting, new, up-and-coming restaurant, and I’ve been working with owner Tracy Borkum for nine years to bring them to Flower Hill,” said Essakow. “She’s been desperately looking for a North County location and finally found the right spot.” The opening of the 7,000-square-foot Cucina Enoteca will be the first of 10 nationwide, said spokeswoman Kelly LaPrade Brown, adding that Borkum is working with “a powerhouse team” of local designers and architects. The multi-million dollar project will be the restaurateur’s most elaborate project yet, Brown said. Borkum’s Banker’s Hill restaurant has turned into a busy landmark since its opening in 2009, and the Flower Hill location — which she described as “the best location in Northern San Diego” — will encompass the same modern kitchen-meets-historic farmhouse concept, featuring a wine shop and bring-your-own option (with a $20 corkage fee, that is). A similar restaurant also opened in Irvine last December. For more information, visit www.cucinaenoteca.com.

Del Mar approves program that gives neighbors more say in design review process BY CLAIRE HARLIN In 2010 when Del Mar City Councilwoman Lee Haydu was serving on the city’s Design Review Board (DRB), she helped pioneer a unique program that lets neighbors review development proposals early in the design phase, before they go before the formal DRB. “I was the one who brought this forth to council when I was on the DRB and I’ve been following this along the whole time,” she said of the Citizens’ Participation Program (CPP), which the council voted unanimously on Oct. 22 to implement permanently after a twoyear trial period they deemed successful. During the two-year trial period, 13 projects required review by the CPP. According to the ordinance, the CPP should look into proposals that would contain more than 50 square feet of bulk floor, add a second story or “hold the potential to cause adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.” Of those 13 projects, one flew through approval on the design board’s consent calendar and six required only one public hearing. City staff observed that, “while the CPP process has not resolved the neighborhood issues for all projects, it has been very effective in facilitating dialogue between applicants/arSee DESIGN, page 9

Anjali Haripriyan, a Sycamore Ridge School sixth grader, was recently honored in a special presentation at Rady Children’s Hospital for her contributions toward childhood cancer research. Over the summer, Anjali turned her 11th birthday party into a fundraiser, forgoing presents for donations and raising $390. She donated that money to the Del Mar/Solana Beach Optimist Club’s Rady Children’s Cancer Fund. On Oct. 19, Anjali received special recognition at the hospital and toured the Ronald McDonald House. Anjali was honored by Carol D.

The new 7th grade class of TVIA SD-2, and the current 8th grade class, had a good start to the year volunteering in Point Loma on Oct. 6 at the Walk Now for Autism Speaks event. Walk Now for Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest grassroots autism walk program, is Autism Speaks’ signature fundraising and awareness event, taking place in communities across the United States, and Canada. Powered by volunteers and families with loved ones on the autism spectrum and local businesses and companies that employ those on the spectrum, this successful grassroots fundraising effort not only generates vital funds for autism research but also raises awareness about the increasing prevalence of autism and the need for increased research funding to combat this complex disorder. The TVIA teens were able to lend a hand in the kid zone area with fitness activities, helping at the bounce house and also handing out water to walkers. As TVIA states, “We are an organization of young men who, together with their families, participate in structured programs of volunteerism, philanthropy, and personal development. It is through these programs that we believe these young men will grow up to become strong community leaders.” These boys are headed in that direction with their bright volunteering futures ahead of them and many more events to participate in this year.

FAIR continued from page 1 ficial.” Cox’s statement was similar, saying, in part, “… it is good government to explore options to keep it in regional control and protect the interests of all our communities and residents.” Their letter to the board said a partnership “would remove any uncertainty surrounding the property’s future as the State of California struggles to balance its budget.” They are recommending that Chief Administrative Officer Walter Ekard, who is leaving his post Dec. 1, begin meetings with fair board officials and report back in 60 days on partnership possibilities. The proposal has the support of Solana Beach City Councilman Dave Roberts, who is seeking the third district supervisor’s seat now held by Pam Slater-Price. He has been a member of the fair relations board with Del Mar and Solana Beach officials for eight years, which he said gives him a good understanding of issues surrounding the fairgrounds. “For years we’ve been working with community leaders on how to protect and preserve this asset,” Roberts said on Oct. 22. “I’m extremely pleased this has caught the attention of the county board of supervisors. It’s a good step forward.” Steve Danon, who is also running for the third district county supervisor’s seat, issued the following statement on the subject: “I strongly support local con-

trol by the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach, San Diego and the County of San Diego to protect this regional asset,” Danon said. Day said he had written to all five supervisors to consider discussing a partnership and heard back from everyone but Slater-Price. In the letter, he wrote that a partnership “would not create any financial or legal burden for the County of San Diego but rather serve to provide local control and leadership for this valuable community asset.” Day said he has been discussing alternatives with the governor’s office and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), which oversees the agricultural associations. CDFA Spokesman Steve Lyle said on Oct. 19 they have been working with fairs for the past 18 months “to be more entrepreneurial from the business point of view while still being a state institution and following the rules.” On Monday, Jay Van Rein of the CDFA, added that the idea of local partnerships is what we are encouraging” and called the fact that the San Diego supervisors and fair board are talking about meeting “a positive sign.” He also noted that Governor Jerry Brown’s recent reappointment of Day to the fair board is an “expression of his confidence in his leadership and creativity.” Editor’s note: There is no relationship between Adam Day and Kathy Day, who wrote this story.

TRUCKS continued from page 1 velopment director, said all six of the trucks got proper business permits to operate at that site, which is zoned as beach commercial use. The applicants had to demonstrate there was adequate parking, that the food is intended for take-away purposes and that their operation didn’t fall under the category of “large assemblance,” Garcia said. “That means they’ve estimated there would be no more than 15 people at one time, and from what we’ve seen that’s somewhere in the same ballpark.” The city approved an operating agreement on Oct. 8 that shares profit with the city in exchange for city enforcement of the lot, on which the developer also plans to put a self-service machine that assigns parking spaces. Parking during the food truck event is free for one hour. Nearby restaurants, which pay much more for the roofs over their heads, expressed concern that the food trucks will take away their business in an unfair way. Councilwoman Lee Haydu said there were also competition concerns when the Del Mar Plaza was built and “there are always hopefully going to be new restaurants going into Del Mar.” She said she was concerned that this year business was down for restaurants, even during the racing season. Haydu also said the restrooms at Powerhouse Park,

which close early in the evening, would need to be open longer to serve those who take their food to the park to eat and watch the sunset. Councilman Don Mosier said it’s hard to regulate competition, but public safety issues such as packaging and recycling of waste need to be regulated. He also said he didn’t like that the trucks were able to come in so abruptly without any public notice. Councilman Mark Filanc agreed that it was sudden. “I didn’t know about it until I got an email from the community,” he said. “There’s something wrong with our system for them to just turn the switch and it starts with no kind of public hearing.” The Del Mar food truck gathering is the first of its kind to operate right at the beach, said organizer Christian Murcia, who also runs the truck Crepes Bonaparte with his wife, Danielle. He said the truck event is a great way to bring more foot traffic from others areas to Del Mar, which would bring in tax revenue and boost business. The six trucks include Italian food, hot dogs, Mexican food, Crepes and barbecue. “The food truck community is one of the fastest growing segments in the food industry,” he said, he said adding that the variety makes it a “one-stop shop” for families. “These are small business owners that are creating fresh gourmet food that’s locally farmed.”

BAN continued from page 1 the ordinance altogether, even thought the ordinance states violations can be punishable by a fine of up to $1,000. “I quit charging. I’d rather take the fine because it’s not worth it for me to lose customers over 10 cents,” she said, adding that she called the city to let them know she was not charging. “They said it’s my call, but encouraged me to recycle,” she said. “The customers appreciate what I’m doing for them. They tell me, ‘Thank you for feeling for us and not selling us this. We have 10 cents, but it’s the principle.’” City manager David Ott said the city is not actively enforcing the “paper bag cost pass-through,” as it’s called in the ordinance, and will only confront a business if someone complains. In that case, he said the city “almost always” gives a warning first. He said there has been a misconception that the city profits from the 10-cent paper bag fee, however, it goes directly to the retailer and the ordinance suggests retailers use that money to promote reusable bag sales by establishing an incentive program. Andrea Knight, an assistant manager at Bevmo, located at 168 Solana Hills Drive, said her store has lost from 3 to 5 percent in sales since the ordinance went into effect.

“We get yelled at quite a bit, at least once a day,” she said. “People don’t see that it has to do with the city. They just look at the person in front of them.” Knight said Bevmo has been providing cardboard boxes when possible because paper bags are often not sturdy or big enough for heavy bottles. “People usually buy one or two bottles and they want their plastic bag,” she said. “A lot of people just go to the Encinitas store instead.” Restaurants are exempt from the ban, pending ongoing statewide litigation that will ultimately decide whether bag bans are preempted by the California Retail Food Code. Ott said the city has received both positive and negative feedback in regard to the ban. As people become used to the ordinance, the feedback has been increasingly positive, he said. Once the ban is completely phased in, he said the City Council has the option of revisiting it and possibly making changes. “We will give it six months and see how it is going,” Ott said.

Public’s help needed to identify “Chubby Bandit’ BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Authorities are seeking the public’s help in identifying the “Chubby Bandit’’ who robbed four North County banks in one week and attempted to rob a fifth. The “Chubby Bandit’’ first struck on Oct. 9, holding up a US Bank branch in Poway, according to the FBI. He then robbed a Chase Bank branch in Carlsbad on Oct. 11 before attempting to rob another Chase Bank branch in Solana Beach on Oct. 13. On Monday, the same man robbed a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Encinitas and on Tuesday, a US Bank branch in Carlsbad. In all the robberies, the bandit used a demand note and said he had a gun, authorities said. The ``Chubby Bandit’’ is described as white, 25-35 years old, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 9 and 180-200 pounds. Anyone with information about the robber was asked to call the FBI at (858) 565-1255.

MAILER continued from page 4 “It was a prudent, well thought-out financial move to save the city money and increase our investment return on the sanitation fund at the same time,” Ott said. In response to the city’s litigation costs, which the mailer showed jumping from $10,761 to $552,477 since 2008, Ott said, “One year you may have litigation but another you may not.” He said much of that increase can be attributed to one particularly expensive case, in which the city was sued under the claim that sewer lines were leaking and causing inundation. The city won the case and Ott said that the city has not only received about $30,000 reimbursed but it saved itself from having to pay more than $1.2 million in property damages and the other side’s legal fees. In Campbell’s memo, he also called inaccurate the mailer’s claim that there have been budget deficits in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. He said Solana Beach has “weathered the stormy recession” and is “the envy of most small cities.” He said in 2009 and 2010 the city did budget for a deficit to prevent cutting back services, but in every other year from 2003 to 2011 the city operated under a budget surplus.

