No date set yet for CV Planning Board vote on revised One Paseo BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board does not have a set date yet to take a formal vote on the revised One Paseo development. As Chair Frisco White noted during a One Paseo update at the board’s Oct. 22 meeting, the board will be dark in November and December, and setting up special meetings during the holiday season can be a problem. The board will be unable to hold its proposed November special meeting, because Kilroy Realty submitted plans for the proposed new One Paseo project on Oct. 19 and the city’s comments wouldn’t have been available in time. White said whenever the special meeting is called, he wants to ensure that the community doesn’t feel left out of the board’s decision-making process. Kilroy’s Oct. 19 submittal included the scaled-down One Paseo project, as well as various technical studies to confirm that there are no new impacts from the revised project, and that the certified environmental impact report (EIR) remains intact. The new One Paseo is still mixed-use, with 95,000 square feet of retail, 280,000 square feet of office space and 608 residential units (or 800,000 square feet). See ONE PASEO, page 22

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The proposed reconstruction of Solana Highlands in Solana Beach took a step backward Oct. 20 when the city’s View Assessment Commission unanimously denied a development review permit and a structure development permit for the project. Commissioners came to their decision after a twoday special meeting, in which they heard from a dozen community members who said the project would affect their views. Other residents who did not file view assessment claims also shared their concerns. “Maybe this isn’t going to work,” said Commissioner Pat Coad at the end of the first day of comments. “Maybe you need to go

back to the drawing board and start over again.” H.G. Fenton Company, which purchased the property at South Nardo and Stevens avenues in 1998, has proposed to demolish and rebuild Solana Highlands, a complex of 196 apartments and four multifamily homes, built in 1972. The project calls for 315,869 square feet of residential space, a 10,287-square-foot clubhouse and leasing office, 50,600 square feet of garage parking, 256,355 square feet of landscaping and 67,156 square feet of open space on the 13.4-acre site. Plans include rebuilding the complex with 260 oneand two-bedroom apartments in 25 two- and

three-story buildings. Thirty-two apartments would be affordable units. Plans also include 525 onsite parking spaces, including 253 garage spaces, a clubhouse and leasing office, and recreational amenities such as a pool. The space is zoned high-density residential, which allows 13 to 20 units per acre. The plan proposes 18.69 units per acre. City code limits the height to 30 feet. The maximum height of the project is 57.5 feet. The buildings now on the site are two stories tall, reaching to 25 feet, according to city staff. To reduce what they described as the bulk and scale of the project, some residents suggested the company construct fewer See PROJECT, page 22

City of San Diego aiming for November 2016 bond to build new fire stations BY KAREN BILLING The city of San Diego is hoping to build support for a $205 million general obligation bond on the November 2016 ballot to help fund a citywide shortfall on fire stations. If approved, the bond would assist in building 17 fire stations to shore up gaps in emergency services. One such gap is in Torrey Hills, and at its Oct. 20 meeting, the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board joined 10 other community planning groups in support of the bond effort. San Diego City Council President Pro-tem Marti Emerald is leading efforts for the bond and attended the Oct. 20 meeting, along with San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Chief Javier Mainar, City Council President Sherri Lightner and other members of city staff. Lightner said there has been a need for a fire station in Torrey Hills since she took office in 2008. “I wholeheartedly support the plan for a bond measure to build the remaining fire stations we need,” she said. “We simply cannot continue to do without these improvements to our fire safety infrastructure.” As Mainar said, 80 percent of what the fire department does is medical emergency services-related. Response times can reach 12 to 15 minutes when the goal is to get there in fewer than seven minutes. In an emergency such as a cardi-

CV planning board OKs stop sign at Del Mar Trails Road-Mona Lisa intersection BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board unanimously approved a new stop sign at Del Mar Trails Road and Mona Lisa Street in light of neighbors’ concerns after a pedestrian’s death this spring. Resident Anna Crotty presented her case before the planning board, arguing that a crosswalk alone does not slow down cars that are traveling upward of 55 miles per hour on the curved residential street. The board was in favor of the proposal, keeping in mind the tragedy of April 30, when Azita Hafezi-Saghafi, 57, was struck and killed while using the crosswalk at the intersection. Crotty was previously a part of community efforts to bring a stop sign to Worsch Drive where it turns into Carmel Park Drive and Santa Nella Place in 2014, and a crosswalk for the intersection at Camarero Court and Del Mar Trails in 2012. She said both measures had an impact on pedestrian safety. “My experience at Worsch is that the stop sign does the job,” Crotty said. “We don’t see perfect behavior, but it’s a huge improvement, and we actually let our children cross the street there.” After April’s fatal accident, the city changed the color of the crosswalk in July, which Crotty said seemed to make it even less visible. The white paint was replaced with yellow and the “Abbey Road”-style white striping across the inside of the cross-

walk was replaced with just two yellow lines. The traffic study conducted at the intersection did not come up with the numbers to support a crosswalk. “I was a little disappointed by the traffic study, quite honestly,” said board member Chris Moore. “It took three to four months to complete, and the result was (that) a stop sign was not warranted. It seemed like the same old tired idea … I think it was thinking a little too inside the box. A lot of people were very concerned, and a person was killed. I would’ve liked to have seen a different approach to this intersection.” Moore said adding a four-way stop would alleviate cut-through traffic and speeding and help make the crosswalk safer, as cars would actually slow down and stop. Crotty said the city engineer found that there were not a lot of reasons for pedestrians to cross there; but she pointed out that the intersection is near Pacific Sports Resort, a church, two schools and Del Mar Trails Park. “Not enough people cross because it’s too dangerous,” Crotty said. While the traffic study didn’t come up with the numbers to support a crosswalk, Crotty did — with a petition signed by 200 people. Board member Ken Farinsky said Del Mar Trails Road is one of the areas that the planning board’s Livability committee is looking to address with some long-term planning solutions. The road features a bike

lane that turns into parking, and the committee has discussed converting the entire bike lane to parking on one side to narrow the road so it doesn’t seem so much like a highway. The Livability committee is planning a community workshop from 2-4:30 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Carmel Valley Library. Residents can attend and give input about pedestrian, bicycle and transit issues in Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch as the committee works to develop possible solutions.

CV News/DM Times/SB Sun writers win more journalism awards Reporters and freelance writers for the Carmel Valley News, and its sister newspapers, the Del Mar Times, Solana Beach Sun, Rancho Santa Fe Review and Encinitas Advocate, recently took home 10 awards at the San Diego Press Club’s annual Excellence in Journalism Awards event held Oct. 27. Award winners in a variety of non-daily categories included Marsha Sutton (first place and second place awards); Jared Whitlock (first place award); Karen Billing (two second place awards); Kristina Houck (third place award); Joe Tash (third place award); Diane Welch (second place award); and Jeanne McKinney (second and third place award). This newspaper and its sister publications have received numerous local, state and national journalism awards over the years, including two recent first place state “Lifestyles” coverage awards and three first place national “General Excellence” awards.

Del Mar ad-hoc committee invites public to provide input at Nov. 3 meeting Del Mar’s Ad-Hoc Development Review Process Citizens’ Advisory Committee is inviting the community to get involved in the process. Members of the public who have gone through the design review process are encouraged to share their experience during the committee’s Nov. 3 meeting, which is scheduled for 6-7:30 p.m. at the Del Mar City Hall Annex, located at 235 11th St. in Del Mar.

DreamWorks Studio chief talks business to Bishop’s students BY JAMES PALEN Students at The Bishop’s School had an opportunity to talk one-on-one with DreamWorks Studios Chief Operating Officer Jeff Small recently, taking back to the classroom a message promoting hard work and hope for those dreaming of careers in the filmmaking industry. Small, who joined DreamWorks in 2006 and works there under director Steven Spielberg, was invited to the school Oct. 15 as part of The Bishop’s School’s Endowed Leadership Lecture Series, which dates to 2003 and has included such speakers as famed San Diego Padres’ pitcher Trevor Hoffman and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. After a light-hearted and joke-filled presentation about his rise from working at Walt Disney Studios to his role at DreamWorks today, Small fielded questions from the curious crowd of sixth- through 12thgrade students, who wondered about everything from what his favorite movie was to how a studio knows when to take a chance on a little-known actor. One of those students was senior Dylan Rohn, who said that while he used to tell himself he wanted to be a filmmaker, he’s realized he already is one. “I’ve pretty much been making films as long as I can remember,” Rohn said. “I’m making one right now. I keep increasing my levels of professionalism.” Known in the area’s filmmaking crowd as a rising young producer of multiple short

documentaries, Rohn has been involved in the Teen Producers Project since before he started high school. His projects, including the 7-minute film “Problem Solved” — written, directed and edited by Rohn — have won awards and have at times been featured on the KPBS News Hour. Rohn asked Small how industry professionals can find a balance between the money-driven business side and the part that drove them to enter it in the first place — their passion — while minimizing any conflict between the two. “I’m looking at it from the artistic perspective,” Rohn said. “This is something that really brings a level of joy to my life that nothing else can approach.” Small said the basic economics of filmmaking make for a symbiotic relationship between artistic and financial motivations, making little need for a filmmaker to compromise his passion as his main source of motivation. “The joke is that movies don’t make money unless they’re good,” Small said. “It all starts with a great story. It all starts with a great filmmaker. And very few filmmakers make movies because they want to make money. They really don’t. At some point, they do want to make money — let’s be honest — but they really make it for the reasons that you say.” Spielberg’s movies, Small added, are made because the stories speak to him creatively, and that artistic connection to a film is what would give it a greater shot at eco-