DESIGN continued from page 5 chitects and neighboring property owners prior to the DRB’s review of projects,” according to a recent report. Implementing the CPP ordinance was a unanimous decision for the council, as was incorporating a few modifications that the DRB suggested during that trial period, which includes having story poles erected before the CPP and expanding the 500 square feet requirement to also apply to commercial developments, roof decks and one-story additions. The ordinance was also rewritten to require notifying neighbors at least 14 days prior to the CPP meeting, and within two weeks following the meeting, the project architects must provide written

response to any concerns raised and explain how plans would be modified as a result of those concerns. That information shall be sent to all CPP meeting attendees and included in the report to be sent to the city. Councilman Don Mosier said this time requirement is a great addition to the ordinance because there were several projects in his neighborhood in which he didn’t get a notice in time for the hearing with the architect. He also said the CPP has prevented architects from “game playing,” that consists of “coming in on the first round knowing they had a plan that was unacceptable.” Such tactics have been used like a high offer, starting bigger than accepted to try to get more passed in the end. “Some of that has disappeared,” he said.

continued from page 5 however, the investigation is ongoing. “My guess is these shops have items that are resold easily,” said Casey. “They may be selling them on Craigslist or Ebay or have a buyer lined up.” Le said she is thinking of moving when her lease is

up, because the cost of starting anew may outweigh the possibility that she could once again become the victim of a robbery. “I want to stay in Del Mar, but I just want it to be safer,” she said. If you have information regarding this or another robbery, call the Encinitas Sheriff’s Department at (760) 966-3527.

Dr. Brent Eastman ready to tackle leadership role for the American College of Surgeons BY KATHY DAY Count on Dr. Brent Eastman to put his own mark on each challenge he tackles. The soon-to-be-retired chief medical officer and corporate senior vice president of Scripps Health recently stepped into the top leadership spot of the American College of Surgeons, which will mark its centennial under his guidance. When he gave his presidential address at the very formal convocation in Sep- Dr. Brent Eastman tember – “full of pomp and circumstance” — he said he did three things never done before. The audience consisted of 1,377 new fellows who, according to the ACS website, qualify for membership based on “the surgeon’s education and training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct (which) have passed a rigorous evaluation.” While preparing for his presentation, Eastman surveyed all of the new fellows so he could tell them who they are. What he learned via a SurveyMonkey poll is that average age of the fellows was 41, they had been practicing for four years or more, 300 were women and 232 new international fellows represented 49 countries; the rest are residents of the U.S. and Canada. And when he started his speech titled “The Next Hundred Years,” the internationally- recognized trauma surgeon asked them to take a minute and introduce themselves to their colleagues to their right and left. The leaders of the organization seated behind him were taken by surprise as murmurs of introduction took over the room, but he had a point to make. “One of the two of you may be president of the American College of Surgeons in about 31 years – or it might be you,” he said last week as he talked about his presentation. The third thing was to have a friend, Father Rick Frechette, who runs an orphanage in Haiti, deliver the invo-

cation that had traditionally been done by a surgeon. Eastman and his wife, Sarita, had known Frechette and supported his orphanage and pediatric hospital for years, and also saw him when Freschette led a team from Scripps and others from the American College of Surgeons to care for victims of the 2010 earthquake. Part of Eastman’s message to the audience was about “collective intelligence,” noting that a key part of harnessing the power of people to solve a problem as a group involves emotional intelligence, which has a high correlation with women. He used the discussion to emphasize that the key to “having a successful team, in and out of the operating room, isn’t just about having smart people – it’s about having people who work well together.” Eastman has built his career on that philosophy and has been surrounded by successful women, including his wife, a well known developmental behavioral pediatrician and an author. Her first book was about her mother, Anita Figueredo – one of San Diego’s first female surgeons and her husband’s first partner – and, more recently, she wrote “Good Company,” a history of Scripps Health. They met while responding to a “code blue” while he was on assignment at the Veterans Administration Hospital in San Francisco during his fourth year at the University of California at San Francisco, where she was also a medical student. Three weeks later they were engaged. They came to San Diego to cover Sarita’s parents’ practice – her father was a pediatrician – while they went on a sabbatical and stayed, taking jobs at Scripps. As he learned more about trauma surgery and the medical system, he became more involved in finding ways to improve both. In 1984, he was a co-founder of the countywide trauma system that today is regarded as a model for the country and has advised communities around the world about setting up their own systems. And he has played a significant role in leading the reorganization of Scripps Health into a unified system aimed at providing better patient care throughout the county. “Scripps Health has been the platform for all of my surgical endeavors, both clinically since 1972 and as chief medical officer since 1996,” he noted in an e-mail. “Scripps has

fully supported me, from my role in the founding of the San Diego Trauma System in 1984 to my current position as President of the American College of Surgeons.” A native of Wyoming who had rarely left the state until he headed for medical school in 1962, he said he had known from an early age that he wanted to be a physician. When he was 8, he had recurring abdominal pain which led to him having his appendix removed. When it turned out to be “normal,” the doctor told his parents to take him to a psychiatrist. But when his family doctor referred him to a surgeon in Utah, they found a blockage in his kidney. The surgeons who operated on him “saved my childhood” and inspired him to become a doctor, he said. But it was a horrendous train crash – the Great Evanston Train Wreck of 1951 – that set him on the path to be a trauma surgeon. A train filled with physicians and their wives returning from an American College of Surgeons meeting in San Francisco plowed into the back of another train, derailing cars of both trains and killing a number of passengers. As he stood by watching with his father, a locomotive engineer with Union Pacific, many of those surgeons who were uninjured or had minor injuries managed their way out of the wreckage to come to the aid of others. Many, Eastman noted, applied techniques they had just learned during the medical conference they had attended. Today, Eastman is focused on his work over the next 12 months as president of a society he’s been associated with since 1976 when he became a fellow. His predecessor said the chairman is the force of the college; the president is the face. And that face will be seen around the world a lot in the year to come. He’s already been to Edinburgh, Scotland, where he met with his counterparts in the Royal College of Surgeons and observed a liver transplant, and to London, where he was a guest of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. With a bag always packed and ready to go, he left on Oct. 18 for Ottawa, Canada, and his future itinerary includes the Philippines, Mexico, Greece, Egypt, New Zealand, Japan and Brazil. Sarita travels with him, he said, and he hopes she’ll be writing “The Year of the President.”

Local artist’s work part of ‘Pop Culture’ exhibit at renown Malibu museum BY KAREN BILLING Local artist Jean Wells specializes in the fun, the playful, and the larger-than-life. Those needing proof need look no further than the giant Hershey’s kiss in her living room. It’s 18 feet tall, sitting comfortably between the living room couch and the kitchen table. A fun secret: It smells like chocolate inside. “My husband is so flexible,” Wells said. “He told me ‘All I need is a sofa.’” Wells’ life-size, pop-infused mosaics can be found all over her home, returned from showings or resting before going off for another. Right inside her doorway is her “Urban Fruit Tree,” 16 feet tall and 11 feet wide, with branches topped by items such as hamburgers, Coke bottles and Hershey’s kisses, back home from stints in Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last year. “I’m having a really good time. I feel very, very lucky,” said Wells. “It’s still a surprise to me, I pinch myself every day…What I like the most is people’s response to it, they tell me my work makes them happy and makes them laugh.” Everything about her art is whimsical, even down to the fact that her sculptures are delivered and art materials picked up in a remade Good Humor ice cream truck. What could be happier than

Local artist Jean Wells’ hot dog is currently on display in the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art’s “Pop Culture” exhibit. She is seen here with fellow artist Robert Townsend pretending to take a bite. an ice cream truck? Currently, Wells’ big, glittering hot dog is part of the “Pop Culture” exhibit at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art on the Pepperdine University campus in Malibu. Wells was excited to share the room with works of art by artists she respects, such as James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann and her “hero” Andy Warhol. She is only one of three living artists featured in the exhibit that runs through Dec. 2. Her work is also currently on display in galleries in Paris, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Laguna Beach. Locally, she has works in the San Diego Air and Space Museum; the Oceanside Musuem of Art; 17 pieces in the Kinsella Library in La Jolla; and

one special fish in the R. Roger Rowe School Library in Rancho Santa Fe. Recently, her Chanel bottle was snatched up by the Chanel headquarters in New York City. “I am influenced by pop culture and I enjoy making iconic sculptures of things that are not seen as that important and make them important by making them big and sparkly,” Wells said. The Seattle native was born into an artistic family—she is a third generation mosaic artist. “We did everything in our family,” she said of their explorations in painting and sculpture. “When I went to kindergarten I thought everyone was an artist. We were always doing art.” As a teenager, she served as an

apprentice to her father as he worked on the St. Demetrios Greek Church in Seattle, a largescale Byzantine-style mosaic. Her artist table was the family pool table and her father handed her squares to cut, only allowing her to do background pieces. Wells studied graphic design in college and worked in advertising while raising her two children, but never let go of her love of creating. Once her children left home, she decided to devote more time to sculpture and mosaics and had her first solo show in 2007. Her mosaic pieces are characterized by sparkle and shine, everything from hamburgers to six-foottall women in bathing suits gets the twinkle treatment. “I was always attracted to sparkle,” said Wells, noting she loves to infuse her art and her life with big, bright colors and healthy doses of “pizzaz.” It can take six months to a year to complete one of her largescale pieces, but she usually has more than one project going on her studio, located in a separate space outside her home — roll-up doors allowing for transport of her larger than life pieces. She is in her studio every day, “I love to work,” she says. Glass is stored in shelves organized in a rainbow of color. She hand-cuts the glass and will apply it to a polyurethane foam. A naked

Jean Wells’ bathing beauties foam formed into a yo-yo sits on her table ready to be transformed, on another sits a fish that is in for a scale repair. A big future project is parked right outside her roll-up doors: A small plane. The plane is part of a commissioned project from Las Vegas for a “21st Century Noah’s Ark.” The plane will serve as the arc and animals will be created twoby-two with the largest being giraffe heads poking out of the cockpit all the way down to tiny, glittery ants. “There’s never a lull,” said Wells. “It’s always go, go, go.” To learn more about the “Pop Culture” exhibit at the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art, visit arts. pepperdine.edu/museum. For more on Wells, visit wellsart.com

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre to present Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ Nov. 8-17 Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre will present William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” guest directed by Jason Maddy, from Nov. 8 –Nov. 17. This is a story of the King of Navarre, who has sworn three friendly lords and a flamboyant Spaniard to an oath of three years to study with little food and forsake the company of women, with the aim “to know which else we should not know.” All is set for the journey, until the princess of France and her entourage of landed ladies arrive on embassy to reclaim the Aquitaine for the king, her father. The game is afoot! It is a battle of wits and wills! Who will win — the honor or the heart? Mix in a crew of local villagers straight out of Commedia Del Arte to stir up the plot and you have one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. The community is invited to attend. The shows will take place at the Canyon Crest Black Box Theater at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego. Show times are at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8-10 and Nov. 16-17. On Thursday, Nov. 15, the show time is 4 p.m. Cost is $15 for adults and $8 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html Envision Theatre is funded by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, a parent-led 501.c.3 organization that provides fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creates an environment where students can thrive.

RACE continued from page 4 able spaces.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sense is that the city is generally doing very well. There are certain areas we have to keep the spotlight on, how we spend, how we budget, the choices we make from a fiscal standpoint. By and large, the policy choices have been very good,â&#x20AC;? he said. Daniel Powell Five years after graduating from USC with a business degree, Powell launched his own real estate sales and leasing firm, focusing on office, retail and industrial property, which he still runs. He also volunteers with the Challenged Athletes Foundation, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce. Reforming the way the city does business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and interacts with its customers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be one of his priorities if elected, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to see city government be more like an Apple store or a Starbucks, and less like the Department of Motor Vehicles,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that sometimes the people that actually pay the bills are neglected and frankly almost treated as second class citizens, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. Two of his business tenants have come to him, complaining that months after contacting the city, they still had not received the sign permits they requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want my tenants to come and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, that was a pleasant experienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

(dealing with the city),â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened once. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned property in Solana Beach since 1996, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably had maybe 100 tenants.â&#x20AC;? Powell said the city should get back to basics such as maintaining roads, public safety and sanitation, and he criticized the council for putting a business license tax on the ballot, which voters rejected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been decisions made by this current council that I fundamentally disagree with and that is why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lesa Heebner Heebner, who has run her own kitchen design and culinary business and written two cookbooks, was first elected to the council in 2004, and she ran unopposed for her second term in 2008. She decided to run again, she said, because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more work to do.â&#x20AC;? Among the work still pending, she said, is a planned update of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general plan, or blueprint for development; completion of the Highway 101 renovation, for which she worked to secure funding through a federal loan program designed to stimulate economic growth; and a joint effort with the North County Transit District to redevelop the land around the Solana Beach train station. Although some of her opponents have criticized both the cost and the scope of the Highway 101 renovations, which includes widening sidewalks, adding trees and landscaping and other amenities, as well as

adding parking and improving storm water drainage, Heebner defended the project as a needed, fiscally-sound endeavor. While the renovation project is intended to draw visitors to the 101 corridor and stimulate economic activity once it is completed, Heebner said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already paying dividends. One property along the corridor that had been purchased for $3 million and remained undeveloped has recently sold for $8 million, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say doing the 101 is already paying off for our community,â&#x20AC;? she said. According to Heebner, construction of the 101 project will cost $7 million, plus $564,000 for design and engineering. The city will pay for the work with $5.5 million in bonds, along with some $2 million from reserves earmarked for such projects, Heebner said. The total tally for the project, including interest on the bonds, is about $14.5 million. Challenger Paul Frankel said the project will cost more than $18 million including interest and design costs, bringing it to about $15 million when a federal interest subsidy is factored in. (He also questioned whether the subsidy money could be allocated to other projects.) Heebner also took issue with a mailer sent out by her opponents, which she said contained untrue information about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have is-

North County Property Group

sues to run on so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making up false claims,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our city is in absolutely fine financial state. We are healthy.â&#x20AC;? Vickie Driver Driver, a research scientist and co-founder of a Sorrento Valley biotech company, has volunteered with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety commission and its emergency response team. High on her list of priorities is improving traffic circulation and road safety in the city, around schools such as Skyline Elementary and Earl Warren Middle School, and for pedestrians and bicyclists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear from everybody that traffic is terrible trying to get in and out of the neighborhood, twice a day, every day,â&#x20AC;? during school drop-off and pickup times, she said. Traffic safety is a big issue for kids and parents, Driver said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make Solana Beach a biking and walking friendly city and trying to get away from cars.â&#x20AC;? Another issue, she said, is communication between the city and its constituents. She said business owners along Highway 101 have complained that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t informed when construction was about to begin on the major street renovation project, which was detrimental to their business. Either the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the word out properly, or the business owners didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention, she said. But in any case, â&#x20AC;&#x153;somehow the communications gap needs to be bridged.â&#x20AC;? If elected, Driver prom-

ised to base her decisions on fact, rather than emotion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think my scientific background brings an analytical point of view to any of the issues that might arise,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been clear from the beginning of the campaign that Heebner, Zito and Zahn are running together, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;more or lessâ&#x20AC;? means that she, Powell and Frankel are on the same side. Although the race is nonpartisan, she said she is a Democrat, Frankel is a Republican and Powell is an independent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still see eye to eye on most of the topics we discuss. I think that would bring healthy discourse to the City Council,â&#x20AC;? she said. David Zito A software architect with Hewlett Packard, Zito has lived in Solana Beach for 21 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am running because I have a 20-year history of volunteering in the community in many different ways,â&#x20AC;? he said. Among his past involvement in civic affairs was authoring a ballot proposition, approved by voters, that requires a public vote for any zoning or general plan change that increases density. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;lengthy list of endorsementsâ&#x20AC;? testifies to his involvement in the community, he said. While he, Zahn and Heebner are â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a slate,â&#x20AC;? he said the three candidates do have the same vision: â&#x20AC;&#x153;(we) believe Solana Beach is best as a small, beautiful, charming coastal

community.â&#x20AC;? In contrast, he said, their opponents, keep talking about reducing restrictions on development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That seems like a biggrowth messageâ&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my vision for Solana Beach.â&#x20AC;? Among the most important issues facing the city is the pending general plan update, and making people understand the city is in good financial shape. The city also must work to complete a land-use plan with the California Coastal Commission, so that residents and businesses wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to get approval from both the city and the commission when they want to do work on their property. Once the plan is approved, he said, only properties along the beach bluff will still need separate approval from the commission. He supports the 101 renovation as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an excellent use of funds,â&#x20AC;? although conceding that construction is causing disruptions for local businesses. He compared the renovation to another major project, the lowering of the railroad tracks below Lomas Santa Fe, which also created traffic headaches, but was seen as a success once it was completed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light at the end of the tunnel,â&#x20AC;? Zito said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need to get through the pain of doing it.â&#x20AC;? Paul Frankel Frankel, co-owner of a painting and floor-coating company, has coached and

DANON continued from page 3 Transparency and Accountability i. In order to restore public confidence and trust, I have called for the creation of a regional Ethics Commission to hold elected officials accountable. Part of this Ethics Commission would be a Whistleblowers Unit for the County’s 16,000 employees to report waste fraud and abuse without the fear of retaliation. I’ve also proposed establishing a permanent gift ban for County Supervisors from individuals and organizations that receive taxpayer dollars from the County. This will assist in avoiding conflicts-of-interest and ensure that tax dollars are allocated appropriately. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? We must reform County government. With nearly one-in-10 San Diegans out of work, there is a lot of work to be done to help grow our local economy and promote job-growth. We must promote a better business environment so that

jobs can be created. This is my number-one priority. I’m proud to earn the individual endorsements of Mark Cafferty, president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, Joe Panetta, president and CEO of BIOCOM, and Duane Roth, president and CEO of CONNECT, and many other business leaders throughout the region. I will work to make the Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) more efficient and effective so businesses do not have to wait five to seven years to attain the necessary permits. We need to encourage local businesses to expand or build new facilities and new businesses to move or start here rather than deterring growth by making the bureaucratic process exceedingly strenuous, protracted and expensive. I will work with our regional Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development agencies, high-tech, biotech, and defense trade associations and other organizations to retain and recruit businesses to our region. In cooperation with biotechnology companies, non-profits and educational institutions, we can spur job

growth by preparing our students for the clean technology industry. I will also form an official Economic, Business and Trade Taskforce at the County to assist in these efforts. Unlike my opponent, Solana Beach Councilmember Dave Roberts, who voted 21 times to create or increase 237 taxes and fees, I oppose new taxes and fees. The County is in need of a culture revolution. We need to focus on making policies more businessfriendly and encouraging economic growth. Helping the private sector create jobs and reducing poverty will be my primary focus.

ROBERTS continued from page 3 perienced bipartisan leader, I am prepared for the job of managing a county government with a $5 billion budget and 15,000 employees. An equally important issue facing the district, and the region, is protecting our homes and businesses from fire. This is one of my top priorities. I am endorsed the City of San Diego Firefighters and their retired Fire Chief for good reason. They know that I will work hard to provide the resources to fight the huge fires that rage across San Diego County.

I will find ways to aggressively expand fire service and cut management overhead to increase levels of service. We must also protect our homes and communities from rampant over-development and poor planning. Cramming more and more strip malls and homes and people into our neighborhoods and open space is a recipe for poor community planning. For instance, an oversized project such as the proposed One Paseo project in Carmel Valley/Del Mar Heights and the Capitol Power plant next to a residential neighborhood in University City is not appropriate planning. In my view, buying a home in an area where zoning is clear to the buyer, is a contract with the city. When a resident is informed of local zoning when they buy a home, but elected officials arbitrarily increase that zoning tenfold, we have a right to object. In fact, we must. It is not appropriate planning. And it is breaking a promise to the residents. That is wrong. My opponent is backed by large developers and downtown special interests who want full build-out across the county, including hundreds of thousands of homes, strip malls and other high impacts to our services, including traffic on our free-

ways and roads. He is taking their campaign donations and running a partisan race. He does not have a history of working across political party lines on real solutions, like I do. 2.) Do you have any suggestions as to how the biggest issue in your answer for #1 should be addressed by the board? I will work collaboratively with other members of the County Board of Supervisors to leverage my proven local, state and federal public sector and private industry (Fortune 500 and small business C.E.O.) experience to promote a prosperous environment within San Diego County for job creation by: 1. Preserving the county’s strong financial and capital management to maintain a AAA Bond Rating. 2. Creating a County Office of Small Business Development to grow/incentivize small businesses and job creation. 3. Incentivizing Clean Technology Growth with a complete review of clean tech regulations and land use ordinances. 4. Working with the region’s cities to entice corporate offices to move to San Diego County. 5. Cutting county red tape, dramatically shorten the permit process, hire plan checkers to move community projects forward for job growth, and improve planning and land use.