Photo by James Palen nomic success, he suggested. During the roughly 45-minute all-school assembly, Small referred to the various roles any of the students interested in the film industry could fill if filmmaking was their passion. “I got into the movie business, and I came from a long way away in Marietta, Georgia,” Small said. “This is not the rubber tire business; it is the movie business. But if you decide it’s what you want to do, I have no doubt that you’re going to do it.” After the assembly, Small met for lunch with the auction winners, and later attended a private reception and pre-release screening of the DreamWorks film “Bridge of Spies,” starring Tom Hanks, at La Jolla’s new luxury cinema, The LOT.

Solana Beach company offers SEAL-style strategic skills training BY KRISTINA HOUCK Have you ever wondered what it would be like to train as a Navy SEAL? Thanks to a Solana Beach company, now you can find out. Strategic Operations Skills Training, or SOST, stems from The Jenks Group, a Solana Beach-based consulting company headed by local entrepreneur Sharon Jenks. The program was originally developed so executives could learn how to apply the strategic principles that keep special operations forces successful on the battlefield to their business. “Think about where you’re putting your time and your energy every single day,” said Jenks, who founded The Jenks Group in 1993. “Is it working?” Four years in development, the program previously collaborated with park rangers in Utah when the company was based in Northern California. After Jenks relocated to Solana Beach in 2013, the company brought former Navy SEALs on board. With instruction by retired SEALs, the program uses a realistic battlefield on a San Diego film studio lot, complete with special effects to heighten the experience for participants. Through the two-day program, executives participate in physically and mentally challenging exercises modeled on successful military strategies, such as how to handle an AR15 rifle and how to operate as a team to clear an area and subdue hostile forces. These challenges help executives close the six primary gaps that Jenks said are at the root of all corporate performance issues: discipline, focus, trust, training, governance and strategic effectiveness. “Because we’ve been doing strategic planning for so long, we have realized that over time, executive teams are becoming less focused,” said Jenks, adding that access to technology may be to blame. “It is creating disconnection with the teams. They aren’t fully present when they’re in the room.” The educational experience is tailored for every company. One-day programs are also now available for executives looking for a new, more effective approach to achieving cor-

ty and shows participants how to safely handle, load and fire a weapon. Participants are then placed in real-life scenarios, such as a home invasion, that develop self-awareness, decision-making and hand-eye coordination. Groups of friends and family members have gone through the program, even firefighters and sheriff’s officials, Jenks said. Participants must be over the age of 21 and have a valid U.S. passport. “It creates awareness so you can make sure you stay safe,” Jenks said.

For more about SOST Training for executives, visit sosttraining.com; for more about the SOST Experience, visit www.sostexperience.com. A portion of the proceeds from both programs goes to the Navy SEAL Foundation. “I like helping people,” Jenks said. “When I started my business, it was because I wanted to help companies get better at what they did, I wanted to help individuals grow in their careers. With these programs, I’m able to help more people.”

porate goals. “We’re very flexible because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all for companies,” Jenks said. Because of the program’s success, Jenks has launched the SOST Experience, a unique self-defense course. A separate entity, the SOST Experience offers individuals or groups who want to test their knowledge, ability and skill in a hyper-realistic environment.

A Del Mar native is among three University of California students who will be working with scientists in the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources to study food security, nutrition education and agricultural research and extension. UC Berkeley graduate students Erika Brown, a Del Mar native, and Matthew Shapero, and UC Davis senior Jay Gelvezon will each receive a $4,000 fellowship through the university’s Global Food Initiative. “It is imperative to get students involved in UC ANR’s activities to move the world toward food security for all and a more sustainable future,” said Glenda Humiston, UC vice president for Agriculture and Natural Resources. “The fresh ideas that the UC Global Food Initiative fellows contribute will help us extend what we learn through research to improve the health of Californians.” Brown, a native of Del Mar, will work closely with Lorrene Ritchie, director of the UC ANR Nutrition Policy Institute, on a student food-security research project. In spring 2015, nearly 9,000 students from all 10 UC campuses participated in a survey designed to document the prevalence of food insecurity among students and to identify characteristics of those students affected. Brown, a public health graduate student at UC Berkeley, will help analyze the survey results. Since arriving at UC Berkeley, she has worked with several organizations in the Bay Area, including the San Francisco Food Security Taskforce, to identify and eliminate barriers to achieving food security.

Best-selling ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ author comes home to San Diego • Tess Gerritsen to discuss new thriller, “Playing With Fire,” on Nov. 12 at Jewish Community Center BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ She’s received the NERO and the RITA awards, been nominated for the Macavity and the Edgar, and none other than Stephen King has said she is better than Michael Crichton — and invited her to play her fiddle in his Rock Bottom Remainders band. Her books have been published in 40 countries and sold more than 25 million copies. And her two most famous characters, Rizzoli and Isles, are now the leads in a hit TV show by the same name. Who is she? If you guessed Tess Gerritsen, you are right. At 2 p.m. Nov. 12, Gerritsen returns to San Diego to speak and sign copies of her new book, “Playing With Fire,” at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Join her for a discussion of the book and a performance of the musical piece, “Incendio,” that she wrote to complement the novel. An old friend of ours who has keynoted and taught at the La Jolla Writers Conference twice, Gerritsen recently sat down to answer a few of our questions. You are an MD. How and why did you transition into writing? I knew I was a writer when I was 7 years old, but I come from immigrant Chinese parents who didn’t think that writing was a safe career. I chose my second-favorite career path, into the sciences. While on maternity leave from my work as a doctor, I wrote my first novel. A few novels later, I was published — and decided not to go back to medicine. There is a story that goes with your transition from romance to suspense. Can you share it, please? I had dinner with a homicide detective who’d been traveling in Russia. He told me that children were vanishing in Moscow, and Russian police thought the kids were being kidnapped and sacrificed as organ donors for rich patients. I was so horrified by the story that I knew it was my next book — and it was definitely not a romance novel. “Harvest” marked my debut on best-seller lists, and taught me that I really am a thriller writer. Romance has the biggest market share. Why the transition to suspense/thriller genre? Even when I was writing romance, there was always a murder or two in my stories, so I know I was meant to write suspense. Also, I found many more readers as a suspense novelist. The characters in your stand-alone books are often terrifying. What is it like to live with such characters for the months of writing a book? It’s a bit disconcerting. To understand an evil character, I really have to get inside his

The idea for her new book, “Playing With Fire,” came to her in a nightmare, she said. Courtesy photo head, but that means he also gets into my head. It changes your perspective on the world. When you see it through the eyes of a predator, everything and everyone looks different. You write both stand-alone novels and your “Rizzoli & Isles” books. What is the primary difference between writing stand-alone and series books? Now that I’m expected to write the “Rizzoli & Isles” series, my stand-alone books are my personal projects, the stories that I write for myself because they really mean something to me. “Bone Garden” was one story I loved writing, about the history of medicine and what it was like to be a doctor in the brutal era before anesthesia and antibiotics. “Playing With Fire” is another project I had to write, because the story held me captive until I did write it. Jane and Maura are very real to both your readers and to viewers — and their friendship is a huge part of that. To you, what is the most important aspect of their dynamic? That they are both strong, capable women who are the best at what they do — and they respect each other. See AUTHOR, page 16

Del Mar man aims to immortalize uncle’s civil-rights role via film BY KRISTINA HOUCK Like many other young Americans, Brian Jenkins learned about the civil rights movement in school. But he also heard firsthand stories from his uncle, John Witeck. Witeck’s journey to Selma, Ala., shaped his life. Now, in an effort to preserve an important piece of his family’s past, the Del Mar director is sharing the story in a new film called, “Answering the Call.” “It was crazy that somebody in my family, who I looked up to, witnessed a major piece of American history,” said Jenkins, who has lived in Del Mar for two years. “I knew that one day I wanted to make a film about his march in the movement.” John Witeck was only a second-year student at the University of Virginia when civil rights protesters clashed with police officers. He watched news reports from March 7, 1965, or “Bloody Sunday,” and witnessed protesters being beaten and bloodied. Inspired by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to action, Witeck, fellow students and members of the university’s religious community drove to Selma and joined the movement. Witeck attended King’s rally at Brown Chapel. And the day after the rally, Jenkins said his uncle was nearly killed by a group of men because of his support for the civil rights movement. Though the film will follow his uncle’s journey, the project has become Jenkins’ answer to his own call. An Indiana native, Jenkins started his career in music. As the owner of the record label Riot House Records, he helped develop a vinyl-collecting documentary called “Records Collecting Dust” last year.