6. Continuing to streamline land use regulations and cut red tape that dampen our economy. 7. Growing and promoting the PACE (Publicly Acquired Clean Energy) energy efficiency financing program to harness our region’s efforts to expand solar usage for both residential and commercial properties to create jobs and cut our dependence on fossil fuels. 8. Establishing a County Business Liaison Committee to promote direct dialogue with corporations, small businesses, chambers of commerce. 9. Cutting debt and spend cash only for public works projects to create jobs. 10. In partnership with local cities, seeking federal and state grants for joint road, water, infrastructure projects. Finally, because San Diego County is one of the most popular tourist and convention destinations in the world, I will support our tourism promotion and convention industry and our arts and tourism industries to serve as a magnet for travelers and spending. Cultural visitors spend nearly twice what other visitors do on meals, transportation, hotels and retail, and the non-profit arts industry sustains more than 20,000 full-time equivalent jobs and delivers $70 million in tax revenues, not counting huge local spending.

TP Midget Falcons QB Tyler Lytle selected to play in 2013 Junior Academic All-American Game JuniorRank recently announced that Tyler Lytle, quarterback for the Torrey Pines Midget Falcons, will be participating in its 2013 Junior Academic All-American Game on Jan. 4 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. JuniorRank scouts looked all over the country for the best young talent and Tyle was selected due to his success on and off the field. Tyler will be showcasing his talents along with the very top junior high school student athletes around the country. This honor is distinctive because no other youth game in the country has an academic and character related requirement for All-American selection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Junior Academic All-American Game is about much more than being able to play football at a high level, these guys are the best in the country at their age and positions but, more importantly, they are the best in the classroom and bright lights in their community. When football is all done some day and that day comes for everybody that plays, those additional character traits and achievements that we require for participation are the things that will remain well after the sport and the things that we believe, truly matter,â&#x20AC;? says JuniorRank CEO Shaon Berry. Each Junior All-American game, one for ages 14 and under and one for ages 13 and under, will be an East vs. West format coached by former NFL coaches and players. JuniorRank believes these Academic All-Americans have the talent and character it takes to be the next class of top recruits. The 2013 rosters are requested by and submitted to colleges and universities around the country and go directly to renowned recruiting analyst Tom Lemming. Listed by Newsweek magazine as one of the five most influential people in all of college football, Lemming is the host of JuniorRankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Proving Ground high school combine and high school All-American game, the Semper Fidelis All-American

Bowl. Several Junior AllAmericans from the past two years have already been added to college watch lists for future recruiting, and some have already received scholarship offers. JuniorRank 2013 Junior All-Americans and their families will be welcomed to California with a festive family atmo-

Tyler Lytle

sphere, hosted by the Anaheim Hilton Hotel. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will be during the same time as our Semper Fidelis AllAmerican Bowl, which features the top high school football seniors in the country. The athletes will be able to interact with the All-Americans and see where they can possibly be in four-five years.

Since launching in May 2007, The Miracle League of San Diego provides children with special needs the chance to play organized baseball. “This year our new teams from our recently opened Coronado Field will also join our North County teams, making it an especially great day.” “We would also like to thank our most significant community partner, the San Diego Padres,” says Engel. “Each season they send the San Diego Friar and Pad Squad to cheer on our athletes on Opening Day, they host Miracle Leaguers at a Padres game and then on Celebrity Pitcher Day they provide pitchers for our Celebrity Pitcher Day.” Engel Family Field is located at 1628 Lomas Santa Fe Drive at the northeast corner of Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Highland Drive.

Fear of change has nothing to do with opposition to Prop J To impute a deep psychological flaw, “fear of change,” as the cause for opposition to Prop J is presumptuous on two counts: First it presumes this motive is broadly present among the majority of Del Mar’s denizens; and, second, it presumes that those in favor are somehow fearless and, thus, superior. I know one Del Mar resident who underwent a sex change operation in 2003. He/she is opposed to Prop J. I know another who has had four careers in as many decades—also opposed to Prop J. I know a mercenary who moved to Del Mar from South Africa: opposed to Prop J. Finally, there are dozens of men and women who are on their second or even third spouse—all of whom, nonetheless, oppose Prop J. Fear of change has nothing to do with opposition to Prop J. Just as support of Prop J has nothing to do with courage—the good doctor’s implied thesis. Opposition to Prop J stems from a careful look beneath the specious arguments of those who would foist its changes upon this community. We are told that traffic engineers “studied” the issues and reported that the current plan will improve efficiency. In the same breath, we are told that if this turns out not to be the case a mitigation effort will be launched and funded with $100,000. I wonder what mitigation can be accomplished for $100,000 — paid crosswalk supervisors? We are told to look at Bird Rock and see how well it works there. I did so: Bird Rock has nowhere near the bicycle traffic Del Mar does on weekends. Even so, cyclists are squeezed into the roundabouts with circling cars, because the bicycle lane ends repeatedly at the roundabouts. Moreover, our revered traffic engineers did not study or model their proposal for peak summer weekends. The simple fact is this: if the current plan is implemented, the speed of automobile travel through downtown will be dictated by the slowest cyclist on the road. Another 10 years, and I plan to be that cyclist. And I plan to ride slowly. As an emergency physician for nearly two decades at Scripps Encinitas, I had occasion to witness many auto versus bicycle accidents. Guess who wins? And when the cyclists and autos collide—as they surely will with this new plan—how will paramedics get to the injured; how will the hoped-for customers travel to the hoped-for burgeoning businesses around the wreckage? I said at one of our town’s input meetings — one the good doctor referenced in his blanket diagnosis — the first cyclist to die should be on the conscience of the planners: they did not take peak bike traffic into account; they did not compare apples to apples in their option assessments; they did not reason sensibly as they should have nor take the input from the right professionals. Rather they listened to “traffic engineers” who gave them not answers, but rather justifications for preconceived ideas. Creating a vibrant business community is a non-unique problem, one solved already by cities large (e.g., Singapore) and small (e.g. Napa). Creating traffic snarls and road hazards are not solutions. Instead, creating efficient throughput and plentiful parking; strongly incentivizing commercial property owners to upgrade; and establishing a commercial mileau—a shop and look environment—are the tried and true means our bungling planners should have resorted to. Fear of change has nothing to do with opposition to Prop J. Love of safety and common sense are motivating the quiet but persistent majority. Steve Bierman MD Del Mar

Do your homework on Prop J As a resident of Del Mar with businesses in Del Mar, I believe Prop J is extremely important for the following reasons: Important elements in designing the L’Auberge were vision, a vision of the completed resort, financial feasibility as an investment, and community benefits. Most will agree, the vision was realized, the investment is sound and the multiple community benefits will continue forever. The benefits include over $1 million dollars in room taxes and another million plus in property and sales taxes annually for residential services. The vision for Del Mar is the 1975 Community Plan, designed to achieve a pedestrian friendly, vibrant downtown as the economic base, social and cultural center of the village. A beautifully landscaped village with wider tree lined sidewalks, outside dining, unique shops and businesses to better serve our residents, similar in charm to the small villages of Europe. The second goal is to minimize the impact of the automobiles on Del Mar and the third goal to preserve the residential small town atmosphere as a village. Prop J provides the tools to finally achieve our 1975 community plan goals. A vital and necessary element of Prop J is the roundabouts to minimize the impact of the automobiles on our village. For a walkable community, the residents and pedestrians have to be favored over the automobile. The quiet, charming, small town atmosphere we all desire can never be achieved with a four lane raceway taking precedence over the pedestrian. The alternative to Prop J is a continuation of what has happened in Del Mar over

the past 25 years; from 15th street south to city hall the values have declined, businesses are struggling, and many buildings are old an unattractive. The village is in a state of decay. Del Mar’s outdated, archaic building codes make it economically infeasible to invest in upgrades or new business to better serve residents and visitors. As such, without change the deterioration of our village will continue. We need to invest in our community to stop the continued decay over the next 25 years. As I studied Prop J, I realized that little to none of our Community Plan goals can be realized when instead of favoring residents and a small town walkable village atmosphere, we continue with Camino Del Mar as a four lane speedway. Prop J provides the solution to achieve our 1975 Community Plan goals. I, too, questioned the reduction to two lanes and the roundabouts, however, instead of accepting misinformation and listening to the nay sayers who oppose everything, I spent two days in Bird Rock to talk to dozens of residents and businesses. To hear what they had to say, see this letter online at www.delmartimes.net (under opinion/letters). What I found out by spending two days at a coffee shop talking to residents and businesses in Bird Rock is exactly opposite to the false information provided by the nay sayers who fear change. Prop J is too important to our community over the next 30 years not to do your homework — I urge you to spend a day in Bird Rock talking to residents and businesses before you make your decision on Prop J. Jim Watkins

Why Proposition J is good for Del Mar I notice a number of my friends in the city have signs opposing the Revitalization of Del Mar Proposition. I understand the long-term tradition of opposing any suggestion to improving the downtown and traffic situation. However, in this instance, I believe the naysayers are misguided. I hear three main concerns regarding the proposition: 1. The plan provides for roundabouts that are accessed by single lanes. The concern being that traffic congestion will increase. 2. What access will emergency vehicles have in the area 3. Developers will destroy the ambience of the downtown area with the new parameters. These three concerns can be relieved by reviewing the Village Specific Plan. More specifically: 1. The roundabouts actually improve the flow of traffic by 78 percent. This not only means less traffic congestion, but provides continuous movement at a slower and safer speed. The plan calls for Camino Del Mar to expand to two lanes as it approaches 15th Street. 2. As one can see from the report, emergency vehicles will have no problem with the new plan due to the fact that there is a generous 9-foot “pull over” area for access. This will improve response times from what we have experienced in the past. 3. There are adequate safeguards in place to monitor downtown development. Anyone who has attempted to build in Del Mar knows that the process is a lengthy one and will require Design Board approval of any view issues. The plan was laid out by professionals with extensive input from citizens. It was approved unanimously by the counsel. Don’t let false accusations determine your vote without getting the facts. I encourage you to go to the City of Del Mar web site (http://www.delmar.ca.us) and see for yourself. I think you will find that this is a plan whose time has come. Scott Linton Del Mar