“Answering the Call” marks his directorial debut. Jenkins said he was inspired by his uncle’s story at an early age. He recalled hearing the tale from his mother when he was in high school. “I always grew up hearing these stories about my uncle,” Jenkins remembered. “He’s the most kind and loving person I know.” Although Witeck was in Selma for just four days, the trip inspired his life’s work. After returning home and graduating from college in Virginia, Witeck studied Asian studies in Hawaii, where he also became involved in civil rights issues. “That was really the catalyst to what he would do for the rest of his life,” Jenkins said. “It’s something that I wanted to document for him to have.” Jenkins will begin shooting in the start of 2016. He plans to return to Selma with his uncle to retrace his steps. The film will also examine the state of voting rights in the United States. With a completion date slated for the end of next year, Jenkins plans to submit the film to festivals and also aims to release the documentary digitally and to theaters. To help cover the expenses, he’s established a Indiegogo fundraising campaign. “I hope people take a leap of faith,” Jenkins said. “You never know when you open your heart to something how it will change you.” For more about the film, visit www.answeringthecallselma.com.

DM-SB Rotary Bocce Tournament raises Local resident joins staff more than $50K to help veterans, youth of La Jolla Institute More than 200 bocce ball players, friends and volunteers ventured out under leaden skies Oct. 4 for a good cause, Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary’s annual Turf Bocce Tournament. Besides the fun and competition of the games, the players, sponsors, and donors raised more than $50,000 to benefit Reality Changers, Just In Time for Foster Youth, Operation Game On, and a number of other youth, community, and international projects to assist others. Del Mar Mayor Al Corti and Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks challenged Solana Beach Deputy Mayor David Upper left, first-place winners Barbara Blakely and Steve Zito and Councilmember Peter Zahn to the first game.

Mallett and head referee Paul Butler. The other 78 teams then began play on more than 26 bocce courts laid out on the Del Mar Horsepark’s grand prix grass field. After many games, a few rain delays, lunch, and many silent auction bids, the final championship game was played, with the Katherine McGee Design team of Barbara Blakeley and Steve Bagwell winning first place. Coming in second was the Just in Time for Foster Youth team of Marquelle Edwards and Steven Silva. Winning the Consolation Bracket was the First Citizens Bank team of Mike Spacciapolli and Tony Perez. After the tournament, Don Wells, executive director of Just In Time For Foster Youth, wrote, “Thanks to DMSB Rotary members for their continued support and for creating such a wonderful community experience for our youth.“ Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary is a leadership organization made up of local business, professional and civic leaders who meet regularly, form friendships, and, through that, get things done in our community and the world.

Pandurangan Vijayanand (Vijay), M.D., Ph.D., has been appointed to the position of associate professor in the Division of Vaccine Discovery at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, the Institute announced today. “With landmark funding for his work, we are delighted to secure Vijay’s appointment here at the La Jolla Institute,” said Mitch Kronenberg, Ph.D., president and chief scientific officer of the La Jolla Institute. “Vijay is a very accomplished physician-scientist who, in addition to a distinct and powerful skill set, brings a unique perspective to biomedical research that is inspired by his Dr. Pandurangan frontline experience caring for patients. We are fortunate to Vijayanand. have him as a member of our faculty.” A pioneering scientist and committed pulmonologist, Vijay, a Carmel Valley resident, brings to bear the full power of new and innovative genomics tools to understand, diagnose and treat pulmonary disease such as asthma, lung cancer and infectious disease. His laboratory has developed a number of techniques to study the molecular profiles of circulating and airway immune cells from patients with asthma and other diseases, using fewer cells than was possible previously. This makes it easier to obtain sufficient material for detailed genetic studies.

A holiday that is celebrated throughout Mexico to honor the dead is now coming to Solana Beach. Co-sponsored by La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation and the Parks & Recreation Commission, the city’s inaugural Dia de los Muertos celebration is slated for Nov. 1 at La Colonia Park. “Dia de los Muertos plans to share the rich, traditional holiday by inviting local residents together with the Solana Beach community at large to design and decorate altars on the bleachers at La Colonia Park, paying homage to loved ones who have already left,” explained Tracy Weiss, a member of the event committee. The first-ever event will include chalk drawings on the sidewalk for impromptu displays. There will be live entertainment with performances by an Aztec dance troupe, a Mariachi band and a Ballet Folklórico ensemble. There will also be a screening of the 2014 animated film, “The Book of Life.” Event organizers expect 800 to 1,000 people to participate in the occasion. Many of the organizers have deep roots

in the community. Through the festivities, they hope to honor their ancestors who helped create La Colonia de Eden Gardens. “It’s become a very important part of our culture,” said Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation. His wife, Solana Beach native Mary Ann Aguilar, initially suggested the community celebrate the holiday with an annual event. “This is becoming a way to unite the founding families and the families that used to live here.” “We have a story to be told,” added Solana Beach native Lisa Montes. “We are the oldest neighborhood in Solana Beach. There’s much history.” Dia de los Muertos will take place from noon to 4 p.m. at La Colonia Park, 715 Valley Ave. in Solana Beach. Other event sponsors include H.G. Fenton Company, SDG&E and the MiraCosta College Foundation To reserve an altar space, contact Brittney Rojo at brittneyrojo@yahoo.com or Marina Huesias at marina.huesias@gmail. com. Chalk altar space will also be available the day of the event. No registration is required.

Cathedral Catholic student receives Girl Scout Silver Award for project ]The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn, and this was recently awarded to Jennifer DeSantis, a freshman at Cathedral Catholic High School and a varsity rower at San Diego Rowing Club. Jennifer’s project sought to raise awareness about the need for, and support the creation of, a visual library at a memory care facility for the elderly. Having often visited this particular residential facility, Jennifer noticed residents would gravitate towards printed material that was colorful and filled with pictures rather than words, but she also noticed there was very little available for them. Jennifer De Santis built two bookcases for a “I watched a resident flipping memory-care senior facility and stocked them through a travel brochure. She would look at the pictures and when she got with books that had lots of appealing photos and to the end of the eight-page brochure, illustrations. Courtesy photo she would flip it over and start again. These residents could not remember plot lines, but they could still enjoy books, especially those that take you to different places. Some pictures could even stir up old memories. Most of all, these pictures could help transport these people out of their rooms.” Thus, she decided to create a library for the two wings at the facility. Jennifer accomplished her project by a long recycling effort where she regularly gathered the plastics, cans and glass of family, friends, and neighbors and hauled them to a local recycling center. She also worked as a pet sitter and applied for and received a book grant from Better World Books. She used the money she earned to visit various book sales at libraries all over the county and received a donation of books from the Rancho Penasquitos library. After delivering the two bookcases she built, Jennifer loaded them with almost 200 books. The books ranged from art, design and architecture, to photography of people, places and animals. As an Independent Girl Scout, or Juliette as the girls are sometimes known, Jennifer developed her project based on Girl Scout guidelines that encourage girls to explore their community for an issue to address, identify the cause, and tackle the issue in a way that creates a lasting change for the better. This is Jennifer’s ninth year as a member of the San Diego Girl Scouts. She has recently bridged to Senior Girl Scout; she received her Bronze Award in 2013. The Girl Scouts of San Diego will recognize all the successful scouts countywide at the yearly Silver Award Ceremony in June where they will receive their official council-issued certificates and pins.

Carmel Valley’s Adeline Bailey, Charlotte Bailey, Sara Fultz, Julia Krenek, Ilana Roberts, Sania Dogra, and Misha Klowas raised awareness about food allergies with the Teal Pumpkin project. A teal pumpkin on the porch signals that a safe Halloween treat is available at that home. Courtesy photo

Carmel Valley girl turns to teal to advocate for safe Halloween FARE, the leading organization in food allergy education, is leading The Teal Pumpkin Project this Halloween, encouraging households to offer a non-treat food item as a fun and safe alternative option for trick-or-treaters with food allergies. Many popular Halloween candies contain some of the most common allergens. Also, many miniature or fun-size versions of candies contain ingredients different from their fullsize counterparts and may not have labels, so it is difficult for parents to see whether these items are safe for their children with food allergies. Charlotte Bailey, a fourth-grader at Solana Pacific School, was contacted by Fox 5 News to teach the community about FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project on Oct. 27. Charlotte has a lifethreatening allergy to peanuts, and she and her family have worked with FARE over the years to raise awareness about food allergies. Supporting the Teal Pumpkin Project is a simple gesture that can have a big impact. As Charlotte advised: Get a pumpkin, real or fake, and paint it teal. This lets trick-or-treaters know that your home is offering a nonfood treat. As Charlotte said, some great examples are stickers, pencils, glow sticks, note pads, erasers, fun straws, bubbles, temporary tattoos and spider rings. Visit tealpumpkin.org.

Blood Bank seeking talented performers Torrey Pines varsity repeats last-minute win at homecoming for Chargers blood drive in November BY WALTER BAYS It was homecoming at Ed Burke field when the Falcons hosted the El Camino Wildcats, and the homecoming king announced at halftime was none other than quarterback Ben Spitters. So it was fitting that just as in the previous week against Oceanside, Spitters led his team to a comefrom-behind victory in the final minute of the game. It was an exciting contest between two evenly matched teams, with the lead changing hands repeatedly. Torrey Pines had more offense, 250 yards versus 192 for El Camino, but also lost two fumbles. Both teams struggled to make sustained drives, thwarted either by the other’s defense or by penalties, but striking quickly on big plays. The Falcons got on the board first. After a tackle by Jared Rosen and then a big sack, El Camino had to punt from their 15, giving Torrey Pines excellent field position near midfield. Jacob Montes ran 26 yards and kicker Luc D’Arcy split the uprights from 42 yards to make the score 3-0. As the second quarter got underway, the Wildcats

Ben Spitters hands off to Luke Duerr for a 25-yard gain. Photo by Anna Scipione blocked another field goal attempt and then drove downfield, scoring on a 26-yard run to go ahead 7-3. Torrey Pines came back 80 yards with Matthew Feeler running 27 and 35 yards, scoring a touchdown. Falcons 10-7. In the third period, a fumbled punt return gave El Camino the ball on the Falcon 44. They moved down to the 3 but couldn’t punch it in, settling for a field goal to tie the game. Another fumble set up the Wildcats on the Falcon 23 and things looked bleak. But the Falcon defense held firm, defensive back Beau Morgans prevented a completion on 3rd and 19, and El Camino settled for another field goal. Wildcats 13-10. With under two minutes in the game on his own 38, Spitters looked for receivers as the pass rush closed in. He got the pass away as he was being hit, dumping it off to Feeler, who took it 13 yards for a vital first down. Spitters hit Feeler again for 19 yards, Michael Gadinas for 19 yards, and Gadinas for 7 yards, making it second and 3 from the Wildcat 9-yard line with 17 seconds left on the clock. It was Spitters to Gadinas in the end zone, another D’Arcy extra point, and Torrey Pines took the win 17-13. This week the Falcons play at Mt. Carmel.

“Rizzoli & Isles” is now a successful TV series. What makes a writer willing to turn her characters over to others to bring to the screen? When a producer offers to turn your books into a television series, it’s pretty hard to say no! In my case, the producer (Bill Haber) had a strong respect for the heart of the series: two women professionals who also happen to be friends. There’ve been changes in the characters themselves, but that relationship and that competence has been key. How much input do you have in the development and writing of the series? None. While the pilot episode was based on my book “The Apprentice,” the episodes since then are written by their own writing team, and they’ve felt the freedom to veer away from the books. The premise of your new book is fascinating. Tell our readers a bit about it. The idea came to me in a nightmare while I was in Venice. I dreamt I was playing my violin while a baby sat nearby. The music was strange and disturbing, and the baby suddenly transformed into a monster! Shaken by the dream, I spent the day walking the narrow streets of Venice and I ended up in the Jewish quarter, where there are memorials to the 246 Jews who were deported to death camps. In a flash, the whole story came to me. “Playing With Fire” is about Julia, a violinist who buys a yellowed sheet of handwritten music called “Incendio” in a Rome antique store. Back home in Boston, every time she plays it, her 3-year-old daughter goes berserk. Now Julia’s terrified of her own child, and her husband thinks Julia’s going insane. To save her family, Julia must delve into the history of “Incendio.” Where does the music come from? Why does it seem to carry such terrifying pow-

er? Her search takes her to Venice, and to a dark time in Italian history: WWII, when thousands of Italian Jews lost their lives. Woven into the book is the tragic love story of Lorenzo and Laura, who find that history stands between them. It’s the music “Incendio” that links both past and present, and the long-lost secrets Julia uncovers will threaten her life. A little-known fact about you is that you play the fiddle. Tell us about the music you wrote to go with the new book. It is a compelling piece. While writing “Playing With Fire,” I described “Incendio” in such great detail that it must have worked its way into my subconscious. I woke up one morning with the melody itself in my head. It took me six weeks to compose the 98-bar piece (for violin and piano). I shared the piece with a London music producer, and he immediately suggested some internationally renowned violinists who would want to record it. Yi-Jia Susanne Hou, prizewinning concert violinist, had both the fire and passion for the project, and she even contributed her own violin cadenza to the composition. The 7-minute recording of “Incendio” is now available on iTunes and Amazon. What one piece of advice would you share with aspiring authors? Wait for your characters to speak to you. Sit in a quiet room. When they finally start talking, that’s when you start writing. What’s next from Tess Gerritsen? I’m working on the 12th “Rizzoli and Isles” novel. It should be out next year.

Letters to the editor/Opinion Sand on beaches a costly ‘duneboggle’ Seaweeders’ work truly appreciated Surfers gotta surf. Engineers gotta engineer. Beach walkers want sand under their toes and bluff residents want to defy nature. This massive project is like motherhood and apple pie. Who could possibly be against protecting our beaches? But this duneboggle is doomed to fail. We are hardly the first area to face the beach erosion issue. In other areas, hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sand have been placed, only to erode again. Revetments have been placed to protect beaches, only to find that the loss of sand downdrifts from the eroding hills causes the beach to disappear anyway. Isn’t the only plausible, long-term solution (gasp) managed retreat? Won’t we eventually get there anyway? Let’s not forget that we also have a math problem here. In Solana, that means almost a million cubic yards over 1.7 miles at a cost of almost $100 million, for whom the primary benefit will go to the 100 or so private residences perched on edge of the bluffs above. But it seems we think that it’s OK, because half of the funding will come from the feds with the other half rounded up from various state and local sources. After all, why should anyone have to suffer their own consequence for building (or buying) their house on sand or unstable ground when they can make someone else pay for it through the political process? What happens when this becomes a line item under scrutiny as another case of economic inequity? And on the subject of pain, what do Solana and Encinitas beachgoers think their experience will be like during the movement and distribution of the initial 700,000 cubic yards of sand? Do they think they will just wake up one morning and it will appear? How many ships spewing how much oil into our coastal waters, how many trucks and bulldozers exhausting diesel soot and the construction sounds that will be anything but the relaxation we associate with our beaches? And that’s just to get started. My personal favorite thread in the article describes how we don’t know what the impact will really be. We’ll just monitor and adapt as we spend $167 million of money that wasn’t ours to spend. Dave Squires, Del Mar

Why are there so few letters in reply? Re your editorial page of Oct. 22: Ralph Peck, a longtime contributor to that page, asked why there are so few replies to his and other letters, an observation that has also been frustrating me over the last 20 years. Peck is one of only three or four readers who have responded to my nearly 200 letters, and since I’ve exchanged thoughts with him on several subjects, I read his most recent letter with more than casual interest. For one reason, as a writer of editorial views in newspapers and magazines for more than 50 years, I am convinced that the letters page is the most telling measure of reader interest and the relationship between a publication and its readers, and thus its contribution to the community. It is also my observation that in recent years, the published views of readers have been in telling decline, particularly letters that are in response to others. A thoughtful letter on an issue of widespread interest appears, and, as Peck observes, more often than not there is not a single response. It is my conviction that the real reason is not lack of interest, but the nominal time and energy it takes to sit down and write a letter of agreement and why, or disagreement and why. Countless friends have been cheering my published views for 20 years, yet only three or four have taken the time to say so (or otherwise) in print. Call it inertia. Or as in politics, apathy, the lethargy that allows questionable candidates to win elections. I’m submitting this as a wake-up call, because our cherished freedom of the press can be perpetuated only by We The People. “Silence is the virtue of fools.” — Francis Bacon Jim Donovan, Del Mar