Proposed VSP document not right for DM The VSP (Prop J) was created through the hard work of many. It has been a great academic exercise with public participation, and many of its ideas are good ideas that should be implemented in the future. I stand committed to downtown revitalization and worked on a similar plan in the Form Based Code Committee, attended many neighborhood meetings on the VSP, and met one-on-one with city staff. I worked in every way to make the VSP as “good as it could be.” After re-reading the entire VSP document, I have concluded that the VSP has fallen short of its potential and my expectations. Del Mar does not have the luxury of a separation between the commercial and residential properties, making it imperative that we develop a downtown that is compatible with and sensitive to neighboring residential activities. The VSP is an extremely complex document that will benefit commercial property owners but will have an enormous, lasting and negative impact on our residential community and quality of life. Many of the promises of the VSP are wishful thinking — predicated on obtaining grants or hoping the VSP incentives entice developers — they are only “possibilities” under the VSP. The only guarantee in the VSP is larger, more intense development. Some of the negative impacts are the unintended consequences of well intentioned planning. Other negatives result from the lack of a defined sequencing of development – e.g. there is no requirement that traffic and parking (roundabouts, garages) be dealt with prior to larger, commercial development under the VSP. The VSP mentions paid parking downtown as a source of funding for the garage – ideas like this have not been thoroughly vetted – what will it mean to businesses, and to the residential neighborhoods? There may be a specific plan in our future, but this document is not right for Del Mar, and I urge everyone to join me in voting “No on J.” Rick Ehrenfeld

Where are the protesters today? Four years ago, at the corner of Del Mar Heights and El Camino Real, Carmel Valley residents were greeted on the weekends by upwards of 20 individuals with signs protesting the “illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” claiming that President Bush was a war criminal for this action, and urging the closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility. Who were these individuals and why are they not protesting today over President Obama’s continued “illegal” war in Afghanistan and operations at Guantanamo Bay? Where is the passion that was so clearly evidenced four years ago, or was there another agenda at play? Trey Mitchell Carmel Valley

Five reasons to oppose the Del Mar school bond BY MARSHA SUTTON Proposition CC, a $ 7 6 . 8 million Marsha Sutton General Obligation bond measure sponsored by the Del Mar Union School District, asks homeowners on Nov. 6 to approve taxing themselves $8.44 per $100,000 of property value annually. According to the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, the DMUSD proposes to issue the bond in five phases – in 2013, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033. The total debt service is expected to be paid off in 2058. It’s costing the DMUSD about $13,140, according to the Registrar of Voters, to place Proposition CC on the November ballot. Under the terms of a GO bond, the money can only be used for capital improvements and facilities needs. The measure requires 55 percent approval to pass. Although there are more, here are five reasons to oppose this bond. 1. The district openly admits its intent to use General Obligation bond money to offset general fund expenditures, in violation of the conditions of a GO bond. The San Diego County Taxpayers Association opposes Proposition CC, noting this reason in its key findings: “District has stated intent to use bond to offset General Fund expenditures.” In a letter to the editor published in this newspaper on Sept. 20, 2012, Suzanne Hall, co-chair of the Yes on CC campaign, said, “As Sacramento continues to turn down the tap on education funding, the DMUSD finds itself in the same hole than many other districts have already succumbed to: find an alternate source of funding or make cuts that impact the classroom.” Hall also wrote, “Though the funds from our bonds cannot and will not be directly applied to the salaries of the district staff, the money can take pressure off the general fund that pays for those classroom expenses.” In a story in the Oct. 11 issue of this newspaper, Hall said the driving force behind the bond is that state funding has been on a consistent decline for several years. “Another key component on the General Obligation bond,” DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg

wrote in an email in August, “is to relieve/insulate the general fund of the school district.” At the Sept. 19 school board meeting, McClurg, in a presentation to trustees on the initiative, again said the bond money could offset general fund expenses. As an example, she referenced $600,000 spent on school fencing that she said could have been funded by the bond but instead came out of the general fund. It’s hard to decide whether to give the district credit for honesty (that they openly acknowledge an intent to use bond money to bolster the general fund) or condemnation for dishonesty (that doing this is illegal). 2. Programs funded by a GO bond should be for immediate, critical facilities needs. A General Obligation bond is not a wish-list for projects that would be nice to have, such as allocating $6 million for a special education preschool as the DMUSD plan states. It’s also not for undefined problems that might happen in the future. According to district figures, enrollment as of June 2012 was 4,401 and in September was 4,302 – 100 fewer students. Demographic studies show this trend continuing for a number of years. There is no shortage of seats in the district, which is currently experiencing declining enrollment. Yet DMUSD board president Scott Wooden said in an interview in August that the bond money can help build a school in Pacific Highlands Ranch when a likely need is projected in 2018 to 2020. “It’s going to be a long time before the state starts funding new schools again, and we’ll have to start looking at that in five to seven years,” he said. Wooden also said some bond money would be set aside for improvements to newer schools “as they age over the next 20 to 30 years” – like Ocean Air which he said will eventually need a new roof. Ocean Air opened in 2007. “When you look at the schools that are newer today, you will need to maintain those schools,” he said. At the school district’s board meeting on Sept. 19, McClurg said of the bond money: •The bond “will allow for money to do work longrange.” •It is “impossible to say what the needs will be 15 to

PAGE 25

20 years from now.” •“A school [may not be] ready for work now but will be in 10 to 20 years.” In its overall summary, the SDCTA offered this additional objection: “The district is proposing to use bond funds paid over the next four decades to support ongoing, short-term maintenance needs.” The SDCTA noted that Sacramento “recently allowed school districts to allocate deferred maintenance funds to the general fund.” As a result, Del Mar eliminated funding for deferred maintenance in Fiscal Year 2011 through FY 2013. A GO bond is not for possible future needs, items on a wish list, or regularly scheduled maintenance. Immediate, dire facilities needs and relief of existing overcrowding are acceptable uses. 3. Schools are in good shape. A Jan. 11, 2010 District Advisory Committee report commissioned by the DMUSD found the following: “The schools in the DMUSD vary in age, from 45 to 2 years old, and all are in good repair and fully functional.” With the exception of Carmel Del Mar, “all other schools are modern with no serious defects or deficiencies,” the DAC noted. 4. The district plans to use bond money to pay for technology with a short life span. “The district proposes using long-term bonds to pay for student devices that will only last three to five years,” objects the SDCTA. Other objections in the SDCTA review for Proposition CC include: •“The [district’s] presentation includes reference to General Fund relief resulting from ‘teaching devices’ and ‘student devices’ paid for from the bond.” • “The district plans to use bond funds to ‘purchase portable learning technology equipment.’” Many districts, including San Diego Unified, have been harshly criticized for using taxpayer bond money to purchase devices with a limited lifespan. Del Mar Union’s program to buy personal technology qualifies for legitimate criticism on this point. 5. The idea for the bond was slapped together at the last minute, with little longrange planning or due diligence. The DMUSD revealed

See BOND, page 30

Voting Yes on Props AA and CC the right thing to do for our community I will cast the first votes “Yes” on both Prop AA and CC. Why? Three reasons: 1. Both bonds are grounded in research and will fill very real short- and long-term infrastructure needs at our local K-12 schools. 2. Both bonds will ensure local control of the money and they will not be used for administrative costs or salaries. 3. Both bonds are conservatively structured, asking for much less than the maximum allowed by the State. The costs have purposefully been kept low by both school districts, with the ability to refinance at ratios not to exceed 4:1 over the estimated 25-year life of the bonds. Logical, right? Yes, but there is more: Voting yes on Prop AA and Prop CC is simply the right thing to do for our community. Thanks to developer fees, mello-roos, and State government funding, schools in the Carmel Valley/ Del Mar communities have graduated over 20 years of student generations from state-of-the-art facilities. All three of these funding resources designated for infrastructure are either reaching the end of their tenure, or have been cut completely. Passing a bond to ensure that future generations continue to enjoy state-of- the-art facilities and that current pressing structural needs can be met without taking money out of the general education fund is the best way that our community today can pay-it-forward. Altruism aside, if you are a home owner, you benefit from the security of knowing that your neighborhood schools are producing thoughtful students who are motivated to explore their individual abilities to the highest of standards. A basic prerequisite for a home buyer is that it is located in the boundaries of a good school district. Solid schools support and sustain home values, hands down. Let’s not make the decision to pass these bonds a political one. I am deeply concerned when I hear fellow Republicans stand on “principle” and speak out

against the bonds because they believe them to be a “tax” or because they believe the public school administrators are not trustworthy by nature and will misuse our money. Please – let’s keep the education of our children sacred. Let’s leave our political agendas home and support our communities by voting our conscience and volunteering our time and resources to our local schools via District, Foundation, or PTA activities. These are the checks and balances that our fore fathers envisioned. I feel so fortunate to have raised three children in the Del Mar and San Dieguito school districts. True to my advice, I have invested time alongside my children to ensure their public education experience was the best it could be. In both school districts I have taken a turn as PTA president, have supported their educational foundations, have served as site council representative, and currently am finishing up my term as a school board trustee of the Del Mar Union School District. My experience as a veteran volunteer and community leader will hopefully underscore and validate the passion with which I am writing in support of both Prop AA and Prop CC. Finally, I would like to say that I am not concerned about donations supporting the campaigns coming from consulting firms or businesses who consider themselves to be partners and/or friends of public education. Why not? Because someone needs to support the issues that will ensure the longevity of thriving public education in our community, and I thank those with deep pockets and a heart to do so. We should all be partners of public education in some way, shape or form. Supporting Prop AA and Prop CC affords us all the opportunity to support our children’s complete K-12 education. I look forward to seeing you at the polls! Comischell Bradley-Rodriguez

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Don’t be the next Poway — Vote No on Props EE, AA and CC Have you heard what happened in Poway with their $105 million school bond Thanks to their politicians, their $105 million bond will cost almost $1.1 billion to repay and the debt is being dumped on the children of today, as repayment will not even start for another 20 years. This is why I’m voting No on Props EE (Mira Costa College bond), Prop CC (Del Mar School bond) and Prop AA (the San Dieguito School bond). These bonds, by the most conservative estimates, will cost about $3 billion dollars to repay, but if the politicians follow the path of Poway, the could

cost 10 times more. Here is the worst part. What happened in Poway is not unique. Their controversial, immoral repayment schedule also exists in San Diego, Escondido and Oceanside. Further, there is no California law protecting the people from our politicians. In other words, if we authorize a bond, they could adopt the controversial repayment program that Poway adopted. Don’t be the next Poway. Vote No, No, No on Prop EE, Prop AA and Prop CC. Brian Brady Solana Beach

Prop J: The only hope for sensible traffic management The latest flyer from the anti-Prop-J crowd goes beyond simple misrepresentation. It claims that “Prop J will cause gridlock” that will put “residential streets under siege.” Perhaps they haven’t noticed that this is exactly what the status quo on Camino del Mar produces. Perhaps they also haven’t noticed that the only alternative to Prop. J on the ballot is, guess what, the status quo. In other words, every anti-J vote will help exacerbate the present gridlock and increase spillover traffic into residential neighborhoods. At this time, the only hope for sensible traffic management on CDM rests with Prop. J. John Kerridge Del Mar