Insult, injury and fiscal irresponsibility Shame on the Solana Beach City Council for cowardly hiding behind an unheard-of policy to deny the wood carving proposal unanimously approved and recommended by the Public Arts Commission. Why have an Arts Commission if you don’t even listen to them? How slimy is it that the campaign manager for several council members appeared at the hearing to influence the vote? To make matters worse, the council doubled down after rejecting the donated maintenance free art: They spent your taxpayer funds to purchase and install four Torrey pines, one of which was 3,000 pounds, which of course will need a lifetime of water and maintenance. Craig A. Nelson

I would like to thank the Seaweeders for their dedication to enhancing the quality of life for our City’s residents. Any community benefits greatly by the involvement and volunteerism of its citizens, and for that, all of the Seaweeders are to be commended. While I understand the frustration some have felt at the Council’s decision regarding the proposed tree carving, I also feel compelled to take responsibility for much of that frustration as it should more appropriately be directed towards City staff, not our Council. Specifically, the review process outlined to the Seaweeders for the tree stump proposal was determined by City staff. This included two meetings by the Public Arts Commission (PAC) but no City Council Public Arts Committee review. Had staff sought Council Committee input, the entire process may have been averted. Indeed, a policy not to accept permanent donated art on the Coastal Rail Trail has existed for years. Unfortunately, this was not conveyed to the Seaweeders. For that, I take responsibility on behalf of City staff. Staff did attempt to make it clear that the decision to approve or deny the proposal would ultimately be made by the Council. This type of review process is intended to be deliberative with the final and oftentimes difficult Council decision occasionally being made contrary to the desires of those supporting a given proposal. If this process was not made clear to the Seaweeders, again, I apologize on behalf of City staff. Regarding the decision itself, it was my observation that comments made by Council during the meeting were not exclusive to the topic of donated public art. My recollection is that many of Council’s comments were focused on the artwork proposal itself: its appropriateness for the location, aesthetics, uniqueness, liability considerations, and its permanence, all of which are criteria specified in the Master Art Policy upon which the Council’s decision to accept an artwork proposal should be based. While I understand the Seaweeders’ disappointment at the decision reached, I believe it is unfair to characterize the decision as being based solely upon a newly desired policy against donated public art. Most importantly, I feel it is necessary to take responsibility for the process and the manner in which it was conducted, as this was directed by City staff, not the Council. I sincerely hope that this experience will not discourage the Seaweeders from continuing to pursue opportunities to beautify our community. Although there may not always be agreement on how best to achieve that objective, I am quite certain that everyone shares the common goal of making Solana Beach the best possible city in which to live, work and play. Gregory Wade, City Manager City of Solana Beach

Guest commentary/Opinion

Stumping the criticism: SB’s policy on donated art not a secret BY MAYOR LESA HEEBNER I would like to address the criticism made by a few individuals against the Solana Beach City Council regarding our rejection of a tree stump carving. The topic of donated art is not new, and the City’s policy is not secret or unknown. It was discussed at great length by the Council and the community when the last piece of donated art, the seagull at Fletcher Cove, was considered. Since that time, city policy has been to not accept donated art, and that policy has been conveyed to numerous individuals and organizations over the past seven years who wanted to donate plaques, benches, memorials and other art. Unfortunately, the policy was not conveyed to the Seaweeders months ago. City Manager Greg Wade has since apologized to the Seaweeders for this oversight on behalf of Staff, and confirmed that the City Council was only recently notified this stump art would be considered. On behalf of the Council, we are very sorry the Seaweeders were not informed about the policy. In an effort to prevent any future misunderstandings, the Council gave direction at the last Council meeting for this policy to be published. Council members cited numerous reasons for their decision regarding the stump carving, not just the art donation policy. The quality, location and permanent vs. temporary nature of the piece were all mentioned, which are all criteria outlined in the Master Arts Policy. We value the volunteer efforts of all our Commissioners. However, all Commissions are advisory. We have accepted most and rejected some of the suggestions of Commissions throughout the years after reviewing them. Discretion always lies with the Council. This is not new! This is the same for development proposals. Many developers spend a lot of time and money on project proposals and while we approve the vast majority, there are some that are sent back for redesign or rejected. Are we to accept every-

thing that comes our way based on the amount of effort expended? Or financial considerations? Or neighbor input? Of course all are taken into consideration, as well as the appropriate Findings or Criteria, when we are handed the responsibility to evaluate the whole picture and vote. This is our job. The Public Arts Commission rarely has votes that are not unanimous. Past Commissioners state they felt very uncomfortable voting “no” on something when the artist, commissioner or staff member proposing it was sitting right there, and that they felt many “unworthy” projects were accepted because of this peer pressure. So the tough work comes to the Council to evaluate most proposals. The only controversies I recall have been from donated art. Our city is beautiful and desirable, and our property values reflect this. We can attract world-class art like Palm Desert, Grand Junction and Seattle, known for their Temporary Art Programs. When the Public Arts Commission presents us with a fine piece of temporary art in the right location, I look forward to voting “yes” on it. The better art we install, the better proposals we will see in the future. This is what I aspire to for our public art, not “good enough,” as one proponent said of the carving. As well as Commissioners, the public was asked to weigh in on this proposal. I happen to walk the Coastal Rail Trail multiple times per week, so asked over 30 people who were reading the posted proposal their opinion. A good 90 percent said they did not like it and/or would prefer a shade tree, especially given there is a bench right there. When asked if they submitted their comments, each said they did not feel comfortable submitting critical remarks. In my evaluation, I heard and read far more “no” comments than “yes” comments. It is unfortunate that some were critical of one individual speaking out because she worked on Council campaigns. Ms. Gerri Retman does not lose her right to speak because

she volunteered to work on campaigns. Moreover, this comment implies Council members can’t think on our own, which I take exception to. As is widely known, Ms. Retman and I disagree on plenty! On this, we happened to agree. She exercised her First Amendment right to express her opinion, and there is nothing “untoward” or “fishy” about it. Plenty of people who worked on my campaign and that of other council members spoke in favor of the proposal, and they were not called out by name and denigrated. Ms. Retman is a hardworking volunteer for our community, having served for years on the Parks & Rec Commission and led the 20-plus-year effort to save as open space the land to the north of our city, known as the Gateway, now a park due to her efforts. Finally, the phrases in the comment letters published in this paper since the Council vote are suspiciously similar. This criticism and efforts to mislead are an organized effort on the part of certain political opponents. Consideration of a public art project is by no means a political issue. It is a routine procedure of the City Council. However, these individuals are attempting to politicize and personalize it, to turn it into a divisive burn on this Council …the same Council that built the Rail Trail, the pedestrian bridges, and upgrades to the Highway 101, Fletcher Cove Park, Fletcher Cove Community Center and other capital improvements, and work hard to preserve the quality of life for our residents and businesses. Does it seem that the level of nastiness against the Council brought about by this tree stump project might be out of proportion to the level of the issue? Does it seem the comments are unreasonably personal, mean-spirited and vindictive? Please consider the source of many of these comments and know that your Council is dedicated to working hard to keep Solana Beach a desirable place to live and work, and sometimes that means saying “no.”

STATIONS continued from page 1 ac event, that extra time significantly drops the chances of survival. “It’s hugely important to create a better web of fire stations,” Emerald said. In 2011, the San Diego City Council adopted the findings and recommendations in Citygate Report, a study of fire service standards and response coverage. As a result of the findings, the council established a five-year implementation plan to design and construct 19 fire stations. The plan was stalled by the recession, but the city is now ready to move forward with the support of voters. As Emerald said, the economy is improving and the city is trying to play catch-up on replacing a lot of the crumbling infrastructure. Chris Olson, from the city’s office of the independent budget analyst, said the city’s “backlog” includes street and sidewalk repairs, stormwater system repairs, municipal building improvements, park improvements and affordable housing. “The bill is quite large