Community appreciates generous support from Jimbo’s Sometimes, especially in the heat of an election, it is good to hear what is going right with a community. Jimbo’s of Del Mar has been consistently kind, generous and reliable in their support of local schools. My personal dealings with Jimbo’s while volunteering at my own children’s school have been professional and friendly for several years. They have been steadfast in their support of our Red Ribbon Week, Jogathon, and Mileage Club, in all sorts of economic times. One year I realized that Jimbo’s was supporting our Mileage Club during Red Ribbon Week, which meant, unknown to me, we had “double-dipped” with two donations on one single day! Feeling greedy, I called to apologize to the vice president of marketing. She only said, “We’re happy to support local schools.” Kate Takahashi, Carmel Del Mar parent, volunteer

Protect the quality of our local schools: Vote Yes on Prop AA As a resident of a community located within the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD), I consider myself fortunate to have excellent school options for my children. In order to give back to our outstanding San Dieguito schools, dozens of committed volunteers each year work on behalf of the La Costa Canyon High School Foundation (LCCHS) supporting LCCHS. My involvement with the foundation has provided an upclose view of the financial challenges that threaten the well-being of our award-winning schools, and with these challenges in mind, the LCCHS Foundation and I have endorsed Proposition AA. High school graduates are competing for college admissions and quality jobs. As a result, demand is growing for classes in advanced math, science, and engineering. All of our schools need upgrades to meet evolving technological standards for classrooms, labs, and libraries. Aging schools suffer from leaky roofs, rusty plumbing, and inadequate electrical systems. Some schools don’t meet modern seismic standards; others still have hazardous asbestos and lead to remove. While these schools have served our community well, we must make urgent repairs and upgrades so all students learn in safe, modern classrooms. Without securing local funding, we cannot pay for these upgrades. Proposition AA improvements could also help save millions of dollars currently used to patch old school facilities. SDUHSD hasn’t asked voters to pass a bond measure in more than 40 years, but we can no longer afford to wait and hope that legislators in Sacramento will someday fund these improvements. We need Proposition AA today to provide local funding for urgent school improvements to protect the quality of our local schools. We hope that your readers will join me and Vote Yes on Proposition AA. Clarke Caines President La Costa Canyon High School Foundation

Prop J will increase traffic problems We are going to vote No on Proposition J. As long-term Del Mar residents, we have seen increased cut-through traffic on our side streets and alleys, especially during the business hours , with frequent speeding and failure to stop at “STOP” signs. It is hazardous to walk on the side streets as it is; with cutting the Camino Del Mar traffic down to just one way each way, the cut-through traffic will only be increased. Also, the disruption caused by construction costs on Camino Del Mar, if this round-about plan is implemented, and the extra building proposed will cause huge traffic congestion for several years. Affordable housing is also a need in Del Mar, By what criteria, in the plan, would it be decided as to what is “affordable?” We believe this definite need for affordable housing in Del Mar might be better addressed as an individual project.

Why we are voting No on Prop J Before you cast your vote, ask yourself this question: When you first came to Del Mar what made you want to make it your home? For me, it was that quaint, laid-back village that was a throw back in time. A place that was different than any other I had ever seen. That feeling is something that most of us have in common in choosing this place to live. Our village is what keeps bringing new residents to our seaside town. Let’s not destroy our village in the name of more commercial development. Prop J covers an area on Camino Del Mar from 15th Street to 9th Street – a six block area along our only highway in and out of town. Look what Prop J has in store for our residents who want to protect their quality of life: 220,000 square feet of new commercial space, 48,000 of which is reserved for about 20 new restaurants and bars. Noisy trash trucks pick up the smelly rotten food every two days. Late night partiers walk to their cars during residential sleeping hours. Is that what we want as residents who have to put up with all of this? One-hundred and 10 new residential dwelling units in this same area. Where are they going to be built? How many cars will be parked in those units? How many trips per day will they make? Will this plan cause even more downtown congestion? State laws allow density bonuses of up to 35 percent for low cost housing thereby increasing densities up to 140 residential units. Is this what we want for our community? Twenty-six feet high, two-story buildings can be constructed on west side of Camino del Mar. Views and the open, airy feeling of our village will disappear and be gone forever. Camino del Mar is reduced to one lane in each direction. With commuter and visitor traffic passing through town, how could this ever make sense to anyone? How can you have Towne and Country parking with a bike lane immediately behind and then one-lane traffic? And with the stop light remaining at 15th Street, every time the signal turns to RED there will again be gridlock. Response times for emergency vehicles will be increased. Retired Del Mar Fire Chief Jack Gosney is on record as saying that a single lane configuration on Camino del Mar is a bad idea and should never be implemented. The overall safety factor of mixing bicyclists, tourists, pedestrians and vehicles with roundabouts is sure to be a disaster in the making. There are going to be serious accidents, perhaps fatalities. And who are we doing all of this for? We haven’t figured that one out yet, but I do know for sure that it is not for our residents. Residents living near this new residential and commercial development will be negatively affected. Are they to stand by and let Prop J become a reality? They are part of us so shouldn’t we come to their defense and help defeat Prop J? Why should we allow our town and little village be taken over by major development that once started will never be reversed? Prop J eliminates the Protections of Proposition B. Proposition B provides that any future development of the commercial district on lots of 25,000 square feet or more cannot take place without a vote of the people. Additionally, any development or redevelopment in excess of 11,500 square feet of commercial floor area is also subject to a vote of the people. Prop J overrides this ordinance by providing that as long as any developer is in compliance with the provisions of Prop J, Prop B would be overridden and has no effect These are just a few of the reasons that I believe Prop J is overly ambitious for our seaside town and will cause our way of life to be negatively altered forever. Please give thought to the reality of what will happen to our little piece of Heaven before you cast your vote. My wife and I, as longtime residents who love Del Mar, are in opposition and will vote No on Prop J. Please join us in voting No on Prop J. Hershell Price

JUST IN!!

Take the time to learn the facts before voting on Del Mar’s future Over the past 29 years I’ve been in the heart of Del Mar there have been a few constants: terrific people; beautiful weather and beach; wonderful restaurants; world-class horse racing and events; increasing traffic; groups working to improve the village; and those who are opposed to virtually any changes or improvements. The Plaza was opposed preferring to keep the run-down strip center that stood on that spot; L’Auberge was opposed in favor of the weed covered vacant lot that was at the corner of 15th and Camino del Mar and it took two elections to get the hotel passed; the firm stand refusing to increase parking and risk added traffic at the train station led Amtrak to stop service to Del Mar and move the station to Solana Beach; formally complaining to the City Council because Robert Wyland’s whale painting at the fairgrounds exceeded the one year it was supposed to be up; and even notifying the City Code Enforcer because my temporary 40th anniversary banner exceeded the 30 days allowable. Virtually the same people were in each opposition group. We now have the latest round of “us” and “them” with Prop J in Del Mar; the proposition to modify the Village Specific Plan to “revitalize” downtown. There has been a group of residents meeting, as directed by Council, for a couple years to look at form based code. Out of that, came proposed “Revitalization” and over 75 community meetings to get input with the entire timeline laid out. After all those meetings and input from the residents, property owners, and businesses, the Council then voted to put it on the ballot, Prop J, to let the voters decide. Pick a side: Be for the revitalization of downtown and look forward for the future of all those who come after us; or be for keeping Del Mar the quaint olde village that it is and allow the 20-year-old specific plan to be what guides the future? It’s so much more than taking Camino del Mar to one lane each way with roundabouts. So much more than changing height limits or floor area ratios. And so much more than about parking requirements. It really is about what our wonderful Olde Del Mar will look like and be like to live and work in 20 years from now when my grandkids have kids. Of course the personalization and demonizing has begun that is required for an election in our village with opposite views. What used to be the “grays” vs. the “greens” have been replaced with modern day versions. How wonderful it would be to have intelligent, respectful discourse from our well educated, sophisticated Del Martians. That shouldn’t be that difficult, right? I believe very few of us have actually read the 305-pound document being voted upon (that’s an exaggeration, it’s a few pounds less than that), and most folks are getting the facts of what’s included from a neighbor or friend. It does bother me when I hear someone who is against Prop J state that the City should have been more open about it (over 75 meetings); or that it’s being rushed through (over a year in Council); or that the village should stay just the way it is (shall we tell that to struggling retailers?). Find out for yourself. Go to one of the informational meetings at the City that are still being held; talk to the council members, after all you elected them; or talk to Kathy Garcia at City Hall with your specific questions. I don’t think there’s anyone who understands it more thoroughly and completely than she does. After you have the data then ask yourself: “What do I want our Del Mar to be like and feel like when this new baby born here today walks down the street 25 years from now?” That should lead you to your vote. Charles Darwin wrote: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one most adaptable to change.” Has anyone tried to find a typewriter repair shop lately? Jim Coleman, Del Mar

Mar’s apparent lack of preparation: • “The technology component for each site has not been specifically outlined.” • “Schedule regarding projects has not been provided.” •“The project list that will be presented to voters does not identify the list of improvements by site.” Lani Lutar, president of the SDCTA, said in an interview that Del Mar missed the deadline for submission to the SDCTA. Other school districts also missed the July 5 deadline, but each approached the SDCTA beforehand and explained why they would be late. “We granted extensions for a few districts that requested more time early on, but in each of those instances, the school districts had requested meetings with us prior to the deadline and made their case for why they needed more time,” Lutar wrote in an email. “That is not true of Del Mar Union.” Del Mar did little upfront preparation, threw together a hastily prepared package, and is now broadcasting “sky is falling” doomsday scenarios and expects taxpayers to go along quietly.

is if we have some new faces at City Hall, so I decided to run,” Frankel said. Heebner questioned why Frankel didn’t tell her about it. “I would have looked into it like I do everything,” she said. Frankel said he would pursue three main goals if elected: restore property rights that he believes have been compromised by actions of the current council; refocus city government’s attention on basics such as public safety, including traffic issues; and try to make Solana Beach a friendlier place for residents, visitors and businesses. The only piece of the 101 renovation he supported, he said, was the sewer and drainage work that would have cost $2 million

to $3 million. Instead of pursuing the larger project, he said, the city should have focused on adding parking to the Solana Beach train station, allowing a reduction in business parking requirements, and making it easier for businesses to locate in the city. “I believe the Highway 101 project is icing on the cake when we haven’t baked the cake yet,” he said. A new council majority is needed to change the direction of the city, he said. “This election is very pivotal for the city. If Vickie Driver and Daniel Powell and myself are not elected, very little if anything will change in the community… it will be pretty much business as usual,” he said.

its interest in a bond measure to surprised neighboring districts not until March 2012. “This was not on anybody’s radar,” said San Dieguito Union High School District superintendent Ken Noah in May. Contrast this with the approach taken by SDUHSD which is also asking voters to approve a GO bond this year. SDUHSD transparently created a task force nearly four years ago to investigate the condition of its facilities and precisely specify the work needed, making sure along the way that the public was well-advised of the district’s aim to provide in-depth information to support a GO bond. In Del Mar, there was no similar facilities task force and nothing leading up to its surprise announcement. The claim by the DMUSD that its bond is based on a two-year strategic plan for facilities is not credible. Every school district has a facilities plan; serious work on what a bond measure entails is quite different and demands dedicated attention to details not generally covered in a strategic plan.

After surveying community members at the behest of the board on a 3-2 vote, the Dolinka Group financial consultants determined that about $8 per $100,000 was the optimal amount that at least 55 percent of voters would support. But the way it’s supposed to work is that school districts identify a need first and then ask for funding – not grab a big pile of money, based on what consultants think voters will sit still for, and then figure out how to spend it. Disturbingly, the three board members who voted with Wooden to place the bond measure on the ballot at the July board meeting did so without seeing any specific information on costs, projects or per-site improvements. Wooden, who insisted on reviewing some specifics from staff before voting on the measure, said he was “disappointed” when the packet for the board’s July meeting lacked bond detail. Board members are stewards of the public trust, and the public rightfully expects trustees to vet this information sufficiently and scrutinize these kinds of measures with careful analysis and due diligence, before presenting it before voters for approval. In its analysis, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association weighed in on Del

volunteered with the Solana Beach Little League. He said he decided to make his first run for public office after he was told of an incident in which supporters of Councilwoman Lesa Heebner approached a home-builder friend outside City Hall, and told him he had to change the plans for a project he was working on, or they would see to it that the project was not approved. While Frankel stressed that Heebner was not personally involved, he was troubled by the reputed incident. “I mulled it around and thought about what the appropriate response would be, and decided the only way this is going to change

Solana Beach show a ‘homecoming’ for Sublime frontman

BBQ fundraiser to be held for injured rugby player Ronan Nelson BY KAREN BILLING The Team Ronan Recovery Fund is holding a fundraising party on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 5 p.m. Team Ronan supports Ronan Nelson, a Cathedral Catholic student-athlete who broke his neck and incurred spinal cord injuries playing rugby earlier this year. The event will feature a catered BBQ lunch, entertainment, raffle and live auction at the private home of Rick and Mary Reeder in Encinitas. Attendees are welcomed to dress to represent their favorite rugby club or nation. “He’s a really great kid,” said Bill Leversee, A Nov. 3 event will benefit chair of the Team Ronan Ronan Nelson, a Cathedral event and also Ronan’s Catholic student who rugby coach. “Insurance broke his neck and injured only goes so far and his his spinal cord playing family is in need of sup- rugby. Photo/Jon Clark port so he is able to see a full recovery in his rehab. The community is really rallying together and stepping up to support this cause.” Ronan was injured during a game last year with the San Diego Mustangs at Carmel Valley Middle School. The road to recovery has had its challenges, but Ronan is staying strong and working hard at his rehab, Leversee said. “He is beginning to get some movement back in his upper body and some feeling in his legs,” Leversee said. “He is making progress. He is back in school at Cathedral, using a motorized wheelchair.” An excellent student, Ronan has a 4.5 GPA at Cathedral. In June, Team Ronan held its first fundraiser—the World’s Biggest Scrum. A total of 738 people attended and Ronan ceremoniously threw out the ball. Leversee said the foundation’s second fundraiser, the Team Ronan BBQ, will be an annual event. It promises to be “quite the party,” he said. Live auction items include a family membership to Pacific Sports Resort (formerly known as Pacific Athletic Club in Carmel Valley) and a package to see the International Rugby Sevens in Las Vegas, to name just a few. The auction will also feature Fund-A-Need items, where people can sponsor rehab time for Ronan at his physical therapy center Project Walk in Carlsbad. See RONAN, page B17

The band’s reggae-influenced tunes not only became an obsession for Ramirez, but they inspired him to get a guitar and start playing himself. Never did the Bay-area native think that a little over a decade later, he’d actually become a star in the band — filling the shoes of the late lead singer Bradley Nowell, a well-known music legend and Ramirez’s biggest idol. “For people to even debate whether I’m as good as Bradley is insane,” said Ramirez. “It’s like, if you listen to the Rolling Stones, saying ‘That guy compared to Mick Jagger.’ It’s an accomplishment just to be in the same vein, in the same sentence. It’s the ultimate form of flattery, even if they’re saying I’m no Bradley.” At 24, Ramirez has his hands full playing with the band, now called “Sublime With Rome.” But he’s also embarking on a solo musical endeavor as “Rome,” and his first show — to take place Nov. 2 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach — will be a homecoming event of sorts. “This is my first time playing my music and it will be in my home,” said Ramirez who said he spent every holiday and summer in San Diego, in addition to annual trips to the Del Mar Fair. “All my family is going to be there. It’s going to be a very memorable one for me.” Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, who became famous with Nowell as Sublime in the 1990s, didn’t actually seek out a new singer to replace Nowell after he died. The band’s many hits hadn’t — and still haven’t — died. It was somewhat coincidental how things fell into place for Ramirez. The connection was made in 2008 when Ramirez, then 20 years old and homeless, went to the recording studio

where a girl he was dating worked at. “One day Eric Wilson pulled up in the parking lot. He was driving a [Mercedes Benz G-Class] wagon with 24inch rims, listening to Biggie Smalls with a cigarette and a big Rottweiler,” said Ramirez. “He was the coolest guy I

lime. After that, Rome had a claim-tofame moment when he wrote and sang the recognizable vocals on popular 2010 single “Lay Me Down” by The Dirty Heads. Ramirez’s solo work is a departure from the music he’s known for doing

Roman “Rome” Ramirez, who joined the band Sublime years after the death of music legend Bradley Nowell, will perform on Nov. 2 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. COURTESY PHOTO had ever seen and someone introduced me.” Ramirez became friends with Wilson and the two started playing together for fun. “He’d pick up a bass and I’d pick up a guitar and we’d just make stuff up and jam,” he said, adding that he wasn’t at that time trying hard to get into the music scene as a career. “I was living in my van and sleeping on couches and writing songs,” he said. “I really didn’t care about anything as long as I could play music. I’ve always been a really happy guy and money doesn’t mean anything to me.” At one point Ramirez got a job as a video game tester — “the best job in the world,” he said — but he quit because he didn’t have time to play guitar. “My mom always told me just to be happy and everything would work itself out,” said Ramirez. Things started to change about six months after meeting Gibson, who got to know Ramirez as a musician and was ready for the next phase of Sub-

with Sublime With Rome, he said. “There are so many elements that influenced the songs, from being flat broke in a van to sitting at Eric Wilson’s house jamming with him,” said Ramirez of his solo album, which he will perform at the upcoming Belly Up show. “It’s like a ‘90s record,” he said. “So many elements, stages, styles and inspirations. It’s going to sound like, ‘This dude has been everywhere listening to all sorts of stuff.’” Ramirez is by no means neglecting Sublime by going on a solo tour. The day after his tour as Rome ends, he heads to Hawaii and Brazil to play with Wilson and Gaugh. “I’m going to play in Sublime until the day I die hopefully,” said Ramirez. “It’s just so fun.” For more information about Rome’s upcoming show and to buy tickets, call the Belly Up at (858) 4818140 or visit www.bellyup.com/event/ rome/.

Food trucks roll into Del Mar, Solana Beach for regular events

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY CLAIRE HARLIN On Oct. 17, both Del Mar and Solana Beach experienced an invasion of food trucks — and they might be here to stay. Starting at 5:30 p.m. in the parking lot at 1601 Coast Blvd., beach-goers in Del Mar came off the sand to find six food trucks cooking up crepes, Italian food, hot dogs and more parked and ready to serve. Some walked over for a meal, while others came to address their curiosity about the new Del Mar sight. Organized by Curbside Bites, a company that puts on similar food truck gatherings all around Southern California, the posse of trucks will roll in every Wednesday and stay until 8:30 p.m. — however, specific regulations are pending at City Hall (see story on page 1). Meanwhile, on South Cedros in Solana Beach, Don Wilson, Daniel Powell and the business owners of the Village at Cedros (at 346 S. Cedros at the corner of Rosa Street) had the same idea. Three gourmet food trucks posted up in the parking lot surrounded by Lockwood Table, Re Gallery, Studio Penny Lane, Polo Bay Interiors and others, and well over 200 people came through to eat and listen to live music. “We’re trying to make a nice

We’re divided by the tracks and the 101 so we’re trying make a space where everyone can eat, listen to music and hang out.” This was the first event of its kind in Solana Beach, and Wilson said he hopes to have many more. Marko Pavlinovic, owner of Mangia Mangia, an Italian food truck that will be frequenting Del Mar, said it was the group’s second week in the area. “We basically create food courts with food trucks,” said Pavlinovic,

whose specialties are lobster ravioli and pizza burgers. “I figure if I go out on my own I may get Italian food, but if you go out with a friend, then you both have choices here.” Rich Huarte of New York on Rye, a food truck that will also be in Del Mar, said he frequents many spots around San Diego, but this is his first oceanfront location. “We get here just in time to watch the sun set over the Pacific,” said Huarte, who specializes in corned beef burritos and Reuben sandwiches. “I’ve been here 18 months from New York City, and there’s no delicatessen that’s got a view like that.”