— $5 billion to do all the repairs to the city infrastructure that has been neglected — and that doesn’t include fire stations,” Emerald said. Two of the 19 recommended stations have been fully funded by community developer fees: proposed stations at Judicial and Nobel in the University area, and at Carmel Valley and Winecreek Road in the Black Mountain Ranch area. The average fire station comes with a $12 million price tag. Each new station would be staffed with 12 full-time firefighters, with annual operating costs of $2.2 million. Alan Arrollado, a San Diego firefighter for 27 years, said the city has seen tremendous growth. The growth is good for the vibrance of the city, but as a firefighter, Arrollado said he sees that growth only as risk. Arrollado said San Diego is the eighth largest city in the country, and there are major metropolitan risks here: Fire season is year-round, and there are 900 miles of canyon-rim

homes and 330 miles of coverage with more than 1 million residents to protect. Call volumes have grown so much in the past 10 to 15 years that the department is having trouble meeting all of the city’s needs, he said. Difficulties exist responding to calls from Station 41 in Sorrento Valley, fighting UTC and Mira Mesa traffic; the Station 35 truck from UTC gets stuck reaching Torrey Hills from Interstate 5; and Station 24 has challenges reaching the area on busy Del Mar Heights Road. “It presents problems not just here, but all over the city,” Arrollado said. “Seconds are property and lives lost. The risks are real here.” “We cannot continue to operate with this kind of deficit and expect our communities will remain safe,” Emerald said. Olson said the city’s independent budget analyst office looked at a variety of options for financing the fire stations, including a quarter-cent sales tax, which would raise $68 million a year; and the repeal of the People’s Ordinance, which subsidizes trash collection in the city and

would collect $32 million a year. All scenarios, including the GO bond, require two-thirds voter approval. The bond would ensure that a large amount of money would be available for the city to spend. The bond would show up on residents’ property tax bills. The average property in San Diego is $470,000, which would amount to $25 a year for the average homeowner, or $5 for every $100,000 in assessed value. City Engineer James Nagelvoort said the city is also studying ways to streamline how the infrastructure is delivered. The city is considering the delivery method of “DesignBuild,” in which a single contract with a contractor can implement the project, significantly reducing the overall project timeline and providing cost savings by avoiding multiple procurement, design and construction processes. The MACC process (Multiple Award Construction Contracts) further shortens the timeline by employing a short list of prequalified design-build teams to bid on and implement projects. In 2014, the

city successfully used the MACC process for the design and construction of some large water, sewer and stormwater drainage pipeline projects. Nagelvoort said the city is also working with the fire department to standardize fire facilities. “We’ve been treating them like custom homes,” he said. “That doesn’t always equate into efficiency and cost savings.” The goal, as Emerald said, is to fast-track the design and construction process, getting the stations built and staffed to ensure that safety needs are being met in all communities. Chair Kathryn Burton noted that the city might run into a problem with available land, especially in Torrey Hills. The minimum lot size needed for the typical fire station is .79 acres. Mainar and Emerald acknowledged that finding land is a challenge. Sometimes they have to move forward with parcels that are smaller than they would like, and they have to go vertical. Emerald said the city’s real estate assets department has been involved since last summer looking to identify available properties.

PROJECT

continued from page 1

buildings, reduce building heights, relocate buildings, downsize apartments and construct underground parking, among other ideas. “This project blocks my views, destroys our neighborhood’s character, sets a horrible precedent and was undertaken without the slightest interest in minimizing view impairment per our city’s ordinance,” said Sylvia Stevens. “Please don’t reward Fenton’s brazen strategy of ignoring the character of our neighborhood and starting with the biggest project possible, only to make minor concessions and call them compromises.” Stevens was one of 15 appellants, or people who filed view assessment claims, after story poles were installed June 15 on the site and a 30-day public notice was sent to residents within a 1,000-foot radius of the property. The original deadline to file a claim was July 24, but the city extended that to Aug. 7, after a request from the community. Three of the 15 appellants have since withdrawn their claims. The claims stem from south of the project site at Del Mar Legends and Turfwood, north of the project site and east of the project site. “The negative impact this will have on the value of my property is substantial,” said Stevens, who lives in the Del Mar Legends community. “The negative impact this will have on my quality of life is immeasurable.” She added that Solana Beach “is not UTC or Mission Valley.” “We love our green space, our open space and our unique situation,” she said. “To build an overscaled development that robs us of our views is unreasonable and against the ordinance.” Appellant Ray Williams, also from Del Mar Legends, agreed. “It’s just going to be a junior Mission Valley,” he said. “These buildings are too big, too massive and totally out of scale for this neighborhood.” Appellant Sherry Lynes couldn’t attend the meeting, but her three-page letter was read into the record. She asked that the buildings be set farther from the bluff and reduced to two stories. “I strongly oppose the proposed height and proximity of this construction, as it will negatively affect every single view from every single window in my townhouse,” said Lynes, the owner of a condo in the Turfwood community. “The imposing nature of the Solana Highlands project, both height-wise and proximity-wise, will greatly diminish, and in some cases, block my view that I so cherish,” she added. “Instead of looking at the sky and enjoying the late afternoon sunsets, I will be looking at a huge apartment building.” Appellant Dana Flach said she bought her Turfwood condo more than 20 years ago because of the “beautiful views and open space.” “My home is the closest to the proposed redevelopment project,” she said. “These buildings, as proposed, will tower over me, creating a wall of cement instead of any view I have now.” Appellant John A. Wilson III, who lives north of the project site, said he would lose the primary view he’s enjoyed for 28 years if the project moved forward as proposed. “Please protect our views and our neighborhood,” he said. Tracy Stevens, daughter of Sylvia Stevens and also a resident of Del Mar Legends, said all claimants are “getting screwed.” “This can’t possibly be the vision that we have for our city,” she said. “We’re all extremely disappointed in the process as pre-

sented by Fenton and hope that you can work to rectify it.” In an email after the meeting, project manager John La Raia said H.G. Fenton Company respects the commission’s decision. “We appreciate the time and care invested by the View Assessment Commissioners and respect the process that led to their decision,” he said. Dating to October 2010, H.G. Fenton Company has held 20 community meetings and engaged with about 200 community members, including all view claimants, LaRaia said. He said the company submitted 4,000 letters, fliers, door hangers and emails to neighbors within a minimum 300-foot radius of the property, reaching more than 1,000 residents and property owners. The company, LaRaia said, also offered to meet and discuss view issues with each claimant. Two refused to meet at their home, he said, and another claimant did not allow photos to be taken from his home. LaRaia noted that the plans direct traffic away from the nearby single-family neighborhood with the proposed location of the main entrance. Two driveways are planned on South Nardo Avenue, with the main entrance closest to Stevens Avenue. The project, he said, also increases the amount of onsite parking by 68 percent, compared with a 31 percent increase in residential units. “Those were a couple things we heard initially when we met with neighbors in the community,” he said. In response to the view assessment claims, the site plan has also been revised. An additional two-story building was added to reduce the mass of another building on the site, LaRaia explained. And a unit was also added to the building just north of the new building as well as the leasing center to reduce another building, he said. Still, claimants argued the applicant hasn’t done much to change their minds. “The developer claims they have made some concessions,” Williams said. “We’ve seen over and over again they really haven’t given an inch. “Nothing has been proposed that significantly alters the size and scope of the project. No buildings have been eliminated. No three-story buildings have been reduced in size except for a small corner. We implore you to look at the existing story poles. Nothing has really changed.” LaRaia refuted claims about the density of the project. He said that the project does not maximize the site, as plans propose 260 units rather than the maximum of 278 units. He also said that underground parking would be too costly. Shifting the buildings, he said, would hinder the site’s traffic circulation. “I don’t know if I’m ever going to make everybody 100 percent happy with this project,” LaRaia said. “I don’t think you’ve made any of them happy,” Commissioner Coad said in response. “We’re doing our best to plan a site that’s difficult to plan,” LaRaia responded. Of the five commissioners, four visited the homes of every claimant before the meeting started. Commissioner Gary Garber, who was appointed to a vacant position in September, failed to visit two of the seven properties that were discussed on the first day. “That is embarrassing to this committee and it’s embarrassing to you,” said resident Jim Ratzer, who previously served on

the View Assessment Commission. By the second day of the two-part meeting, Garber had visited Dana Flach’s residence. He volunteered to recuse himself from the discussion on the residence of Ray and Linda Williams because he was unable to visit their property. And at the request of his fellow commissioners, he also recused himself from the discussion on Flach’s residence, after it was noted he only saw her views from the outside of her home. Commissioners denied the project because they not only found it impaired multiple views, but that it was incompatible with the neighborhood character. “I cannot find that this project was designed and situated in such a manner to minimize view impairment. I find this for each one of the homes I visited,” Coad said. “I felt like the project itself as designed is, in fact, the view impairment.” After more than seven hours, the View Assessment Commission denied the project in a 5-0 vote. With the commission’s advisory vote, the City Council will ultimately make the final decision on the project.