Some say Bice is among the best for Italian cuisine BY KELLEY CARLSON or an authentic Italian experience in “America’s Finest City,” people can turn to Bice Ristorante, in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. From the food to the employees and the atmosphere, Bice (pronounced “Bee-chey”) strives to re-create a slice of life from the boot-shaped peninsula in southern Europe. “We want to give the experience of more than only dinner,” said Mario Cassineri, executive chef and partner. The establishment’s roots are bona fide Italian, as the first Bice (a nickname for the original owner, Beatrice Ruggeri) opened in 1926 in Milan, and eventually made its way to the States. Decades later, the San Diego operation, which began its current incarnation three years ago, serves Italian cuisine steeped in tradition, yet provides a modern and sleek style of decor. Guests won’t find red-andwhite checkered tablecloths; instead, white and off-white linens are layered on top of each other, with fall-themed centerpieces of mini pumpkins and candles. Gauzy, creamcolored curtains frame tall windows; sepiatoned images stand out along the white walls. Autumnal-colored candles, jack-o-lanterns and wine bottles accent dark, square shelves. Bice Ristorante provides several areas for seating. Patrons can celebrate the daily happy hour in the bar/lounge, where there are several tables, a dozen bar seats and two TVs. From 5 to 7 p.m., items are $5, from the well drinks, house wines and the

cocktail of the month, to the gourmet bar food menu, which includes Wagyu Beef Carpaccio on a Himalayan Sea Salt Rack and Signature Bice Lobster Crispy “Pizza.” In the other direction is the dining room, where patrons can dine intimately or in small groups. Lounge music in the style of artists such as Thievery Corporation plays in the background. The dining room is also home to the seven-seat cheese bar, which additionally serves about five types of imported salami and happy hour specials. To truly get a taste of Bice, Cassineri recommends sampling the Italian cheeses. “Our menu is big, there is a lot of choice,” he said. There are 35 from which to choose, and

people who have a hard time narrowing their favorites can get advice from Chef Francesca Penoncelli, who is nearly always behind the counter. The dinner menu contains a number of selections, too, but it’s broken down into several courses. A person may start with antipasti such as Carpaccio di Bufala con Rafano e Topinambur Croccanti — thinly sliced buffalo carpaccio with mustard leaf salad and sunchoke chips in a horseradish and Dijon dressing. For the primi piatti (first course), there are dishes such as the Orzotto all’Aragosta e Burratina, which is “risotto style” barley with Maine lobster, tomato and burrata cheese. And for the secondi piatti, entrees include Filetto di Branzino alla Mediterranea Cotto Sul Cedro ed Essenza di Tartufo, Caponata Tiepida di Verdure — Mediterranean sea bass cooked on a cedar wood plank and finished with grape tomatoes and a fresh herb truffle emulsion served with caponata. Everything is made to order, Cassineri said, so vegetarians and those who require gluten-free diets don’t need to worry. This week, there will be pumpkin and mushroom delights. Recently, Bice received its $3,000-a-pound truffles from Alba, Italy, and concocted entrees such as the Risotto Carnaroli “Parmigiana,” with 28-monthsaged Parmesan and truffle shavings. “We try to stay on top all the time with new products coming in, what’s new on the market,” Cassineri said.

From the main dining room, customers can see into the wine room.

The bar/lounge is one of two places where guests can enjoy happy hour.

Cedros shop honors Dia de los Muertos with altar exhibition BY CLAIRE HARLIN While many are carving pumpkins and getting their costumes ready for Halloween, Cindy Cruz, owner of Solana Beach’s Leaping Lotus, is reminding the community of another fall-time tradition — Dia de los Muertos. Just as she does every year, she has invited artists to adorn the entrance of her South Cedros shop with an elaborate exhibition of altars and artwork fashioned after the Hispanic holiday, when the dead are said to return home and visit their loved ones. The altars, spearheaded by artist Todd Swenke, tower more than 6 feet high and have tiers filled with offerings and embellishments that are said to please the dead and pay homage. The colorful, candle-lit display, presented in a private reception on Oct. 17, will be viewable at 240 S. Cedros through the first week on November. In addition to the centerpiece alter created by Swenke, an altar honoring Frida Kahlo by artists Max Boroquez and La Bucky is featured, as well as an altar honoring deceased music legends, by artists Milo Lorenzana and Carolina Santana. These and several other artists work out of a studio called The Spot in Barrio Logan. For more information on the exhibition, call Leaping Lotus at (858) 720-8283; www.leapinglotus.com

New Garden Club blossoming in Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING A new garden club has sprouted up in Carmel Valley. Gardeners92130, founded by Torrey Hills r e s i d e n t Stephanie “Stevie” Hall, is open to any interested gardener looking to expand on their knowledge and get together with like-minded green thumbs. Stephanie “Stevie” Hall Hall, who enjoys both vegetable gardening as well as specializing in roses as a certified consulting rosarian, wanted to get local and started her own club earlier this year. She has cultivated the group to about 14 members and is hoping for more. Gardeners92130 became officially affiliated with the California Garden Clubs, Inc. and National Garden Clubs, Inc. in June, which allowed the club to be designated as 501c3 non-profit. The non-profit designation, granted in September, allowed the club to move from meeting at members’ houses to their new home in the meeting room at the Ocean Air Recreation Center.

The club aims to meet on the third Thursday of every month from 1:30-3:30 p.m. “We’re still learning how to be a garden club,” said Hall, who has been able to line up fun and interesting topics for her group to learn about each month. Their first meeting featured a speaker from the city water department to talk about low-water use gardening. Another meeting delved into square foot gardening — gardening using a grid system. “It’s a super smart way to start small with a garden and not become overwhelmed,” Hall said. The club has discussed vermiculture and composting, as well as aquaponic gardening, the art of raising fish together with produce. A birding expert shared with the club about what to plant to attract birds and a possible topic for November’s meeting is vertical gardening. At its Oct. 18 meeting, the club hosted Mia McCarville, who has owned the Cedros Gardens nursery in Solana Beach for nearly 20 years. McCarville spoke about the right kinds of vegetables to grow in the fall season. In season for fall are veggies such as leafy greens, cabbage, lettuce, onions, carrots, turnips and fava beans. McCarville offered up tips on the right kind of soil mix and nutrients needed to help the vegetable fall bounty. To join Gardeners92130 or learn more about the club, email Stephanie Hall at stevieinsandiego@gmail.com or call (858) 7940111.

ters with more than 40,000 actively engaged members. The annual fashion show, one of the signature events of the NCL Del Sol chapter, is re-imagined every year with a unique theme which embodies the spirit of the class. “This year’s ‘Off the Page’ fashion show will include free flowing, uninhibited concepts. Making connections to something larger, not confining your creativity, spring boarding a small idea into something great, and writing a sentence

that turns into a book or a sketch that turns into art are all part of this vision. These words are what we see in our daughters – they are all ready to own their own page that will launch them onto the world’s stage,” commented Sarah King, 2012 Fashion Show Chair. In addition to raising funds for a community service project, the fashion show provides the girls with training in the areas of poise, stage presence, self-esteem and personal style.

This year, the girls will be modeling fashions from local boutiques including Mia Bella, Nicole Miller, Mabels, Daisy Blue, LF La Jolla, Tobi Blatt, Pretty Please, Pink Lagoon, and The Back Room. Hair and make-up services have been donated by HAIM Salons. For more information about the NCL Del Sol Chapter, please visit www. ncldelsol.org

Robert Sunstein, DDS, works to make smiles big and bright in Carmel Valley and La Jolla BY MARTI GACIOCH Orthodontist Robert Sunstein, DDS, has given clients a lot to smile about for nearly 15 years. In his La Jolla Eads Avenue offices, Sunstein, known as “the Sunny Smile Specialist,” provides a range of orthodontic treatments for both children and adults. Sunstein recently assumed the Carmel Valley dental practice of his friend, Dr. Dennis Nappen, and divides his time between the two offices. “I have all state-of-the art equipment, whether it’s traditional braces, clear braces or Invisalign,” Sunstein said. “I use digital radiology, which has minimal radiation and allows ev- Dr. Robert Sunstein, DDS erything to be done in my office.” Sunstein said that technology for orthodontics has evolved so rapidly over the past 10-15 years that right now the best quality techniques are available to accelerate a patient’s progress. “Two generations ago, braces took four-five years to do, but now I’m taking care of my patients in six-12 months,” Sunstein said. Sunstein uses unique wires with superb elasticity (made of titanium and other metal products) that allow him to use a prescription bracket. Sunstein’s ability to place the bracket where it’s needed, allows the wires to do gentle tooth movement that speeds up the treatment time. “I told kids coming in for treatment this summer that if they’re good, they’ll have a great smile by the end of next summer and have the braces off before school starts so they can show up at school with perfect, straight white teeth,” he said. Sunstein moved to La Jolla with his parents in 1982. He attended SDSU and UCLA where he earned his earned his doctorate of dental surgery. He went on to receive his Certificate of Orthodontics from New York’s Columbia University. “I considered La Jolla the most beautiful place I’d ever seen, and every time I came home, my dream was to have a boutique dental practice in La Jolla,” Sunstein said. He realized that dream when he opened his Village practice nearly 15 years ago. “I love the people, the weather and the environment, and I love being able to drive from my house without getting on the freeway,” Sunstein said of his days. He is proud to be a longtime supporter of the Las Patronas’ Jewel Ball. “It’s been a great experience working with that group of people for more than 14 years, and some of my most memorable times while living in La Jolla,” Sunstein said.

La Jolla Music Society presents Season 44 La Jolla Music Society opens its latest Frieman Family Piano Series with an all-Debussy program from Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2 at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art, 900 Prospect St. One of today’s most sought-after soloists, Thibaudet has the rare ability to combine poetic musical sensibilities with dazzling technical prowess. According to The New York Times, “every note he fashions is a pearl … the joy, brilliance and musicality of his performance could not be missed.” Highlights from the concert will include “Suite Bergamasque” and “L’isle Joyeuse.” Thibaudet was born in Lyon, France, where he began his piano studies at age five and made his first public appearance at age seven. At 12, he entered the Paris Conservatory to study with Aldo Ciccolini and Lucette Descaves, a collaborator of Ravel. At age 15, he won the Premier Prix du Conservatoire and, three years later, won the Young Concert Artists Auditions in New York

City. Thibaudet’s musical depth and charisma have underlined a career with global impact, including 30 years of performing around the world and 40 recorded albums. Tickets, $25-$75, are available through the box office, (858) 459-3728 or online at LJMS.org

The dance was led by Laurie Beth Katz, an instructor from the Scripps Performing Arts Academy in Torrey Hills, as part of Red Ribbon Week festivities, a week promoting a healthy drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Scripps Performing Arts Academy and Jimbo’s Naturally were sponsors of Solana Pacific’s week of events. Photos/Karen Billing and Trish Sullivan

Prizes include packages from local eateries such as Sbicca, Burlap, Pacifica Del Mar, Crush, and Ruth’s Chris Steak House, as well as fitness offerings from the

Sporting Club in La Jolla, Sculpt Fusion, Yoga Tropics and Yoga 6. The party will also be a unique opportunity to meet and hang out with some of the best rugby players the country has ever produced, as the USA National Rugby team will be in attendance. Rugby was recently added to the summer Olympics schedule and will be a part

of the 2016 competition, so attendees will be mixing with future Olympians. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Leversee said. “I highly encourage everyone to reach into their pocket and give.” To register for the event visit wepay.com/events/sandiego-mustangs-bbq-to-benefit-ronan-nelson