ONE PASEO “The plan reflects the input we received from the community,” said Kilroy Vice President Jamas Gwilliam, referencing a series of large public workshops in which the developers shared a constructive dialogue with residents. Besides reduced bulk and scale, the plan includes focusing density on the project’s interior, softening the office building elevations, providing a great pedestrian experience and open space, and working to ensure the residential element blends into the surrounding neighborhood. Gwilliam said Kilroy has spent time refining the design of the residential homes, notably how they will be viewed from Del Mar Heights and High Bluff Drive with setbacks, reduced heights and landscaping. Ten percent of the residential will be affordable housing, dispersed throughout the project. “I’m happy with a lot of this project,” said board member Ken Farinsky. “There are things I’m not thrilled about but a lot of it has come out really quite well.” Farinsky said he especially liked the 62 percent reduction in retail use and how the office building’s elevations have been altered. In the scaled-down One Paseo, the project’s average daily trips (ADTs) have been reduced from 24,000 to 13,500. The Carmel Valley planning board had requested 18,000 ADTs and the settlement agreement reached with Donahue Schriber and community groups had proposed 14,000. Gwilliam is proud they are presenting a 43 percent reduction in ADTs. “We are still mitigating against the original 27,000 ADTs — that’s important to keep in mind,” Gwilliam said. “The mixed use allows for density without all of the trips happening at once.” According to their latest traffic study, Interstate 5 and Del Mar Heights Road would essentially perform at the same level as they do now, with One Paseo and its mitigations built. Conditions at Del Mar Heights and High Bluff would actually improve with the project and its mitigation efforts. Mitigations include changes like

continued from page 1

lengthening the left turn-pocket on Del Mar Heights onto High Bluff Drive and dual right-turn lanes on Del Mar Heights to northbound I-5, and adding a right-turn lane off I-5 onto Del Mar Heights. One resident in attendance complained that the reduced ADTs are just “smoke and mirrors” and said that there’s no way that the traffic will improve with the addition of a 1.1 million-square-foot development. Gwilliam said that it’s not that Kilroy is saying that the traffic will decrease, but that the delays will be fewer because of its proposed mitigations. To help with emergency response times, Kilroy proposes to install the traffic signal synchronization technology from Mango Drive to Torrey Pines High. The original project had funding to use the technology on 46 intersections, but now it will be used at eight intersections along that stretch of Del Mar Heights. Kilroy has also committed to providing a shuttle to address the lack of public transit in the area. It is looking to operate the shuttle during peak hours and possibly on an east-west route on Del Mar Heights, linking to the Solana Beach Coaster Station. Board member Shreya Sasaki reinforced that the public transit issue is very important, to the extent that it benefits the environment, the economy and workforce. Gwilliam also gave a brief presentation at the Oct. 20 Torrey Hills Community Planning Board meeting. “There is a lot about the project that is considered problematic, but the greatest one is traffic,” Chair Kathryn Burton said. “The reduction in ADTs is huge, and I have to say, as a member of the greater community, I’m grateful for that.” Burton voiced concern about One Paseo’s signage and wanted to ensure that the development sticks with the community’s signage guidelines. Gwilliam said the hope is to get the shovels into the ground next year, but a lot depends on the San Diego Planning Commission and City Council approval process.

Art San Diego in seventh year connecting collectors, enthusiasts

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego may have a growing art scene, but there’s only one time each year where art collectors and enthusiasts can enjoy work from more than 500 artists at one place, along with art labs, museum exhibitions and other events. Back for its seventh year, Art San Diego is expected to attract more than 15,000 people Nov. 5-8 at Balboa Park. “It’s the only kind of show like this in San Diego,” said Del Mar resident, Ann Berchtold, the show’s founder and director. “It’s become this once-a-year opportunity to find really great art in San Diego.” Art San Diego got its start in 2009. Before establishing the event, Berchtold managed L Street, a fine art gallery in downtown San Diego. She also cofounded San Diego Art Prize, an award that spotlights established and emerging San Diego artists. “I’ve always been on the business side of things, helping to curate and foster the local art scene,” said Berchtold, who has lived in Del Mar for 18 years. After attending an art fair called Art Basel Miami Beach, Berchtold decided to bring a similar event to San Diego. “I was taken aback by how massive that event was and what a catalyst it had been to Miami Beach in expanding its appreciation of art in the area,” she recalled. “I was inspired and thought that we could do something like this in San Diego.” With help from her business partner, Berchtold launched the inaugural Art San Diego seven years ago at the Grand Del Mar. Then called Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair, the show drew about 3,000 people. To expand the event, organizers changed the name and location the following year to Art San Diego at the downtown Hilton. “It’s very much a regional show,” Berchtold explained. “We try to showcase artists from both sides of the border as well as international artists that come to showcase their work in San Diego.” The event has grown every year, with attendance and art exhibitors both increasing by about 20 percent annually, Berchtold said. Art San Diego now attracts as many as 17,000 art people over the four-day run. About 60 exhibitors

Right: “Begadang” by Lindu & Iswanto are participating in this year’s event, including galleries from Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach. “I represent a lot of local artists,” said Thomas Sergott, the founder and director of Rancho Santa Fe-based private gallery Sergott Contemporary Art Alliance. His gallery will once again have a space at the art fair. “This is a venue to be seen locally, which is very important.” A longtime art collector, Sergott has transformed his Rancho Santa Fe house into a home for contemporary art. Founded in 2012, Sergott Contemporary Art Alliance is the gallery he houses out of his home. Although private, the gallery sponsors several public events throughout the year for local charities. In addition, Sergott also spends much of his time representing San Diego artists at international fairs, showing and selling their work. He plans to represent about 10 artists at Art San Diego, showcasing ceramic and glass artwork and a variety of paintings. “We’re developing a growing art community within San Diego,” Sergott said. The David Alan Collection, which is based in Solana Beach, will also be at the art fair. Located in the heart of Cedros Design District, the 15,000-square-foot store features furniture and woodcarvings. “We are excited to be presenting over 50 pieces in our

two booths, ranging from our ‘Lindu and Friends’ selection of life-affirming painting, to several pieces of our exquisite contemporary art furniture,” said owner David Bardwick, who opened the shop in 2003. “I want people to leave this show inspired, both about life itself and about art and the possibility of having beautiful objects surrounding them in their everyday lives,” he added. With this year’s theme of “Metamorphosis,” Art San Diego aims to honor the artistic history of San Diego’s past and present while look-

ing toward the future. In addition to exhibitors, the art fair will feature art labs and special exhibitions, including The Timeline Project, a wall installation 120 feet long and 8 feet high, built by San Diegobased ECOR Noble Environmental Technologies, with the graphic design by students from the Media Design School of Digital Arts at NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego. “It’s been a very interesting journey,” Berchtold said. “It’s gotten very large and I think it’s become an anticipated local event. There’s so much to see.” Art San Diego will take place Nov. 5-8 in the 60,000-square-foot Balboa Park Activity Center. General admission costs $25 online and $30 at the door for a three-day pass, or $20 online and $25 at the door for a one-day pass. Tickets cost $75 online and $85 at the door for the VIP opening night. Visit art-sandiego. com. For more about the David Alan Collection, visit thedavidalancollection.com.

Del Mar’s All Creatures Hospital to unveil updated look at Nov. 15 open house BY KRISTINA HOUCK All Creatures Hospital has cared for the community’s animals for more than three decades. Now that the Del Mar-based clinic has been completely remodeled, the hospital can continue to provide the best quality veterinary care for many years to come. “We finally have the facilities to match our level of practice,” said Dr. Michael Mulvany. All Creatures Hospital opened in 1983. Although the hospital has been refreshed over the years, this was the first time it was completely revamped. The modernization project launched last November and was completed in August. In that time, the two-story, nearly 5,000-square-foot building was completely updated, from the ceilings to the floors. Everything is new, from the building’s electrical and plumbing to the hospital’s equipment. “We turned it into a new building,” Mulvany said. “We fixed it up so it’s a stronger building that will hopefully last another 25 or 30 years.” Although the building

is the same size, hospital staff can now more effectively use the space. The building was originally designed as a small animal and equine hospital. Now, it’s fit for the dogs, cats and pocket pets All Creatures Hospital serves. “We’ve never been able to fully utilize the footprint of the hospital like we do now,” said Mulvany, noting that the hospital gained about 2,000 square feet in usable space after the building was updated. “There was a lot of wasted space.” With an emphasis on preventive medicine, All Creatures Hospital offers annual wellness exams, puppy and kitten health care packages, immunizations, senior pet programs and microchips. The first floor of the hospital now features an updated waiting room, treatment room, pharmacy and four exam rooms, which is one more than the hospital previously had. The hospital also offers dental and surgical suites for in-hospital procedures, and now that the remodel is complete, ample space for new boarding services. Offices are on the second floor.

Top: Registered veterinary technician Brittany Garcia with Bella. Right: Newly modernized All Creatures Hospital has been open since 1983. Courtesy photos Open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays, All Creatures Hospital offers 24-hour hospitalization. Six veterinarians and about two dozen staff members work at the hospital. “We see a lot of great dogs and cats,” said Mulvany, who has a yellow Labrador named Finn. “They’re all individuals.” All Creatures Hospital is a family-owned and operated business. Mulvany joined the hospital in 1984, one year after it opened. A Carmel Valley resident, he graduated from veterinary school in 1983. After a one-year medical and surgical internship at a 17-doctor hospital in Santa Cruz, he started with All Creatures Hospital and became the sole owner in

1997.

Local designer’s Keep the Peace Bedding helps couples rest easier BY KAREN BILLING Local interior designer Renae Farley has created a new product that helps couples sleep better together and stop fighting over the blanket. Understanding that not many pairs sleep at the same temperature, she created Keep the Peace Bedding, which uses a unique zipper to split comforters that individualize warmth for a better night’s rest. A San Diego native, Farley has lived and worked in North County for 30 years and launched Keep the Peace six weeks ago after years of enjoying her own customizable comforter with her husband. “It’s just been great; everybody’s just loved it,” Farley said. “It’s been fun to finally get it out there and see what people think about it.” Farley has been interested in design since she was 12 years old. Her father built the family’s house, and she helped her mother decorate and make it a home. A certified interior designer, she has her BFA in interior design from the Design Institute of San Diego and has spent the past 30 years doing high-end residential design, mainly with clients in Rancho Santa Fe. The idea for Keep the Peace started after she was married seven years ago and experienced the struggle many couples face at night. “I had always slept under a down comforter because I’m always freezing, and all my husband needed was a sheet or light blanket,” Farley said. When he would be “roasting” under the comforter, he would throw it off and onto Farley. Then she would be too warm because she had double the comforter on top of her. Lots of tossing and turning ensued. “For four months, neither one of us was sleeping,” Farley said. Since she had always done custom bed-

ding for her interior design clients, she cut her comforter in half and connected a down comforter and a lightweight cotton blanket with a zipper. The marriage-saving solution seemed to be the greatest invention ever. Farley’s husband looked into getting a patent for the bed covering, but it was not patentable. So they just used it themselves, with him all the while pushing her to get it on the market. Over the past year, Farley decided to go for it and set off on a long process of finding just the right products and materials to bring Keep the Peace to a larger market. The bedding comes in full, queen, Eastern king and California king sizes, and in four different products: cotton, bamboo, down and synthetic down, because Farley realized many people are allergic to down. The zipper makes it possible to fold back or completely remove one side of the comforter without affecting the person on the other side. “I created Keep the Peace bedding as a blank canvas,” Farley said. “It’s designed to be used under a decorative coverlet or quilt so couples can still make their sleeping haven their own.” Two years ago, Farley battled breast cancer and dealt with medications that brought on complications such as night sweats. The zippered bedding came in handy for dealing with her temperature changes. She realized that was a whole other market to be reached by Keep the Peace bedding, as many people experience sleep-related discomforts associated with life states such as menopause and aging, and health issues such as allergies, pregnancy, and cancer. “Our health is everything to us, and sleeping is one of the most important aspects about our health,” Farley said. For October, she contributed a portion of her sales toward breast cancer.

Courtesy photos Moving forward, Farley said she would love to see her product used in the hotel industry so couples can continue to have a good night’s sleep while traveling. Besides design, Farley has many other passions and keeps very busy. She is an advocate for the breast cancer cause and she has also become an advocate for early-onset Alzheimer’s, the disease that took the life of her dear friend and sister, Diane, after she was diagnosed at 49. One in 8 women will get breast cancer, she said, but 1 in 6 will get early-onset Alzheimer’s. Farley has done speaking engagements on the subject and wrote a book in her sister’s memory called “All We Need Is a Happy Ending.” Visit Keepthepeacebedding.com.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

The Loss of Work in the Aftermath Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difﬁcult, if not impossible. In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head ﬁrst onto icy

pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at ﬁrst, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper

tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions. There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in... one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do

better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’” As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to ﬁnd a reasonable solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals with a TBI may need special accommodations such as: SCHEDULE CONSIDERATIONS. You should work with your employer to accommodate shorter work days and/or an increase in breaks. Resting is the key when it comes to recovery. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS. Operating vehicles, heavy equipment or lifting heavy objects are generally prohibited once TBIs are diagnosed. It’s important to keep activities light while promoting rest.

Kitchen Shrink: Tap into the treasures of beer

The Kitchen Shrink BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Beer snags first place for the most popular alcoholic drink in the world, and is probably the oldest fermented beverage, dating back to cave-dwelling days. You don’t have to go to Munich, Germany, the site of the annual Oktoberfest folk and beer festival, to celebrate the virtues of the brewski. Here’s a primer to help you get the most out of beloved suds. Prosit! In the Beer Beginning It is believed that beer was first brewed millennia ago when a recipe was found on a 4,000-year-old Sumerian tablet, waxing poetic in honor of Ninkasi, the goddess of brewing and the harvest. During the European Renaissance, even children were drinking beer, believed to provide a healthful, balanced diet, and a delicious treat flavored with everything from eggs to fresh herbs. Today the hottest trend in this country is the craft beer movement, tapping out big beer companies with at least one new craft brewery setting up shop every day. Hail the Beer! While red wine has been touted for its hearthealthy attributes, say cheers to beer for ratcheting up the immune system from antioxidant flavonoids, particularly in dark beers. Rich in silicon, beer has also been found to boost bone health by revving up skeletal cells that in turn bolster density. Studies have shown that India pale ales or IPAs have the highest mineral content. In addition, beer has been linked to reducing heart disease risk by its B6 and folate content, which are found to lower blood levels of harmful homocysteine. Beer also raises “good” cholesterol, which prevents clotting. There’s more. Thanks to the high water content in beer, along with the hops (female flowers from the hop plant that impart a bitter tang), brews not only

Of course, like all alcoholic beverages, moderation is the key to preventing liver damage, along with the notorious “beer belly.”

Beer Fears and Other Fun Facts A cenosillicaphobiac is one fearful of an empty glass (of beer, of course), while a beer lover is a cerevisaphile. Beer is typically 4 percent to 6 percent alcohol by volume, while the strongest beer, Samuel Adams’ Triple Bock, is 17 percent. Tutankhamun Ale, the costliest beer in the world ($52 a bottle), is prepared in limited editions according to the ancient recipe unearthed in Queen Nefertiti’s Temple of the Sun in Egypt. Going Head-to-Head While there are many varieties of beer, ales and stouts are the most popular. Ales brewed from malted barley and hops ferment quickly using brewers’ yeast (warm fermentation). This combination produces a sweet, full-bodied beer with fruity notes balanced by bitter, herbal undertones. Stouts are hearty, dark beers with a slightly higher alcohol content than the average beer (7 percent to 8 percent) brewed from pale malt and unmalted barley. Trendy IPAs are delightfully bitter, since hops rule. They can be brewed with either single or multiple varieties of the flower. Hop to it Bubbly, salty, citrusy beer will enliven seasonal savory dishes and sweet treats, along with festive whistle-wetters. Pour some rich stout in hearty stews and chilis, or concoct a smoky beer marinade for chicken, duck or steak. Braise short ribs, meatballs or bratwurst in a robust brew. Whip up an airy batter for fish, chips, onion rings and other veggies like asparagus or French beans. Steam seafood in a beer broth. For sweet tooths, make a stout glaze for brownies, cakes or gelatos. Shake up the party with pomegranate beer punch, beer margaritas, sangrias, bloody Marys or this divine pale ale mussel dish from chef Bernard Guillas of the Marine Room. PALE ALE BEER STEAMED BLACK MUSSELS 4 pounds black mussels, beards removed, scrubbed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup diced andouille sausage 1 cup diced eggplant 1/4 cup chopped shallots 2 diced Portobello mushrooms 1 cup diced leeks, white part only 1 bottle (12 ounces) pale ale beer 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds Zest of 1 lemon 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 3/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley Soak mussels in cold water for 30 minutes. Transfer to colander. In a large stockpot, over medium heat, add oil. Toss in sausage, eggplant, shallots, mushrooms and leeks. Cook 5 minutes without browning, stirring often. Add mussels, beer, fennel seed, lemon zest and pepper. Raise heat to high. Cover. Cook 5 minutes or until liquid starts to boil. Uncover. Using slotted spoon, rotate mussels from bottom to top for even cooking. Add cream. Cover. Cook additional 5 minutes or until shells open. Sprinkle with parsley.

Courses, which are taught by Wharton faculty, Chubb subject matter experts and other professionals, include “Understanding the Total Family Balance Sheet,” “Collections,” (art, jewelry, antiques, wine, etc.), “Family Security,” “Relational Agility,” and “Building Your Personal Brand.” Classes are held on Wharton’s campus in Philadelphia, at Chubb Personal Insurance’s headquarters in Whitehouse Station, N.J., and online.
